That you consider this article to be man bashing is telling. I read it more as asshole/jerk/perv bashing. In the author's experience, those are primarily men, and in my own experience I would agree with that observation. Inte

In teams I've worked on recently, it's been less of a "which is easier" and more of "what percentage of our customers would we reach". Worldwide, Android phone significantly outnumber iPhones, but in Canada and

Jurisage is sort of on the edge of this with their research software.

I've worked with a few different legal tech firms over the past few years and in my experience the exact opposite is true. Most lawyers (that I've seen) have embraced automation. Lawyers don't want to increase billable hours

I don't really expect to find one (I won't have the results for an 8-character input until tomorrow afternoon sometime, and 9-character inputs around mid-March if I don't reboot my machine), but thought it would be an interes

Netflix is fairly high quality, as far as it goes. But Amazon Prime is stuffed to the gills with shitty movies (and they only display the IMDB rating for some of them, not sure what the algorithm for that is), and looking them up all the ti

Yep, this is expected much of the time. Dev-Ops is basically always on-call. I've stopped marketing myself as full-stack because I don't want to be on call. I can (and will) still do the job if needed, but prefer to specialize in

In my career (over 30 years now), full-stack in the context of web development has always referred to an engineer who could setup the tech stack and application from scratch. They can manage the servers, administer the network (as it relate

Meh, I had a whole thing written here, but I'll summarize instead. Don't perpetuate your own stereotypical views. I have personally known very, very few developers who I would describe as having poor taste, fashion, or habits. The

In my opinion, you're missing the point of the article. * CSS is not a markup language at all, it's a DSL that typically and generically operates within an existing markup language (HTML, XML, SGML, etc.) * all code is about &quot

I notice that page 3 of 4 doesn't have a Next button to go to the next page - that seems wrong. In fact, the second-last page (even in a search result) doesn't have a Back button, but the last page does have a Previous button. Cla

I've worked for three legal tech companies over the past few years, and my sense is that there is a swell of lawyers moving away from paper and MS Office and onto both desktop (PC Law, for example) and SaaS (Clio) infrastructures. If y

Looks pretty great! I agree that scrolling is way too much of a chore (the scroll distance appears to have an upper speed limit regardless of how much I try to make it go faster - I'm on Edge/MacOS). I think the education model ha

I'm a little surprised that spaces for indentation are still a thing given their accessibility issues. I agree that most IDEs cover up any usability problems with them though (same with tabs).

I get why the "protected classes" line was replaced with the better one covering all harassment, but why the hell was "fire breathing wizards" put back in?

No point in over-complicating things. If serial `00001` and `1` are meant to be different, then store it as a string. If they would definitely refer to the same item, strip the leading zeroes for storage (and comparisons!) and keep it as a

For a hackathon a few years back I attempted to make the InnoDB engine in MySQL employ temporal queries. In theory, any change to a row would be timestamped, and `UPDATE` and `DELETE` remapped to `INSERT`. The query plan for a regular query

The last I looked at this, code still had to be written in C (which was actually kind of fun - wrote my own small framework). Nowadays we get all the popular languages ( http://gwan.com/faq#languages ) and as long as you&#x27

As a dev, the only problem I've encountered so far is the inability to run x86 Windows virtual machines. It's otherwise been quite a bit faster at virtually everything compared to a 2019 MBP.

Since this post has been edited to no longer have any content, the comments are now senseless (freed of their context, at least). It might be a nice feature to be able to see what the article (and even the parent comment) said at the time t

A lot of things I've read on the whole mask/no-mask mandates touch on the bit where the CDC said that vaccinated individuals did not need to wear masks, but the general public decided that meant that no one really needed them anym
