Maybe the aliens ARE the rivets! And we've been looking at the wrong thing all along. We've got to think outside the prismatic box.

Just curious..what is it you find lacking about Alfred? I swapped a few years ago when QS was having some wobbles with releases keeping up with Mac OS releases. I forget what the exact issues were at the time. It took about 3 months to find

I missed that discussion yet had the same trouble grokking the phrase. Even after watching the video and sort of understanding what they do it didn't click until I read your comment. But then again, I rarely use Zoom since my company i

I would argue that the 250ms lag mentioned in the article was not the reason the ePCR system was perceived as being slow. Consider the new trend in login forms these days whereby you are forced to enter you username or email THEN press a

I was in those same trenches and I have the same scars. However... IIRC the difference between JS fatigue and magpie development with Gems (ooh! Shiny!) is that switching to the latest and greatest gems was usually painless. If you were wil

Every time I read that one of the “downsides” of RoR is that it “doesn’t sound cool” I know I’m in the right place! I’ll have mature teammates who understand the right tool for the right job. I won’t have to work with magpie developers with

Does browserlist not help with packages like this in any way? Ie if you aren’t supporting IE6 or whatever, doesn’t something throw up a warning like “you probably don’t need this package”.

The vitamin "misnomer" really confuses me. I don't think if it was called "hormone D" that people would be snaffling it up trying to self-medicate. Anyhow, I've googled and googled but still can't figure o

I'll add to that one very important component: meetings where everyone comes prepared. Even when people are essential and/or required, if they don't want to be there then it lowers the bar for the entire meeting. Inefficien

Well when you consider that just over 30% of the population of the US and the UK are overweight, it's not something to sneeze at.

Yes indeed. "What's old is new again" truly applies here. Something I enjoy about having been around since the beginning of the internet, is to watch the cyclical nature of information and how each new generation "discov

Just build locally and vendor the asset artefacts. That's how we did it in the "good old days". No containers in containers needed.

Now if you can add a feature to convert Cups -> Grams correctly then you've got my money!

The Home key is fine if you're on a PC. On a Mac the only time you'll see one is on some extended external keyboards. It's rare, if nonexistent on Mac laptops. So you need to press Cmd+Up. Yes, it's two keys instead of

"I will be tracking their technical reporting more closely over the next year." Just curious, but what specifically do you mean? ie. I'd love to keep an eye on this also, but have no idea where to find these types of (public)

You're getting downvoted because it's probably not the reason that the OP was talking about, but sitting on a large wallet - full of cash, receipts or just junk - is VERY bad for your back. And most people don't even realise

"If the business model is boring, you’ll need complex technology to compensate." Could you elaborate on this? What is the complexity compensating for? Boredom of the developers?

I agree, for the most part. However there is definitely something to be said for reversing the cycle. That is, when you feel down or frightened, purposely sit/stand/walk as though you are fully in control and on top of things. You

Agreed. I've been using the idea of a "shame file" in css as a dumping ground for this sort of thing. It was brought to my attention by this post https://csswizardry.com/2013/04/shame-css/ And

Nice job overall. My only nitpick is that there are no affordances to know that you can drag/drop elements. I've often started dragging things by accident only to find out that it's the default behaviour of links. Probably so

Does reiki work on animals? Say, a turtle with a heart condition. Or a worm that was accidentally cut in half with a spade. If so, then I might become a believer. If not, it’s woo.

I'm not trying to troll, so please hear me out. But has Javascript become so universally liked that it's the go-to tool for quick one-off scripts like this? Is it really much better or easier that you would choose it over, say Pyt

You'd be lucky if it was all just a chain of methods. In reality one of those links would be replaced by space. Which is an implicit method call. (Invisible parenthesis) I find this infuriating because the DSL isn't discoverable.

The headline of the article should be a hint. "3 steps to add tests on existing code when you have short deadlines" So, if you're on a short deadline and maybe you didn't write the code the first place, so you might not
