I think it's more about a common lack of understanding that there is a world outside of America that actually matters, economically speaking and that the "economy" is actually a global system.

This is a worthwhile read. Don't trust user input and try your damnest not to feed it into third party components. If you do, keep them up to date.

Looks like someone got a WSJ sub and is trying to monetize the costs... Jokes aside: good summary.

I listed my favorites above. Generalizing it: Having smart people who really understand UX helps a lot with minimizing those months of pain before the payoff.

I spent 25 years using emacs before vscode (1997 to 2022-ish). I didn't go deep, I mostly just enjoyed the core parts of emacs + ccmode. I don't enjoy LISP but I still enjoy emacs, if that makes any sense. MS made some very real a

Still using VSCode, but you kind of know that's it's going to go sour eventually. It is Microsoft. :/ I figure e.g. emacs will always be there when that happens. All I need is a Github Copilot clone and a good code search fea

We kind of went crazy with protocol support, starting early on. It was a good way to learn the protocols in depth. The late 90s was an exciting time. It eventually became a defining feature of the language's library. But we were too bu

It was great for certain niche applications, like: * The Roxen web server * The Opera Mini backend service (150k CPU cores, 5k servers, 150k pageloads/s, 3 million inline fetches per second, 100+ Gbit/s - 15 years ago) I worked on

I mean, they were never so narrow that a person in a wheelchair wouldn't fit. Or couldn't turn spin around. I guess the benefit is that now two people in wheelchairs can pass each other, thus avoiding one of them needing to spend

To be crude: Books and shelvings are very affordable compared to employees. Every part of each library doesn't need to curated by a local librarian. The primary goal of libraries is to educate the public - not to employ librarians, r

I really loved the local library in the 80s/very early 90s (as a kid without network access). I probably spent like 20-25 hours per week there. Now when I visit it's always meh. They have sacrificed breadth and density for "c

Meh. Adobe is a large corp. You'd want want them to masquerade as something they are not? Why would that be better? I am so over pile-ons by people who see themselves as being SO important. Also: it feels really weird to defend Adobe

The colder temperatures of their new environment might have made them tastier to us. Also, salt. I find shrimp from the cold north sea (Pandalus Borealis) a lot more tastier than the much larger shrimp found in more temperate seas.
