Yes, the problem in the real world is that no one KNOWS they're writing a bad abstraction at the time they're writing it, otherwise they wouldn't write it. Therefore it's insufficient to say things like "avoid bad a

Nice, thanks for sharing. I love Excalidraw but tldraw [0] (which I assume is a play on "tldr"?) seems just as good if not a tiny bit better in some small ways at first glance. There's also an Obsidian plugin, though it is st

Huh? Are you sure you aren't accidentally adding a separate text box? I do this sometimes when I double-click the empty space in the center of a box intending to edit the text. I've found it's better to double-click the borde

I was unaware of Datalist, but it does not appear to work on Chrome Android, at least not really. I see the options in the keyboard [0], in the place where autocorrect suggestions appear. But that's the first time I have EVER seen that

Yeah, this is a pot/kettle situation as far as deliberate disinformation. From Wikipedia: > research ... estimated that by the end of June, 96.3% of 7,305 demonstrations involved no injuries and no property damage. However, arson, v

Rejected is definitely the OG "weird" internet video for me. I must have seen it a thousand times. There are a few phrases from it that have a permanent place in my vocabulary. My spoon is too big.

Not saying I agree with the login requirement, but ... why not just create a throwaway account just for this purpose? This seems like a silly reason to miss out on something you might enjoy.

I'm not sure I've ever read an article where so many times I thought "ok fine, but ..." only to have the next paragraph address that exact point each and every time. The ending point especially. As others here have pedan

Ender's Game was the first twist that really "got" me as a kid. Ignited my love of scifi for sure. I went to Amazon to read the description just now, and it doesn't really give anything away that isn't in the openin

Eh, I think if you put serious thought into what has been gained and what has been lost, it's hard to come to the conclusion that we should go backwards. Not saying that there is no legitimate criticism to be levied, but the nostalgia-

Writing unit tests is the most effective use of copilot hands-down. For pure functions, it is 100% correct and complete essentially 100% of the time, allowing me to write descriptive test names and nothing more. Even when mocks or spies hav

This is a great resource! I can't believe Universal Paperclips [0] [1] had not been added yet, so I submitted it. It's the game that first comes to mind when I think of "no bullshit" games. No ads or IAP. A "number

This is a great point. At a micro level, this helps articulate why rewriting/refactoring a feature just after writing the first version of it is so quick, relatively. And why it is often easier to write better code in a second pass. Th

You are correct that the thing these people are addicted to is not the chance to win real money. So in that sense it's not the same as other casinos. But the government regulates plenty of addictive things that are not "winning re
