On one hand I've been using almost the exact statement 25 years ago in my Flash (ecmascript) tutorials to narrow down the point of operator precedence. I still believe it's a good piece on your powerpoint if you want to teach. It&

No idea why is this getting downvoted. I literally went to an Apple Store the other day after every influencer released their video on yt claiming that it's a great computer, you just have to install the pad in less than 3 minutes and

It's easy to stop drinking when you do it socially. There are many people who would consciously love to stop drinking but can't find alternative to stop the storm in their heads. This could be caused by many things, from trauma to

We do. The issue is almost always feature management. Back in the days I was making Flash games, usually a 3-5 weeks job, with no real QA, and the project was live for 3-5 months. Every time I was ahead of schedule someone came with a brill

>> It would be insane to code anything by hand these days. I strongly disagree, but it made me chuckle a bit, thinking about labeling software as "handmade" or marketing software house as "artisanal".

Have you read my post? Let say I am a junior SWE in EU. I incorporate in Estonia and issue my employer with an invoice from said company. That company pays for my house, my car, my dental service and whatnot, and what's left I take as

You're not wrong, but you're missing the best part. Estonian company does not pay taxes (*). As long as the money stays within the company he's golden. The company can pay for his car, his apartment/office, etc. It is on

Reminds me of Adobe Gripes ( https://www.tumblr.com/adobegripes ). When Adobe suite was de facto standard for designing and coding interfaces (you know, Flash) their own software was so immensely bad that there was enough mat

It's a PR ploy. It sounds better than X done in C, mainly because the X has been done countless times in C by now, while "Hello World, but in Rust" still felt sexy three years ago.

One does not simply write an app in Rust in silence. It is customary to announce the fact so that the astrologers can proclaim that the population of recruiters on linkedin has increased.

It's more about freezers than fridges. Less frequent access and ton more work to get the temps back. I never thought about it but it was such an a-ha moment for me when I recently learned about it that I'm genuinely flabbergasted

If you're still looking for a name let me suggest "hyper text". It embodies the whole idea of having data, code and presentation at the same place. If you're open for contributions I already have an idea for cascading st

There's a huge difference between "making a game" and "shipping a game". If journey is more important to you than the destination then developing games without an engine can be a great adventure. But if you bank on

I'm really torn on this one. I remember the internet from '99. Before facebook, before messangers. People were communicating via usenet mailing groups - think online forum but via email - and it was quite common that they were not

World did nothing (meaningful) for Gaza. It's hard to believe anyone will be willing to act against China which is much more powerful than Israel. It was easy to turn the blind eye on Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, etc.

It's a chicken and an egg problem. Sure, you can skip using frameworks and let AI write them directly for you, because that's what they are trained on - these framework you think you're omitting. Now the issue is - if we play

It is absolutely infuriating that Flash, ActionScript and ES4 draft were completely erased from history. I was there since '00. It all started with Macromedia and their animation tool. They had an idea to add simple scripting so you ad
