How about this: it's far easier to critique something than to make something better. I find that this is true with photography: my taste is so much more sophisticated than my abilities, so when I make art I am forced to be humble. Cons

Agreed. It's probably a good idea to gain some good depth in one particular language ecosystem, and JavaScript is a widely applicable choice. That said, playing with more "mind expanding" paradigms (logic programming, functio

If you put serious effort into your class projects outside of what is required ( https://thume.ca/ray-tracer-site/ ), you can certainly put that in your portfolio (that project is absolutely crazy). That said, I agree wi

I think it's a fundamental divide between people who see degrees as a way to expand your knowledge and people who see degrees as a fast track to getting a better job. Somewhere in the middle is the ultimate spot for an educational inst

Nearly all of these are supported by Firefox as well. Apple is slower at implementing Safari features, but most of the important ones work (prefers-color-scheme, for example).

Five years ago was 2015. Chrome has had multiprocess and sandboxing for a lot longer than that.

Now it runs most desktop web apps (like Google Docs) just fine, so they've obviously been making a lot of improvements. Everything that came with iOS 13 has been a huge improvement for web browsing on the iPad.

But the first few numbers went by much more slowly, right?

It seems to be a trend in software that has existed for a while to exponentially increase version numbers (see also: Firefox).

I stand corrected. The Wikipedia article shows China much higher than Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_cigarette...

Smoking is also more common (to my knowledge) in Italy. That could have something to do with it.

I'm not sure how much non-developers care about "native look and feel". In the arena of iOS apps, extremely popular ones like Snapchat, Discord, Gmail, GroupMe, and Facebook (to an extent) use non-native-looking controls and

Yeah, Google Docs isn't really intended to handle much more than 100 or so concurrent viewers. They've optimized it for "1 million simultaneous users looking at 300k documents", not "1 million simultaneous users loo

Some of those features are available with Cloud Source Repositories now too.

It’s also used for https://source.chromium.org . I now host my monorepo on Cloud Source Repositories because it has a super nice integration with the rest of their products.

Has anyone tried running a bunch of Brave instances in containers or VMs to farm the ads? I wonder if you could automate the entire process. How can they tell if you're a human?

There’s a flag for a built in reader mode on Chromium. It’s not very good, but it does work.

It sounds like they're intentionally forgoing backup power and UPSs, as well as 24/7 staffing. However, you're right that this is probably pretty optimistic.

Ebay has a positive/neutral/negative review system for sellers, right? Does that have any interesting side effects?

by snazz 7y ago
Yeah, but it includes governments and other big adversaries.

I strongly disagree. To be able to understand anything on a deeper level, you need to have the “vocabulary” to explain the higher-level concepts. Memorization is not always trivia; it’s the lowest-level foundation of all learning.

Purple makes sense. Blue and red are the colors of light that are most effectively absorbed by chlorophyll-pigmented plant leaves. Yellow would be a lot less efficient because more would reflect off the green leaves.

It really does depend on the problem domain. Go’s type system is probably easier to use for a web app backend, while Rust makes lower-level code easier and stuff involving linear algebra or anything else where a sophisticated type system is

That’s actually not a bad idea. Lots of sites do have custom fonts, so maybe it would be a good idea to still put some icon in the address bar when the site has web fonts that didn’t come with the browser.

It’s fun and sort of useful with my 6th gen regular iPad and my otherwise horribly underpowered (I’m pretending to be a 4K iMac and apparently that’s powerful enough for Sidecar, but the actual processor and its iGPU are slower than a 2015

Every TV has HDMI nowadays. VGA is pretty common on older HDTVs. I’ve seen Mini DP on a nicer recent one too.

Whoops, you’re right. That would explain why I got a resounding “no” when I searched for “right turn on red Australia”. My American ignorance at work again :)

The comma should not be there. You’re right.
