reminds me of a blackhat presentation of a web crawler two young gentlemen introduced it as "caca", seemingly an acronym for sth, but they just couldn't help themselves and kept chuckling for next five minutes.

On one hand I'm super enthusiastic about your project. This could help battle procrastination, organize your time in a long run, bill your clients more efficiently, etc. 20 years younger, hyper productive me would kill for such product

One of my "sales pitches" is "I can find answers online, I know kung-fu". I've been using internet since '98, and I somehow developed this elusive skill of knowing how to navigate all these ads, seo farms, paid

For the last 10 years I've been advocating for manual releases. I've encountered a lot of backlash, but is it really that alien concept these days? CI/CD is cool, but between this and recent CF drama it seems we have a pretty

In EU a vendor can amend a contract but it gives the client the opportunity to breach that contract without consequences. On a smaller scale it happens on a monthly basis with telecomms - almost never with rates, but they amend privacy poli

I'm glad I'm not alone with these feeling. I was there when Macromedia took JS as their scripting language for animating GIFs. People soon started doing silly things and everyone realized it was not fit for the task. We had AS2 wh

Here in EU rent is much higher than mortgage. We have less space, cities are clutered, and many people live in apts that are smaller than your garages. The main reason why everyone is not buying is 20% down payment on your mortgage. Plus au

I've ran this simulation a number of times through my head: When I left my parents I could have bought a small, sordid 40sqm for 80k in my home town. Before I left my home town few years later a friend of mine bought an absolutely awe

This, plus the fact that if you dig deep enough into your google account you'll probably find an audio file with you saying "really? I can't play this game? Fuck you facebook, never buying your gear again" recorded from

I'm both excited and terribly disappointed. I feel like webdev ecosystem after the fall of Flash took a wrong turn and missed a huge opportunity. For whatever reason people opted for both sticking with JS and backward compatibility. I

I can't shake the feeling that this ship has sailed and only a few got to get on it while it happened. And this comes from someone who started with Flash, built actual video editing apps with it, and for the last 25 years build applica

Yes, but with a caveat. Here in Elbonia H2S costs 5 times the price of Elegoo Centauri. I know that poor people save money twice, but I think it's also responsible, if you're just treading the water, to get a decent toy and see if

As a renter I don't pay property tax, but I do pay maintancene, insurance, utility bills and whatever else can easily attached to the monthly bill. The rest is baked into the cost.

Not really. If it's viable for you then buy your first property as soon as possible and keep saving. When you want to move just buy another and rent the previous one. In most cases people will need to get a half decent job and save for

Counterpoint: buying is always better, people just can't afford it. Here where I live the minimum price for rent is monthly mortgage installement, meaning that you'll pay for rent at least as much as you'd pay for mortgage. B

Good for you, but it's not true for everyone. Here a variable rate is norm and has been since I remember. I was eyeballing a particular house with specific financing in mind just before covid started, and if I'd pull a trigger on

Wow, that's a great insight and honestly a great point for not having one. At least till they get more popular.

It's actually quite common and it's called "matrix management". Multiple people to give you orders and no one to take accountability. You'd be surprised how wide spread it is.

Yes, but as a state, if you're not happy you can impose tarrifs, play a dirty game by revoking visas to athletes or Putin's favourite actress, or use any other indirect way to show your disapproval. And use back channels to make s

In my experience this sentiment could be applied to anything. It's more about getting paid for "getting thing done" versus "working on thing". I have particular personal experience with an app that could be done wit

It is theater and it's more about sending messages to everyone else. A state can vocalize it's disapproval directly in a more direct and meaningful way using back channels and political ways, but this is more about giving a clear

Not only theory crafting during interviews but a lot of real life design is driven by what's known as resume driven development. The worst part - some of that is later presented at large conferences as successful and go-to solutions. O

SD download option is the answer. I think this whole issue shouldn't exist in the first place. I do understand that full voice over and 4k ready textures comes at a price but some devs are getting lazy and some games are just ridiculou

That's really weak argument. If it's one their website the competitors can write a simple crawler and create that catalog. And you don't have to send every single field you have in your database. Once the user selects a categ

It's funny you've mentioned that. It reminded me of the time when I joined Wikia (now Fandom) back in, I think it was 2006. One of the first things that landed on my desk was (I can't recall the context) deeplinking. And I re

SPA is not only about seamless transitions but also being able to encapsulate a lot of user journey on the client side, without the need of bothering server too much. Let me give you an example - one of my biggest gripes about web ux is the
