If JS apps are the standard you measure against you'll be happy with most things.

As as old fart it's pretty impressive what fellow old people will get upset over. Skibidi toilet Ohio costumes isn't one of them -- for me. LUL, KEKW and all that jazz. EDIT: Punctuation, because that's what us old folks care

I tend to think a major contributory factor to the indifference (at best) about commit hygiene is that people vastly underestimate the power of "show commit history for this range of lines" in modern IDEs/GUIs for Git. It&#x2

As an obvious example: You should not trust your browser to have access to all of your file system(s) without explicitly allowing at the time of access. The only thing it should (usually) have access to is your "Downloads" folde

Why would locks be connection-specific? ... considering that only one operation can be in flight at a time on a single connection. (Usually, at least.)

Advisory locks have many pitfalls, see [0]. AFAIK the only correct way to do what you probably thought you were doing is "EXCLUSIVE" or "ACCESS EXCLUSIVE"... or two-phase commit or idempotency for the operations you&#x27

JF Bastien is a legend for this, haha. I would be amazed if there's any even remotely relevant code that deals meaningfully with CHAR_BIT != 8 these days. (... and yes, it's about time.)

... but that's been a thing since ever using the "Open" moniker? I just feel "Open" is a mental shortcut that's being misused a bit. See, e.g. [0] for an example of Facebook (now: Meta) for admirable disseminat

I've seen either style, but it the argument about which is proper is pointless. Any modern compiler will optimize either equally well, unless you're doing something that actually depends on the order of the increment.

"Open" is a meme at this point, isn't it?

Indeed. Very strange to hear a break-the-world suggestion from a person leading a company famous for never breaking the world. I'm kind of confused by this whole post. I do understand the desire for simplification (let's ignore

One of the major things about Scala 2 vs Scala 3 is the removal of many of the type system warts, in particular the type hierarchy now forms a lattice (if I'm getting my terminology right) rather than being rather adhoc in various plac

I'm not qualified to comment on the larger Debian ecosystem, but having been forced (due to work) to create some Debian packages... the tooling is awful. Packages are two(?) layers of tarballs, there's the option of free-form shel

The "how" is the thing that adds interest in this case. We are hopefully all cognizant of the fact that disabled people exist and (need to) use the web.

In Idris you get to choose how strict you want to make your types. E.g. you can choose to use "Vect n a" if you want a vector a's where the size is tracked by the type system. Or you can use e.g. "List a" if you wan

I, as a producer of software, have effectively no control over where it gets used. That's the point. Outside of regulated industries it's the context in which software is used which determines how critical it is. (As you say.) So
