Absolutely agree. I bought a couple Hue bulbs a while back and a (somewhat) recent update to the Hue app removed the ability to control them via by watch. Completely pointless feature removal. Part of the selling point is that level of cont

The original bsnes back in the day (before higan and the modern bsnes) required quite a high end machine to run playably in accuracy mode so yeah, this all tracks.

I worked for a pair of founders that blew all their savings on the company even with an investor involved which taught me that some investors are just regular old scammers. I'm quite glad to be long out of that place. Once you're

I'll admit that I cracked up pretty good over this, and am glad that I'm not working in JS/TS every day anymore for reasons among these kinds, but I am firmly on the developer's side on this one. Github suspending the de

I worked at a startup with three employees (and six C-levels that were too busy suing former clients to sell the current product) that tried to start acting corporate at that scale. It was an atrocious experience and I'm glad I left.

Well... yeah? It would make no sense to try and do that on the frontend.

Nope. I'd much rather unionize for better wages, better conditions (that includes this topic), collective bargaining, and to wrench some of the power back to the people doing the actual work. Not every software developer is making six

Switched from regular terminal use to lazygit shortly after this was released and have never looked back. I still do more complex git stuff manually, but my usual git workflow is totally covered by lazygit.

For all that lag, I was expecting a lot more than some simple animations. And that scrolljacking is by far the worst I've ever experienced. I have to scroll three times to switch to the next section. Can't even manually drag the l
