Oh, but how I miss those days... The repeating gif background, using transparent images to separate table cells, the MS FrontPage or Flash menu buttons, the comic sans, the colored scrollbars, the marquees, scrolling status on the bottom of

Indeed, I mentioned it in my comment. Thanks.

That's a fair trade if you don't like Go, but I love working with it, so for me it has to be something more compelling than trading safe types for actor-based functional style. Go's imperativeness never bothered me.

I am curious about Elixir, but I really can't bring myself to spend time mastering a language with dynamic types. You are removing one class of errors from your application, but at the same time inviting a new one that has been solved

Contextual logging makes structured logging even more powerful. For example, you can attach an ID to the contex of an http request when you receive it, which then gets logged in every operation that is performed for serving that request. If

The majority of times I see critical articles and news being labeled as "FUD" is in crypto scams and memestock communities, which is very telling about the state of Elon's stock. Though I must say, it's fitting.

I think we will see ads and a more limited service before we see them completely remove the free version. At least I hope so, because I can't say I get much value from it. I use ChatGPT once or twice a week, and I'm definitely not

I may be in the minority in this very diverse crowd, but yes, I would prefer that over my corporate job.

Because reality is often different from the running joke, the latter usually being an exaggeration for comedic purposes. If you constantly chase the latest and greatest frameworks, then yes, you’ll find yourself frequently rewriting your ap

Small companies are addressed indirectly in my second paragraph. Even if you have a small company or a small team, they still need full-stack experience. Documentation for frameworks like React is already very mature, so I don't think

Large companies typically have dedicated frontend teams with designers to build a user experience that feels cohesive across their products, so managing different specializations and the communication overhead is already part of their workf

By data I mean a format for data interchange, like JSON.

I also prefer the client-side approach because the separation between server and client makes more sense to me: the backend serves data, the client renders it. It is also much easier to manage state. Unless the website is extremely simple,

The problem is when IOService has edge cases. When building the mock, does it address the edge cases? When you want to find bugs by testing, the tests need to test the real world. So to work, the mock for IOService needs to model the e

I have a growing disdain for "_ considered harmful" articles. I swear I see at least one every month, and it's extremely cliche and pretentious.

Very unfortunate name for a company that wanted to expand in Brazil. In Portuguese, Koo is homophonous with the word for a**hole, so it's not a surprise it didn't stick. Not to say it wasn't humorous though. People had a lot

I find it weird because the criticism was not that Canada is bad, but that it's not exemplary in any way, as if that's a good reason to badmouth something. I don't find Slovenia exemplary in any way either, but that's no

I don't know why you have this weird hatred towards Canada (looking at your post history, it's not the first time). Especially considering that the US is far from a model country right now, and I very clearly remember when passeng

Large vehicles are hard to park and can't fit tight spaces? Who would have thunk... These monstrosities are a horrendous trend. Not only we are building cities that are completely unwalkable, but now they are also filled with tanks dri

Can't you just get a plan without data, or just turn off data and wifi? If you are only using your phone for calls and sms, and don't ever turn on your network, I'm not sure what security problems you are trying to avoid. Unl

The first issue I have with AI art is that it is self-destructive. It outcompetes and devalues artists to a point where it is virtually impossible to survive by having art as a job, but learning from artists is the only reason why it can ex

The fact that the y-axis of this graph starts at 60 instead of 0 makes it seem way worse than it actually is. We seem to be at ~70% the value pre-pandemic.

I'm not seeing this at my workplace. People are doing what they are told, and they are returning to the office. Maybe because losing a job is risky right now, given the current job market. edit: don't get me wrong, I don't wa

Option instead of nil is amazing. Imo, the biggest flaw in Go's design is having nils instead of optionals. I don't have a strong opinion on Result and Pattern matching - it seems nice, but I don't know if it adds much to the
