This is cool, thanks! I myself am mostly okay with dev but I think communication is very important no matter where you are in the process. Sometimes I feel that I can't influence the product even though I care for it - but then I grow

You can say it's none of my business, but may I ask you why would you like to change?

You don't have to ban it. It will kill itself. People will realize how toxic it is, how bad it makes them feel and there will be a time when social will "fall apart". Then after a couple of years it will make a comeback and t

Look, it's already fucked. You are talking in a black room via robotic voices, all non verbal communications channels stripped - with twitter there is a harsh beep that silences you or the other speaker every fifteen seconds. Who in hi

You can't event get a list of extensions installed (from a page), but please do tell. You mean generic blocking via CSP/HSTS?

Because of access levels. You may install an extension that requires no access to anything interesting (hey it's just harmless css), but may refuse to install something that wants to read your dom. Another fun thing: user css / th

it's an attribute matcher, the fact that value is an attribute (or prop or whatever, I don't care) is just sugar

Nice job. Css had similar attacks maybe a decade ago, with link:visited (referer snooping) and image with src to a logged in site... but I like the selector trick. Extensions are a huge attack vector, but as long as one can't turn them

Technically yes. You can see it in the network panel.

my slack strategies lately: * mute everything, except my team's chat; * turn off the "is typing" feedback; * use the web version in a standalone browser (eats 200mb ram only instead of 2+gb, in srware iron at least); * mute c

Seeing how my elderly parents use the computer: you don't manage files. At all. Right click is evil, keyboard shortcuts are evil, drag and drop never occurs to them. Mom usually just reads her emails (and attachements open in the brows

Just get over it. Either JS will kill every other language or webassembly will save us. Place your bets.

And this is just CSS. As a full time frontend dev (started it back in the days of table-based designs) sometimes I look into the mirror and honestly think that I'm a hero :D From mm_mouseover and Netscape Navigator to PWAs, electron ap

It just takes one malicious ad on the payment page... and the tempation to shove ads into the face of every customer and his dog is big. Think about java updates and a certain antivirus product as a great example of insane greed :)

Same here. Also use tampermonkey where ublock origin's picker is not enough.

This sounds great, but in reality most projects became so dependent on webpack, that moving to another packager would be a time waster (at least from managemen't spoint of view - and heck, I might agree: for us it would take weeks if n

React will solve all the world's problems. If not React, then Angular. I can't wait to see the projects falling apart when in two years G/Fb comes out with The Next Big Thing.

With npm 4 things went south and never came home to us. We use macs, pcs, linux machines and nowdays we fear `npm i` like the plague. I don't care if it's the registry, the executable, the stupid packagelock.json, node-npm version

I had multiple MR and CT scans, some EEG - from all these only EEG is kinda "realtimish", isn't it? Do we have any technology in these days that can _map_ surface electrical changes to brain internals (depth data) or anything

Yep, hated perforce, but the merger is quite good. In fact so good that for a time I used it standalone on git and svn projects too. Nowdays I'm using webstorm and it's differ/merger is very very good, but ymmv.

Yep, last time I worked at a company w around 13 devs, everything had to be done "the microservice way", because all the cool guys are doing it and it is the way to go. Microservices is the new snake oil :D Now downvote me into ob
