I don't understand. Is there a certain context you are referring to, or is this how you feel about all online advertising? I'll accept one's claim to rights to browse without advertising if it's accepted that one doesn&#

I think the more practical piece of advice is for people like zestyping to constructively offer their (valid) perspective on writing style without personalizing the criticism. I recognize however that offering such advice may be a fruitless

There are a lot of small shops that would love to help. The trick is finding one that won't fleece you or that is under-qualified. Happy to help you evaluate options if you like. I am a veteran in this line of work.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't VS Code Electron-based?

Check out: SubEthaEdit [1]. It's been around a long time, and it's a beautiful product. Caveats: it costs money (worth it IMO), and it's Mac only. [1] https://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/

Ding ding ding. That's probably my (recovering academic) number one complaint with modern academia.

Anecdotally, I'd say these aren't just mistakes he made; these are systemic problems I see with academia (I can only speak from my experience in the US). Every professor I know under age 40-45 did or does these things. Among its m

Hah! It's funny that you say that; I nearly mentioned Seinfeld in my original comment. I guess we were thinking along the same lines. It's true that it is a bit "elevatorized" but I guess I was enjoying it from my 2018 p

I can't tell if it's supposed to be a strict instrumental take on Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City" or a clever mash-up of the bridge from Joe Zawinul's "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and the former. Eithe

Yes, but before grid was available people did some funky things to build responsive grids (like using a flexbox column containing flexbox rows or using a lot of repetitive media queries).

I was able to finally start using grid in production for a new project a couple of weeks ago. It made page layout a breeze and my html and scss are so much tidier and easier to read. Flexbox still has its place as the article points out, bu

It's as secure/strong as the standards' based cryptographic method used, i.e., AES-128 or AES-256. If you're curious about the strength of FileVault, some academics published a paper detailing their analysis (spoiler: t

Fantastic article as usual. One correction: the literal for UTC 00:00:00 00:00:00 is 'allballs', not 'allsballs' as mentioned. I know this because it made me giggle when I first discovered it, and it subsequently became

PostgraphQL generates a GraphQL API from a PostgreSQL database. It won't change how your data is modeled or queried at the database level, i.e., it is NOT a graph database project like Agens, Neo4j, Cayley, etc.

This is an exaggeration. We sell and ship a complex, commercial product built with .NET Core. Our (small) team has had some frustrations as things changed along the way, but it has hardly been a dramatic, nail-biting, disaster-ridden fiasco

This sounds pretty awesome, but has it been released for public use? In my cursory pass I didn't spot anything obvious.

Congrats and good luck! One minor issue I noticed with your website: most users will expect that clicking on the page indicator in your carousel (where you feature testimonials) will trigger the appropriate content change. Nothing happens w

I think he was saying he is from the military, not that Nocturne was developed by the military. I think Nocturne was abandoned long ago. Someone forked and updated it a couple of years ago, but I don't know if it works with Sierra as-i

I get a lot of lift out of ndjson-cli (though jq is a lot more popular) for command-line JSON manipulation. I've found it incredibly powerful for scripting and piping with web/RESTful services.

Sure they may pay, and that's believable—but I stand by my statement that it won't make much money.

I agree. I would love to deploy this to production, but I have hesitated due to the mental gymnastics and concerns you mentioned.

It's a matter of value. There is nothing near 150k/mo of recurring revenue or sustainable value here. Edit: And even though it's not what I was saying, I don't know why you think that kind of thinking is 'programmer

You're talking about the CSS code. He's talking about the HTML structure needed to correctly apply it to 'front' and 'back' card elements.
