Yes and no. If enough companies offer it, and enough people who have a choice choose to work for those companies, others will have to follow suit.

IMO this is about as tame as it gets when it comes to advertising. You can switch it off, and there's no tracking. I hope they make enough from it to make a good case for tracking-free advertising. (And not that they end up wishing the

I still remember the thrill of chatting online with my schoolfriends for the first time. We called each other on our landlines, coordinated which NetMeeting 'directory' to meet on, hung up so we could use dial-up internet, and it

Saying 'it wasn't even a question' disrespects the fact that it certainly is a question. The decision seems to have come before the reasons. Reading through it bears that out. The actual reasons given are not convincing, and

Anyone else remember when the https://googleblog.blogspot.com was one of the most exciting sites on the web? I used to check it religiously. Haven't looked at it for several years now.

> Last month, just 7% of new vehicle sales in the UK were EVs, so the country still has a way to go. Hopefully the ban will serve to push people towards EVs well ahead of the ban. This sounds like a tacit admission that EVs are not goo

Thanks for the advice. I'm not American so maybe these things have different meanings there. You can read it as 'conservative' if that is better. I was contrasting to the article, which started out quoting a 'group of le

I consider myself right-wing, and I do think this is an idea whose time has come, along with UBI. Primarily because the capitalist model works well when there's an assumption of people generally playing fair (call it iterated prisoners

I pick a random friend I haven't spoken to in a while, and force myself to make the call even though I have nothing particular to say. Sometimes it feels like everyone is looking/waiting for an excuse to call, so they can have a c

I only ever press 2 buttons on my microwave. +30 seconds, and Stop. The other 10 might have stopped working years ago and I wouldn't have noticed.

> Angular is unlikely to ever find itself in that kind of situation. AngularJS (v1) found itself in exactly that situation! But it's true that it doesn't look like new-Angular is going that way (at least not yet).

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Yes, the basic template update mechanism is fine, and it does seem to be fast. I was talking more about the change detection , how it knows that foo has changed in the first place, particularly if it

Here's one account of something similar - MSN Messenger's attempt to interoperate with AIM against their will. At the end of the article the engineers on opposite sides of the battle met up and discussed it. It's a nice artic

@mgechev Thank you, I appreciate you replying to someone who's clearly not the biggest fan :) My main point isn't so much the individual difficulties like debugging, yes you can build something on top to fix it. It's that the

My biggest problem with it is it's basically a new JS-like language written on top of JS. You just don't write idiomatic JS (or even TS) in Angular. In templates is the biggest example - where you can use some JS constructs but no

I feel like Angular is now where jQuery was a few years ago - used to be huge but no-one is starting new projects in it unless they have to, and they keep releasing new versions for the large existing base. The actual updates here are a bit

True but their AI adds a lot of value. Searching for people is invaluable (though to be fair if you have the files locally, Windows Photos does that too.) Searching by item in the photo is less useful but I can imagine people use it now and

What about documentation? The maintainer doesn't need to document the package in order to solve their own problem (at least, not to the same level.) Should that be chargeable too? In which case the project will likely never get off the

Isn't there a huge difference between Google de-ranking a website in search, vs. Twitter etc. literally banning a link from being posted? When you search, you are literally asking Google for their opinion on which sites to see. Any r

This comment strongly reminds me of the now-legendary Dropbox one[1] For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS

We did this slightly differently. For login we stored a hash of the normalized email address (all lowercase, and handling gmail's dots and plusses). For sending emails we had them encrypted in a separate database, which only the mail-s

Pretty much. There's also often a clause giving the company rights to use bits of the software in future projects (but not to sell them standalone.) That way future projects can be much faster to develop, there's a lot of overlap
