There are nuances to this, too, though: You can be communicating > I think the thing is simple, that the details are unimportant (to me, to us) …and simply be ignorant of a lot of the details that make this not simple for the person w

Meh, you can easily twist that into a bad policy, too (and yes, people do that). At work, some of my colleagues litter many repos (I don't usually have to work with, thankfully) with dozens of commits having the same ticket ID and the

Okay, I'll have a go: State is the data required to continue the operation of a program. That's always the case (also in non-FP contexts), but state is often smeared all over a program as only loosely and implicitly connected piec

This reads more and more like Monty Python's Spanish inquisition sketches. I love it :)

A bit basic, but I've been using "FancyZones" [1] from Microsoft's PowerToys [2] (installable via winget) on my work machine. It at least provides options to e.g. split the display into 3 zones, meaning I can keep my mai

Having used gron in bash scripts, I think "…is much easier to manipulate […] using gnu utils" is overselling it somewhat. You can `grep` through it, yes. But since the output is still structured to be Javascript (which makes it n

Yes, I got my old Chromecast to work with Jellyfin. Heads up: You'll have to redirect DNS from 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to your router if you'd like to use a local hostname (i.e. in your LAN), though, otherwise the Chromecast will neve

I still maintain that "The AWK Programming Language" [1] is one of, if not the best programming language book I've read so far. It's short and to the point, has good examples, and cuts most of the usual fluff like &quo

Another case in point, a movie where the skill disparity is very explicit in the shooting scenes (especially the ending): Quigley Down Under. > He starts with Stormtrooper shooting skills, and ends like the Man with No Name. On the other

As a customer, that is great to hear (well, read). I was reading about how a restore scenario with Borg would look like if "append only" really matters (so in a ransomware scenario), and what I've seen makes me rather uncomf

Well, the Java source uses threads. Guess how that's implemented. FWIW if python provides an abstraction that keeps the code readable while keeping the efficiencies of C, I think that should count for python, not against it.

Came here to say this too. That definitely leaves some UX pessimisation potential on the table.

While this is true, I'd like to point out that the switch to the currently prevailing flavor of OOP also didn't really fit that description all that much. Note that by now, other advancements like assembly vs. raw machine code wou

I don't really share your opinion here (and, likely, the supporting ones about how to use ORMs). But simply disagreeing here would waste both of our time, so I thought I'd ask you about specifics instead. Can you give me some shor

Ah, so we're arguing in bad faith. In this case, I won't try to keep some semblance of a useful discussion going. For your interest, most of our integration tests are written in a cucumber dialect and contain very verbose "bu
