On another post one of the dev teams said, although it’s not “finished”, a lot of the code has been merged into ff. It has already been useful. He even used the term “winding down”.

Has the op posted the Icelandic version to get it here as a new post and to make a point? Look, I’m saddened by the layoffs too. And I’m very sad the dev tools and servo teams teams in particular have been hit. And I would like to know why.

I thought it was only the dev tools and mdn people? Although looking at twitter it appears it may be more?

I’ve suffered from never-refactored codebases. And made people suffer from my refactoring. My company once decided to use dependency injection, everywhere, everywhere, and for anything. The code became a needlessly orchestrated nightmare. N

Oh lord no. They’re a pain to manage. The world needs fewer gitsubmodules.

Twitter is mob media. It is only social in the most twisted sense of the word. Rarely do you interact in a positive way.

I don't think it's only third party cookies. But all cookies if you've only visited the site once once in 24 hours. The article mentions you get redirected to a website before going to your destination, so the third-party coo

I understand: cookies are deleted every 24 hours unless you’ve visited the site before in the last 45 days. Does this mean if I visit a site twice the cookie stays but otherwise it’s gone in 24 hours?

I imagine it’s slower but is it more accurate? I tend to think one of symptoms of dyslexia is poor eye convergence. I’d love to try it on people who find it incredible difficult to read; if you’re starting from the point of an near inabilit

PHP on its own was more of a templating system plus arbitrary code when I used it. Django and ASP.NET have ORMs and templating systems. Lots of people love ORMs although I’ve found complex queries slow with a hefty object model system, to t

> I keep skipping words and going back and forth... Sounds like mild dyslexic symptoms. Have you tried reading with one eye closed? It could be mild convergence issues.

Tiktok has beaten the US competition. The soft-power dominance of the US—especially with Zoom—has taken a massive hit lately. China has outperformed the US on the global stage. The fact the US has to ban Tiktok, not outcompete, is surely a

The phrase “to forgive someone “ confuses me. If you want to accept, no longer demand anything be said or done and move on wiser—and this is your definition of forgiveness—then I can understand that. But forgiving someone implies you do,

For config file editing, nano is great. Vim's 'return me to the last location in this file'[0], however, is great when repeatedly editing large config files in this same place. Nano should try to implement it, if it hasn&#x2

Wonderful description. In brief: Unit test algorithmic code; use integration tests for everything else, i.e plumbing code.

Smaller staircases. Split your component into functions. I’ve seen some horribly large components that would be much better if split up. Google should really advise this.

"With C you can shoot your own foot. With C++ you can blow your own leg off". I feel the same is true here. The abstraction may be right at the time of writing, yet further on it often becomes not only wrong, but a massive hindran

Thank you for posting this. I rarely see anyone in tech discuss the negative sides of our success. We revel in the adrenaline that chasing numbers provides yet rarely ponder the destructive nature of achieving those numbers.

Allowing it legitimises the racist ideas. Yet racist aggressors have legitimised many horrors through victimhood.

Flash posed a threat to Apple’s walled garden. Apple wants you to download an iPhone app (and buy the iPhone for that) If all a user needs to do is open a browser tab, on any device, and have an good app-like experience they hardly need an

Because modal editing is really, really fast? And if you edit a lot of code that’s really important? I’ve used vim for ten years. I’ve always found the extensions to vim cludgy after a while. And I’ve happily hopped on to the sublime and vs

Were I to suggest two things to read/watch it would be Nand2Tetris and The Little Schemer. They not only teach the theory but teach you to apply the theory, and the movement of theory to application is crucial to me when discussing com
