Can confirm. I saw some fresh out of college colleagues do this in text docs. Al nice markup, but the text content was very drafty. I always sent them back to keep the format concept-y if you are tuning the text first.

This is happening at my place as well. I am a senior leader, but I find it hard to push back on this. I something looks plausible and everyone has reacted with a thumbs up (but probably only skimmed the document), when is the first one sayi

I think we have enough anecdata that users don’t like a changing interface. They like keeping things the same, mostly. So how can you keep generating disposable software on this layer? And what you mostly want to change in software, is new

The scroll hijacking on this page is horrendous. I could almost not close the page anymore on iOS because of everything going on.

Same in the Netherlands. PostNL halted all box shipments to the US last Friday. Only allowing envelopes to go through. They planned to support the new regulations before, but pulled the plug last Friday.

This reminds me of the story where Barclays had to buy bad assets from the Lehman bankruptcy because they only hid the rows of assets they did not want, but the receiver saw all the rows due to a mistake somewhere. The kind of 2% fault rate

We use it with PHP/Laravel on the server side. It just needs HTML pages and the JavaScript of Hotwire Turbo in that page. For the fancy streams and frames you need some extra headers being sent from the server, but also that is doable

It is not “companies” but individuals. But yes, there are a lot of people that are only driven by greed and power. But not all by a long shot. I believe most of society would fail if everyone was doing the maximum they could get away with.

I don’t think this is universally true. At least not here in the Netherlands, but even in visiting the US it does not feel like that everywhere. I think it is very sad the moral standards are so low. I find that even harder when mixed with

These blanked statements about monoliths are what made every junior dev think that microservices are the only solution. If you cannot make a clean monolith, I have never seen any evidence that the same team can make good microservices. It i

That sounds much better, thanks for the effort.

I did that, but sometimes it takes a short moment before Unit is started, so you need a loop to check if Unit is responding before you can send the config. In total it was around 20 lines just to load the config. It feels like doing somethi

I saw that, but I do like to make my own container. So I did roughly the same steps as they do. But it feels complicated.

I tried a setup with Nginx Unit and php-fpm inside a Docker container, but the way to load the config is so combersome I never was confident to use it in production. It feels like I am doing something wrong. Is there a way to just load a co

I like restful API’s the most. Graphql is cool if you need data combined that is not nicely available in the restful endpoints. But I think that could mostly be solved with good endpoints that help with the actual use cases. When restful en

Yes he has. I have seen multiple episodes on his YouTube[1] where he absolutely grills the whole company. He also gave them a deadline to opensource the drivers or he would stop trying to make AMD stuff work. Sorry for no direct link, but h

I use this quite a lot as well. Holding the merge button on GitHub, while thinking it through one more time. I could get used to act on press, but this is my current muscle memory after 30 years of computers.

The speculation that I heard was that Tesla saw a potential government enforcement of 1 type of connector. So they made the deals with other car makers and opened their connector so that their connector would be the open standard instead of

I would expect that most companies would be ashamed to publicly state that they sell your data to hundreds(!) of data providers and they would fix this before they had to disclose it. But nope, apparently the money is too good. And blaming

I just finished the last episode of The Talk Show podcast, where John Gruber says that Apple doesn’t hold a grudge and is only doing things because they make business sense. He said that because Apple approved Epic’s account and that they w

I got the same thing as well. It feels like it is by design.

Yeah, I thought of the same after posting. Maybe it can surface items that go around in specific groups that are being ignored by the media, but most seem to be also big in the news.

Yes, but you can switch the Wikipedia site. I am from the Netherlands and I also checked the Dutch wiki, and over there I also found some interesting articles I did not know about.

Maybe some big website refers to that page in their cookie banner?

I live in the Netherlands, probably not talked about over here. But second, I try to avoid the news. Glad I missed this one :)
