What's the death count at those events though? Did any of them require major construction to restore the damage done to critical public infrastructure?

IMO the back is easily the worst possible place for the sensor out of the 3. It's natural yes, but only accessible when you're holding the phone normally. Completely blocked when the device is laying on its back, awkward at best when it's mounted. Also not very accessible while holding the phone sideways.

The side is a little bit better. Natural enough to use while holding the thing normally, can still be operated otherwise if a bit awkwardly. Can use all 5 of your fingers.

Front is easily the best. Basically guaranteed to be accessible in any situation where you need to unlock the screen. Very natural to touch for the thumb while holding the phone normally, easy to use with any other finger while it's not in your hands. Doesn't require any extra holes or gaps in the case, if it's a modern in-screen sensor, which are more than fast and accurate enough these days.

1965 chateau de Castrol. Very good harvest, that year.

All sounds are short clicks that just repeat rapidly, if you think about it.

Ad blockers don't protect you against dumbass frontend devs who serve 5mb png files to be stuffed into 600x400 boxes.

Manually optimizing the code I wrote in C, so that it runs noticeably slower and has all sorts of stupid bugs that weren't there before. All in a good night's work.

Just look at Michael Jordan. His mother negotiated the everliving crap out of everyone who wanted to be associated with him, and now the dude's still raking in absolutely obscene amounts of money every year without doing absolutely anything at all.

This still smells though. Why is the raw, plain text password string getting anywhere near database queries in the first place?

Also important, will it be available and affordable. I don't much care about arm laptops if they cost an arm (heh) and a leg to buy and then a couple fingers to import into the mythical and exotic land of not-US.

I stopped doing frontend work when responsive design became important. Super unpleasant work. Now I'm happier at the backend where I don't have to worry about how my shit looks on the 7 million possible screen sizes people are likely to use. Life is more peaceful here.

Lmao yoavweiss seems to have recently broken the 4 year hiatus on his personal blog to make a new post about how the discussions around this retarded proposal are not constructive enough.

The most constructive that can ever be said about this is "fuck right off" dude.

In my company we have a very modern agile workflow where QA is top priority.

At least that what we advertise. In reality it's all an unorganized clusterfuck where I'm pretty sure I am the only one who bothers to write automated tests. Who's got time to write tests bro just push that shit out ASAP we'll deal with it when the client calls us in the middle of the night to complain about previously-working shit being broken now.

Hello,

I've just recently unpacked my new Dell P3421W monitor. I was like 80% sure there would be no Linux support for the proprietary piece of software that manages the monitor's features, because that sorta stuff is hardly ever built for Linux for some fucked up reason, but I figured I could use my macbook (for which there actually is support) or the monitor's own nipple menu to do stuff. Turns out the macbook version does not work properly on Apple silicon, and the nipple menu doesn't have all the things.

I know it's a long shot, since google hasn't helped much, but would anyone here know if there's a way to go about it? Maybe there are existing tools?
