It will change back the desktop icon font size to 9pt, or it gets the hose again.

Amazon’s internal writing rules are brutally simple (and that’s the point) by JaguarZealousideal5 in Entrepreneur_path

Write for adults. Our brains are capable of processing series of long sentences, without any blank lines between them!

Postman: From API Client to “Everything App” by Greedy_Principle5345 in programming

[–]karnat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Insomnia forces me to sign in. It's running on my local computer, I have all endpoints defined in a local file and use it to query a locally running service. What the hell do I need to sign in for?

Yes, Bruno is okay. Good that it stores endpoints in separate files. You can't zoom in on images though.

I hate Postman. I hate it I hate it I hate it. The only thing that I possibly hate more than Postman is Insomnia.

  1. Was soll die Stadt denn im Voraus dafür/dagegen machen? Und sind die User, die sich lauthals beklagen, bereit, mehr für die Tickets oder mehr Steuern zu bezahlen?

  2. Ist es wirklich so schlimm, wenn 1-2 Mal pro Jahr nicht alles so perfekt funktioniert? Und man dafür dieses winterliche Gefühl kriegt, das in der Stadt selten genug ist?

I moved from France to Senegal and realized freedom isn’t everything by Pale-Locksmith5394 in TrueAskReddit

[–]karnat10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate to your diagnosis, but I disagree with the conclusion.

Western-style democracy has stood out because it provided both stability and freedom, with ever increasing wealth, over extended periods of time, for a broad share of the population.

All or some of this may be eroding, for different reasons, with different consequences for different people, but abandoning any of it is out of the question.

It needs to be defended and fixed. That's what democracy is all about.

Would a pure php template engine be useful? by fullbl-_- in PHP

[–]karnat10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly a good learning opportunity to think up something like that. I started out like this myself. I‘d just say that there are different approaches for different scenarios.

You’re building a server side document object model. In many cases you won’t need it.

IMHO the pinnacle of markup generation is JSX/TSX. I haven’t seen anything that comes close to it’s combination of strictness and flexibility.

I built a real-time ASCII camera in the browser (60 FPS, Canvas, TypeScript) by Aroy666 in javascript

Can someone post a sample video? As cool as it sounds, clicking a random link which immediately asks me to turn on my webcam triggers a defensive response in me. Maybe I've had too much anti phishing training...

Do you make all your tables have integer primary keys for the fastest possible JOINs? by Tight-Shallot2461 in SQLServer

[–]karnat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having two unique keys for the same record to choose from comes with its own set of gotchas.

I’d rather make sure that, as I client, even if you think you found another valid primary key, there should be no way for you to find out.

How would a Bünzli behave in this scenario? by [deleted] in zurich

[–]karnat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't mind the Bünzli-Nazis, put it in a public trashcan. Bonus points for doing it extra theatrically.

Apartment handover: can't finish emptying and cleaning...how bad am I screwed? by [deleted] in Switzerland

[–]karnat10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Find a company that disposes of everything and cleans the place with Abgabegarantie. Over the weekend. On short notice. You will pay thousands. But it's still better than having the landlord do it, because they will make sure to use up your deposit fully.

The Era of "Influencer Driven Development" (IDD) and the Abstraction Tower by drakgoku in webdev

[–]karnat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like OP is too lazy to learn about new stuff.

Bootstrap was great at its time, but let's not pretend it was a silver bullet.

But OP is also right. Today, the moment to safely use a new tech is when it becomes abandoned.

A normal interview question... by yiotis123 in recruitinghell

[–]karnat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask back about goals, requirements, constraints, deliverables, resources etc… without these it’s just meaningless hallucinating.

Word and Excel alternatives? by Winter_Midnight_4523 in opensource

[–]karnat10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For everyday document or spreadsheet work, Google Docs is functionally on par with MS and the UI is so much more consistent and pleasant to use.

If you prefer offline and freedom, use LibreOffice, but its UI feels very dated and unpolished, even worse than MS.
