Totally agree. Users have the power to do what they want at the end of the day. What's annoying is when you install an app and by default you don't recognise it's icon because of theming. Or the menu text is suddenly the same

I use adoc or markdown files in a personal git repo that I host on my own AWS instance. I use gitolite to manage access to the repo and even keep a version on my phone/tablet. Works pretty well and is rather cheap.

Yeah, I see whole bunch of additional network activity, suggesting that they redownloading something.

I encourage you to watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofRxxrdQE0c Lighthearted, but surprisingly insightful. Especially the part about treachery!

I would like to know your other experiences. I'm an Indian who has suffered at the hands of Indian outsourcers and want to know what the common patterns of dishonest behaviour are.

Reminds me of a recent discussion I had on HN! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19873055 This particular response really made me chuckle: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19873801 My analogy related

It's supposed to contain all its dependencies.

I doubt it. It's a generic that anyone can manufacture and that invariably will squeeze profit margins to almost nothing. In the UK, many supermarkets sell their own brand aspirin and paracetamol for pennies, as loss leaders.

Yes, it's a similar idea. The only difference I can see is that in our library, the dependencies are automatically tracked, and there is some additional clever scheduling around when a function should be run.

We implemented a library at my company that does not use a virtual DOM, but instead captures reactive "change functions". The framework captures dependencies between the reactive "change functions" and underlying variab

As someone with a big healthcare client on Salesforce, you're not wrong. This was a massive issue for Salesforce Healthcloud users.

Quite right; my family has a few plastic "coins" that work just as well. Here in the UK, shopping carts used to take a £1 coin, which incidentally had very similar geometry to the Indian 5 rupee coin (worth about 5 pence) - that w

Not sure, but perhaps because it's not actually a pun?! At least I still don't get it.

Pun? I missed it - ELI5 please!

Well they aren't really for sale or rent either. Not sure what your point is?

Carts are free at Aldi too. You just put a coin in to release a cart, and when you return your cart, you get your coin back.

Can't remember where I read it, but a great article suggested that expensive art was often used to launder money.

So true. I felt like this in my supposedly stable investment banking job. The stability is a farce - I've seen lifers get let go abruptly in an afternoon. Ultimately, the instability drove me to set up my own business, and while it w

People litter because it's convenient. Corporations ignore litter because it's convenient. The truth is everyone plays their part in this, but it is my opinion that those that produce waste must have a plan to deal with it. For ex

Not quite, but it's a low cost convenience that makes people spend on coffee more readily. If they were made to bring their own cup to take coffee out (or some other less polluting method), I bet it would hurt sales significantly.

by osrec 7y ago
Ultimately, the responsibility lies with the corporation if they are instilling a polluting culture that benefits them. There are edge cases in this argument of course, but in my opinion, a large number of companies produce mountains of was

So when we convert Unix time to Y-m-d format, are those conversion algorithms aware of the leap seconds? Is it hard coded in there somewhere?

In my experience, most people just browse the internet.

I agree with you, but a lot of people are happy to take the money for doing nothing. Sometimes this is driven by lack of capability - if you're not good at much, not very driven but still want a great income and lifestyle, this sorta h

You should try working in an investment bank as a contractor. You need to find the right team, but a lot of them are massive collections of people doing virtually nothing but getting paid great daily rates. The trick is to look busy and wra

Even leaky abstractions can be useful, if they are taken in context. If you choose not to understand the spirit of my comment, and take its meaning literally to the point of it having no utility for you, then so be it. A significant number

I generally keep the more complex stuff in the application layer, where it's often easier to capture and change. If all the logic goes into the DB, it can be a real pain to update and maintain (especially if you're running a clust

How am I not right? I'm saying exactly that. That a PWA will be much more lightweight, compared to native apps that are unnecessarily large.

I sincerely hope the resistance Apple has put up against web apps either (a) breaks down soon, or (b) starts to negatively impact them. Their app store is just so full of bloat, which really needs to be removed sooner rather than later. I m
