Dude, I think it's worse. Some carpenters still make a living creating high-end furniture, or straight-up art pieces. I can't quite imagine a future where a hand-crafted app will ever be a status-symbol. The people who…
I agree with all of that, but I think there's a bit of "ball-hiding" going on in most of these conversations. It isn't only that programmers crave(d) praise or social recognition (though maybe that's it for some), but…
Oh, absolutely! But, so are most of the lessons we draw from life experience, instead of, like, science. That doesn't make them unimportant to talk about, so long as we approach them - and each other - with appropriate…
Aye, and amid all of the (admittedly annoying) word salad, the "Claude" in this satire identified the reason the requested change was hard: someone(s) at some point had hijacked the button markup for other purposes.…
I'm deliberately not addressing the article as a whole, but I'd like to engage with your smaller point. My parents viewed all day care as "dumping [their] kid in an institution" and made massive sacrifices so that my…
Don't leave us hanging, brother! What's the book?
Whoa! Twenty-year+ Mac user, and I never knew that trick. Thank you for that.

Corporate death penalty. I'm on board with that.
Thanks for this. I'll give it a try, though I'm not someone who experiences much frustration with Finder, because I maintain a solid folder structure, and use Alfred (first) for virtually all file interactions. The…
I'm with you, though I do it differently. I have a git-status plug-in in my editor that shows me what directories -> files have been changed, and then which lines when I open them. Scanning the sidebar is the same as…
I understand what you mean, but I do not, at this point, think "public pressure" is sufficient. I once did, but that was before ad companies (and they're all ad companies, at their root) unlocked the full potential (if…
> your partner can abandon you at any time and leave you with the full burden and no financial support. Yes, absolutely. Or that a financially-dependent partner (I'm deliberately not applying gender), even without kids…
Yep. All I want is allow/deny permissions on particular channels. For my little guy I'd set up a blanket Deny rule, with a few channels allowed; for older kids parents might want to go the other way. All of the "parent…
I agree with much more in your comment than I don't, but > It's astonishingly easy to not get shot: don't invade someone's home. Is pat to the point of naiveté. People get shot turning into the wrong driveway[1], or…

Lol. I had the same thought: "but, but... Hemingway!" Of course, his magic lies in how much thickness he creates with such terse prose.
It's totally in earnest, and it's funny because Polonius isn't being self-deprecating: he wholeheartedly believes in brevity, when he isn't being it. At all. But, Shakespeare being Shakespeare, he's not being entirely…

I agree with everything you say, but to offer an alternative (modern) take, from an actor who takes more care with the verse: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1u8OlUS7BhU
I mean, isn't that the dream? I don't know if that's sarcasm or not. I know it doesn't work, but that's the future we've been promised, right?
Well, that sucks. Thank you for the information.

Numbers is essential, because it understands dates, better handles CSV files, and doesn't corrupt long numeric UIDs. But, you're right: Excel is for the complicated stuff. I recommend Numbers to the vast majority of…
