Sir, your assessment of this particular joke is excellent. We should start a joke approval committee to avoid further confusion.

> I need to keep on relearning basic concepts I should have at the top of my head.

Who says you should? As an engineer you are a problem solver and not a hard drive to store every step of an algorithm. You seem to know what pieces fit together but struggle with the details, but that's fine. It's not a negative thing, you are just a bit hard on yourself. If you don't use a concept regularly, you are naturally bound to forget it. I can now confidently write xmlhttprequest and fetch without quick googling :)

> When I compare myself to my colleagues

Don't do that, that's a way to depression and anxiety. They are probably suffering too you just don't notice it.

Agree, I'd miss lots of features even though it's a bit quirky at some points.

I made a dark theme for it:

    c:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\GHISLER\wincmd.ini

    [Colors]
    InverseCursor=1
    ThemedCursor=0
    InverseSelection=0
    BackColor=2105376
    BackColor2=2763306
    ForeColor=12632256
    MarkColor=255
    CursorColor=1028084
    CursorText=-1
    ActiveTitleText=0

Try Lumen which is a lightweight version of Laravel, for form processing this is all you need.

Framed as old is not an insult, people love vintage cars :)

In my definition:

Website: main focus is information serving, documents, designs, texts, assets, etc.

Webapp: users can create some kind of output from the service that's based on creative input.

The line is still blurry, but more narrow and contrasted.

HL1: Yes please, it would look so cool.

> they added PBR layers

and fluid simulation for explosions

I'd rolling in joy for Max Payne and GTA San Andreas :)

Another awesome RTX demo from Crytech:

You are right and it needs to stop.

They've already seen that coming, that was probably a motivator to create Alphabet. Breaking them forcefully would do nothing. What do you think would happen? Decouple AdWords from search? Ok. Decouple Google cloud? Hmmm. Ok.

The end result would be that project leaders would be CEO-s belonging to Alphabet, but everything would be still running on the same architecture, platform, services.

Do you donate to the foundation?

Once they figured out how to make it sound like a new revolutionary thing :)

My main computer is a laptop with a Intel UHD Graphics 620 card :) Having a small card like this to speed up training would be so cool.

I would just use a baseball hat and sunglasses which at least doesn't shout "hey, I'm actively combating facial recognition tech", look at me.

Also, if you use an obfuscation tool like this, you would mark yourself for closer inspection by human wetware which makes this approach counter productive.

A browser version will come sooner IMHO.

That they are Mac only at the moment so to expand that's their logical next step.

Just skimmed it, thanks :)

Hmmm, so running an operating system on your operating system consumes 20% more resources. Who would have guessed? :)

Thanks, I didn't know about he monitor support.

Interesting, but I couldn't do much serious work without external monitors and a great keyboard. I just need the screen real estate and a professional input device to be productive.

I'm at 81% :) The fun part is over now with my e-commerce project. I have to integrate with payment provider, design a checkout form, create a shipping API, write legal text, subscribe to callbacks, etc :)

I will push it though, it's just boring stuff that must be done, but luckily I have the chi inside me thanks to the 80% fun part and positive feedback that I received during it.

I've read it and I think it's way overblown. All I care about is solid support for standards and Chrome shines it that.

I picked them because I could test if you actually experienced it. Chrome at the moment is the best we have but it does come with strings attached. It has different problems indeed, surprise surprise, however I don't think that's that a big issue at all.

It is:

https://wicg.github.io/construct-stylesheets/

They added two new methods to solve the FOUC (flash of unstyled content) problem.

It can easily become part of the standard if the feedback is positive.

The DevTools update is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uddZX9ZK6wY

Break point like console logging is a neat idea.

Without a whitepaper it's not really credible.

I don't allow them to ruin any of my days :)

How it's less free? It's easier than ever to publish something for free with knowledge that can be acquired for free and reach/collaborate with orders of magnitude more people.

I remember digging through HomeSite 4.0 help file to learn what HTML tags do.

I experience the opposite. For me the web is 100x better than it was in 2001.
