There are so many mid-tier companies in my mediocre city paying (for the area) absolutely stupid money and so desperate for developers that they wouldn't dare ask that much time of a promising candidate for fear of losing them to somew

I like that I can dive into pretty much any Go code and it won't be doing anything basic some way I'm not used to or can't very quickly figure out without having to look anything up. Kinda like Java in that regard, but even m

USB-A is only out of date for Apple, and if the actual connection is USB 2 or 3 (not, say, thunderbolt) there’s little reason to choose USB-C. Desktop? USB-A only. Raspberries Pi? USB-A. Older MacBook Pro? A. Every console for the last coup

Guesses: 1) not that many people have four USB-C devices they need to plug in at once (unlike USB-A), 2) it'd probably be super expensive and in some cases impossible to support all the abilities of USB-C across 4 ports, leaving only s

My wife, last week, a couple days after she gets a new Macbook Air to replace her old one that stopped working: "Wait... there are no USB ports on this thing? How the fuck am I supposed to plug anything in?! My flash drives, my camer

To be fair, the styles they chose were almost never any better than the defaults until the early 2000s or so (and even then it was hit-or-miss) by which time the dream of the web as hyperlinked documents the user could view as they pleased

Imagine: the original idea used to be you'd just supply a reasonably-marked-up document and maybe some formatting suggestions and the browser/user would pick the colors and fonts and such.

I don't think most lefty-left Westerners are also pro-China. I know in my circles going after China—however ineptly and weakly—is probably the only major thing Trump's done that any of us agree with.

Even most silent films, including those considered among the best, had inter-titles, and it'd be a lot harder to follow the plot without them. The important exceptions are almost all niche art films. They also used scoring to set mood

IKEA catches so much shit for their instructions, but everything about their assembly process is way better than other cheap crappy flatpack furniture (say, the stuff at Target) including the instructions.

Even the earlier methods required JS to be able to trigger requests not explicitly intended by the user. And at least they usually fired up a loading bar at the bottom of the browser, so you could tell shenanigans were happening. AJAX made

AJAX has been bad for the web. Letting Javascript make requests without explicit user action & vetting of whatever it's sending is basically the reason the web's so messed up and user-hostile.
