Yep. When I was playing around with Linux, it was pretty much “spend all the time in the world editing config files until things work.” It’s a much different ballgame when you can’t google your boot errors because the only thing that can co

Some fan in my (late 90s) Taurus wagon was buried behind a bunch of stuff in the engine area and while we didn’t have to take out the whole block, it was still pretty dense and a lot had to move and come out to replace it. And that’s still

Looks like they started posting sole data - not sure what FPDS is but the documents all look rendered in OSX aqua theme lol. A lot of cuts looks “sensical” at first, until you realize things like “cutting magazine subscriptions” are more li

I just moved an eslint config from a project started a little over a year ago to a fresh project and migrating the config took up way more time than I expected. The old config had options that didn’t make sense in the new config, or that we

The first two, screen wake lock and web serial have good use cases imo. I wouldn’t be surprised if some in-use assistive technology uses serial communication - think screen readers or custom input devices. Keeping the screen from locking is

Yes and…egregious doesn’t necessarily have to be a per-unit metric. A quick and poorly done google suggests close to 400 million paid 365 seats. It’s hard to know the business vs personal count so let’s halve it: that’s still $10 billion in

Doesn’t seem like it from the ones we know about, and I think that’s why we know about them. STI symptoms are typically unpleasant, painful, and when untreated potentially deadly. HSV for example is most contagious when a person is having a

Recently drove a Dodge Hornet rental and it had a slew of physical climate buttons, most of which didn’t make sense or didn’t control what I wanted. In the course of trying to just turn on the defrost from the touchscreen, I turned on the h

We are in the early stages of something like this in my org. QA has been writing tests in some form for a while, and it’s mostly been at a self-led level. We have a senior engineer per-application responsible for tooling and guidance, and t

Oh I want to be clear that I’m not defending the use of the design guide in this context - I think style guides are fine for certain things, but not necessarily desktop apps like these. I get that it’s Electron, and so in theory the same co

Users: maybe, but probably not many of them. Management absolutely cares, they have a whole design guidebook why wouldn’t they follow it?? And the drivers likely aren’t cross-platform in the sense of “the windows DLL is just dead code on a

I definitely get that - I think in settings where that richness and depth is a priority it makes sense to have images at their original color and brightness. However, charts and general imagery is probably fine to tune. An alternative would

As someone who was helping to implement GDPR for clients when it took effect, it was a nightmare. We didn’t know exactly what to do, or when, or where, or to whom. The easiest solution for a lot of the implantations was “do the most so we d

This is what we see in fascism and authoritarianism - the goal is to always make the circle smaller. You start with immutable traits (race, gender, hair color, etc) to chunk out a large part of the population, but once they’re gone, that sm

This feels like a wild take, and I haven’t seen anyone espouse the view that WFH people don’t mind upsetting others, other than you so far. I’ve seen people fervently against mandated RTO, and I understand that. I see people saying they wan
