Programmers: Stop Calling Yourselves Engineers
  • Make me

    You should stop calling yourself an engineer unless you drive a train

  • OpenAI reportedly takes aim at Chrome with new browser
  • You're a moron if you use this.

  • HSBC UK banning KDE Connect from F-Droid, and non whitelisted keyboards
  • We seriously need a way to sandbox apps, where they cant see shit outside their sandbox

  • Python is still the most popular coding language, but challengers are gaining ground
  • Not only that, but with toolchains like deno, it's almost enjoyable

    I wrote some telegram bots in deno and it's got one of the cleanest deploy chains around, just compile to an executable for the target architecture, and SCP it over. Exec is statically linked, and so it just works

  • WIRED: Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Telegram for Encrypted App SimpleX Chat.
  • But certainly not coincidental

  • I'd barely say they died. Doom Eternal is full of platforming, something a lot of reviewers winged about, and there are big undies like little kitty big city that fit the bill nicely, as well as the remake of SpongeBob Battle for bikini bottom

  • Failing Manufacturers Are Pushing the Narrative That Consoles Are Dying, Says Ex-Xbox Exec
  • It's honestly the best of both worlds. A well built and tested hardware platform with well known specs and manufacturer support, that's capable of running any third party software at the drop of a hat

  • Gearbox founder says Epic Games Store hopes were “misplaced or overly optimistic”
  • That and mysteriously disappearing thumb drives

  • Big oof: The Google Pixel Watch 3 can't be repaired, only replaced
  • These smart watches are garbage. Even Apple watches have rather short lifetimes

    My Garmin is going strong 5 years later, and I've got no incentive to upgrade

  • Is now a good time to get a Bambu?
  • Yes, but a better time was last month during the sale

  • Video of Eric Schmidt blaming remote work for Google’s woes mysteriously vanishes
  • It's Stanford. Protests are to be had against middle America, not those who actually hold power, else you might not get the network effects the school all but promises

  • Android 15 could bring the tablet taskbar to phones: Here's your first look at the 'tiny' taskbar
  • Honeycomb was a tablet only ui. Google ditched the more effective ux in a fit of unification, that I believe is significantly responsible for killing Android tablets

  • Android 15 could bring the tablet taskbar to phones: Here's your first look at the 'tiny' taskbar
  • Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

  • Prusa slicer 2.8 UI changes
  • Honestly I'd just stick to orca slicer

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • Let's not forget when they shipped a full page ad for a Disney movie into a browser update

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • And these days, privacy is basically the only appeal of Firefox. It's slower than chrome or webkit based browsers, hangs out with Safari in terms of standards support, and can't hold a candle to either other browser when it comes to battery life. Why mozilla seems determined to throw that all away is beyond me

  • Almost like using a single giant wiper is a bad idea

    Bbbbbbbut it looks cool!

  • Apple refuses to call Apple Intelligence 'AI'
  • Google has been doing on device stuff since at least the pixel 3

  • Elon Musk drops lawsuit after OpenAI published his emails | CNN Business
  • Can we just have both entities annihilate each other? Please? They're both shit

  • Samsung is sunsetting Tizen and fully ending support for the smartwatch OS
  • It's not a now thing. It's already here. My thermostat, sprinkler controller, and rice cooker all run Android

    CSS is fun again
    pdx.su CSS is fun again

    CSS has been undergoing a quiet renaissance lately. Lots of big features which previously required an external tool to use, are now native parts of the language, and its growing more and more all the time. If you haven't used CSS in a long time, for whatever reason, now is the time to take a look ag...

    Why I (generally) don't use indented syntax templates anymore
    pdx.su Why I (generally) don't use indented syntax templates anymore

    Sass, Pug, Haml, Slim, Stylus, and their friends all aim to make writing various bits of your frontend easier. And they mostly deliver on this primary promise. But they are all victims to the vagaries of open software development, and seem to have mostly fallen by the wayside. I loved using these th...

    pdx.su Tailwind, and the death of web craftsmanship

    There's a worrying trend in modern web development, where developers are throwing away decades of carefully wrought systems for a bit of perceived convenience. Tools such as Tailwind CSS seem to be spreading like wildfire, with very few people ever willing to acknowledge the regression they bring to...

    Some Elixir testing Tricks
    pdx.su Some Elixir Testing Tricks

    Testing in Elixir is pretty great. ExUnit, combined with the functional nature of Elixir, makes it very easy to test almost everything in your codebase. However, it is very easy for boilerplate to creep into your tests. Common setup patterns, similar assertions, and more can quickly make your test s...

    ExUnit is wonderful, and the functional paradigms that underpin Elixir let us write extremely complex tests in a fraction of the code that would be needed in OOP testing frameworks like RSpec.

    But it's not all wine and roses. Tests can quickly accrue tons of boilerplate and repetition.

    Using some Elixir features, you can cut down on these, and make tests even nicer to write.
