I'm suspicious of video #4 being the reason. There is a wave of people copying other people's music, claiming as their own and then sending claims to the original video. Maybe since your channel is small, Youtube decided to just b

This is not a fair comparison. IE had several non-standard features and different implementations of standards. Developing in older versions of IE was almost a guarantee that it would be broken in all other browsers, even when you didn&#x27

You're reaching and you're constantly misrepresenting and replying to exaggerated interpretations of my views. Unpaid OSS maintainer work is nothing like startup work or a similar to the issues in antiwork. The boundaries are much

> just keeps cranking out new frameworks only to drop them soon after I agree with the first part, but IMO the situation would be better if they actually dropped frameworks instead of having them all in a limbo state.

Bullshit. I utterly and completely disagree that the boundaries I mention are hard to implement. I will also say that boundaries and limits are not only healthy, they are absolutely necessary for long-term, large-scale, open source projec

by ratww 5y ago
The answer is not to close open source projects, but establish healthy boundaries between your audience and yourself. And no, you don't have to be healthy to establish those boundaries, but you do need these boundaries if you want to b

No, the magic word is "healthy". I said "healthy, acceptable, middle ground". This means learning to say "no" or at least "later, when I have the time". I have maintained open-source projects myself f

Yes. It's quite simple. There's absolutely no need from maintainers to "rush" to do anything, just do it in a comfortable timeline. And no, this is not equivalent to giving people the finger. Only dishonest people would

So true. I don't think it's a surprise for anyone that developers experienced in web technology find it easier to make apps using the thing they're experienced with. In a parallel universe, a junior dev who only learned Qt wo

I completely disagree with this take. The process of making GUI programs used to be very straightforward. If anything, in the last 10 years, Microsoft has improved the CLI experience by leaps and bounds, while at the same time it made makin

The usage of utility classes only become an issue if you have unnecessary duplication of components. Say, two buttons that should be the same but are implemented in different places. IMO one of the interesting parts of functional CSS is tha

What is ambiguous cp? Where the age of the person is ambiguous? Or where the nature of the picture is ambiguous? EDIT: Downvoters, I'm not doubting or implying it does or doesn't exist, I'm just asking what it is.

At this point I believe they'll use any excuse not to refund you. Had you stayed they would have asked the question above.

I still use their UI but I just call the hotels directly. When I can't find anything, I use AirBnB.

For me, in the end I disputed the charge with my credit card and they sided with me when I send pictures of the hotel. The single collective bathroom (yes) had no locks on the door (yes).

"Ok they already ordered, but if you buy now we're gonna cancel their order because we like you better!"

Oh, I wonder if we went to the same place. Exact same experience. The funny part is that you can cancel before arriving, but if you're set to stay multiple days, you can't cancel the other days. Might as well make N reservations i

Booking.com is a terrible company in pretty much every regard. I've had a reservation to a hotel that was pretty full according to the website scare tactics, but when I got there I was the only person to come in weeks. Also, their supp

Once again you are putting words into my mouth. I never said that worrying about edge cases is wrong, nor that discussing them was. The sport of claiming that they aren't handled when they actually are, however, is a pet peeve of mine.

You're right. Sorry about that, but it angers me when people put words in my mouth.

Where am I advocating for anything? Please don't put words in my mouth. What I am complaining about is people immediately jumping to completely dismiss the discussed laws and even the need for them just because the posters assume they
