It doesn't happen most of the time yet, but that doesn't mean it's a gamble. I wouldn't describe it as "extremely unlikely" We actually have figured out how to run public sector software projects successfully.

Having done a lot of work in both spaces, trust me -- there's nothing luxury about getting this work done in the public space. Also, extensively planning and specifying requirements ahead of time is exactly the opposite of how you pull

When you're building a component that will be used as part of larger applications, possibly written by other people, declaring things as private lets you cordon off internal parts of the component so that it's safer to change them

There are tons of options for mail server if you can find a client UI you're happy with over Gmail's web UI (or Inbox's :'( ). IMO that's the hardest piece to replace, and I'm still not happy with any alternati

IMO puppeteer is the best way to go now, it's maintained by the Chrome team and uses officially supported developer APIs: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer I built a basic CLI wrapper to make it easy to dr

It does not rely on Docker. On a Linux system you can use the build tools and there's no dependence on Docker at all, it uses chroot's for its isolated "studio" build environments. The mac and windows habitat clients use

There's no reason it _has_ to be like this. I feel like it became common wisdom that you just shouldn't run a mail server too early and the cool kids all gave up working on mail servers. The author is right though about how terrif

I'm with apetresc, describing this as a "full stack functional product" is absurd if you really understand what's being asked for. The company and product might be stupid, and the unpaid offer shit, but as far as reasona

Apple had an amazing product for schools and was dominating one-to-one laptop programs with their highly-repairable white plastic macbooks. And then they discontinued them to push iPads and the far-pricier macbook pros. Apple willingly jett

I read the article? The new feature uses a whitelist provided by Mozilla to determine if a given site is allowed to load an asset from a given external hostname. Their example makes it seem like twitter gets to be blessed with being able to

Sounds like this will block hosted analytics solutions like Google Analytics, but the same data is available to the first party site if they roll their own analytics. In this case you're not really adding any protection for the user, j
