The problem is that a real green-field re-imagination of software development needs to go back to the 70s, and back to the (these days mostly fake) metal, meaning it's a massive job that will take years to even know if you might make i

That's fediverse. It's all run by people who can't be arsed running an ad network, and because it's federated the users can just go elsewhere if you did try something like that.

As somebody who has spent his share of time interacting with Jenkins as a user, and messing around inside it as a developer, I am definitely biased. For or against, I'm not sure tho ;-) But the problem with Jenkins is the problem with

That's not at all why mastodon doesn't have search. It's all about stopping "bullying" when you post something stupid.

Move to California, go back to an office for 60 hours a week, sign my life away and swear to secrecy about my thrilling position on some compiler team? Yeah I think could say no to that.

It's not computers breaking you need to fear, but your engine management refusing to turn on when you've put a in third-party window washer motor that doesn't provide the correct response to some proprietary encrypted canbus

Bollocks, there's about seven of us, we're not going to drive anything. And we don't feed them to otherwise-healthy livestock, unlike some other countries.

GP is right, but it's all cars that have become extermely samey. If you're spending Ferrari money your options have never been better, but if you're a "car person" what's for sale right now to the middle clas

IMO the source code to aspects of the system that are best shown as graphs should be the graphs.

Yeah this seems to be absolutely everywhere and entrenched, mainly because it's how npm did things :(

This is the kind of thing that should be fixed by improving tooling, rather than making your source less clear. Given the opportunity that was mjs, bun, deno, etc it's clear that file-based and url-based, and relative imports are thing

If you think advertiser sensibilities and internet mobs should play any sort of part in a just justice system, I don't know what to tell you.

It doesn't really matter what their argument is, they simply need to have one. It's their sandbox, and they have chosen an advertiser-friendly ratchet as the driver of policy. YouTube will get more and more bland and samey as peop

I think GP is describing the period before the .net switch. I remember back in those days having to do web stuff on MS platforms, which meant classic ASP, which was great for the job it was designed for: gluing together ActiveX components.

Because all government power is itself intrinsically a huge cost to society. We don't serve them, they serve us.

You do realise that it's possible to believe both "the world would be better if everybody did X" and also believe that "the government should not have the power to mandate everybody does X"?

The best data you have is the best data you have, no matter how incomplete it may be.

Yeah, I figured as much after taking the time to read the TC doc. Seems like sugar that doesn't really add much. I was excited when I first saw the headline.

How does this deal with escape analysis etc? I can't see how to implement this without vm changes or extreme code transforms which would be antithetical to the spirit of typescript.

What's the catch? There's always a catch, like "turns out it's just WebView" or "turns out only the android and Linux CDE implementations actually exists" or "call us for pricing"

Aw cummon, I'm finally in a position where we could have kids without ruining all our lives with poverty. Now we're in our mid 40s and it's far too late.

They're running out of cash, investors want their money back, and their answer it seems is to turn reddit into onlyfans, which requires they wrest-back control of all the NSFW parts of it.

Pripyat seems like an excellent place to look for genes and organisms that will help us grow food (and recycle air) on the moon / mars.
