I definitely see these forces at work at my current gig. In our context the lines separating what should be domain-specific boundaries are blurry. The main system is a monolithic codebase which was developed with a "wild west architect

This is kind of a long story but the short version is that the tooling isn't yet able to differentiate between dependencies which are packaged and deployed with your application vs dependencies which are only used in the build process.

It seemed to me like the author was not actually a cofounder, he was an early hire working under a freelance contract who was retroactively named a "late-cofounder", whatever that means, once the whole thing started to go off the

Yeah I agree, assuming that everyone thinks the same way as academics is "echo chamber" thinking. "If I had access, I would read the literature, therefore they would also read the literature if they had access". The peop

The article mentions Phoenix, so probably Elixir.

Big +1 to this. My parents weren't abusive at all, they love me and have always done their best. But my relationship with my dad is extremely strained- it was a strange and painful realization that I wouldn't associate with him, a

There may be a small number of people for whom strenuous exercise right before sleep doesn't interfere, but a more likely explanation in my mind is broscience. The weightlifting community is especially susceptible to training methodolo

Speaking in generalities but hackers love hard problems, and implementing a 21st century food system is the intersection of most of the biggest problems of our time- climate change, population growth, sustainable energy. The fact that the b

I'm glad to see formerly conventional farmers adopting no-till and other regenerative practices, but it's crazy to me that they're still trying to plant hundreds of hectares in monocrop. Baby steps, I guess. Maybe there'

Setting aside the ethical aspects which others have covered pretty thoroughly, they may have violated 18 U.S.C. §1030(a)(5) or (b). This law is infamously broad and intent is easier to "prove" than most people think, but #notalawy

1. I can't think of any other keyword in golang that comes from Latin. It's a dead language. 2. The meaning of null is well-understood by the CS community. The meaning of nil is not; it seems to be redefined by each language that

Including null in golang was a mistake, but that decision is a lot more defensible than the decision to call it nil. Seriously, can we just pick 1 name and stick to it?

Livestock guardians as a general rule don't protect by fighting, but by convincing the predator that the risk is too high to bother. The guardian alerts and the flock reacts to the danger, seeking shelter, making noise, looking up, etc

The only time anyone pretends this is a useful metric is when they're trying to club the opposing political party over the head with it.

Regarding not wanting to learn Ruby, I wonder how much of the inertia is installation. I mean, some people seem to have visceral reactions to the syntax (I've even seen people say they dislike Elixir because it's like Ruby ). But

I think of it as "no error handling", the program just crashes. There just happen to be many other programs running, which may restart the program that crashed.

Rather than discrete time zones my ideal would be a continuous system which keeps sunrise at the same local time every day, backed by a universal coordinate system like UTC. "Dumb" clocks are set to UTC, "smart" clocks s

I usually try to avoid getting into TZ pedantry, but since you brought it up, UTC is preferred and is not interchangeable with GMT.

These are not a small number of counterexamples, these are patterns that are pervasive throughout modern media distribution. Let's look at Star Wars as an example. I bought a Star Wars box set and I can't watch it on my computer w
