The BBC and the Guardian do differ on takes, but both are very far cry from the right-leaning outlets. Both are part of the same left-leaning echo chamber in that nobody on the right trusts either source. Good luck getting a Breitbart/

Al Jazeera, Guardian, BBC, etc. are all left of center by US standards, especially the Guardian (which is way left). Some center-right outlets that are still worth reading* (and I say this as a raging leftist): The Hill, National Review, Fo

Is it true you can't adjust the output of a nuclear plant? I thought I heard something about being to slide the cooling rods from "minimal output" to "Chernobyl", but I'm not a nuclear person.

I was gonna say that this comment seemed like something from a decade ago... before I realized the article itself is from 2009 (12 years!!) Yes, all of that is true, and arguably none of it matters anymore. > At some point you browser wi

Thank you very much for this answer! That was my #1 question (why this instead of Amplify) after reading the headline and you provided an informative, succinct answer.

Sorry, but if the employees have to worry about $10 a year because of nickle-and-diming from the boss, you're either not paying them enough or your process for small reimbursements suck. Why don't the employees have enough freedom

Totally agreed... if only I could get management to listen too. If were it up to me as a dev, there would NEVER be popups/overlays. We spend forever optimizing UX before and during site design, only to have some middle manager come in

by unknown_error 5y ago
Those are very fair points. Yes, good management can make projects (and people) function more smoothly, and yes also that it can be a thankless job that only gets noticed when something goes wrong, not for all the times it goes right. For a

Thank you! I don't know why any article would discuss a map image without actually linking to it /sigh

Yeah, that's why ideally the engine itself would be open-source (which it is, though largely controlled by Google). I wish it were further controlled by a third party, kinda like ICANN or Mozilla, but that also subjects it to political

I think you're conflating diversity in skillsets with corporate hierarchies. I think the article was less about devs vs marketing vs any other dept, but rather about managers as a distinct class above all the rest, with all the decisio

Arguably the engine SHOULD be the standard. The W3C and WHATWG have never been able to reliably document, much less enforce, standards. Add in ECMAScript variances and all the other newfangled web APIs and it's a losing proposition. Th

Why SHOULDN'T phones and computers be "infantilized" the same way cars, microwaves, iPods, toasters, electricity outlets, etc. are? They're just another appliance, and 99% of people use their devices for information cons

As both a developer and a user, a lot of the software "freedoms" we have are superfluous, duplicative, and inefficient. As technology becomes more and more commoditized and 50,000 vendors all sell roughly the same thing, decision

What the open source world calls "freedom of choice", the rest of the world calls "waste of time". I'd argue it does more people more good to have a de facto standard based on a close duopoly (Google + Apple, webkit

Just type in "error 422" and a Google snippet tells you what it is. Saves 3 characters, doesn't depend on a single website, and returns a more descriptive paragraph instead of some silly image with no relevance...

I mean, let's be honest, the difference is getting blurrier and blurrier as "text editors" gain more features over time. And workflows, too, aren't that clear-cut... is it wrong for a "text editor" to include b

How does it compare to the autocomplete in IntelliJ/Webstorm/Phpstorm? The amazing autocomplete is most of what keeps me on Jetbrains, but their software is soooo slow.

You're right, it wasn't a very clear article. Kinda fluffy actually. But it did have one good point: that native English speakers often are not required to learn a second language to facilitate business, and so are less aware of t
