   I spent a lot of time with spring, and became a bit of an expert on it, I'm able to debug and understand most issues that come up with it. Still, I agree wholeheartedly, there is too much magic, it's very difficult for someone to

   It's been a long time since I used it, I don't remember what I was using for diffs, but I suspect it was just whatever the default built in diff support was. It occurs to me that many people these days use git with github exclusiv

   I can't really think of a good example that other people haven't mentioned, but I have an anti-enlightenment piece of software, spring framework. Spring actively hindered my ability to understand the simple concept that is depende

   I thought SVN was great, easy to use, and very intuitive, that is until you had any merge conflicts. At the time, it worked very well for our small team, I imagine it would work less well for large teams on a single codebase. I miss having

   While maven and gradle may lack the architectural purity of bazel, they work much in the same way. Plan and execute steps, building a graph of the required build tasks, only executing the tasks that have changed inputs. With that said, it&#

   It seems like the main problem with any productivity metric, is that once you tell your workers what the metric is, it will be gamed. However if you collect the metrics in secret, and only use them as a guide for where productivity could be

    I mean, this fork has 2 commits, made an hour ago. Meanwhile, as other people have pointed out, there are already other quite active forks.

    I doubt it hurts very much. Are the names of these people even public? I don't think that many companies really do the kind of due diligence for IC positions that would discover someones involvement in a stunt like this, beyond maybe a

    The real reason is because of Chinas strict capital controls. Presumably the authorities(Chinese) are trying to deflect from that.

    I like to think that the author wasn't happy with how much code his CSV parser required, and decided to nerd-snipe hacker news to find some alternatives.

    Morality wise isn’t it the opposite? If you own the business, it’s your money to waste If you work for the business you are wasting others money.

    Yeah, I always see these announcements from the standards body, “we’ve doubled pcie bandwidth again”, but I never see any articles actually digging into the engineering challenges involved, and what innovations have been made to enable such

    gradle-wrapper is just a convenience, you can always just build the project with an installed version of gradle. Although I get your point, it’s a great place to hide nefarious code.

    This flow is a bit different from a password reset email, it's a notification with a direct call to action, allow or deny. You can't debounce them like you can with a reset password email flow. With a typical password reset email,

    The problem with adding rate limits, at least a global per user rate limit, is that you then create a new denial of service issue, preventing people from being able to recover their account.

    It’s funny seeing pg talk about Steve being anti authority, when the authorities of reddit are such a negative part of it. It’s quite alarming how reddit has made no effort to encourage a higher quality of moderators.
