Communists forming communities through mutual consent?! How dangerously ignorant of the last 200 years of history does a person have to be to believe that bullshit.
Remember when that public info map of Trump donors in the bay area was published and everybody started clutching their pearls about how there could be so many of them? That's how many there are in the deepest enemey…
Trans are mentally ill and need to be treated as such, as in they need to seek professional help in accepting biological reality. Encouraging them in their delusions which they will never achieve is only hurting them,…
I love how you both acknowledge that health care workers quitting over forced vaccination is an issue while immediately dismissing their actual experience of having worked through both pre and post vaccine covid world…
Because the timing IS information. Why was a piece of information stated up front, or last, or in the fine print, or released to the public on friday at 5pm, etc. We're not evaluating an arbitrary collection of facts,…
It doesn't take a rocket science to figure out a cokehead who was kicked out of the navy who speaks 0 Russian or Ukranian, and has 0 experience in the energy industry but whose dad is a prominant politician getting…
Also programmers. Walmart is a massive Clojure shop, puts out some very good open source libs, and very much views their IT department as a competitive advantage and not a cost center.
I would argue that any function that branches on argument type is straight up doing dynamic typing wrong. Well branching may not be the right word. Something resembling pattern maching is fine, but like you say having a…
That's some Rails stupidity there, not a dynamic language problem. Autoloading symbols by name is straight up dumb. As for greppable though...then you may as well be using a static language. The point of a dynamic…
I'm not a golang fan, but one thing I've noticed about go is that it is possibly the most approachable yet real programming language for beginners I've ever seen. I think this is part of why go is doing so well in the…
A bit paradoxically, being a generalist is a particular strength, and as the article points out one of the things you can do to do better at work is work in areas that best utilize your strengths. Ergo, if you're the…
Honestly you touch one one of the reasons I love Heroku so much. I've never seen a service that manages to do so much of the heavy lifting for me, but at the same time be 0 lock-in. I've helped move 2 apps off Heroku…
Get a CD player. It's what I did when I got fed up with Spotify.
We considered the opportunity back when Nixon opened relations with China. Now's the time to consider that the increasing exposure to China plan has blown up in our faces.
They've been mucking with the asset pipeline every single version and their forray into webpacker has been a disaster. Turbolinks and ActionCable have been attempts to compete with SPAs while still being SSR but both…
Eh a lot of these seems like strengths of Django. Rails chasing the SPA dragon has been a source of endless pain.
Remember, the true test of tolerance is tolerating the people who are so intolerant they execute the other people you tolerate on a regular basis.
Calling working as a PA "doomed" is probably the most offensive thing said yet in this thread.
This is just not an option for so many very legitimate use cases. Building client-side apps that aggregate and display information from multiple web services hosting on domains totally outside of my control is valuable.
China is a hostile communist nation that has been waging an economic cold war against the USA for decades. The only benefit from the US is a full divorce from any form of economic dependence on China, and anything that…
I think we're talking about different definitions of consistency. In the BSD context, consistancy is that human effort has been put in to get the userspace to look similar. Similar behavior of command line tools,…
Honestly that is a compliment. When it comes to evaluating tech, the best statements are those where you can walk away knowing very clearly that yes, this meets my needs, or no this absolutely does not meet my needs.
ooc why didn't you try NetBSD? Isn't running on every little device kinda their wheelhouse?
It made me switch from Linux. If it doesn't sound compelling to you, that's okay too, Linux is great. But I do think focusing on the consistency of design really is the best high-level summary of the difference between…
Ada, Alice... Interesting question, but it might just be a yellow volkswagon effect. Quickly looking at Wikipedia's list of languages, theres Babbage, Bertrand, Cecil, Darwin, Dylan, Escher, Euclid, Euler, Godel, Hume,…
