Poor developers, making 500k/year working in perfectly safe conditions must be real tough.

I don’t think burnout is the reason for the dip in quality, Apple software has been crap for a long time on the Mac.
iOS Safari has done it for a long time, since the first Plus iPhone, as long as you use it in portrait.
The recent HN discussion about “that one npm maintainer” confirms please hold onto the most painful ideas.
There’s a smarter mechanism than that: npm already caches packages locally twice, both in node_modules and in a global location.
In reality you’re probably never going to install every dependency from scratch every day, so you’re already using either cache on every install.
What I’d like to see instead is a pre-resolution of packages done by the registry. I have a list of 30 dependencies, please resolve the tree and send it all over instead of forcing me to do a waterfall of fetches.
Users lost that fight when CSS was introduced. I wish the web was just pure content, but it’s not.
Slight correction, I had to go look: AT&T started rolling out UMTS (3G) in 2002. I already had a 3G smartphone in 2004 in Europe that could do video calls.
Fun fact: UMTS was announced in 1999 with a mind-bending 384kbps downlink speed.
There’s nothing special about v1, there’s no reason to keep a useless zero for a decade. At some point you gotta realize you’ve been using the minor version as a major so that v0.39.0 is just v39.0.
Apple recently realized the same thing when they stopped releasing 10.x versions and just did 11.0 after 20 years.
That’s what you see. Users see it differently. I’m not running random exes on my computer. Even package managers are run in containers and VMs
There's no chance if you avoid random_person1 and use known_oss_provider’s package instead. At the very least, look at the tests.
Any package with tests is guaranteed to be more correct than a never-before-run SO answer.
This is the reason.
Overall I find Booking pretty neat, once you get past all the "449 people booked this room in the last 4 seconds" bs.
Having said that, Agoda has the lowest price most of the time, so I put with their bs even more willingly.
Nonetheless, it would be interesting to see this made of paper.
Big competitor of what? There’s no popular Android phone OEM in the US. Sounds like you’re making stuff up.
DJI does not produce infrastructure pieces so it hasn’t reached the same urgency to the US, so it’s still allowed.
Data collection exists whether you pay for a service or not. Since Google does not have my CC info, Gmail is 100% free of charge, regardless of how you define data collection.
