What solutions would you pay for as a software engineer? What would your boss/team lead pay for? You can't really do it for someone elses domain, you need a motivated partner in that domain for that (my general experience, of cour

As an outsider there are constantly small details that are off in product and marketing that hint to this. Its really sad to see, I keep using firefox and get a little sad every time I see these signs that this company does not know what it

The motions of the sun and seasons (my personal experience) are much easier explained by the "round" model :) The truth from ground level is more like "I can't actually know if it's round or not, because the scale i

In fact, sometimes I work with wifi off just because it creates a special peace of mind — and then I have to turn it on to do git push :)

I work like this every day in my game that I am building. I’m almost the only one using the engine, and 90% of my work is in lua. I use the source code and the lua 5.1 reference for everything. I hardly google something in a week of work, s

Well, our values and norms say that being an employee, that some 40 of our hours per week are owned by another person, is good and normal. Freedom has very little value it seems. I'm like you and I just love to be free. I do whatever I

For complex GIS stuff in OpenLayers, you can do stuff like connect to a GeoServer instance and edit features with a ready made protocol like WFS-T. I have been involved in making these kind of tools for enterprises, like editing address poi

Reading the comments its obvious that this hits a nerve with many people, exactly as the essay argues :) Our conceptual world is just that, conceptual, and is open to interpretation and change, and is fundamentally open ended. And at our cu

I like the JVM and have done lots of code for it, but the java download&install / setting up PATH / non native gui-look / no exe-files / should i get se/ee/jre/sdk etc etc must be a big contributing fa

I guess the thing that puzzles me is that if they are run threaded (concurrently) they seem just as hard to reason about as threaded IO to me. And that would leave the motivation to be performance gains by being able to reduce the amount of

I have never used async/await and cant really understand it. Is it like coroutines in lua? It seems very similar. But I guess its not limited to one thread like lua? Whats makes it better then threaded IO? Losing the overhead of thread

I would guess whatever you do on top of typescript, its still a superset of javascript, which will always have holes in it. Its that 100% guarantee that the author is looking for, and that Elm provides. The difference between 99% and 100% i

Aah why did they complicate tree style tabs. I tried once again to use it after they changed it but I'm not going to create some userChrome.css file on all my systems to hide the native tabs, and the plugin looks stupid now with some b

Thats a very good formulation of current windows, I always struggle to find the words to describe it. As someone quite new to Linux, I wonder what setup are you running?

Someone like Cook is probably very very busy with the logistics of running one of the worlds biggest companies. I dont think he cares that much about products, hes a businessman not a user

My ASUS Zenbook (like 3 years old) works absolutely flawlessly. I actually had full crashes on windows, but none on linux. I never thought it would be this good. The only issues I have had is that the sound output sometimes does not automat

I agree that's a good change, but I want to be able to control my computer. It started to feel like it was Microsofts computer, not mine.

I've been using stock Ubuntu 18 on my laptop (zenbook) for a year and have had pretty much 0 issues. I consider myself a bit lucky in that though. The driver experience is actually better then on windows, on windows I had some random c

I like Valve too, its a really smart company in a world of stupid, but the Steam client is a really lazy thing, it has not improved much in many years, it is not worth a 30% cut to me.

On top of this, as I recall everyone hated steam when it came, that you had to have it running to launch Counter-Strike through steam. I know I found it very annoying. Now Steam is home to most people and they are angry over the next change

I love lua syntax, its the only language I feel I actually dont have to look up syntax when I return to it a year later. Its just stupid simple, and that has a big value for me. Maybe Java < 8 also .. also pretty simple but very verbose

I dont actually think people would poke the icon :) they like the trade, which is weird, but psychology is weird sometimes. I asked my friend if it bothers him that his google home device sends all sound in his home to google, and he replie

The new sites with their own implemented loading bars are just super annoying to use. Sometimes they just stall and look stupid. State is bad! Stateless page loads work! Dont use SPAs unless you do something that looks like a desktop app! P

Hey, me too. Was certain it would be about getting fat. Thing for me is, I was not exercising before, same weight for 10 years and I’m not sleep deprived at all with our 3 months old. But I do eat out more, and have a tendency to not really
