I can, and do, appreciate opinions on languages themselves. But my decision to continue using Python over Clojure is much less about the language's syntax and more about the available libraries. How do Clojure web frameworks compare to

I'm sympathetic to anyone who's had a challenging job search, and am glad that you found something. Society is worse off for having barriers that prevent anyone who wants to code from being able to do so. That includes the ineffic

A few weeks ago, one of my favorite artists came out with a new album. The day I tried it out, I played through it several times. My brain was invigorated, my blood was pumping, and I had an abnormally productive day of coding. That day of

It depends a lot on what you're hoping to do. There's a happy medium for a large app between "every component manages their own state/props and those of their children" and "every component is a stateless vesse

I love Vue and use it wherever I can. I used to feel iffy about the angular-y syntax and how CSS JS and HTML all often live in the same file, but I've come to love the way that coupling embraces the component architecture: "This f

It's hard to get "better" at something because it can mean so many things. Describing the attributes that makes you better with MongoDB, APIs, or software development gets you a lot of the way towards learning how to do it. T

I sense an upcoming reckoning against these techniques. Big "SALE!" signs and prices ending in 9 aren't benign: they're malevolent attempts at psychological manipulation, and they degrade consumer trust the minute custom

I think GP's point was that "social justice warrior" is a loaded term with a political agenda behind it, and that using it detracts from your overall point (both in the article, and in your explanation for using it in the abo

My go-to vote as well. Some of my favorite passages pertain to the awareness of-and management of- one's internal motivation and thought process when attempting to do good work. "So the thing to do when working on a motorcycle, as

As a non-crypto-mining consumer, I've been frustrated by the price increase for video cards, and perhaps that frustration impacts Nvidia in the long run. But really, when crypto was booming, what was Nvidia supposed to do? They were th

Unity is an excellent place to start. I took this Udemy course on Unity to get started, and enjoyed it quite a bit. https://www.udemy.com/unitycourse2/learn/v4/overview . The coding parts go by a bit too slowl

Curious about one criticism in particular: I can run pipenv shell to get a new shell which runs the activate script by default, giving you the worst of both worlds when it comes to virtualenv activation: the unwieldiness of a new shell,

One of the things I liked about Mongo (compared to Postgres) was the ability to configure a list of connected servers, an election pattern for deciding the master, and... that's it. With that, servers on multiple hosts were load-balanc

That's the whole point behind Title II. No, it's not their service: it's a common carrier providing a public utility. With that comes responsibilities towards consistency and neutrality of service.

Maybe so, but I don't agree with them. What they're doing is using their state monopoly on force to squash dissent. That's reprehensible, and entirely separate from companies deciding what content they want to endorse through

If you're referring to the removal of hate speech from online platforms, it's misleading to characterize that as censorship. I have every right to (and should) kick people out of my house for spewing vitriol, and companies have ev
