Yeah, I think it's because nobody sat down and methodically created it. People create config languages that work for their use case and then it is just a happy accident if it works for other things. I don't think anyone has put se

Not always, sometimes all other options are just wrong. Or you can auto detect the correct setting.

Yep, Although I do feel like there is a case to be made that if you need a Turing complete configuration language then in most cases you failed your users by pushing too many decisions on to them instead of deciding on sensible defaults. An

toml is pretty much the best one I have seen so far. At least for small to medium size config files.

A quick google shows that go can expose functions to c, so presumably you could use it in any language that has a c ffi.

Give them a Wordpress site (on a VPN) that generates a static site.

The key to running Wordpress securely is usually to set the file permissions correctly and protect all admin routes. Basically, don’t expose any write endpoints to the internet. And the easiest way is to use as few third party plugins/

Well, if you have your own domain then you can at least move it around between providers. But yeah, if you are doing anything truly unpopular then I don't think there's much you can do to stay online.

I get what you are saying, but I feel like this applies: Not your domain/site, not your corner of the internet.

I guess the question is what do you consider a long time? RedHat usually break setups every 3-4 years which I personally consider way to frequent. If I configure a server with automatic updates then I would like it to run with very little m

Good network connectivity makes a huge difference. Back in the day when Joyent ran their public cloud you could beat Cloudflares free plan from Joyents Japan datacenter by a tiny amount in most cases. Anyway, those days are gone and Cloudfl

Not having a link forces people to navigate to the page on their own. For a lot of people that takes the form of a Google search. Lots of people googling specifically for your brand increases your search rankings. Or so goes the theory anyw

Editors does a lot less for quality of the writing than people tend to think. Also, there’s nothing stopping someone self publishing from getting an editor to polish their manuscript before publication. The truth is that most authors who se

Cool, I use Typora for writing readme files and documentation. It’s the best markdown editor I have found so far.

Written language usually don't have paragraphs inside paragraphs. In programming things are frequently nested several levels deep. This is the key difference that makes a termination character/word important I think.

I agree that languages that look bad are hard to read. For me curly brackets or significant white space for blocks/scope is a big problem, it just all turns to soup. So Ruby using end instead of brackets or white space is one of my fav

I think that really comes down to how your brain works or the way you think about logic. For me Ruby is a lot easier to wrap my head around and understand than Python is.

If your service goes down then, usually customers aren't impressed by you screaming about it being some suppliers fault and it being their liability. My point is that you can't outsource reputational damage and blame.

I pay for a Reddit subscription, but it’s honestly not a great place for communities. The communities on Reddit is in my experience always lower quality, more combative and less friendly than communities on discord, discourse and irc.

Why make it bash specific instead of sh?

Same thing kinda goes for anything on the command line. The amount of commands that are 2-3 characters long really slows down learning and when it comes to it you will often be typing another 80 ish characters after the command name for opt

I watched a video explaining monads where the presenter explained that simple meant small… So yeah, I think they would call regex simple as well. It honestly never occurred to me before watching that video that someone could mean small when
