I'm confused why Apple should get to compare the stuff in their Technology Preview, instead of the actual browser that people are using day to day. It took Apple eons to ship `navigator.getUserMedia`. This was a serious hindrance to th

Spectre I think? The mitigation patches make branch-heavy code slower.

Excalidraw is one example I use of software done right. They had a vision for what they wanted to provide. Their MVP was functional, and it scratched the basic itch. Since then, they've been adding features which only make it more awes

Original MySpace was ColdFusion. They later migrated to .NET. I can't imagine wanting to pay for either one of those back in that era.

This is because while we chat with people in-person, we're not as aware that people are looking at us. We feel more free to react with body language, or expression. We can interrupt without the awkward, "Oh, I'm sorry, you go

I do remember seeing the K56flex AND the x2 firmware upgrades available on Geocities warez sites of the late 90s... I was too scared to brick my modem.

These are still used in mission critical environments where someone with a Wyse Terminal sits on one end (or at least a terminal emulator) and calls systems in places like a cable company's head end. It's definitely antiquated but

I took your comment to instill a sort of "pecking order" among back-end languages. In this case, it sounded an awful lot like "it goes from _insert language(s) you approve of_ to PHP to JavaScript". Basically that you&#x

Walmart.com (during Black Friday) would beg to differ. LinkedIn might want a word too. I'm sure every language has its success story(ies) along with a long list of failures. Shopify and Stripe are successful with Rails! JavaScript is n

The only problem with using it as a controller (The original DX7) was that their MIDI implementation was incomplete. So you only got velocity values of 0-100 instead of 0-127. It still has a wonderful key-bed. I've owned a couple of &#

Right, and it definitely wasn't a comparison between the two proposals. I love OCaml/F#... and Elixir. So the pipes are cool with me. I've never tried the Hack variant however. As far as decorators as a "need". You&

The decorators proposal has been stalled out for years! It's actually a bit scary as Typescript forged forward with the original proposal (Angular, NestJS apps have almost cemented these in many prod apps). So there stands to be a lot

What's to hate about drywall? It's easy to work with. It's fairly resilient to abuse. It's easy to paint. It's simple to patch. Having dealt with plaster, wood and concrete walls, I can't think of anything I&#x

I know for several of my "stations", they kept trying to suggest Coldplay. I'd constantly give them the thumbs down as I didn't feel Coldplay matched what I was going for. It didn't seem to affect their later sugges

I've never seen an algorithm better than Pandora's recommendations (back around 2011 when I used to listen daily). I found so much music that I still love to this day because of how "smart" that thing was/is.

While there is a BIOS hack to supposedly do that on an XPS 9500/9510, I've yet to see anyone get it to work. I am typing this comment on a 9500 that is mostly great with Linux. Its battery life is subpar though. I'm limited t

I was thinking, "This is JavaScript with a mut modifier from Rust... and a tiny bit of OCaml thrown in for good measure" F# is like a VERY nice OCaml in my view... so I'm biased.

Forgive my ignorance but, isn't a finger prick measuring real blood glucose? Or are you referring to a more long term/average a1c? (Or is there something in between that I just don't know about?)

I've been noticing how many recruiters have been reaching out to me with Ruby jobs. I try and explain that "Yes, I did Rails 2.3 and 3.x back in the day - but that was a LONG time ago". That doesn't seem to dissuade them

Same here. It was an era where the company I worked for was looking to transition to web. The web was NOWHERE near ready for a desktop-app like experience. Especially since the RAD crowd (VB, Delphi, etc) expected to drag and drop component

I toy with the idea every once in awhile. I own a M1 Mac and I actually hate it for various reasons. I've been a mac fanboi (I'm probably an even bigger Linux fanboi) for many years as I feel like I gave me so many of the things I
