As others mentioned there were dark patterns presented as 'more correct' - there were also several stylistic choices which are entirely subjective - a major one being border radius. Yeah, it looks nice, but so do nice clean rectan

I remember learning about firsthand and secondary sources. Wikipedia is not a primary encyclopedia, its a secondary source. Just like journalism is full of individuals paid off or paid to say (or not) something (sometimes blantantly untrue)

This may not be universally true, but voice-only makes a difference, too. Audio is very low bandwidth, but for work it is usually more than adequate. Screenshare, where important, is mostly just a matter of providing small diffs over time,

Their support is also often stellar - if something breaks in a free product, get ready for some free support also (read, none, DIY). And, maybe you think fixing your IDE yourself makes you a better developer - if you are building IDEs, mayb

Could be in part bot activity. I've seen a couple other weird things rise up on here. The blogging platform for this one is interesting, if you follow the rabbit hole a bit you'll find e.g. https://herman.bearblog.dev&#

There is definitely a element to high energy music which appeals to younger crowds. Same reason clubs tend to turn music up to levels capable of causing hearing damage. I even exploited this fact as a way of staying awake a couple times whi

Good or bad, it does mean a general increase is "unique" behaviors which are taken for reasons besides "its good". Diversity is important, but it has the drawback that compatability suffers. Monoculture is no better, but

"Most of them have screens." Ha, as if. "one single person's decision tree is rather irrelevant in the long open game of average spending behaviours." Sure but collectively is what matters, you can't make such

"electronic gizmos" is not screens... I can think of quite a few electronics I spent money this year which did not include any screen device. Again, these stats are misleading, maybe dishonest. My "device" budget we&#x27

Its not just about moaning, it's about paying it forward. I'm not sure when people decided everything should be free - under a certain income sure we should be subsidized, paying for things is a way of voting for the way you want

A 1GB system should be sufficient, and apps should be less than 100MB. For games etc yes 32GB+ is fine but we went the wrong way thinking what we have is acceptable.

Agree with co-commenter, I have never seen anyone who used it for low latency apps say it was sufficient. The target market for displacing e.g. gpus is heavily geared towards low latency. It might have been OK for mobile games, but then the

Your own link states that this is primarily a division symbol, hard to take this seriously...

It's decent tech, I don't think the market was there for it, though. The problem with too many tabs wasn't primarily performance, although that was a part of it (disabling background tabs is a better optimization), it was tha

Picking screen metrics from 4-5 years ago is a pretty terrible, metric - I have maybe 14 screens but only 2 or 3 of them see active use or are hooked up to anything. My oldest (working) devices are already all closing in on or past a decade

I don't consider it normal at all. Seems like the words of an out-of-touch upper cruster. Most people make a 1k$ purchase last decades. Enthusiasts may be dropping 5-10k$ but not your average joe.

Makes me wonder if you can even build something like this, if decentralized systems must spend more time filtering junk, on a system which makes it easy to send it, it will always be too easy for malevolent actors to takedown. Unless you ca

I don't think this is a parody either, this is like saying the easiest way to format text is to use Word, then poo-ing html... Maybe to someone who only knows "modern web dev" it seems like a parody, most people don't st

I'm not sure how you are getting past the writing a python script part... Vercel looks to be some service that deploys pre-built apps (geared towards nodejs/react, hard pass).

A) few people can make money off of a ponsi scheme B) The unregulated crooks are making it so crypto either will be outlawed or regulated (e.g. central exchanges regulated), so you won't be able to scam for very much longer C) it'

After 10 billion USD goes missing you can bet it won't stay unregulated for long. But yeah it became apparent a while back that some very bad actors, speculators, had become involved in crypto, so I became inactive.

Boundaries are equally important - a set of expectations in context is fine, letting people know there is a world outside your little ego-bubble is also important, them knowing how and when to live in both is valuable.

The one who does the merge is always the one responsible... even if your code is amazing if it doesn't work with the (working) body of code that's on you, not the people who came before. Of course Steve can just commit terrible co

Actually you're both wrong, its a change tool, not a development or a product release tool. "then use tags, that's what they're for" No they're not - that's definitely a useful way of using them, but they

The implication with anything with '--force' in it, is you shouldn't be doing it without talking to someone first. Absolutely does not belong in automatic anything, anywhere.

Their UI strategy was super weird, ever used Xamarin? Let's just say it was like they hired a college grad to build it for a summer, then they built a heavy wrapper around Android UI libraries...so weird. I think they were trying to pu

100% just because they control their hardware. Not a design thing, mostly. Linux is like living in the engine room - fantastic if you love engines. Windows is like a mirror house where someone tried to renovate but left all the mirrors in,
