Ubuntu because it requires the least amount of hack fixes to get working.

And snap has vastly simplified software installation.

That’s rather optimistic. I’m pretty sure it’s daily. Although, perhaps it’s only once a month that it gets upvoted

I think the question is flawed and so are the responses. You all wrote far too much so I cba to read

I have been meaning to ask, can Shelly be used to turn existing light switches/circuits smart? I have four separate light switched each for a single light, and I’d love a simple solution so if I turn one switch on all four lights come on.

Really? I enjoyed that show for a while but when a member of his family was kidnapped for the third time I just entirely gave up on it

Arms manufacturers would probably argue that guns are intended to be deterrent. And they shouldn’t be held liable that the cops keep executing unarmed suspects with them.

The transparency of Topics is at least an improvement. Previously you would be targeted - or rather discriminated - by highly questionable traits.

Hopefully with this move regulators will finally step in to outlaw the previous behaviour. That would be a minimal step in the right direction.

As someone who read a lot as a child I still find myself saying hyperbowl. I’d certainly heard the correct pronunciation but it wasn’t until very late that I made the connection to the word I’d learned by reading.

Yes, included in the 12 month license is the entitlement to that version forever.

12 months of uninterrupted subscription payments qualify you for receiving a perpetual fallback license.

Also worth noting that unlike every other subscription service they reward loyalty with large discounts on renewing annually.

My subscription expires in two days so this has worked out rather well for me.

What phrasing are you saying is dishonest? A quick search of proton student discount doesn’t even bring up any results from them

My mantra has always been to bring solutions not problems. Applying that to code reviews makes for a far more productive experience.

Rather than just pointing out errors in code help the developer with prompts towards the solution.

Or, if you’re too lazy to explain why something shouldn’t be done then why should another developer have to act on your criticism?

I wish this had been my experience. I pushed for so long in my last company for standards to be written, code formatters implemented and objectivity to be brought to reviews but it was always ignored.

Instead I had to endure every employee who claimed seniority (in a non hierarchical company) subjecting their opinion on style in reviews. It came up the point that I dreaded having to work with specific people because they kept triggering my PTSD with their moving target of micro management.

Only afterwards did I truly appreciate how poor a lot of their opinions were. Now one of my first questions when approaching a new project is what standards we’re following. If they look at me blank faced that’s a pretty solid red flag.

This was my experience too. At first I found code reviews to be an invaluable resource for improving my code. But I then reached a point where I’d learned everything I could from a particular reviewer.

I’d submit code that met every criteria, but the reviewer would still nit pick on tiny details that were entirely subjectective. It was no longer about the quality of code it became about the reviewer trying to put their mark on my work.

The only solution was to either ignore their nits or adopt the hairy arm technique whereby you include intentional errors for the reviewer to comment on so they feel their time had been valuable and you get away without yours being wasted.

jQuery was an essential stepping stone back when JS was lacking a ton of features that people take for granted these days.

Sure everything could have been done with Vanilla JS but it was verbose and difficult to follow. jQuery made it possible for any developer to quickly make a page dynamic

Yep. And three functions is better than one for legibility even if one would be fewer lines of code

I never understand apps like this. Surely if you’re looking for this level of feature you may as well just use a GUI?

Do you mean rel="nofollow"?

I used to see this a lot with Facebook. Every time they altered the design people would kick up a fuss and I never understood why, the new design always looked far better.

Nowadays of course I don’t use Facebook but will occasionally have to sign in to look up the details of a business or something. The design has of course changed and I can’t find a damn thing on it. So I’m finally on board with the masses.

But they aren’t getting forced to change accounts. Their service continues just under another provider.
