Totally get that.. I actually don't like alt-tabbing between windows, I find it clunky.. Much like you don't like to turn your head to look at other screens.. :-) Last detail to add is that I use Powertoys FancyZones in Windo

When I want to take the next step with a new language, I usually find a popular or interesting framework/library for that language, and I do a deep dive into the codebase. Set it up for local development, then step through calls with a

I think it's down to personal preference, so obviously do what works for you! I have the triple-27" monitors @4k setup described elsewhere.. Left-side monitor is Slack and Discord, and sometimes a File explorer or other misc apps

Ah I suppose if you see an "empty pile" as still a vessel with nothing on/in it, your point stands. But a plate is its own thing, in addition to what goes on it. A "full plate" is full of what? And a full plate i

Hmmm by definition an empty pile is not a pile though, is it? So there's nothing to split? ;-)

My specific case doesn't really matter (and my examples are from some years ago and of smaller clients, not my own setup). My point was that people provision capacity ideally based on observed or expected traffic, and that crawlers can

> if you make an assertion about there being "too many" of something, it begs for someone to ask how you know this. Ah yes, the old "must challenge every statement" gambit. You must be fun at parties.

Perhaps stop and reconsider such a dismissive opinion given that "you've never had this issue before" then? Or go read up a bit more on how crawlers work in 2023. If your site is very popular and the content changes frequent

I guess I have a slightly more charitable take on this, in the sense that the Internet has an amazingly low barrier to entry for putting your content online and reaching an audience, and I think overall that's actually a great thing. S

Ok.. This feels needlessly confrontational? Sure, yes, according to me. That was implied when I posted my opinion on here, a discussion forum where we share opinions. My opinion is that the ad-supported model itself, which doesn't rel

Ehh sure, that's a take. There's still plenty (too many?) commercial websites - most that include their own YouTube channel - trying to compete for eyeballs by repackaging the same preview/review/press materials that com

Nothing! And I do use a lot of them personally. I pay for several creators on Patreon and subscribe to a few creator-owned website publications to encourage work I care about most... These are not mutually exclusive things, sorry if I imp

Yeah like I hate to say this, but do we need _that many_ sites about cameras, gadgets, games, cars, or <insert topic>? Do all those sites need to be commercial enterprises with sales teams and large editorial teams? Or could they go

Honestly, I think tools like Copilot 365 will be used less for generating copy or answering questions and more for boring yet time-intensive tasks like meeting summaries, reporting and building slides. Most people I know who work in large e

People get their company accounts compromised all the time. It's one thing to get a poorly-worded email from your CFO asking for company bank info, but it's a whole other thing to be asked over a Zoom video call by who you think i

Ehh we have enough with the nanny state, we don't need the nanny corps as well.

I feel the same way, and wonder if it's just product and UX teams justifying their existence? As a paying customer I don't appreciate being a beta tester for some random UI fiddling. Never mind that I have things forced on me like

Yeah we're in the same boat, I was somewhat excited about this at first read and then I got to "LLMs" and "OpenAI" and I just stopped reading. :-( But I'm sure others are ok with it, so that's great.

It sounds like the value they bring is the custom prompts they've written? And probably some quality-of-life wrappers around all that process?

I worked for an ISP in the late 90s and we built a call center app using IE6, SSI, XMLHttp and also IE's built in CSS classes that matched the Windows colours to essentially have a UI that looked and felt like a Windows 95 app.. It was

Hah I was hoping someone would bring this up.. We were using that XMLHTTP object as far back as 1999 (I just went to look at old source code) to load page fragments do quasi-SPA stuff before it was a thing.

Ok with a bunch of old hats here, anyone else remember Technojock's Turbo Toolkit? It was a UI and eventually object toolkit for Pascal apps and it was pretty damn cool for the time. There isn't much online about it, but everyone

This was my concern as well. Looking at the script source, it's just matching globs, so there isn't much smarts to this. I'm sure it works most of the time, but yeah.. Do JS packages need some kind of .prodignore file simil
