I'm arguing that Wikipedia is better than "a Google search," which is a position I will…
GOV.UK dropped their jQuery dependency from their front end. You'll never guess what happened. (Yes, you will.)
Ask A Manager had a wild story a week ago. A company interviewed someone, hired him, but when he showed up for work … it was a totally different person. A friend asked, “if this was your hire, and you manager asked you to change your hiring practices to prevent this, what would you do?” Nothing. I would do nothing…

TL;DR: After noticing an annoying warning, I went on an absurd yak shave, and discovered that because of a tiny handful of Python packages b...
Recently I got a feedback from a user, who has suffered from Notepad++ for several years: Feeling sorry and guilty, I replied him with all my compassion: My bad conscience has been relieved for Tom. But then I think of other Notepad++ users in pain.
