Bad PR works to an extent, but bad PR can be combatted with good PR, not necessarily with changes. I think an independent regulator would be useful; one that can testify that a company is following best practices for data, etc. Although if

Actually, that's one of things that makes this frustrating. Because there is no real regulation, a group/individual decided to "become" the law. The became lawmaker, judge, and executioner. They decided what was illegal,

Yeah, I think enforcement is probably a big part of what keeps the internet a "Wild West" for these cases; and improvements to enforcementability could fundamentally alter what the internet is :/

I don't know :( But this feels like some sort of terrorist tactic, and I don't think this should be the way things on the internet are regulated either.

Actually, a good physical example is restaurant health inspections. They're responsible for testing the safety of an organisation, and making sure that data is publicly visible, and in extreme cases, shutting the organisation down for

It's stuff like this that reminds me that the internet is in many ways still in a loosely regulated, "Wild West" state. This is pretty clearly willful destruction (I.e. vandalism; https://legal-dictionary.thefreedi

Ahh, that's not what I was going for. I'm actually just curious. I'm willing to give emacs a try, but it just seems like it has kind of a steep learning curve, so want some strong reasons to know if it's worthwhile. Thi

Thanks for the examples! The magit page is a little hard for me to grok why it might be worth switching to something else. > Did you know that you can stash index and working tree separately? What does this mean? Can you give an example?

> All cli tools should have a magit interface. World peace and happiness would ensue. :) Ahhhh, I think I understand! So magit is like an autocompleting wrapper/reorganization around the git cli. That does sound great! There are som

Oh nice! That's pretty similar to the VS Code's search experience; I didn't know emacs had that built in! I have a colleague who uses emacs and he always uses grep for stuff like this and it makes my eyes bleed :P

Although the mouse centric experience thing makes sense when _writing_ code, I don't think it makes as much sense for reading/refactoring code. I'm not an Emacs user, but watching some of my colleagues navigating a codebase w

What are your favourite features about magit? I switch between Pycharm and Vs code and terminal for my git usage. I find Pycharm has a really great git blame ui that makes it easy to walk back in time and investigate changes. It lets you to

I think others have already done a good job of describing how programs like that help make you a better programmer, and can be inspiring. I'd like to add that something that I find interesting and inspiring about programming is managin

My path was FrontEnd -> AngularJS -> Vue ; Personally I liked angular for the same reason I think people liked jQuery back in the day; it just made a bunch of previously annoying things easy to do--lots of helper methods, custom compo

What are you considering as a DSL in Vue? I think JSX in React is more of a DSL than anything in Vue.

Haha, you're not alone. I remember when I first learned programming, loops me a while to get. Can't remember why, just remember the confusion :P Now if I'm teaching someone, I like to explain loops like going through a stack

Absolutely wonderful description. (This comment was more interesting than the blog post). I've been trying to figure out how to justify to PMs/etc that we should spend time to make delightful software, and "emotional design&q
