It is not the same scale but the same issue as in article happens here. There is huge meat-processing plant next town, build from nothing in those 30 years and owner had to sell it to some big corporation since his children didn't want to take over. And that is would be management job, not crazy overworking yourself for pennies, like those examples from japan.

Last time I had resort to UA sniffing Firefox had issues with clikable horizontal/vertical lines on SVG. There was no version that supported it properly. So I should just display "Switch to Chrome" banner for Firefox users? Is it that simple?

I expected this to be about 3D modeling and default pose.

YT now shows 6 ads, for 10 minutes video, they share 50:50 with creator, who gets about 10$(+/-100% depending on viewers demographic) for 1000 views - it is nowhere close to cover the cost of Uber drive.

> use oauth with google or whatever and automatically get the name and birthdate from there

After recent story about github ban: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33917962 anything that asks for more that email is a instant 'close tab and never return' for me. And even before, there is no way I am allowing any site to access may date of birth (despite it being fake one anyway)

And going back to "autocomplete" - it looks that browsers "know better" than developers: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12374442/chrome-ignores-...

It is 2022: some JS frontend frameworks don't have `input` elements in DOM tree ( or at least it is nowhere near the place visible "inputs" are). I guess it is the result of standard elements not being customizable enough (and let's be real, there is never going be a point when available options are enough).

Literally yesterday I encountered the date picker that didn't allow to manually change the value and didn't display whole calendar properly, with days in 5 and 6 row either invisible or not reacting to selection. And when it is obligatory event date field in insurance claim system, it is hard to apply Hanlon's razor.

Almost all security issues with ES stem from their idea to keep authorization as separate, paid product (X-pack). On other other hand MongoDB had similar issues since they wanted to their product to be easy to setup and use, maybe for people scarred of pg_hba.conf.

I wanted to check if it is due to stacking (security) patches instead of just extracting whole tarballs and the first result I got from Google was: https://www.quora.com/Why-are-updates-in-Linux-much-faster-t...

Quora always had reputation for being shit but I am impressed by how terrible that page is. I mean there are only two 2 types of answers there: "Window$ is BAD" and stuff that looks like generated by GPT-3( or straight up from those infamous "recipe sites" a.k.a. SEO farms).

No, but it doesn't need one. Or looking at it in at other way - as long as it is better than Slashdot and Reddit people will keep coming anyway - and that bar is freaking low.

People keep adding whole tmp/ directories or output binaries to repositories, accidents like this stuff just happening. It is not a workflow, but for a scenario: people trying to run some test, on real service, to debug some weird issue, will temporary put credentials and forget to remove them before comiting the fix. Sure, someone probably will notice it in code review but it is too late if repo was public.

> nor are they derivative works

That isn't so obvious to me. For all intents and purposes this is no different from crack. I am not sure if DMCA is right tool but I totally understand why Microsoft wouldn't want to host it.

The part of Coursera I find valuable are tests/exams/assignments that verify what you have learnt or at least require some activity over passive watching of video.

How exactly "Let it crash" solves whole class of bugs in code, that cause the application return wrong result but complete without any errors? That is the stuff I will be writing unit/integration tests, no matter the language/platform.
