If you truly believe what you say, the solution is obvious: commit to letting users store history only on their own device, with no syncing. Not even to other devices, which I don't need 99% of the time. Local storage…
The problem of RSI isn't QWERTY, the problem is putting all your fingers on the home row. Type with your hands at an angle, and your wrists inline with your arms and palms. Problem solved.
It continues to amaze me how people go along with this. The shots don't do what was promised. For healthy kids and young people, it is absolutely counterproductive to inject them. It will cause more hospitalizations…
The one thing I would ask this person is how big and complex a system they've built like this. Because if you optimize all the slack out of a system, you have no room to manoeuvre. In this case, you need to update all…
"Let's define some new syntax for it" It never ceases to amaze that people write guides where you already need to understand the thing being explained to understand the explanation. Comment your code ffs
The worst part is default imports and the linting nazis who want you to use them. 1 file per thing is midwit code organization strategy for people with no actual sense for it.
"Summer of freedom" "Here we regain our freedom" "There will not be a 4th wave" That's what we were sold. Anyone who questioned it was called an antivax conspiracy theorist. And the worst part is, the namecallers still…
It is odd that a company so focused on diversity forces everyone to adapt to the information processing capabilities of the stupid. Or maybe not odd at all.
What's going on is that UI designers keep thinking people care more about balancing negative and positive space than seeing all the information they want. At the same time, UI customizability has gone out of fashion. So…
Funny, when this happens in the other direction it's called harassment. The guilt by association here is transparent, as is the implication that it's okay because it's hitting the "right" people, i.e. the right. Who are…
This is very cool, and ambitious, but i have one major objection: the claim that web apps are an about unidirectional data flow from a managed data store to a consuming front end. That's not the kind of apps I want to…
Funny. People being childish and mean spirited for their own petty complexes is how I would describe the response. They couldn't just let it slide. The idea that intent doesn't matter, and the most hysterical reaction…
The software on ebook readers seems awful, and the responsiveness nihil. Years of upgraded models haven't changed this. Reading PDFs was borderline impossible because in addition to being slow, my device didn't even…
You're literally doing the thing where you rephrase things to put words in his mouth. Either you are incapable of entertaining certain thoughts dispassionately, or you're on a quest to paint him with the worst brush.…
No. I don't believe for a second you enforce those rules equally anyway. Otherwise you'd have done something about the flagging years ago.
Whenever I hear this sort of second hand and third hand information, I assume it's a wild exaggeration, amplified through a whisper network. If there is something concrete to point to, with evidence, people do. In the…
Ivermectin modulates both the activity of the virus and the immune overreaction to it. Get over it.
Kinda. Many Americans run around with a notion of some kind of noble entrepreneur who provides the bounty of endless choice in consumer goods, even if it's a corporation. The fact that many different brands come from…
This self flagellation of privilege is tiresome and entirely beside the point. If this person thinks the world would be better if their job was done by a woman or a brown person, they should quit and go look for their…
Yes but they're mostly related to Muslims which means they can never be talked about openly in any sane or productive way. Because that's "racist" too.
One person's too-clever code is another person's attempt to prevent O(N^2) lines of unmaintainable noob code from being added. Problem is, I've seen people with years of experience put this crap in. When you show them…
People who think comments are a code smell have generally never had to go back to a codebase they haven't touched in 3-6 months. This cures all illusions.
The separation between documents and programs assumes we know ahead of time all the things people might want to put inside a document. The evolution of the web shows this not to be true. Is Google maps a document?…
If you've been paying attention, the opposition is highly suspicious. Everything from "it's horse medicine" to "it's misinformation" etc. And yet, nothing about actual treatments. We're just supposed to keep taking…
In Flanders, people think they speak much better English than they do. Janet and janet are pronounced differently.
