I completely agree with you, and that is an amazing quote.

Premature abstraction is one of the worst pitfalls when writing software. It's paid for up front, it costs developer time to understand and work with, it adds complexity (tech debt), increases likeliness of bugs, and increases refactor

Not who you're responding to, but I'm not a huge fan of vibe coding for 2 reasons: I don't want to use crappy software, and I don't want to inherit crappy software.

Your second example of a choice is a consequence of a choice. Those companies chose not to comply with new reporting rules which resulted in having their Pentagon access revoked. This is an important distinction when given "choices&quo

This may be the "cell phones in public" stage, but society has completely failed to adapt well to ubiquitous cell phone usage. There are many new psychological and behavioral issues associated with cell phone usage.

It provides a perverse incentive for those running prisons (usually the government but also private owners) to put more people in prison for their slave labor.

Rectangle is amazing and I highly recommend it, but it's a window manager and not a display manager.

I'd call your ISP, because mine is not small and offers "business" class service which costs the same as residential, reserves a static ip, and slightly boosts uplink speeds.

I think it's whatever their company pays for! If this hard hat means lower insurance costs for the company then it's just a math problem.

None of them, since they basically all copied Netflix! The grid view limits users to slowly looking over limited categories of content. Any list based tree structure would be better in my opinion.

I never felt like this was too terrible... NSString* result = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", @"Hello", @"World"];

There are book binders that will do one offs, and the binding will probably be better than the original if you get it sowed & glued correctly!

Could this be because every privacy relevant permission, except internet access, now requires a manual approval dialog? Why list every permission when it's only used for specific feature X which is requested upon usage?

I believe that it not only increases engagement, but also increases likelihood to click ads and buy things. People seem to like to shop as a distraction / coping mechanism. I have no evidence of this but I have thought quite a bit abou

It never occurred to me that loop unrolling could end up being a de-optimization due to compiler optimizations!

My first guess would be for some large environmental tax write-off.

Yep, afaik if allocation of memory for the object fails it's canonical to immediately return nil.

Huge agreement to keeping up with the iOS and arbitrary app update requirements. My personal projects are in a place that releasing even minor updates is an endeavor I just don't have time for anymore.

Unknowingly, I've trained my friends and family to assume they aren't going to get an answer immediately. They now text to call when I have time. Or they immediately get to the point: "wanna go riding tomorrow" instead o

Yes, iOS and Android developer here. Switched my daily driver from iPhone to a Pixel 3a. Difference is negligible in everything except for cost.

#3 is very true, but where is the line? If your website crashes on every request, then it's clearly not ready. If it crashes only on Thursdays when Carl uploads that one spreadsheet, it depends how important Carl's spreadsheet is.

Roll a tennis ball under your foot multiple times per day. It feels amazing and completely cured my plantar fasciitis within a few weeks.

This is how technical screens are done, as a conversation. Cheating happens, but it's blatantly obvious.

As a part-time tennis pro. The combined benefits of watching the best in the world and then comparing it to a video of yourself playing is tremendous for most people.

Right, the average programmer probably should, or already is, depending on some existing abstraction to optimizes writes based on storage medium.

Mine shut off on a hot day. Tons of condensation was getting into the blower. Three part fix: replace shorted door switch, install drain barb for intake, blow out debris in tubes.

I'd say lower guitar skill ranges (me) get an improved sound from modern digital effects and tools. As the skill gets higher, those effects, especially high compression, mask your style and desired end sound.

This absolutely happened. My parents, who have never heard nor cared about NN, had both their emails used by bots posting anti-NN comments. It was blatantly obvious to anyone who didn't have a stake in killing NN.
