jessikat··on I closed a lot of browser tabs
I had a co-worker that would have over 300 tabs open. Except, unlike some, in a single window, so the tabs barely had enough room to click on. Yet he could still find the tab he wanted, I think it was down to spatial awareness of what was where. It still boggles my mind.
jessikat··on Apps Getting Worse
Not only that, in the past, your Artists and Albums page would show all artists/albums in your "liked" list, even if it was one or two tracks. Used to be able to play all the songs you did like, but now it only shows whole albums liked, or whole artists liked. Those two pages are entirely neutered, and I have zero use for them now, and find it really difficult to browse for a random artist to listen to, of just their stuff I like. Their UX gets worse every update. I miss the era of non-updating apps. Now it's change for the sake of change. Where have all the UX developers gone?
jessikat··on Habits, UI changes, and OS stagnation
And something Microsoft has completely lost sight of with Windows 11. I guess they don't do any UI/UX testing with power users anymore. Explorer now has TWO context menus, because? I don't even.
jessikat··on A Docker footgun led to a vandal deleting NewsBlur's MongoDB database
Even on localhost, you should still use auth. One shouldn't naively assume someone can't break into your server.
jessikat··on USB-C is about to go from 100W to 240W, enough to power beefier laptops
At least USB-A receptacles were coloured... did we really need to descend into hell for a slightly slimmer reversible plug that wears out even faster than USB-A cables?
jessikat··on Framework Laptop pre-orders are open, starting at $999
Are the expansion cards based on USB, or is it more like Thunderbolt, built on top of PCIe?

The lack of Thunderbolt makes it a complete no-go right now.

jessikat··on Ask HN: What web application server back end would you use for a new project?
ASP.NET Core, it's a great ecosystem with great tooling, and C# is fantastic language to work with. I develop on Windows, deploy to Linux with Docker, docs are great too.
jessikat··on An SQL Solution for Jupyter
"SEE-KWUHL" is actually the pronunciation for MS SQL Server. "ES-KYU-EL" is for all other uses of SQL.
jessikat··on How We Built the GitHub Globe
A link to a repo of the actual code would be nice too for inspiration
