This could very well be a pattern that some teams evolve into. Specs are the new source -- they describe the architectural approach, as well as the business rules and user experience details. End to end tests are described here too. This a

You are correct. But it's a ridiculous suggestion. Can you imagine the local corner store with a bulletin board, and some patron tacks up a picture of a swastika, and the owner of the store is not allowed to take it down?

You don't have a constitutional right to post on Facebook. When you invest your life into platforms run by for profit corporations, you agree to play by their rules. Merging state and big tech is not going to help.

Good stuff, except don't get too excited about `datalist`. It just doesn't have enough hooks to be actually useful for anything other than a little prototype.

What do you mean by open and closed? ChromeOS is based on ChromiumOS, which is open source. I guess macOS is based on Darwin technically, but the ratio of open source to proprietary is much higher for ChromeOS than macOS, no?

It's only one sliver of the problem here, but -- do you know how often I update my code editor? Like once every five or ten years, to the version that was released a year or two ago. I do my own commits by hand so it's moot anywa

This tracks. Tasks that used to be a day or two of grunt work are now an hour with Claude. And there is a lot of that type of work to do if you're trying to grow a business. But, something in there should be trying to be exceptiona

That is a lot of complaining for having no suggested better alternative. And there is your answer to the clickbait title -- we're still using markdown because there's no alternative that is so much better that it is going to dethr

It has been pretty rough. Their own numbers report just a single `9` for Actions in Feb 2026 with 98% uptime. But that said -- I don't get the 90% number. Anecdotally, it seems believable that 1 in 50 times (2%) in Feb that Actions b

I remember those Cyrix chips well. We had a little shop where we would assemble boxes to spec. And hey, a 486 is a 486, we reasoned. They were cheap, ran cool, and just about as fast as the others.

I had a friend in ninth grade in the late 1900s who was a talented artist. He used his skills to make beautifully expressive pixel-art hardcore pornography on the TI-82. He crafted a few different scenes, where for each one, he set it to l
