Well, at least Copilot will bring some kind of "intelligence" to the party.

I really wonder who those folks copy-pasting from Stack Overflow all day are. I only rarely find pieces of code that I can copy-paste. Typically Stack Overflow only gives me an idea of how to solve something, but incorporating that idea int

The GitHub.com namespace is quite limited, though. I wonder if they had to delete or rename anyone's GitHub account or org for creating this page or if it was preserved for a long time.

But are those bad actors really that common? Typically, what I see is that developers really know what to expect from an open source project. If you can't offer them support they could walk away looking for alternative options instead

I agree with you. At least I've never been offended by anyone for not replying to issues raised in my repositories. And a few of my libraries are downloaded millions of times per week from NPM (which is not that uncommon on NPM, but st

I also was a bit confused, because I mistook this for coming from Readme.io, which is on GitHub at https://github.com/readmeio , and I thought about how the heck they convinced GitHub to add a custom design for their reposit

But you still started from scratch. With productive I meant that they can jump right in with their existing knowledge. If you learn some new tech, you might be able to solve a simple task after a short period of time. But you will still hav

What I've seen so far is that companies in general don't get better at this as they grow. They add process over process and each level makes tackling 90 percent of support requests more efficient (for them) but the more difficult

I'd also not expect it from anyone. But that's typically how new tech gets introduced. Some lead developer tries out something new in their free time and introduces it into a new product. Others don't spend free time on it, s

I've seen developers being productive with our frontend in React in a day. Additionally, this is not only about new staff. Your current team has to learn the new tech as well and many can't or don't want to spend much free ti

Because you will reduce the number of potential candidates for hiring by one or two orders of magnitude, even if it might be a technically justified choice.

I think the widget that was used is simply a really bad choice for selling anything. The obviosly correct solution would be to show the full image next to the textual description including price or maybe text as a subtitle, if there are mul

That's not really accurate. Madagascar, for example, is about twice the size of Great Britain. That's without Ireland, but still...

I appreciate that. "Idealistic bubble" was a bit harsh.

If you need to keep conversations across 2 messengers, that's at least less convenient. But noone seems to see that and everyone else around here is living in their idealistic bubble. I'm also a privacy advocate, but there are dow

More importantly, you can use the mature ecosystem around Java (tools, libraries and so on).

But how is it better for Grandma? Does she really care on her own or did you talk to her until she accepted that she cannot receive messages from you unless she uses Signal?

I think those do exist. :-)

So you want a PC monitor with a remote, right? I've always wondered why this doesn't exist.

Basically every parent quickly realizes that not setting limits is bad for their children. At least the more educated ones do.

At the same time, YouTubers get rich just by creating content. Tipping won't help that much.

I think "boring" is what we should aim for when it comes to system fonts. This way, the typeface will get out of your way and you can really focus on content. Using fonts that have a special feeling works quite well if you want to

Yes. And good UI design requires a look of work and effort to get it right. You need many skills, or a good team to do it and that's rare in FOSS.

uBlock Origin works pretty good on YouTube. I've no idea why video ads are built in a way that can be blocked quite easily.

But it's more accessible to just use the website directly in this case, right? Why would I print it just to read it through a Hololens?
