People who experienced a stable childhood seem to have a natural tendency to view the period they grew up in as, if not a golden age, then a safer, simpler time. Which makes sense: You’re too young to be aware of much of the complexity of t

This is often quoted advice, but like many things it’s only true in moderation. People who take it too literally come across like therapists or interviewers. Some people are not comfortable talking about themselves, and most well adjusted p

There are also getter (and setter) properties that can be backed by private fields: get name() { return this.#name; } Half of this article seems to be based on the author’s unawareness of JS class syntax.

The principle reason I've stopped using Stack Overflow much, which I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere, is that its content has become too dated. Most of my questions relate to web development — how to do something in HTML/CSS

As I said, as a developer working on a software project for your employer, you often inherit dependencies you had no say in. Nor can you force your employer to negotiate a contract with the maintainer. Don't get me wrong: I'm not

I agree with the article in general, but the wrinkle comes when you encounter a bug in a large, popular open source project (naming no names, but any of the major web frameworks for example) that you're using for a work project. Fix it

This is an exasperating article. Where is the data on who these 2.6m people are, demographically speaking, what their reasons are for not seeking work, and how they supporting themselves if they don't work? 2.6m young people not workin

Which is not an answer to the question “Was The Washington Post the tipping point where Amazon started to collapse?”, which you were responding to. I don’t eat at McDonalds, but that doesn’t make me think they’re going to collapse. In fact

While it's true that a LAB gradient will produce a more perceptually uniform gradient, it doesn't alter the article's point that sRGB isn't a colorspace. It has an associated nonlinear gamma function that is used to he

Supposedly because at the time of the acquisition, "Canyon Bridge was licensed and regulated by US law." but "Since then it has moved its headquarters to the Cayman Islands and as such is no longer a US-controlled entity.&quo

I am very excited for this. For those unaware, Ron Gilbert was the creative force behind The Secret of Monkey Island 1 and 2, but then left Lucasarts and the subsequent Monkey Island games were made by others. He's said for a long time

Yeah, I can't think of a single real app or website I've seen that uses this style. It seems instead like a single designer doing some self-promotion by inventing these new "trends". And this one seems to be inspired by

Having used Copilot for a while, I am quite certain it will replace me as a programmer. It appears to me that when it comes to language models, intelligence = experience * context. Where experience is the amount what's encoded in the

Elon Musk trying to save humanity from going extinct as a "one planet species" and in the process causing us to miss a near-Earth asteroid whose impact wipes us out would be rather ironic.

While I do think many media sources have an obvious self-interested bias against Facebook, I think Luckey is biased himself in how he portrays this affair in his tweets. He talks about how the press covered the filing of the lawsuit, but ne

If you don't want all the ports at once, then it sounds like modular ports is perfect? You can just attach whichever combination you need on any given day / moment. Or am I missing something?

It's funny how every society has its own way of mistreating children, yet never considers it a problem at the time. We look at the ways children were harmed and exploited throughout history and shake our heads at how our morally underd

I remember reading a cryptozoological theory that there could still be some mammoths left, hidden in the vastness of Siberia. Absurd, obviously, but I always thought you could make a great film about a ragtag crew searching for the last rem

Good. But nesting could and should have been added to CSS a decade ago or more, and it is an abject failure of the working group that it wasn’t, despite the obvious, overwhelming demand from authors.
