> Read only databases are a lot easier to deal with regarding locking. "A lot easier" sounds like an understatement. What's there to lock when the data is read only?

Comments are perfectly fine on their own. It's common that a block of code can be given a higher level explanation in a comment, but wouldn't be a good standalone function because it depends on the context too much and so the func

Aging itself is not a disease, it's just stuff falling into disrepair over time. Age-related illnesses shouldn't be dismissed with "they're just old" of course but there's no reason to expect a single cause. Ot

The spirit of the unix philosophy is not implementing MxN use cases separately. Running the same program as a separate binary or as a subcommand has nothing to do with it

Postgres will get disassembled into independent composable parts and some other "distribution" of it will be used for a more narrow set of use cases that actually require running the database as a standalone process

I'm saying that Mastercard/Visa being able to do this on their own is one half of a free speech issue. It's not a free speech issue of its own, but it creates a free speech issue when combined with them being vulnerable to go

The article already defeats itself in the title: password managers are a must-have. One needs to choose a good password manager, but that's already true.

The amendment is about laws, not execution. As long as we're not interpreting the amendment literally and trying to infer its spirit at all, the equivalent in this case is that the executive branch should not have the power to legally

It's a free speech issue if the government _can_ pressure Mastercard and, separately, Mastercard _can_ act as a censor. That government isn't using this ability in this particular instance is no more of a consolation than if there

The argument from free speech is that government should not be allowed to censor, regardless of the mechanism. Payment processors currently offer that mechanism.

In any world where the standard is convergent, not explicitly agreed upon, and there's no natural boundary between shady users and non-shady users. An x% shadiness user joining the network grants justification to the next x-0.001% shad

None of the four: code, tests, spec, people's memory, are the single source of truth. It's easy to see them as four cache layers, but empirically it's almost never the case that the correct thing to do when they disagree is t

"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Not evidence but a good reference to this expectation.

Customers almost always want to not deal with bugs, jank and slowness. It wastes time and attention, which is much worse than wasting compute. Minor issues are usually tolerable, especially when there aren't any alternatives. That does
