True, but varies by org. The problem is that you only get out of GPT what you ask of it. For example, it’s likely that more senior developers would write abstractions because they can simplify unit testing. Others might have dived into writ

Canva slowly built out enterprise features, but it’s not fully there yet. They seem to be aiming for what Sketch was aiming for before Figma overtook it - the ability for teams to publish and use design systems and templates in Canva. Which

Have you actually used the products you’re recommending and the Adobe equivalents? I would say that InDesign easily won over then industry-standard Quark nearly two decades ago, and Resolve is okay but not great at most things. Don’t get me

Actually when I hit pages like this, I use the increase font size buttons. I tend to do this on phones too, especially. Yes, reader mode is also an option, but just bumping up the font size works too. You could also go back to the days when

Start with ChatGPT or a sample extension. The unfortunate part of web browser extensions is that, like the treadmill of web frameworks and app development, browsers can’t seem to stop changing and tweaking how extensions work and remove per

I was using punchline to actually mean “point”, as in: I assumed the article would show some examples of toggle buttons, but the _point_ of the article was whether the checkboxes were round or square in shape. Yes, literally, at the very en

by lstamour 3y ago
Yes, but it took awhile. :) Also, I feel like the era when checkboxes were actually filled squares or Xs within square braces were less “checkboxy” in that they filled a box but were not “checkmark” shaped. It’s arguable they were toggles a

I absolutely agree with this. Especially with buttons that toggle state, you need to be careful to use the right terminology. But I think we can say “Mute on” and be understood: TVs would often display text like “Mute on” while silencing th

I should add - keep your own backups. I can’t trust that a service this cheap will not lose my data somehow. It hasn’t yet, but with margins this thin I wonder if they’ll ever go out of business on me.

Try racknerd… they have various Black Friday/new year specials that rarely/never expire and the price can be as low as $25/year for a decent 2-cpu VPS. Not the same hardware as OVH, storage often limited, but still an interes

Yes, I agree. It was a joy to use contactless payment in Amsterdam, and like in London with the TfL app, I could check my payments via the OVpay app, take bikes on trains, and they have very frequent regional trains too. Actually, the OV ap

That’s interesting. As a non-Texan, I’d assumed that since y’all is a contraction that it would signify a more casual tone in the same way that “He’ll” is less formal than “He will”, etc.

Literally, and speaking generally, the stock price might go up due to short term gains? Layoffs are a form of cost-cutting and assuming it doesn’t affect the service or product, this leads to short term increased profits or offsets expected

In case anyone is confused, the problem is that dates loop, such that moy=1, dom=1, year=2023 will not match despite being greater than Sept 1, 2022. Technically, then, if you wanted this logic to work you would have to add a second “or” cl

It’s true that if your goal is something like Cucumber BDD which can be read by non-programmers, then you would want an abstraction layer over the code that hides some of the syntax. This is also where we could get into Ruby being used as a
