Not version 1 but I've been on it since Photoshop 3 and have had the exact opposite experience. It was rough early on, crashed frequently and often. Got better around Photoshop 4/5 then had another rough period. I've found th

Cannot watch a video at all with it enabled while in my account. If I go incognito I can. FreeTube for now, I guess.

What I'm arguing is that we're taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back rather than a linear path of improvement. In this case one of the steps backward being the walled gardens, steps forward including the democratization of the in

I find "we didn't, therefore we can't" a kind of defeatist and unrealistic reaction. The internet has been shaped and reshaped a few times, in a lot of ways for the better, I don't see why it couldn't continue

Pro tips should make you faster, not slower ;) Carting your request over to chatgpt rather than learning the basics of jq doesn't make much sense. I basically know enough jq to traverse a document, which took a few days of muscle memor

Look for all the complaints about Slack ... it mostly just works for me. And it's one of the heaviest Electron apps out there.

I haven't found a single laptop that competes with the Macbook on build quality, but moving to a Pixel phone from an iPhone was basically a wash.

Why? Ultimately we're talking about a web app with a thin wrapper desktop client that hopefully has an API between the two. Does Java have a killer framework for this? Something that builds super fast, creates a small executable that d

I think there are a lot of database libraries across a lot of languages that let you jam data directly into an object. The only thing I think (some) ORMs do really well is migration management. But you can also devise your own patterns for

by nkozyra 3y ago
All of these choices seem reasonable except letting an ORM be a sticking point. Is there an institutional issue with SQL knowledge or is it exceedingly complex database? As someone who finds ORMs more trouble than they're worth I reall

Sure, but then there's nothing wrong with rebasing it and making a nicer story for other people that want to review it. Diffs are great but sometimes they're just as overwhelming in a huge PR. It's nice to first follow 5-10 c

Like generics, it took a long time but Go does have them, unfortunately using the interface keyword in yet another way.

I feel like diagrams should not be pretty. For example, colors should convey meaning rather than being aesthetic or artistic choices. I get that ugly software diagrams are not fun to look at, but to me dressing them up is like adding curves

There's nothing really wrong about UML, but I find that its association with legacy software development kind of hurts it more than its actual spec and intent. I think the biggest thing a diagram should show you is the way data can and
