The major issue with this is that modern CSS is almost its own job, to the point we used to have Interface Developers at some place I’ve worked (HTML+CSS specialists). I did frontend for over a decade and eventually lost the train on CSS ch

I'm not influential enough but I'll share the recommendations I think will help people like me: struggling parents. This year I've reread The Discontented Little Baby Book. If you're getting/have a newborn, this is

Seems based off CNBC's more informative article: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/02/salesforce-ceo-confirms-4000... It does seem like Salesforce relies on Agentforce and therefore doesn't need as much

Not that I disagree, but why make that point here?

Internet, electricity, all other utilities are usually profitable. In fact, these are the ones that get privatised largely because they're profitable.

The one issue that stands out is that, by optimising for cost and time now , you might build unmaintainable messes for later . Therefore, later the cost and time goes up. EDIT: child commenter is right, my bad.

This is a classical, charming take on software developers, but we don't judge most professions that way. “It bothers me that so many cashiers don't care about the craft of service and payment point connection.” “It bothers me that

This one's getting negative reception because the optics are crap. I've ranted plenty about Apple, but ATT is a great thing and I don't see how it's “abusing market position”. Like, just don't track people across th

Okay, but wouldn't that be based on IP ranges assigned to a country? How do you mimic their modelling of threat levels? I'm not sure, really, maybe F/LOSS has an equally good solution for small businesses.

Hmm, I don't see it. The animation loads instantly for me on a cold visit. The examples were already there. I tried it in Orion and things were a bit slower, Firefox too. But still not the multi-second delay, and I'm here on a ~30

I generally agree (my post history should back my anti-neoliberalism), but I suppose eventually the postal service becomes a relic that can't operate on the same terms. At what loss should we accept a letter to be delivered? Or should

Ah, I see what you mean. But I've rejected all their “Recommendations”, so I don't see any of that anymore. It shows up once, you reject it, and it's gone. Better than ‘no but remind me tomorrow’.

Dunno, it's a comfy tagline. I never got into Ruby but it always feels to me like it's a really ergonomic and cozy language. Sure, the best friend thing is a stretch, but it's honestly a slogan. How many people land on this p

I think you might have an issue with modern frontend practices. That's okay, but there's a disproportionate amount of hate towards Ruby's redesigned page. And it looks perfectly fine. HTPP/2 parallel requests aren't

I empathise, but vacuuming is super boring. I'd give up 3 months of life to never have to vacuum again. I think…

It wouldn't work for us, plenty of entrenched competitors. In the EU? Zero direct competition. We focused on France and expanded later, France is a good enough market for some stuff. Can't imagine trying to compete in the US!

Yup, and this is the thing Apple really doesn't have to do because they make plenty of money. Enough that they never need to run ads; but certainly enough that you should never be allowed to pay to be at the top of app searches. It f

I've no need to defend Apple but I don't see this. I don't see any of those things, ever. What am I doing differently?

Yours is a fairly cynical take, if realistic. It's true that hosting a forge or code repo is fairly complex and doesn't move the needle for most businesses, but… As a CTO at a small company, I chose to self-host key infrastructure

Keeping tech fast, if my worldview holds. One reason I left frontend work before was that none of my colleagues seemed to care that we shipped MBs of code to the client. I also tire of APIs that are in the multi-second response time arena,

A major thing that holds us back and will continue to do so in B2B (coming from someone whose last startup failed): differences in language/customs/needs linked to the multitude of cultures in the region. We hired someone that cou

Are you saying trickle-down economics doesn't work? If those kids could read… what I do wonder is how tens of millions of Americans still think that it's other countries that are to blame for their poverty or struggles. Baffling.

I've almost always used the different dash types as they're meant to be used. I don't care that LLMs write like that — we have punctuation for a reason. We were also taught in Content Lab at uni to prefer short, punchy senten

Easy counter: people with children. We vacuum the dining area daily because of the kid. We also have building ventilation that is sadly unfiltered, so we have more dust than normal coming in. We don't vacuum everything daily but a robo

Sadly this is a choice outside the hands of most people, given you can't influence what services your hospital uses. I do agree we should favor local solutions, but Zivver was local until the sale.

It's done little to nothing to stop phone-based scams in European countries. It's unbelievable how many calls and SMS we get with scams, supposedly for SIM cards that require ID (Belgium and France).

Click ‘Install’ on Plasma Bigscreen page -> oops, here's a notice that you can't use it. What's the point? Why not at least suggest instructions for a dev/testing/at-your-own-risk build?

Sadly, modern Samsungs use signed Tizen and there are no roots/hacks available! Shame.

Yeah, that one must've looked super cool on paper. This McDo one can't have looked good anywhere but the price tag.
