> That's mitigated by the lack of autoloading so you can learn the structure of the project by looking at the import statements at the top of the files. Unfortunately that means that you have to waste time by writing those imports.

I've worked with them both, although Rails has been a while. Some things that stand out to me: Rails has pretty good code generation. If I want just want to get started and add a birthday field to the settings page, I can run a short o

Exactly. Walter Bright also used to be a lone hero - he isn't anymore. But some habits stick of course. Also the languages he writes in might not have the best formatters. I am old enough to have experienced the not so good formatters

I highly recommend everyone who wonders why people do this to read the 'Conspiracy Theory Handbook'. Unlike what the title suggests, it is a very brief primer into the psychological research done by Cook and others on conspiracy t

Respectfully, I believe you are in the wrong here. Covid and climate science denial can be strengthened by having a 'discussion'. This is because conspiracy thinking is actually immune to evidence. The denialist will subvert your

Any sources or data to back that up? Or is this just your own hypothesis you came up with yourself? There is an enormous body of knowledge proving vaccines did reduce transmissions, you can easily find them online. So a claim that goes coun

I believe ads work by making a brand name familiar, which helps you recognize it in the sea of information. And that makes it automatically somewhat more attractive and reputably. You can be entirely unaware of this and it still works. Mayb

Not sure if I would call hardcoded settings in the sourcecode configuration - they are just constants. The primary benefit of configuration is the ability of changing the behavior of software without having to rebuild, redeploy, redistribut

This happens when there are thousands other simple things and a lot of complicated things. When your devs are stretched, you sort by priority and I can tell you this is not that important.

This is all true, important and often misunderstood, but beside the point made to which you reply. There's a (sort of) objective trade-off to be made, but another dimension is how familiar you are with the solution and/or how quic

We use Unleash. There are many things you can do with feature flags and Unleash helps with a lot of them. However, my feeling is 80% of the value comes from 20% of the features. Even a much simpler system provides a ton of benefit. For me,

ymmv and this evidence is anecdotal of course, but our team has used linux on framework laptops now for more than a year and we experience way, way less issues than on windows. I can't remember the last time I had a problem with linux

by Lutger 3y ago
Your perception of desktop linux and its creators sounds like it is based on a cursory trial from at least ten years ago, frankly it sounds quite disrespectful to the makers.

I agree too. That distinction is clear and useful. I'm interested in creating a plausible-natural agricultural ecosystem, aka a food forest. Such a system draws more criticism from ecologists, probably because where I live almost all o

> we are just accelerating nature's own process That is well put and also exactly my point. However, you are accelerating something, so there is an intervention. For some people this doesn't count as natural! The word 'j

This comment boggles my mind. There are hundreds of developers just employed by gitlab, and likely many thousands of contributors and a multiple of active users voicing their (probably often contradictory) wishes. You want to track this in

Hedging your bet is one part, another big one is creating habitat for predators. Pests often arise in monocultures because there just isn't any suitable habitat for the organisms that eat them. A part of that habitat is food, so ironic

by Lutger 3y ago
Well, yes and no. Yes, in the sense that 'nature' is what organisms learned in millions of years and the emergent processes of the ecosystems in which they 'learned' things. And because this is so vastly complex, we ofte

In some tree monocultures, you can just see the soil is covered with layers of organic matter that just isn't decomposing fast enough. This is because there isn't the diversity in the soil food web required to process it, reflecti

Oh my, I don't care much for blackcurrent, but absolutely love redcurrant and whitecurrant. The best one is a pink cultivar. I tell you, the pines aren't worth it.

Nah, the mirror image of this would probably be a meetup for management type folks, with talks praising the efficacy of NOT interrupting your team when doing work requiring deep attention, let them only come to the office when it is really

A large number of developers never master the basics, that is true. But more interestingly, absolutely zero programmers can write a good amount of code that is free of bugs. If your road to safety is bugfree code, it will end up in an accid

It is quite likely this would have been solved by a good automated deployment process. However, it is also quite likely that at some point a human error would creep into either the automated deployment process itself, or be 100% correctly d

Herenboeren doesn't have to compete with commercial farming directly. It only has to be good enough that participants are willing to join, which they are. So the overall deal needs to be attractive enough. And we have several important
