I have some Romanian colleagues and they're all quite patriotic and often talk about how great Romania is.

As someone who makes bloated sites I can only say that management doesn't give a fuck about bloat as long as features are checked of in due time. So please don't blame me

I, for one, was a really bad student, until I discovered learning in bed. A desk is still to distracting for me. In bed, phone out of reach and reading one hour, sleeping half an hour was super efficient for me. You only process material wh

+1 for "You don't know js", it's a must read for any js programmer IMO. I haven't read eloquent JS though, you say it's a different level of learner. Can you expand a bit? Is Eloquent for after "you don&#x

They could do that just fine if they picked an existing UI library on a company level. There's no need to invent their own. Never in the history of software has one lost a sale due to how the buttons of their product look like. And I g

Yes and I've worked at such companies, and all of them had internal ui libraries that were way worse (along every metric: features, performance, consistency, documentation, a11y etc) than most popular options like MUI out there.

Companies should just stop thinking they need their own design system. There's zero value in reinventing how buttons and inputs should look like. I've worked for many companies, big and small, and they all had the arrogance to bel

Note that openlayers has greatly improved its webgl capabilities last year and seems to offer equal performance for mvt now.

1000cc really doesn't tell you much. A 300 2-stroke KTM EXC will give you a way more thrilling ride than a 1200 BMW RT.

Ok. I get that. But to play devil's advocate: with that mentality we'd never learn a new technology and still be stuck on punch cards. And I don't have the time anymore for hobby projects. I'd say it's ok to introdu

It's the longitude that changes. Note that lat parralels are horizontal, but you measure on which parralel you are, so you measure north-south position.

At least in the netherlands and belgium, the meter is from the utility company, but comes with a public serial port (the so called P1 port) to read the data for smart home purposes.

I have the same setup. I used it to make a green light go on when we have more than 500 watt excess solar production, so my wife knows she can turn on the washing machine for free.

My PPL instructor said he had to unlearn some bad habits with students that had a lot of sim experience.

by kabes 3y ago
I have a PPL and I recently tested some simulators and I find them way more difficult than actual flying, because there's no sense of distance and no motion. So maybe they're a great way to learn IFR, but for VFR you would need a

And who defines the W3C specs? Browser vendors! And if they don't agree with the non browser vendors within W3C, they create another standard org (WHATWG).

Lufthansa does what the FAA recommends and SFO had air canada almost landing on the taxiway because of the visual approach not too long ago. So calling it an asshole move is turning things around.
