Yeah, I have experienced something like this, and ultimately (after trying like every fucking thing, including quitting smoking (the first onset of it was 15 years ago when I still smoked), quitting alcohol, running and weightlifting during

No, because the entire point of OpenDoc was that the parts could be created by different entities.

Me too. I find the business model disgusting, even if it wasn’t Facebook. But it _is_ Facebook, one of the most profoundly unethical companies of consequence, which has caused harm across the world at immense scale. I don’t like Apple’s App

Good. I don't know the details of this case, but they don't even matter. Whether it's Facebook nuking all your Oculus Quest content because you were at a pro-democracy Hong Kong protest, or Apple remotely deleting all your mu

That, plus the fact that building your own shit, being your own boss, and making your own mark on the world is probably a lot cooler and more satisfying to most of us here than helping sell more ads or get people to watch even more TV.

That's interesting to hear, because my experience is that I really really _want_ to use Remote Desktop / Screen Sharing but the performance has gotten worse and worse over macOS releases, and it currently abysmal over gigabit, and

One approach that you can take to deal with this is to mentally back way the fuck off the 1990s on what your UI expectations are. Give up pixel-accuracy and fine-grained control of your app's UI layer, and just treat it how people like

Homicide and suicide apply to individuals. Genocide applies to a group. You don't have to kill every living member of a group to eliminate it. For example, you could just sterilize the females. Which is why that practice (along with ki

Absolutely yes, clearly, for the US eugenics programs. (I don't know much about the Australian example, so won't comment on that, other than to say that a cursory search that seems to also imply UM YES )

My take on this is there are two common meanings of 'bloated'. One means 'too many features' (without impact on performance of other features). Maybe it makes things harder to figure out (though not necessarily). But it

Oh, great point! I forgot about that app, and indeed it would have saved the day. (Ultimately, I decided I wanted at least one of my monitors landscape anyway... I realized this the first time I wanted to watch a video program, ha ha.)

One thing I recently discovered is that macOS has no capacity to deal with overflow of the "menu bar widget" area. I had rotated my 27" 5K displays to portrait mode, which I find better for coding. That made the menu bar narr

I hadn't heard of this one, so I checked their website. I found it interesting that the first bullet point (at least when I loaded the site) was: < 100ms Built for speed Synchronized in real-time ... ...No spinner

Yeah, that's right. Before we escaped JIRA, my team would often do that, too, even for regular sprints. Make a checklist in a collaborative editor tool like Google Docs or Notion, and just do the day to day work there. Then somebody wo

I think you are right: the SLOWNESS is a killer. In fact, I think it is THE show-stopper flaw. I recently succeeded in an 18-month-long effort to coordinate moving off of JIRA at work. We moved to clubhouse.io and it's been great. We w

Oh, I hadn't heard that. Well then, perhaps destroying Goodreads is just the cherry on top of a deal that made sense to Amazon for other reasons.

I am sympathetic to what you are saying, but I think it does actually make sense: destroying Goodreads and turning it into just another sales funnel was presumably why Amazon acquired it. A bunch of book reviews and book recommendations t

Good point, I'd gotten used to that and forgotten how it is kind of counterintuitive at first. Our base test helper object does this: get root() { // It is important here to run cy.get() // each time th

Yeah, "no DOM in tests" is actually a pretty good mantra. Code that is just inspecting the DOM to find elements, or to do stuff to them that is just working up to the state where you can actually test something, should be in some

I don't dispute the concept of planned obsolescence — or even fraudulent sabotage. (Looking at you, Logitech, with the 7 mouse devices we bought which (while otherwise excellent) lasted between 14 and 17 months with a 12 month warranty

Ditto. It is really easy to write re-usable code for Cypress tests in plain TypeScript/JavaScript, and just directly import the file. x.usernameField.type('Joe User'); x.passwordField.type('$ecureBR0');

I love Cypress overall, but wouldn't advocate using Cypress commands unless you are doing something weird. Their examples show using Cypress commands for pedestrian things like "log in to app" but there is no need to get all

Wow!! I pay for both Notion (it's good, thanks!) and Cypress, and have literally described Cypress this way: "Cypress is to Selenium as Notion is to Confluence"... :-O So, I am very surprised (but interested) to hear your tal

I'm not the OP, but lots of people felt like that was the moment when Keybase "jumped the shark". At first I thought it was weird and off-mission, too, but then I learned more about the particular cryptocurrency they affiliat

No, and I am sad about it. Like a lot of people, I stopped using it when the Zoom acquihire was announced. The Keybase backend was never open-sourced and there doesn't seem like a viable path forward for Keybase without the founders. A
