First do it, then do it right, then do it better. Get the ugly prototype in front of users.

I tend to agree with that one. I’ve heard it phrased “Don’t ask users what they want. They don’t know. Just give them something to work off of, because they most definitely know what they don’t want”.

But there’s a catch that I’ve seen twice now: If a feature doesn’t work correctly when you present it, users lose trust and avoid it. That could mean they use the ‘long way around’ when creating entities instead of just copy/pasting them, or that they unnecessarily refresh web pages instead of trusting the state that’s displayed to them.

Even when you tell them that their behaviour is … not optimal, they stick to it.

A few years ago Germany started to ensure that blisters are not repackaged, too.

What “‘real costs’ in running GitHub Actions” are these dipshits even talking about? All they need to do is send a message to my runner. All the rest happens on my machine. Is the “real cost” pulling the latest changes?

Because the IP holders don’t want to give out licenses in perpetuity. They want to renegotiate and increase the price.

You sound like my dad who’s upset when the gas prices changed between driving into town and out of town. “What? 6ct in 10 minutes?”

It has to change sometime. You just happened to notice it.

I feel like it would be more appropriate is regular running wore button and running as administrator was a dude casually strolling down the pavement in sweat pants.

The intention was to provide a longer version for the first step of the ladder.

function() {}

That’s an argument ad hominem. That bad person endorses this thing, therefore that thing must be bad.

Because the internet revolves around communication and communication is fostered by standardization such as consistent spelling. If you don’t want to communicate in a way people easily understand, then don’t. Pretending to adhere to the rules and then throwing a curve ball throws a lot of people off for no purpose, including me. That’s why it’s annoying.

Nice of Steam to warn you though.

My company dabbles in AI. A hardly abridged conversation with a bot I’ve read recently:

Hallo, Ich bin ein Bot. Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?
(Hi, I’m a bot. How can I help you?)

Speak English, please.

Gerne antworte ich in Englisch. Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen?
(I’m happy to speak English. How may I help you?)

Caller disconnected

Yep, AI definitely is the future.

If you’re iterating over a whole array and need the index, like in ll.15f., you can instead write

particles.forEach((particle, i) => {
  // loop body
})

There may be a performance hit (I haven’t tested it) because you’re invoking a function on each iteration. And it’s mostly a stylistic choice.

Is “syntax” a bad word now? Don’t dumb things down for students, elevate the students!

I take it it’s not pasteurized? I’ve never had milk go bad on me. But then I’m living in a country that takes food safety seriously.

Are you sure the container was sealed when you bought it?

Luckily I learned programming when I was already using the NEO layout. I couldn’t imagine typing parentheses and the like in German…

Imagine thinking about what you’re going to code beforehand. What a world we live in!
