“No data” on Greenland is a perfect touch.

Stalin, too. And it was true.

Same weird non-sequiturs chain that foobar2000 author uses.

They could’ve honestly said “I don’t wanna”, and that would be the end of it.

There are penalties. They require proof of intent, however. So there are no penalties.

You can even set it up for multiple users on both deck and PS5. The tool will help you set up profiles and profile shortcuts too.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this allow one to represent virtually any resource as a mail inbox/outbox with access through a generic mail app?

I’m working with a specialized healthcare company right now, and this looks like a way to represent patient treatments data as an intuitive timeline of messages. With a local offline cache in case of outages. Security of local workstations is a weak point of course, but when is it not…

“Huh, I wonder” has been driving general scientific progress and heart failures in engineering since forever.

Federation has nothing to do with that capability. git clone exists since the beginning of git.

In the dark, with the other side obscured (or just broken), you don’t want the blinker to actively prompt you to come to a wrong conclusion.

It’s better to see a blinking light and think “I don’t see enough, gotta slow down” than see a blinking arrow and potentially not even realize it’s a turn signal.

Don’t compare someone’s highlight reel to your behind the scenes.

I once convinced someone that they are actually doing a great job by sharing my struggles and showing that they are not an impostor. They now outshine me and will go to even greater heights.

And while that one episode of dealing with burnout and impostor syndrome is a drop in the ocean of their persistence, it’s a great illustration to how misleading comparison to others is.

PS: Also, if you have ADHD, you’re nearsighted in time. That doesn’t only mean “you can’t plan well”, it means “your life looks like a hazy blob, where others see a complex scenery”. And that can be devastating when doing a comparison. Be kind to yourself, be kind to others.

I’m giggling like a kid that finally got the candy from the top drawer. It’s beautiful.

If you push tickets - software developer at best.

If you iteratively solve problems by learning, building models, and trying hard to break said models until a sufficiently robust one remains - welcome to engineering.

actual infrastructure for micromobility

Right, because Amsterdam, as we all know, is such a shithole in that regard.

You’re the obsessed one in this case.

Welcome to the world of SPAs. Where every little thing needs its own application.

Damn it, we even have HTML tags that are impossible to employ in their entirety without use of JavaScript. <dialog> is infuriating and is literally two attributes away from not needing JavaScript.

Except on Chrome. Dialog is broken on Chrome and you will have to clean up with JavaScript after chrome’s own half assed implementation.

If you’re a software engineer, you’re applying an engineering process to the field of software development. Adding a shopping cart to a blog can be a perfectly sound solution to the problem at hand.

Engineering becomes more important at scale, but scale itself doesn’t define engineering.

Sorry, but you don’t get to claim groupthink while ignoring state of Apache when Nginx got released.

Apache was a mess of modules with confusing documentation, an arsenal of foot guns, and generally a PITA to deal with. Nginx was simpler, more performant, and didn’t have the extra complexity that Apache was failing to manage.

My personal first encounter was about hosting PHP applications in a multiuser environment, and god damn was nginx a better tool.

Apache caught up in a few years, but by then people were already solving different problems. Would nginx arrive merely a year later, it would get lost to history, but it arrived exactly when everyone was fed up with Apache just the right amount.

Nowadays, when people choose a web server, they choose one they are comfortable with. With both httpds being mature, that’s the strongest objective factor to influence the choice. It’s not groupthink, it’s a consequence of concrete events.

Don’t learn Elixir to replace Ruby. Learn it to enjoy OTP and BEAM.

I would love to join a cool company that’s willing to accept a dev that can transition fast. However, most of Elixir job listings I find are gambling or crypto. And I ain’t gonna touch those.

On the other hand, if it works in Firefox, it’s likely to work everywhere else.

I use Firefox for development and then, barring some weird chrome bug, things just work everywhere.
