I hope you’re being sarcastic. At heart, Slack is a chat app. Chat apps have existed for 40 years and don’t require a whole lot of data. The complex part might be displaying the data, but that’s not much different than what an RSS reader do

If you think StackOverflow needs to be “saved” you’re deathly mistaken. Just because some complain about it it doesn’t mean that it’s failing.

And South Korea has the highest rate of soju drinkers. If you’re gonna pull a statistic out of a shadowy place, at least explain its link to the question. (For the record South Koreans drink twice as much alcohol as Italians ) https:&#x2

It is because if a file is made of a hundred 1-line functions that’s not good code. The separation of concerns is likely not meaningful and it’s detrimental to the reading/understanding of the file. Why create a function that shortens&

What’s the point of reproducibility in your team but not with your users (which is by definition the most common use case)? Libraries should skip lockfiles because they are ignored by the end user and therefore any testing you do based on t

Some bad code is hard to lint automatically (e.g. if there’s a single function that all it does is arg.slice(1), no linter will catch that). I’ve found all kind of bugs just refactoring code because poor code obfuscates them. Your way of bu

If your code has 20 if else in a row I don’t care if it’s performant and has no bugs, you’ll get a change request because I don’t want to maintain that pile of garbage. There are minor code style preferences and others that affect maintaina

You’re right in having no trust in them. Recently I complained about my price increasing by a couple % once I signed up. Nobody could tell me what the problem was. It took them several messages to finally spill up that they were charging me

Are you sure it said confidential? As far as I know Airbnb has always had a field for “A private note for the owner”. This is “confidential” between you and the owner, as in “not public”, but not between you and Airbnb.

Maybe being ignored (i.e. hidden) is the malicious intent. What if the largest file on your drive has that filename and no tool can show it?

“Left behind” i.e. this API will work for USA only. Don’t be silly. The point of browser APIs is that they work for all/most, if it’s only Apple Pay and Google Pay they solve nothing.

Here's the thing: you can't have 1000 "discoverable" actions, there's no place for it. Correction: you do have 1000 discoverable actions, but you discover them in the menu bar. What you found out with this article i

I don’t think you can do 80kph in US cities either. Extra-urban EU roads allow 70 or 90 as well unless really curvy or with plenty of entrances, but in cities it’s 50 or less. I always thought that matched the US. The difference I’d say is

This is the whole point of a community. Especially if you’re sure that the answer is slightly wrong, you can definitely fix it yourself, which is the best part of StackOverflow. There’s no point in even leaving a comment like “X should be X

I didn’t upgrade: I created a new volume and installed a fresh Catalina on it. Honestly it’s been working great for me and the battery life increased (probably because my old install was… uhm… dusty)

It depends on the phrasing. If you’re just saying “me too” you’re just annoying the maintainer instead of adding a silent +1 reaction. If you add one more use case that might help the maintainer reconsider the feature, then I’d find it acce

It looks like they’re two separate functions merged under a condition. Any 2 functions can generate a “fly straight, dammit” graph. What’s the point of this?

It’s kind of surprising that anyone who works for these services for more than one day keeps working in these conditions. If you made $50 in one day and spent $40 in gas, why work again? Does Doordash pay more initially to “get them hooked?
