It's good to see an assumption I had, be validated. The assumption was that Linux would struggle to make a dent in the desktop market until it managed to make a tempting proposition for gamers. Projects like WINE tried,…
Unfortunately this is a quite common scenario in big enterprises, such as Amazon, Google and the lot. Main reason is the promotion process. Usually you need to gather evidence that you've contributed significantly to a…
Funnily enough Amazon has its own internal repo, including NPM. And it can be a pain in the ass to add anything to it, especially npm packages. So sometimes you would have to spend 5 minutes, or sometimes an hour, to…
Some people meet this with a healthy level of scepticism, which is great. However I used to work at Amazon, working on the performance evaluation and HR tools used within the company. It was a couple of years back, but…
For both there are shortcuts already available for a "command" input. For example in IntelliJ it's called "Actions" - you can use it to look up basically any command/functionality from there. I've been using Idea…
I'll try to answer this from a JS-specific perspective. As someone previously mentioned - you do get hash checks if you're using `npm ci` in your CI/CD setup. You get the resolution path as well. Which is all you need…
Also don't forget projects like Cloud9. It is literally a cloud-based IDE similar to what the author was talking about. I do agree with someone else's comment that this is lazy writing - even a little bit of…

I have a funny piece of trivia for you. The name of the project struck me as a little weird. And given how labour intensive this would be it is kind of fitting tho. Oh - inat means spite/stubborn in Serbian.
I can't stress enough how much of a bad idea this is. I was stunned when a few days ago I was looking up something on Google Maps and started seeing advertised locations/suggestions. Even though I love the product and…
This clearly shows the different priorities for Google and Mozilla, amid the current feud. Mozilla is advocating towards a free and open internet, where the web standards are not dictated by the monetization strategies…
I've worked from home (if that qualifies as remote) and was on a salary, paid directly to my back account with health, pension benefits, etc, handled by the company. Worked as a contractor for a couple of companies and…
I can see a lot of people trashing on Matrix.org or the "hacker" themselves (the hacker opened a series of issues, detailing how he managed to get in - https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/issues/created_by/m...).…
