WDYM "pain when IE was dominant"? It was anything but. For a decade macromedia had monopoly on web standards with their player and it was marvelous. Can you imagine a simple straight implementation and knowing it will work across

To me it makes a lot of sense. iPads have way more common with phones than laptops. They are more prone to damage and many people treat them like fashion accessories, promptly buying new devices upon launch even if the old one is perfectly

Well, that only speaks better of higher ups who (a) offered you a space to that and (b) didn't micro managed you into something, like vercels hate piece. Again, well played, nice fix, nice writeup.

I'll give you an example of what I'm doing with SQLite. I have an app that organizes my movie collection. I use IMDB public datasets as data source. Because versioning is hard, data changes over time (remember who directed Matrix?

You know why audiophile grade cables takes 900h of burn in? Because that's more than 30 days of return policy. If you go a therapy and all you get is talking to a wall while you're therapist is skimming through a phone, that'

Have you even read my post? I met a gal who kept silent for five visits. Five paid visits and I got no feedback at all. Silent treatment is what you call it. And when I finally confronted her about that she told me that I'm making a sc

To be devils advocate it was an intersection point between psychotherapy being socially acceptable here in my part of EU and the start of covid where a lot of people reached a breaking point. From a business perspective it's a hunting

And the problem is - after a few screw ups I've told myself - hey, maybe you don't know it all, maybe they have some secret formula you don't know about, just take it easy, lay back, don't be a smart ass, and let them ta

This. Most people do drugs or alcohol for kicks or to put the pain away, as in general, but there are a lot of people who are self medicating symptoms they are well aware and they know this "medicine" works for them. Breaking out

Imagine a world where you don't have to deal with legacy js, css and html stuff and you could opt-in for an alternative, better solution that just works on every single computer, the very same way it works on your own. Imagine you plac

The list generally oversimplifies a lot of things, but you're on point with annotations. Mandatory personal anecdote: I'm not a java guy, but I've been around java since '99, and few years ago I was moved to a strictly j

Same way as IKEA restaurants were serving decent quality food for dimes. It was business decision. People were thinking - we have a day off, we could go there and there, do some shopping, and then we go there for food, or we could go to the

side note: Amazon is a marketplace, and more and more different vendors came to that place selling cheaper, shady things. They seems to have an open door policy. It's somewhat understandable. But that same strategy got adopted in many

my take: The language is A ok. It's way better JS, and at the time it was a breath of fresh air. It was NodeJS before JS, and it was much better than node will be (I scratched out that "never"). I do recall Guido's claim

Very good question, and even if your product is better it seems like an uphill battle. devcontainers are backed by MS/VS and they have good incentive to make them work. Why you think your solution will succeed in long run and win over

wow! I used to bruteforce a bunch of indexes until EXPLAIN on queries gave satisfactory results! I actually looked for a tool where I could provide a schema and all queries to get optimal indexes but never found one that actually worked.

not really my cup of tea, but a random feedback: take a look at nand2tetris as it's really "user friendly" and, if I'm not mistaken, was even made into a game on Steam.
