I love the idea of this! Recently I was reminiscing about a time when it was easy to unify all your chat networks into one place. With people scattered across various platforms it’s handy to have something to bring it all together to one pl

Maybe once, but it feels like content on LinkedIn is becoming more and more like a Facebook or Twitter feed. Whether it’s people arguing over general neutral bathrooms or COVID-19 vaccinations.

Other reviews for this book on Goodreads are equally high effort. It’s not uncommon to see long and insightful reviews in the Goodreads community. I’d assume good intent :)

I can definitely see the appeal of this. Even for my personal files it’s a struggle sometimes to remember the exact name or structure I gave to files, even if the broad category in my head is memorised.

The end of an era. Flash had many problems but it also enabled us all to develop rich content before browser support and cross platform compatibility was in the positive state it is today. It was a creative era of fun mini games and animate

This is going to sound weird but for one particularly old and tricky game, I had amazingly good success with ReactOS in a virtual machine. Moreso than running a virtual machine with Windows 95/98. However, I can't help but think t

Every other day I seem to read stories about accounts people have lost access to with Google and very little support to fix it. Example from the other day, I noticed someone who lost access to their YouTube account but no real support to fi

I thought it sounded like Athena. It’s the best CI/CD I’ve ever used despite its quirks. I talk fondly of it at future jobs I’ve gone to

You'd be forgiven for thinking so! It comes from Japanese, yoke (除け) meaning protection and poka (ポカ) meaning blunder, careless mistake, or error. Although it looks as if it would rhyme with joke, it's more likely to be said yoh-k

This is beautiful. Great explanations, and a really powerful interactive website. A really impressive and engaging page to pull it all together.

This ^ Perhaps it’s fairer to say a lot of my struggle so far is with a Ruby on Rails project. I’ve had less exposure to Ruby without the Rails part, and maybe it’s regrettable that’s the case. I’ve used frameworks in other languages and mo

All so incredibly relatable... thank you for sharing your experience. I have pretty much 1:1 the same struggle and it was (is?) starting to knock my confidence - wondering if I’m just a bad developer for not “getting” it. I often put off de

I’ve been trying to get into Ruby for a new job and am finding it hard. Not being designed for machines is right - a lot of the IDEs seem bad and can’t even figure out where your methods come from. I don’t know how the interpreter manages t

Only the look and feel. Meanwhile the cross platform compatibility of XC appeals to me. I never had much luck running Keepass 2 with mono whereas XC takes care of all the cross platform woes

I really love all the work that has gone in to XC but I preferred the original look and feel of Keepass 2. I feel the need to get over that and try XC again. It’s great to see it continuing to get development and new features.

Maybe not in general but the issues with Amazon isn’t limited to .com. We get all the same problems with .co.uk, so I’d be interested in reading what happened

It’s always great to have book recommendations. Does anyone have other “must read” book suggestions that have had a big impact on them?

It’s great news that the source is being released, but I get the impression this essentially means the company will end active development and put the onus on the OS community for future updates.

I’m really glad to hear someone else voice these frustrations. I’ve really tried to embrace Python and everyone tells me how great it is. I feel like a failure as a developer but I dislike it so much I quit a job, that switched to Python as

There are great points on SEO and accessibility, the latter which is sadly often an afterthought. However, the author does shoot themselves in the foot a little when the first "typical" example they offer is a div tag with an inli

Zstd is awesome. I’d love to see desktop archive software include these algorithms. There’s a fork of 7-Zip called 7-Zip ZS that includes zstd and some other algorithms and I found they performed really well for my use case, proving fairly

Reading through some of the examples in the documentation, I love the look of this. It really does feel easy to read.

This seems great in theory but I can’t help but think the phishing scam would evolve in to “your account has been hacked and your secret color discovered. Click here to login and set a new secret color.” Also, let’s suppose a database of us
