I find them quite useful. Especially if I've never used technology A. After a while you start to see a pattern of people with similar problems to yours moving away from a certain tech. If it weren't for articles like these, we&#x2

Maybe it's for creating NFTs? Every one I've seen so far is hideous yet "priceless". Like the old saying: During a gold rush, sell shovels.

If this sort of thing interests you, watch Nomadland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadland_(film) It's about people in American with similar situations who decide to go off grid. And like the OP are a bit older,

Contrast isn't the only indicator of readability. The font choice here is IMHO terrible for screen. It's much too thin. Taking this to the logical extreme - just for fun - imagine a the perfect contrast score of Vantablack™ on Spe

It really feels like Ruby has reached the point of featuritis. Nobody wants to admit that the language is "done". Well, done enough. None of the recent changes in Ruby are game changers for me except maybe for pattern matching. Bu

I’m on the fence but painfully with both feet on the ground. However it wouldn’t take stiff wind to knock me back on to the plain ol JS side. I’m currently “rewriting” a vue.js app for the sole reason that we’ve just lost a senior dev who w

For my day job working on a UK e-commerce site that gets roughly 100,000 uniques a day, our split is 70/30 for mobile/desktop. Unfortunately within the company it’s closer to 1/99. So no matter how many times I repeat the phr

This is neat, in a look-what-i-can-do sort of way. And I do appreciate the write-up. However.... (and there's always a but) does this page convert better? And if it doesn't, will they have the guts to rollback? I don't know a

I often question the motives of my company. It has only 100 or so employees. Has been in business for 25+ years. But we are on a continual drive to increase sales, hire new people, add size to the facilities. But it wasn't always this

A similar recent trend that really bugs me is apps on OSX that run in the background, with a presence in the toolbar at the top of the screen used to be closable with a single click on the icon, move the mouse to the last item in the menu,

Those independent servers haven’t gone away just because there are new toys in the box. They are still fast, cheap and ubiquitous. I’m no fan of PHP or Wordpress by any stretch. But I agree with the pragmatic choice in this case. It will pr

I'm typing this from a 2019 16" MBP keyboard. And I can say without a doubt that it is my favourite keyboard of probably 10 macs I've ever owned. There is a Macbook Air sitting nearby which I just tried for comparison. It&#x2

My biggest gripe - since I can’t add to your excellent critique of today’s design problems - is when someone comes up with yet another css framework or the like which removes ALL affordances, hides critical functions under mysterious icons,

You've just described my company! I struggled through rewrites of JS from jQuery -> Backbone -> Vue -> Webpacker + Vue until the "head of IT" went off to do marketing where he was better suited. Now that I have the r

No, I think the point was that you would have be aware of these types of cases - and cleaning up after exceptions isn't the only one - and deal with it in your code. Maybe it's trivial to do in Java, but still it has to be done. W

Out of curiosity since I haven't touched C/C++ since university, but has much changed since 2014? Or even 2007 in the world of C that a date is needed? I (naively) thought that C was pretty much "done". And any articles

Then the aliens started using Javascript for everything. Replacing aeons of stable, time-proven technology. And that's the last time we detected a signal from the mysterious celestial body known as Alpha Node 4.1.13. Or was that 6.3.21
