I had been feeling that way until I worked on a project that uses modern React and realized that a lot of other stuff is becoming this way. At least with Swift the compiler helps you along a lot and you can lookup most language concepts ea

Go strikes a really good balance here.

What I usually do these days is subscribe to a streaming service when I want to watch something then immediately cancel my sub. If I need to extend that it’s a couple button presses away. I generally find I do not. The only service that

Lol they should just change the name of “agile” to “brittle” and go with the slogan of “processes over people”

I’d prefer it on long press to those 5 “it’s a party” things I can send.

Sounds like a big brained term for web pages. I’d lean into that.

A lot of us get burnt by inheriting older codebases where we have to work with code by a dev(s) who’s no longer there who got over enthusiastic with a powerful feature. What’s funny is you can usually trace that code back to a language add

I’m so glad SomaFM is still around. It’s one of the last holdouts from when the internet was just a giant pool of possibilities. So much at that time was people just doing fun things because they could and while that’s still out there, mos

I’ve always been curious about this. If you are not writing out the state of the program is there some convenient way to output parts of it? The article describes adding functions and refactoring data types but if you are doing that I’d a

> Though honestly, if OP wasn't in "java land" (his phrase), I'm not sure why Clojure was even on his radar Clojure is really appealing as a language and has enough of a following that it doesn’t seem like a risky bet

The web has some pretty cool stuff to tinker with these days. WebGL in particular would give you that sense of learning you’re craving, is practical to know and IMHO has a much more pleasant feedback loop than C++.

There’s a balance to be kept. It’s definitely not good when someone spends too much time on their own trying to get things just right. On the other hand a lot of modern agile trends seem to result in a lot of folks losing site of the big p

Clojure seems like the best choice if you want to use lisp in a professional context but is a bit of a double edged sword if learning lisp for exploratory purposes. When things go wrong with Clojure you get back confusing stack traces from

It’s conflating bad habits and addiction. The advice may work for bad habits such as watching too much YouTube when you’d rather be more productive. An addiction twists the mind around where no amount of reason is going to stick without e

Lol yup. The advice here is about as practical as “just have 1 smoke a week so you can enjoy it”. A lot of people just don’t get the difference between an addiction and a bad habit.

Lol well the length of the article gives a good idea of what you are in for picking something like rust (or any other language really) over go. Every single thing in go from the tooling to the standard library is so relentlessly simple and

That, analytics and auth. Which is a shame. I can’t deal with most news sites now because I’m usually reading them on my phone. There’s just so much garbage between ads, scroll locked videos and JavaScript breaking the pages. AMP was suppo

If you’re hourly Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter are typically paid the same as overtime. Pretty sure there is (or at least used to be) something legal attached to it as we used to get time and a half when I waited tables. This was no

It was a really really good one, but I think it has more to do with the shift in business model than anything. When they initially set it up they had you rate almost any content in the world that was available and could recommend that beca

If you are wondering why you are seeing more of these it’s because apple changed their policy on this from a “no ads in notifications” policy last year. This change in policy is a net negative for users but it’s really hard for a marketing

My guess would be either stack ranking or concern about the Dead Sea effect.

A lot of large problems tend to stem from picking short term strategies. A relentless focus on quarterly profits likely causes more issues than prioritizing investors though the two are related.

I'm sure ST has ways of capturing stack traces in log files, but, casually, nobody talks about it. With smalltalk the user could send you the image in its current state which would provide a lot more context than just a stack trace a

Also take a look at “due”. It gives you the option to “snooze” task alerts. This is an extremely beneficial feature if you have memory/attention issues.
