I never referred them in the sense where I made a recommendation for them or mentioned that I had asked them to apply. I just pointed them to the job. The statement that they have a connection at the workplace would still be true in the cas

Thank you! Whenever I see an extraordinarily broad claim I immediately go looking for references. Imo the article has been referenced well even if the references are mostly second hand; it repeats claims made by other articles which may als

In general I think there’s something to be said for sticking with languages that match your model of approaching a problem. DHH gave a good, albeit a bit rambly, keynote on this topic once. He compared some of the tools selection conversati

There's javascript in the back. And there's javascript in the front. Curious what you use for application development on the frontend and if you have some recommendations for that? Thanks in advance!

Just made the same comment and deleted it seeing that you already stated it. Protecting against all of these is hard and no tech is going to automatically protect for all of this on its own. Such a weird statement to make that takes away fr

But the content is present globally. We are talking about a subscription to block ads. If it’s to do with some YouTube original content, they can not distribute it here for all I care. I’ve seen that content and it’s awful. If it’s about ta

Just want to shout out a couple of things. One, it's great to see a hack project here that's been done just for the fun of it. I'm noticing a few comments questioning the "why?" around this. To me at least, it'

I mean if YouTube wants to block ad blockers, that's unfortunate, but I also understand the motivation. But here's the rub. Youtube premium is still not available globally. I had a weird workaround that I used a long time ago thro

Urgh. Did they forget the lessons of the Ballmer era that forcing choices doesn’t give more usage. It’s making sure you meet people’s choices where they are. That was the big change that seemed to be in the air when Satya took over. Not ent

Speculation: Windows 10 end of life's in 2025. It's entirely possible that by the time that year rolls around, they throw in some backwards compatibility with some asterisks around performance. Right now, Microsoft is not official

So, I recall ballmer doing really well financially at msft during his time. Ignoring stocks, revenue was up. I think profits were up. But then they missed every major trend during that time, and were looked at as creaking in the wrong direc

Windows is my daily driver. I actually like the OS but Microsoft would do well to listen to these concerns being raised consistently. They need to ask some deep questions of themselves of what they want Windows to be. This reminds me of the

To be fair, if you don't use Twitter then you are already well removed from the target demographic that might find Mastodon useful. That said, there are a lot of really useful takes on Mastodon on various topics. Politics is probably t

This extends to a lot of areas outside of physical freedom. There seems to be a lot of pressure kids face to just do well and perform from an absurdly young age. I don't think that this starts with the current generation of parents eit
