Another obvious issue: you can make traffic flow faster by reducing the time allotted to pedestrians. This makes walking a worse and less dignified experience. So even more people decide to drive instead of walking. Result: more traffic, mo

Yes, you should report it. I've reported several Firefox bugs and the tickets often spring to life suddenly after several years of sitting there unaddressed. It makes life much easier for the developers if you include a clean, easy-to-

Onshape is a pretty popular CAD package! We use it for robot hardware (moving away from Fusion).

Thanks for the feedback. Speaking from my personal perspective here: I find it very useful to have quick feedback cycles. I can quickly hack something together, walk downstairs and immediately run it on a real robot. Totally appreciate that

Tools do not exist in an ethical vacuum. The design of tools also encourages people to act in a certain way. If we call ourselves professional software engineers I think we should also consider the potential negative impact of what we build

> Ploito determines the employee focus using a specially developed formula, as well as tracks the attendance based on hours and work schedule (which are set separately in each employee's profile). Feels pretty invasive.

Firefox on Android does support addons (in a limited way, though you can install any addon if you _really_ want to). I wish iOS users had access to diverse rendering engines and browser addons.

Zod is great. It has some weaknesses - you can't just reuse types from external libraries; it can be verbose. There are some libraries that provide a cleaner experience (e.g. typescript-is/typia). But they rely either on code gene

This is specific to GPL-style licences. You would have to meet the terms of the GPL anyway (i.e. provide your modified source code under the same licence). The commercial licence is just an additional option for companies willing to pay to

I believe it was around the beginning of 2023. Maestro has been deprecated and no further cards will be issued from July this year, so all merchants need to start accepting other card types (Mastercard/Visa Debit) by then at the latest

I was listening to podcasts that were more radio than art long before 2014. Surely that was the origin of the medium, and Serial was notable by its being an exception rather than the rule?

I do roughly the same thing, but I prepend every filename with YYYY-MM-DD for easy searching and sorting. I am able to immediately throw away about 95% of letters, which I find takes away a real mental weight that came before from physicall

I looked at TSDX for a project and was rather put off by the fact that: * It hasn't been updated for six months * It doesn't appear to support TypeScript 4 properly[1] [1] https://github.com/formium/tsdx/
