I would have thought a Bayesian machine would be able to filter out sites that looked too much like autogenerated word salad. Or just exclude all basic pages (e.g. recipe) that insist on having a table of contents. I know that when I'm

Yeah, been thinking of getting back into it again, mostly out of boredom. But I also view it as an inane and stupid task. It seems like this industry values leetcode over interviewing for breadth and depth of subject matter. We don't

Agreed. If you hire a leetcoder, you get a leetcoder. Sometimes I wonder if you just end up hiring someone who will spend over half their time on the job grinding away at LC, rather than doing the boring, mundane day-to-day work. You would

Exactly. Just because someone doesn't want to waste their time studying up for irrelevant leetcode problems doesn't mean they don't know DS&A, either. It more important to know when and why to use a certain DS to solve a

There is no shortage of devs. Companies should be more concerned about toxic gatekeeping leetcode culture, fixing the hiring process, and being honest about the positions they need filled. Most devs never have to invert a binary tree in the

I don't anticipate replacing my keyboard and mouse with a touchscreen for doing software development work. If it was measurable, I would guess that productivity plummeted for most companies that replaced the traditional computer/m

Looks good, but it might help to put the name of the restaurant in the infobox. Right now, it just shows the address.

Right on. Hopefully this feature is added to Vivaldi Mobile, too.

I noticed with my Win 10 4k machines is that if I set the scaling to something like 125%, the mouse tracking feels off. I'd probably be better off with a 1080p screen. The only time 4k is ever useful is on my larger monitor.

Dell XPSs are so so. I would take that over HP or Lenovo. I might give frame.work a try when it's time to upgrade my laptop.

The Linux desktop has been pretty good for over ten years now. The real trend is that the Windows desktop has declined rapidly since Win 7. I switched over from vanilla Ubuntu to Xubuntu recently. Wished I had done so earlier. XFCE is proba

It was pretty good a few months ago, but I've noticed more and more SEO spam in the results. They also started using dark patterns in the UI. For instance, some search results will bring up an obnoxious popup asking to enable location

Reddit, too. I kind of miss forums being the place where most discussion took place.

God, I hope so. I've been going back to Robo3T lately. Sure, it has it's own UI/UX issues, but it doesn't feel like I'm fighting the tool all the time on really basic UI/UX stuff. And it loads up in less than a

The Azure Portal is the next level of hell for users who need a responsive, out-of-the-way interface to do their work. There is a trend to make UIs more and more noisy every release, to the point where you have to be engaged on everything.

It's not just VS, either. Every app has to have some attention-stealing, display obstruction mouseover. And it just seems to get worse and worse every year. So much noise for almost zero value. IIRC, in one of more recent versions of V
