Like with many things related to license and copyright, this is an issue of culture. Maybe programmers should realize it's in our common interest to have some kind of group voice. Other random groups with lower stakes seem to get conce

It's easy to say in hindsight, but Reagan's attitude could easily have escalated the cold war and caused a nuclear attack. The entire debacle during the cold war was less strong and smart political leaders and more pure luck. We n

People need to be realistic about what the UN is. It's not some global authority that will deal with all issues with fairness and justice. It's pretty much a way to keep countries connected and acts as a common medium for countrie

tl;dr Try parcel I've had some really horrible experiences with webpack. When I first started with it, it was daunting. Seriously, just look at the docs, it's pages upon pages of complex behavior. Some of it fairly unintuitive. It

I hate that people use CSS Grid like this. For some reason, I see so many people reach for CSS Grid like it's the de facto solution for responsive design. This is a bad design because you're tying the child elements to the grid la

I've tried to use Hugo multiple times and absolutely hated it. It's in a very weird spot in terms of difficulty/productivity. It's got a very steep learning curve, with a lot of complexity. Things like how it resolves ce

I mean... if you have to make the decision between a bloated ui and a simple one that does something well, then the latter would be the better choice. Especially in a market like this where power users could spin up their scripts that they

I love stripe and they really do have some excellent designs, but that one screenshot is pretty awful. The contrast between the text and the rainbow image is so poor that it looks like a mistake rather than an intentional design choice.
