A strongly typed VueJS powered by C# instead of JS/TS would be my dream SPA development environment. Hopefully this might feel similar.

It doesn't force restarts to install new "features" you never asked for and can't decline all while creepily reminding you that "don't forget, Windows is a service!"

They don't want to be just a PC platform anymore. They're looking at Apple's high-end lifestyle brand and trying to get in on some of that. I wish they'd be happy with the organic brand they're building around XBox

Using their products, you can so easily taste how Microsoft is trying to become an "ecosystem", a "lifestyle brand", a "platform", and so on, and to use their OS as the relentless foot in the door for getting t

It wasn't until I (American) spent many years living in Europe that I really came to appreciate the effect that the order of foundational moral values has on the nuts and bolts behavior of a given society. France puts equality above al

> a succession of endless, snaking queues where passengers are laboriously urged forward like some indigestible, resented lump of food in a small intestine. I always appreciate it when journalists choose to add some verve to their prose

If you like this I'd recommend giving dynalist a try. It's like workflowy, but less purist, with enough bells and whistles to really make it viable day to day.

Sounds like MeteorJS.

That's sweet and inspiring. We shouldn't overlook the importance of being loved by a person that believes in us, can provide just the right kind and quantity of push, and is truly happy when we're happy.

Repeatedly taking jobs outside of my "core competency". Perspective taking.

A thorough overview like this would be just the thing for me right now. But is this book still applicable/comprehensive 7 years later? I imagine that a lot of today's issues revolve around OIDC/SAML/etc. which this book

I was raised like this (of Russian background) but I will not have the same benefit, there is no extended family from either side anywhere near me or my partner. And this applies to most of my social circle, all of whom have moved around fo

Another regular rider here who often uses the system outside of rush hour. And it has gotten way worse after Sandy. People keep saying that it's not so bad during rush hour, as if we shouldn't expect a 9pm ride to be any better th

Same here. Increases my mood, positivity, and sleep quality, very noticeably.

Many countries have done terrible things and then lost wars and empires. How many of them unambiguously and thoroughly confronted their past, memorialised it, sought to make amends with their victims, and then built an entire state centered

They make me feel like I'm living in some emotions-cranked-to-11 stage play. Everything is overly intense and saturated. Things that I encounter rarely, uncontrollable love/lust! rage! betrayal! us-against-the-world loyalty! new s

It's funny that when considering the current dire and dispiriting geopolitical situation, it's stories like this that bolster my faith in mankind.

I think they've even done one better. They've managed to associate, in the public's mind, the idea of "electric drivetrain" with "conventional but stunning good looks" with "amazing performance."

Past a certain point of career progression, soft skills are a necessity in most industries. I don't see why it should be different with software.

As a chefs career progresses, they start to want to develop recipes, work out how to cook them effectively and then teach the juniors, develop the menu, pick the ingredients and vendors, and even help with the layout of the restaurant. What

That's just a bad company you're working for, it absolutely does not have to be this bad.

After you have a good decade of experience under your belt, most programming is... easy. Sure maybe not if you're working on self driving cars or game engines or kernel modules, but then the programming is only half the point anyway -

In Germany there's lots of paranoia, some justified and some not, about the NSA/Patriot act/etc. that leads to complete avoidance of American service providers and clouds. I've seen German companies at small scale doing

There's a big difference between a developer grudgingly keeping a cheap headless mini-computer under a stack of papers somewhere that gets used only as needed, and a developer using your system as their "home base" and buying

Xamarin, Adobe stuff. And I've found a Windows VM in a Linux host to be passable, though suboptimal. Especially because you only run it sporadically, so even though it's a VM you still have to deal with its compulsive and compulso

Indeed, and I hate it. I have a beloved 2015 MBP that I'm trying to keep alive, but it's becoming a little underpowered and it's not upgradeable. New MBPs are a non-starter with the port and keyboard situation and my coworker
