Someone probably knows the answer. Ask around. This should include either customers or customer advocates. If nobody knows the answer, then do the simplest thing that accomplishes what you need in order to proceed. Sometimes that means doing nothing. If there are multiple ways to accomplish what you need, do the one that leaves you in a more flexible state for future changes. You can bring up your choices or decisions to team members if you need, possibly during a standup or just ad-hoc.

If you aren’t empowered to take one of those steps, then you are in a dysfunctional environment, in that case, collect your salary and keep your head down, and if you are so inclined, try to find a new company or team to join.

Also cyclists, don’t cut off other cyclists. Ever. Whether it’s out of selfish convenience or to prove something, don’t do it. Pass safely and ride defensively.

Activity Pub is much more flexible, the tradeoff being that it’s more complex. ActivityPub is basically a flexible CRUD API specifically designed for social networking, with support for federation.

You could fulfill the purpose of RSS with ActivityPub. But, it doesn’t supercede RSS/atom, because the simplicity is valuable for the cases those protocols handle.

Not precisely open world but has the same feeling of exploration, discovery and unlocking, Supraland. Harder puzzles, unlock things that make combat easier. Combat is pretty similar to botw.

This is another sign of what’s already going on. It’s getting into backlash territory.

When done properly it is indeed a great practice.

But so many don’t. The way the modern tech industry functions makes it hard to consistently get right, sadly. I’ve left two companies in the past two years where computational resources for automated testing and validation were simply not available. One didn’t have any manual QA beyond the implementing developer. I’m in a better situation now, but those companies still exist. They’re not exactly tiny startups either.

For all its strengths, without any amount of validation, RWD is very likely to lead to such issues. Unfortunately many industry execs are unsympathetic, seeing RWD as little more than a way to get two things for the price of one.

Responsive design was a neat idea, but has failed in the context of the modern web and tech industry.

Reading that, any winner of the affected awards, however deserving, should decline their award. This year’s Hugos are clearly illegitimate.

This is a misunderstanding of the UN’s primary purpose. The UN is a diplomatic organization meant to enable a baseline minimum amount of diplomatic interaction. It’s primary raison d’etre is preventing a world war / nuclear war. If military might was not respected, then nations would leave the negotiating table and large wars would be harder to avoid. The veto was instrumental in establishing the UN in the first place.

Amazingly Google is still the best unpaid search engine, as bad as it has become. Terrible websites have completely taken over the web. To find actual information you need access ProQuest or EBESCOhost or something like that, though their indexes are much smaller.

In the mid aughts every time Google updated their ranking, and results shuffled it was called the “Google dance”. We sorely need a major Google dance.

Riven is still perfect, more perfect now that you don’t need to switch CDs. Doesn’t need a remake.

No.

It’s so rare to find a situation where someone’s declared opinion is actually wrong on merit.

Yeah wow. What a horrible person. She has no care for the children’s well-being as evidenced by the conclusion where she attributes the child doing well to “heroing on”.
