IMO it depends what you mean by “good programming”. An Excel spreadsheet with a bunch of VBA macros is by absolutely no means graceful programming or beautiful programming but it’s highly effective and has served as an entry to the worl

He often does. It’s quite an eye opener to watch more of his live addresses and press conferences. When you read a recap of what happened it all sounds vaguely normal and presidential. But when you watch what actually happened you realise h

I actually think it could backfire. Remote work that is thoughtfully implemented can definitely be a productivity boost, but thrown together last minute stuff like this is going to make people more wary of remote, not less.

To my mind the templating language isn't that different to JSX, <div class={classNameVariable}/> and all that. I agree that if and else statements feel a little less natural but for me it's more than worth the price o

So I guess the answer is "things are going to be bad, so why bother optimising?". I guess I can't really argue with a self-fulfilling prophecy like that. Not considering the size of a JS library because the business process i

The whole point is that you choose an arbitrary thing to treat as a dealbreaker that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. "npm install jquery" would have given you the exact same result you have, except it would have vio

The way I sometimes think about stuff like this is that it's useful in reverse: you're going to have to write optimised code that doesn't really resemble Java. But if you're in a situation where there is no GPU available

Yeah but what you’re learning is “how to not catastrophically fail your customers”. In a better company that’s a lesson you already learned. There is going to be a LOT of stress and tension, it's hardly a great learning environment.

It sounds like OP (no offence to them) is missing the context? Decoding a JPEG itself can be super fast but if laying out every element that overlaps that JPEG is slow the a progressive JPEG is still going to cause speed issues.

I’ve seen it said before that Apple is pro-privacy because it suits them from a marketing standpoint. They tried being an anti-privacy ad provider with iAds and failed at it, so this pivot helps them. A cynical read on the situation but it’

That’s covered by the first bullet the OP posted: - Your app exclusively uses your company’s own account setup and sign-in systems.

Equating “what people are concerned about” with “what people vote on” is unwise. It’s not as if we all get a direct vote on “should we tackle climate change?” But hey: “For Democrats, climate change is now one of the two most important issu

Are you just mindlessly trolling here or do you have a point? Climate change is a thing that concerns people. Waste is a thing that concerns people. Is any of this surprising?

It's tricky. Could you imagine if Apple removed Uber from the App Store? Users would be livid. And at Apple, not Uber, I suspect.

> why do people write articles about how much women's unpaid labor is worth, but not about men's? I think the article makes its case via the quote I provided. It does talk about men’s unpaid work, albeit not in as much detail.

by untog 7y ago
No one is saying that men’s unpaid work is worth nothing. The article is merely highlighting how much women’s work is worth. And let’s be clear: if your mom was at home all day Monday to Friday while your dad was at the office and then they

There are security updates, for one. Plus there are a bunch of CSS improvements and the like in the last five years. If you don’t keep up with the competition your users are going to see broken sites eventually.
