Engagement isn't just driving ads. It's driving engagement: The "toothbrush"-factor we called that in app-development: do you have an app that people pick up like their toothbrush: without much thought, several times a d

Yes, fiddling with the $PATH works, until it doesn't. In this case the app was installed via RBENV, so it works but only if I decide that all of the RBENV stuff must be after anything else, which breaks some other hacks/tricks. So

Sorry, Dutch here, We use the IJ, which isn't officially a separate letter, but somehow I learned we have 27 letters (when sorting, the IJ comes before the Z. When capitalizing, IJsselmeer, is right, Ijsselmeer is wrong). ] 26 would be

I'll avoid any tools or software that "squats" the one, two or three letter space. Almost all one and many of the two-letters are already "taken" by some script, alias or both. "z" is hibernate for me. e.g

I strongly believe GitHub has the same dynamics as most "big tech social media". Where anything that drives "engagement" gets prioritized. From algorithms that make alt-right/neo-nazi's more visible because the

> The numbers switch was slow, though. 50 years is hardly "slow" on a scale of language reform. The number-systems stem from at least proto-germanic languages, millenia of small changes.

I don't always manage to adhere to my own advise here. But talking to "customers" really solves this. Half these customers can't be bothered by the edge cases that I've been poring over for nights. The other half pu

I guess it's the end-goal then, though. If your goal is to become a rockstar and play the guitar in a band, GH is probably a very bad route to it. But if it is to "have fun" its perfect. Same with this vim: if you just need a

In "happy paths" I except some fancy abstractions, allow large dependency trees, complex state-machines or business-logic. I'm "fine" with deeply nested trees of includes, inheritance, modules and whatnot. But I ins

Strange. I've been on Linux some 28 years now, and it used to be like that¹. But today? I haven't had a kernel or graphics driver update failing on me for years. Maybe 10+ years? Granted, my Linux is the most boring, hardly-config

I'd expect that "automatic disk and partition changes" have a rather high risk of severe data-loss.

This is why I am extra vigilant, pendantic and strict when writing or reviewing code that handles exception and error paths. More than happy-path code, I want this to be simple, rediculously easy and very loosely coupled. No inheritance, no

The handling is an opportunity too, though. Now you can merge cargo from several ships, and split the cargo from one ship to several others. Rarely do all containers go in one large batch from just one port to another single one.

ASML was one company formed out of Philips' microchip division (NXP the other part from that division). So it's not a company built by politicians from many European companies AFAIK.

Obviously. A big problem with rails, though, is how easy it makes it to "do the bad thing" (and in rare cases, how hard it makes it to do the "good" thing). A has_many/belongs_to that crosses bounded domains (adds

It's also that many Rails shops have performance problems: which isn't the same as saying "Rails is slow"!!. "Getting performance problems at some point" is almost a rite of passage in Rails; I'm certain e

Gitlab is, AFAIK, nowhere near the scale of Github. Shopify IDK, but I'm fairly certain their type of usage is very different. Basecamp is also of another scale, and certainly a very different usage/performance type.

It's also why many of the UI toolkits on JS "spa"s suck. They often lack interaction that people do use, but the developer wasn't aware of. DoubleClick on buttons, enter in text fields, home-end in selectlists, typing in

Indeed. The issue I've repeatedly seen, is that ten different people, have ten different combinations and alternatives of what are "very good tools". And even then, these people aren't fixed in time. Maybe today I need a

Not exactly what you are looking for, probably, but Leptos[1]. Dioxus[1.1], Yew[2] and almost all "frontend web frameworks in rust" run primarily/only on WASM. Larger list here[3] [1] https://github.com/leptos
