I'm not really sure I'm seeing anything that isn't the logical continuation of the move from low-level languages to higher level languages, and from lots of bespoke software to frameworks and libraries. A big pile of Zapier g

There are a few things you cannot do. In some areas of Copenhagen you can't pay for parking without an app, I'm told (but I don't drive so I don't know for sure). The biggest mobile-only thing is an app called MobilePay

I heard the two problems are that we have only one joke and it's not funny.

That feature was removed a long time ago.

The chink in their Extremely Logical armor isn't in the idea that people act in their own self interest, it's in the shallow definition of self of that is implied. I want my planet to do well.

I haven't had any alcohol since 2011. Most people don't really care, but ever so often you run into someone who is offended that you don't even want a single beer... and it is always, without failure, the kind of person who t

If the information is gone, it is gone. I'm sure you could devise a "machine learning algorithm" that'll shove some random numbers in there, though.

Your lead made a mistake there. Someone with understanding of both FE and BE is worth as much as one of each, especially when they have intimate knowledge of your actual code.

It's a per-conversation preference, as far as I remember. You only have to do it once.

I kind of understand your line of thought, but it is implicitly taking sides: if employers can just say "you're only allowed to work on X" to shut down any sort of metadiscussion about the conditions under which X is done, th

I would counter that the reason laptops don't get repaired has a lot to do with mindsets and habits. It feels easier to just get a new one. I'd say the availability of repairable laptops is a prerequisite to change. Basically Appl

Being sure and being wrong are not mutually exclusive, unfortunately.

I am also in Scandinavia, have small kids and am around a lot of parents, and I see plenty of evidence for this. I am also around a lot of nerds, and I also see plenty of reasons why young women opt out of nerdy circles.

I wouldn't be surprised if some models of iPad had sold in excess of 20 million units. I don't see how that takes anything away from the C64. It was still a pioneering product with a lasting legacy. You need to factor in that the

TBH this does sound exactly like something you'd expect to happen if you took some Javascript ninja used to moving fast and breaking things and asked them to build a car. But surely Uber has more sense than that...

But people aren't good. They would be on the ships for a long time and need to do people things, like eating and using the bathroom and not being bored. Hence cruise ships become floating cities with colossal energy usage and bad waste

Cruise ships are pretty bad, I hear.

Maybe it isn't one. I wasn't really providing advice on what the objectively optimal setup (lol) is, I was just explaining how I work. My point was just that vim keybindings are not a very big part of why I like this environment.

Depends on the environment, but a lot of print/exception-based debugging as you'd expect, or use REPLs when they're available. I do a lot of web work currently and occasionally use the debugger in Firefox. I have also used GD

To me, the key commands are only half of why I stay on Vim, and the half I'd be most willing to give up. It's as much about living on the command line and 10-15 years of having Unix a ctrl+z or tmux split-pane away. I'd like
