The context is about strengthening emissions standards, not banishing all fossil fuel use, so I’m not sure where you’re getting any “absolutes” from.

This exact thing happened with me and my friends in high school, except the random kid who eagerly tried the wildcard net send command chose to write “hey you b**es”, got suspended a few days later, and the IT department never figured out h

Merry Christmas & good luck. I was scheduled to be on call but a lifesaver of a coworker covered for me. Turned out my flights were canceled and I’ll be missing the holiday with my family after all. No active incidents, thankfully.

At this point I’m pretty sure we’ll have AGI and commercial fusion power before we get Mixins in CSS. Edit: I’m very happy with the last decade of progress in CSS at the feature level, but at the language level I get the sense that there’s

It was perfect! Full of low-key wisdom and fun observations. Doesn’t feel like “content marketing” in the slightest. I wish the Hapland series was coming to Mac, but I respect your decision to snub Apple.

Ah, Flash. Simulating a bouncing ball using keyframe-driven ActionScript that I only sort of understood was my “hello world” moment. Love to see it being used like this. If only I could find those old .fla files…

Cmd/Ctrl-F in general is probably the biggest invisible time-saver if you can count UX patterns.

Seeing a lot of “fiddly” software being listed here. Stuff that lets you configure and tune a workflow endlessly. It’s ironic that this is the sort of thing most of us will think of, since it doesn’t really account for time saved so much as

Yeesh. This whole thing sounds like some gross commercialization of a problem blown out of proportion, that doesn’t really work, hurts honest customers, and only gets enforced due to some sunk cost fallacy going on in the minds of the venue

Can’t edit my post, but the term I was trying to remember was “conceptual integrity”, coined by Fred Brooks in a The Mythical Man-Month. Here’s a c2 wiki page on the subject: https://wiki.c2.com/?ConceptualIntegrity

Yeah that’s an important distinction! Iirc, the essay distinguishes between singular visionary vs decision-maker roles. A decision maker is there to break ties and contain bike shedding, and you pretty much always need one, whereas a singul

Neither are programs, tests, or type definitions, but these are generally still valuable things to have.

Maybe as an experiment. If it means sacrificing velocity, I don’t think it would ultimately be “blessed” by MS. Perhaps a better way MS could contribute is to define a formal specification for the type checker, which would make efforts like

I agree, but pretty much every UI has its own learning curve to get over, and taken together it’s just overwhelming to get started with. Curious to see how the tutorial system in the premium version helps address this. I’m cautiously hopefu

Frontend UX developer perspective on DF: The ascii interface is actually fine and mostly a superficial complaint. The real problem is just how hard the many interfaces are to navigate and learn, and how unconventional their designs are. If

I cook a lot. I enjoy cooking with gas and I appreciate it’s benefits, but I avoid/minimize it because it is so plainly inefficient and frankly more hazardous than a modern electric or induction burner.
