I think the issue is that the marketing is a half truth. Standard is in fact majority owned by content creators, it's just that the marketing makes you assume that the creator saying the line is the owner when that might not be exactly

I mean, when you're the one selling the gas to light that money on fire you have a vested interest in keeping it that way right? I do agree that logging and spans are very similar, but I disagree that logs are just spans because they a

For the current crop of LLM it's more that anything a human has created before, an AI can mimic.

Thanks for this. It completely escaped me and all I saw was the changelogs deprecating the very limited set of style rules I've used for years.

Yes! This is called binding in zigbee parlance. I have a couple of ikea bulbs and switches and, if memory serves me, you can bind up to 10 bulbs to a single switch.

That sounds awesome. I've dabled with something like that but only for lodash (makings sure all different flavours get aliased to a single thing) but I never went too far with all the other stuff. You wouldn't happen to have an ex

Devil's advocate here: did we consider that any such exponential back off goes out the window when users, faced with a non-working site, will just refresh the page therefor reseting the whole process?

Very much this. And when people give up it can take one of two forms: Either the person quits. Or the person resigns to giving mediocre output and coasts. Neither is good for the business and yet people keep pushing workers (not even just i

If I remember right, they were forced to sell the theme park business when they were in dire financial straights in the early 00s. While Legoland still exists, it's now a license and the parks owned by a separate company

I agree with this sentiment. I find that most developers seem to be stuck in thinking of their components as imperative. They expect to alter the state (dom) directly instead of describing the dom as a function of state (props). Because of

Wolfsburg? Doubt it. But Ingolstadt? A bit more likely. The Audi R8 shared quite a bit with one of the Lamborghini models (can't remember the name). And don't forget the SUVs

I believe they did it on this video called "Can You Trust Kurzgesagt?". They also removed a few of their older videos at the time because they had this exact issue of presenting as fact some things that were not at all certain. h

Shout out for WACUP. Just found out about it recently and was pleasantly surprised to see Doctor.O was behind it. Now there's a name I still remember from the old winamp forums. He was a developer for Winamp until the end of the AOL da

It takes less than 5 seconds to upload personal data to a server from a compromised extension. Not saying you're doing this but it was the first threat scenario that came to mind and it's not even something particularly uncommon i

Agreed and they tend to get worse with age for cheaper models since the already low contrast symbol tends to fade away with time.

It's interesting that codes for the Nintendo eShop have certain similar looking characters blocked off even in the keyboard you use to input. That way there's no question even if it's a zero or the letter O for example.

And I've spent far too much of my time in my last project explaining double entry bookkeeping to coworkers to little effect. I had to watch has they re-invented the wheel. Sadly I'm not that good point 1 (actually terrible at it).

To be fair the system already has something like that. If you complain to the Home it'll ask if you want to provide feedback and give you a few seconds to verbally explain what went wrong. I'm not sure if humans will then review t

I usually forget my shortcuts and rely heavily in tools like alfred (or the Jetbrains find action shortcut). It reduces the amount of shortcuts I need to remember. It also reduces the likelihood of shortcuts conflicting if I only need a cou

For steam at least I think the problem would just go away if Valve would allow trusted third parties to activate a key without ever revealing it to the user. Then publishers could sell on any marketplace and the key would never be visible.

Code Complete is a great book that thankfully my first boss required me to read when he hired me but I personally feel that Clean Code covers most of the same and is an easier read. Just my two cents thought.

I just created an account to thank you for making this game. I have been looking for a game just like this after reaching all the limits in Airport Tycoon ages ago. And I mean literal limits. That game had a bug where flights were limited b
