That's exactly me. I mean, people told me the exact same things when TROS came out. It was horrible.

Yes, I have X4. It has amazing hardware, but the activation thing is such a shame. I really wish it were illegal. And the proprietary video format. I want an open source converter but chances are unlikely.

This is why we shouldn't use passkey. The authorities (not only the US) are clearly aiming to lock down the hardware we can use. Remember, passkey has a function to restrict the freedom to choose the authenticator we want to use.

Call me crazy, but I love JSS. "Separate styles with components" never made sense to me. Styled components are much better.

When our team decides to hire a new programmer, each team member always writes a short letter, which tells the applicant why we want to hire them. How well they did in the interview, why they'd be a good fit for our team, etc, etc. I&#

No, I don't do SNS. I created it to show it to the police. Looks like "I don't have any social media" is considered to be suspicious and you are "hiding" something. At least that's true in the US. I don&

I believe the number is correct. The source from the government: https://www.mlit.go.jp/tagengo-db/common/001556845.pdf I assume you've never been there. 一ノ倉沢 is really impressive and dangerous.

I hope the guideline is clearer. "Unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." is too ambiguous.

Fair criticism, but it's not really a practical problem. Usually a linter will catch them easily, and even when junior devs ignore the warnings, you can just tell them to use "equals." The thing is that, equality is the diffi

Spring is so versatile that people use it in every way they can possibly imagine. Spring is fine IMHO if you keep it simple enough and refrain from fancy ideas. Maybe I'm just saying to keep it simple, regardless of what you use... TLD

I don't know. I started my career as a Java dev, but what made me grow as a software developer was learning Scala. I learned a lot about functional programming, algebraic data types, effects, and so on. I'd say Java is a great pro

From what I can tell, LLMs tend to hallucinate more with minor languages than with popular ones. I'm saying this as a Scala dev. I suspect most discussions about the LLM usefulness depend on the language they use. Maybe it's usefu

This comment makes me wonder, why don't those rich people make space telescopes just for fun? That's definitely what I would do. Besides, it must be a way funnier than buying Twitter.
