Recommended by who, is the thing. The recommended holding temp for coffee is 110°, McDonalds of that era was holding it at 200°, and claiming it was so that when you arrived at your destination with your coffee it would have cooled down to drinking temperature, even though that is not what people use drive throughs for

Ruby's popularity in the early 10s thanks to Ruby on Rails feels like it happened by accident. The language is hard to read and low performance, but Rails is completely automagic. But this is also the worst thing about rails. You create your app fast, but then maintaining it is expensive because you can't onboard new developers easily. Even if they're familiar with rails' automagicisms, it will take them quite some time to parse what the hell the code is doing.
Meanwhile I seem to recall Ruby's creator finding the situation of his language being popular because he'd created it as an experiment and never thought it would be used in production grade environments
It's also cyclical and deeply embedded in our society. It all starts with dominating the search space. Google chrome came along to cement Google's stranglehold on the search space by having search and browser be one. Of their two big competitors at the time, google was paying money to one to be their default search provider. And any search not made in chrome on google directed users to download chrome. I don't know how many people remember how google directed users to download chrome, but it was weakly implied you had to. It was an early example of a dark ux pattern. Then after google got a strong foothold in the browser market to dominate search more, they come up with the Chromebook and gun hard for every school student to receive a Chromebook. At the time a lot of us thought "oh good, now low income kids will have access to the internet while theyre in school, they can use that to learn things" and suddenly kids were growing up that chrome, the web browser, was the internet. And there were thousands of little steps over the last 16 years of google chrome that google has used to more and more deeply entrench themselves as all that is search, and all that is browse in the minds of users.
And I want to ask you this. When's the last time you used their search product and didn't have to struggle to find something useful in the top 10? Now the google front page is half properly labeled ads, 25% improperly labeled ads masquerading as results, 15% SEO bullshit that isn't actually relevant or useful, just another advertiser showing their adds, and maybe one decent result. And what do you say when you want to do a web search? Even if you use bing or duck duck go or anything else, if you're like most people, you probably say something like "let me google that"
We've gotten to a point of total apathy with google. Even if users are actively going to google for everything, its not even all that active from their perspective. They don't know what else there is, and even if they do, their old habits are deeply set. They use google when theyre not thinking about it, which is most of the time, because that's what's already in their brains
Where can you point to other developers evidence that the code in git matches the code you deployed? Deploying locally built packages to prod is an automatically fireable offense because its not auditable
I think it's an offer
Sounds like he realized being a billionaire is intrinsically unethical and elected to be a millionaire
It's the free (as in beer) program that comes with windows to open doc and rtf files and put together fine enough documents. Dropping it is Microsoft telling users unwilling to pay for word without the technical knowhow to get LibreOffice or Abiword going to get fucked. Its anti consumer no matter which way you slice it.
Maverick gets a pass for being a small hybrid rather than a gas guzzling 1500 with no torque
And then they don't know where the front end of their vehicle is, making the roads more dangerous for everyone
Very true, and very annoying. Anytime I see thst all I can think is that its a family sedan for someone not confident enouf in their manhood
It's design demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what trucks are for. I know people give the CEO of Ford shit for saying hes not worried about the Cybertruck because people who want to do real work wouldn't take any interest in it, but its true. Trucks all have the shape of bed they do for a reason. Convergent product evolution landed on that as the best shape for a bed for trailer hitches
Step one: keep it on a hot plate that keeps it at 200° so that you can serve it longer
That is all the steps
