So what does action look like? Half the country voted for this, we can't act surprised this is happening. We heard Trump's words loud and clear and half the country pretended to not listen or not care because "the liberals we

This is my biggest gripe at the moment. I can't find any information on which brands contained which amount of containments.

Hey, I'm not sure you'll see this but I wanted to let you know that I added a color blind assist mode based on another comment's suggestion of adding patterns/textures to the tiles. In the top-right corner is a hamburger

Well in elementary school they'll be teaching my daughter that blue and yellow make green and red and blue make purple. Not sure how I could help the techies here :)

I really appreciate this suggestion. I also had a friend hung up on the directional concept. I'll look to fix that with a gentler tutorial possible. Thanks for trying it out!

I'm really sorry about the color problems, my wife also has some color issues that I was trying to work around. I think having a high contrast mode is something I can add. Thanks for trying it out, really appreciate you letting me know

Yes, agreed. But do you know how rare good CTOs are? I do, because I've consulted for more companies without a good one than worked at companies with a good one. A good CTO is like a good CEO. They have to be involved in the nitty-grit

This is why I get paid top dollar as a consultant ;) When a company's top engineers decide to rewrite their stack in JavaScript, I get to swoop in, take $10k and tell them their old PHP monolith was just fine. Long live idiots, for I&#

Same, tried it, hated their crypto push and ads, uninstalled and never looked back. I'll never use Brave because of their stupid default decisions like putting a "tip" button under each Tweet or random news articles. Such a s

Granted, PayPal hasn't made the world an objectively worse place, just for developers.

Just because you read it in an old book doesn't mean people practice it. Any real world experience outside a Fortune 500 will inform you that.

Croteam did wonders with that engine, truly a beautiful looking game inside and out. Shaders are one of those topics that you can easily get lost in. It was one of my more recent "you don't know what you don't know" topi

I wasn't really talking about Buf at scale but rather how gRPC is just a buzzword technology that companies get sucked into adopting for the sake of "scale". I've yet to see gRPC used in a way that makes sense - it'

With all respect, I hope you don't have a lot of capital locked in this. Who is this company targeting? Google? My company uses gRPC and it's an absolute nightmare but not so much to the point where we'd use a company like th

I absolutely love this idea, I hope it bears well for you all. Services like BlueApron, etc have way too much plastic waste, giving people a similar experience while letting them do the shopping (or not, I like the instacart integration) is

You missed the point tremendously. I didn't/shouldn't care that Geocities went down. Who would? Back in the day I had a page on my site dedicated to how much I loved the Mets. Putting anything like that on IPFS or whatever is

The original web was building something because you wanted to. It was about staking claim in a space online, your own space, where people could visit (or not) and it was all yours. Geocities and YTMND taught so many kids HTML where they cou

I agree but I'll counterpoint for just a moment. A lot of mature PHP engineers seem to be from Europe, or rather non-American. I'm often finding it's American salaries that are crazyyyy high, but factor in that health insuran

Hiring developers is rarely considered as well. I can hire a top-notch PHP engineer for half of what a mid-level JS engineer would be asking. It's not that PHP engineers are less qualified than JS. I think bootcamps shifted the market

This uses a proprietary service as the "scalable chat app" part. I can't help but think that calling this an "open-source [..] scalable chat app" is somewhat misleading.

Not only shipping things faster but testing faster, scaffolding faster, debugging faster ... the tooling for PHP is much more mature than it was 6-years ago and there are so many GOOD packages out there that haven't been forked and cop

I'm using Laravel/PHP for a new project and it's been a joy . A true joy. After spending the last 6+ years writing backend services in Node, PHP feels like a breath of fresh air. No restarting the server, no compiling errors
