Extremely fun little tool! Anywhere I can read about the techniques involve?

An interesting quirk: some words seem to get dropped entirely? for example the word "cleverer" and any word with a hyphen.

Really fun to start with a quote from one person and switch between voices to hear others recite the same line. Alan Rickman doing lines from Aladdin as Iago is pretty funny

I had never given any thought to this word as I had heard and used it since childhood, had no idea that was the origin!

I tend to agree with you but I do think it depends on a lot of factors like team size, churn rate of that team, how long the project will exist, etc.

On a very small development team I've seen a framework be a big help to productivity as there were a lot of little wheels we didn't have to recreate and didn't have to search for a library every time we needed another small feature like that. Certainly there were bumps along the road to learn the nuances of the framework (this is compounded by changing versions of the framework) however those almost always ended up being minor headaches in the scope of a larger feature and maybe extended timelines by a day or two.

I do not want to convey here that my experience is true for every team or every framework, rather that I have had one specific set of experiences with one specific framework that has pulled me from condemning frameworks as a whole while still not being a huge fan.

Had the same issue this morning. The lagging status always causes the issue of "is it you, me or GitHub?" snaffoos. Really annoying to have these issues so consistently. Would switch to gitea or similar in a moment given the choice.

I am unsure what is meant by 'economic system' then, perhaps just the status quo? Buying RVs and starting new lives certainly keeps money flowing.

I will of course be keeping an eye on whether or not they follow through, but the admission of this being a problem and committing to fix it is -far- more than we see from most companies these days. Is it everything I ever could have wanted out of the company? no. However it is a positive direction I would like to see more of so displaying my appreciation is hopefully validation for the company to continue in that direction.

This response validates my trust in DDG as has happened so many times before. Seriously cool company you've built here.

I feel the same way.. mostly. I want one thing from GA and that is user flow. I've first hand seen this help a startup run landing page experiments and very quickly to improve their conversion rates. (The startup was selling a luxury consumer product)

This won't work for everyone and will be of little value to many. However that tool just doesn't seem to exist on most if not all of the lightweight alternatives. Matomo is the only alternative I have seen implement this feature, though those with more experience with the alternatives will hopefully show me I am wrong on that.

Thanks for info on the jargon. I assumed it was, however I also assume there are many like me initially confused by the term without knowledge of how that term is used in that space.

'Charge' here is a confusing term. The way I take it they have set aside this money in case they need to do another test. The title makes it seem as if they have charged (or are preparing to charge) Nasa for this amount. That wouldn't be too surprising given Boeing's history, but does not appear to be the case here (yet).

Directly from the financial report from Boeing:

> Fourth-quarter operating margin decreased to 0.5 percent due to a $410 million pre-tax Commercial Crew charge primarily to provision for an additional uncrewed mission for the Commercial Crew program, performance and mix. NASA is evaluating the data received during the December 2019 mission to determine if another uncrewed mission is required.

> Well, if you use something called a "sniper link", you might make your users' lives easier. Simply go to your inbox and run a search that displays your confirmation email. Then copy that link, and use that on your confirmation page. Then your users will be directed straight to the actual email. This saves them time, and improves the overall user experience.

Never heard of this before, I'm assuming it means generate a link to a search which will show the confirmation email based on the domain of the email address. This will likely not work for anyone using a work email unless you do some snooping on the DNS for that domain (sorry B2B).

The Comma One source code was put online (I think by the author?) and deemed to be incredibly dangerous. If I recall there was very little error handling. Does anyone know what has really changed since then?

This is a problem I did not even know I had. Thanks for pointing it out!

I'd be interested to try this but it fails to boot from the app image for me.

  Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)

On Ubuntu using i3 with vulkan drivers installed.

I've seen maybe a dozen similar map generators, however this is probably the most customize-able one I've seen; an impressive toolset. Even more impressive that the entire tool seems to be built without any templating or view framework. jQuery is used to some extent but for the most part the entire app is built with plain old vanilla DOM manipulation.

The codebase could use a few comments and cleaner structure, but overall it's quite easy to poke through.
