Refactoring from a function returning a string to another returning a string, and all compiles, yet without tests nothing works in production because it’s not the same string. On top of that, sometimes mocking in tests also hide the string

So they basically train us to worsen our speech to avoid being interrupted. I remember my literature teacher telling us in class how we should avoid those filler words, and instead allow for some simple silences while thinking. Although, to

Safari tends to do a good job at that too. I currently have 867 tabs on Firefox desktop, and 495 in Safari mobile on my phone (I need to start cleaning safari, because weird things happen at 500 when a new tabs is opened). Safari on desktop

Sounds like a new genre: live music generated on the fly depending on each user’s context. Just a new possibility!

Music is a form of Art, so the quote checks out. While robots mature, analog arts and one time IRL art events are safe and might be the emphasis.

Side note: that ADM-3A bears such a beautiful design. I like how its curves are akin to the screen curvature.

No commitee want to change it, because nobody agrees. And nothing changes. Can’t we accept to start a change that may take a decade or more to go forward? Instead of not starting that change.

It’s known as the parameter object pattern[0]. A draw back would be is you want to overload such a method with fewer parameters, it then becomes weird. [0]: https://wiki.ralfbarkow.ch/view/parameter-object

I think it kinda was one of Perl’s goals at the time. But the syntax is rather unusual.

Not using python, then, because this causes useless issues.

That's nice! ## Shameless plug I explored a bit what older tech such as IBM's TN5250 terminals could bring to the Web [0] 2 years ago. In particular for data input scenarios. It's designed for Desktops, not mobile. [0]: http

Vertical tabs and tab groups: I was waiting for them for years! So far, I like it. Although, name-wise, "Tab container" and "Tab Group" sound like similar concepts based on their names. How dissimilar are these 2 feature

Indeed. I tend to like quiet visual timers, though. Something like: https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/63f18bde-f179-4b8e-a32a-8e4...

Worst debugging issues are always things I can't access directly, on top of being rare. Think network appliance in the middle that don't log or not at the level you need (and sometimes they can't log what you need). Those usu

At least China managed to have a single common language spoken by everyone, on top of local weaker dialects. In the EU, local languages are still much stronger than dialects in China. Parts of the Europeans also make do with English, a lang

Agreed. We all have a duty to respect languages and their official transcription. Pinyin with tones does not look much different from French with accents. In both cases, most people aren’t likely to pronounce it correctly, though. The irony

Some cli are event worse at this when you try -h or —help and they tell you that no, you must run ‘cli help’ instead of showing the help already.

I always thought it could be cool to use systemd as a CI agent replacement someday: Each systemd service could represent a step built by running a script, and each service can say what it depends on, thus helping parallelize any step that c

That’s great advice! A virtual office hours! The brain is not a muscle, but it behaves like one with abilities you no longer use: it drops them. Like speaking another language you once knew but haven’t used in years, or forgetting theorems
