I have seen so many of these "you shouldn't do this completely normal, accepted and usual thing in $current_year because of corner case XYZ", but who is the target audience? As a developer, I don't have the authority to

I'll believe it when I see it. There are major security breaches every year, and I have never heard any company get fined or taking any responsibility. If LastPass and Okta can get away with leaking passwords, then google (or any other

Only tangentially related, but I wonder if "indexability" is even relevant anymore. Google is getting close to useless for searching, and I would bet that all of the big tech companies are racing to write better crawlers to make s

No, parent is 100% correct. Unlocking your bootloader trips SafetyNet.

I started with rpgmaker as well, and your comment made me so nostalgic. I remember downloading a game from rpgmaker.net that had a "custom battle system" implemented in it. They replaced the entire built in battle system with a cu

I think the skepticism towards internal testing is because Ubisoft is known to often release broken games that need to be patched up after release. I can't fault people for not trusting them to do internal evaluations if the public rel

My take is that we are in this situation because most hiring is done by managers and/or recruiters who have very little knowledge, or are completely clueless about programming. This leads to checkmark based recruiting where the client

Did something happen in rust that made the copy state thing work? Or was it just "huh nobody thought of this before"?

How much energy it takes to digest depends on the food and the amount, not whether it's lunch or not, no? If you get food coma because your body is lacking energy to digest lunch, you'll just get food coma after breakfast then, be

I dabbled a bit with ReasonML which has global type inference, and the error messages from the compiler became very confusing. I assume that's a big reason for not gaining more adoption.

I might be wrong on how these spam bots operate, but I assume someone (human) has to write at least a few lines of scripts tailored to the form on the website, to actually submit the spam. Adding a few more lines to also check that the subm

A legit user getting told they are banned can contact the site to try and resolve the issue on why they have been misidentified, getting shadowbanned will possibly never get resolved.

I don't understand why shadowbanning would be so effective. It's trivial for any competent spammer to check their submissions from different ip addresses, they will very quickly discover if they are shadowbanned. The risk of misid

I would love to have this, but this is very naive in the current economic climate. There is already a notion of trying to get rid of general computing devices from Apple, Google, and Microsoft. They would immediately use the opportunity to

My experience is the opposite on this. I have had my first job where Citrix was used for day-to-day tasks in 2023 September, and I would estimate the latency was around 300-400ms. It was very noticeable and frustrating, especially when codi

Reading professional material means you want to improve yourself/your craft/your knowledge, while reading social media is shown to have mostly negative effects, so obviously nobody is going to advocate the latter.

This is a really nice comment, but I find the comparison at the end so strange. You shouldn't compare reading these books to using social media, a better comparison would be: given a limited amount of time, should you read these books,

Installing LineageOS involves unlocking the bootloader and/or acquiring root, which will make several applications (mostly banking, but afaik some streaming apps as well) refuse to launch, because your phone now trips SafetyNet (which

I'm curious, why does it have to be a video? Is that a better proof in any way? Wouldn't you then say "oh we can't know if the video is actually authentic"?

Yes, initiate a call, and look at what the teams controlled audio sinks are named. They are named "skype". This was 4 months ago.

Right? Instead we will get surveillance, walled gardens, locked out devices, centralized control, pay for all this, and still have ads.
