Universal truth?

Too big for you , or too big for almost everyone? If the latter, do you have a source or some research to point to? If the former, why did you choose to present a personal preference as a common truth?

I see it as a larger problem in many "ideologically inclined" projects, like Open Source software, fairtrade products, etc. A large amount of energy is wasted on "infighting" where people spend significant effort on atta

I really love all the "modern" takes on classic tools by the Rust community. I'm using eza (aka exa), aliased as ls, which has "tree" built in (aliased as lt), amongst others, as replacement for "ls" and i

They can be in more countries than just the Netherlands IIRC. And simple test-kits are available too - these aren't as good obviously, but can e.g. prove the absence or presence of certain (by)products. Also, these tests are set up in

But that's true for any criminalized substance. It's not like the FDA or EFSA or so is going to do lab tests on, say, XTC and fine producers that lie on their ads or ingredient-list. Though biological products like psilocybin (or

Wat? Maybe my bubble is different, but in my surroundings and experience, the exact opposite is true. Now, an important factor here is that a first time often comes with anxiety, insecurity, and even fear. With many substances these feeling

Drugs' build up and tolerance varies wildly between the drugs, the person and the experience one seeks. Chemically and physically, LSD for example is gone in a few days and certainly weeks. But taking two days in a row needs "insa

by berkes 1y ago
Yes, that's very much how the Rails community thinks about "decorators": something that "decorates" the UI elements.

Ruby doesn't have "interfaces" - obviously, because it doesn't have types or a type-enforcement. So any design pattern, architecture or concept that relies on types, or interfaces, are "limited" in that sense.

What annoys me (only slightly) in the Ruby community, is it's loose and often "wrong" usage of design patterns. IMHO, the whole idea of "design patterns" is that they are a standardized way of doing stuff. So that w

Slightly joking: but maybe "intelligence" is partly "empathy"? In my view, a truly evolved and highly intelligent species would be one that causes no harm, distress and certainly no pain or suffering to anything else. So

Even cooler, IMHO, is that invertebrates evolved intelligence (and almost identical eyes!) parallel to primate's and corvids'. Squid, octopi, etc have cognitive abilities that sometimes overtake that of "intelligent" mam

I doubt any "anti-scraper" system will actually work. But if one is found, it will pave the way for a very dangerous counter-attack: Browser vendors with need for data (i.e. Google) simply using the vast fleet of installed browser

I've done that as well. The PoC worked, but the statelessness did prove a hurdle. It enforces a pattern in which a client must do the PoW every request. Other difficulties, uncoverd in our PoC were: Not all clients are equal: this puni

That's a perfect tool for monopolists to widen their moat even more. In line with how email is technically still federated and distributed, but practically oligopolized by a handfull of big-tech, through "fighting spam".

I understand why, but still lament that java applets where dropped like a hot potato, rather than solving the (fundamental) issues. Back then, I learned Java, just to have fancy menus, quirky gimmicks and such. Until flash came along, nothi

I guess it could be improved with a simple check if SomeStreamClass_ already has someSymbol and then raise an exception, log a warning or some such.
