My take is... No one needs an ORM: https://dev.to/cies/the-case-against-orms-5bh4 The article opens with "ORMs have proven to be useful for many developers" -- I believe the opposite is true.

In Deno you can make a runtime that cannot even access the filesystem. That's a cool feature. Using jlink for creating custom JVMs does something similar. That's a good feature. What you are saying is still true though, using the

The Corolla was simple but very well designed; it's manuals were used in classes teaching car mechanics. PHP was not well designed. No one learning to program should choose it as a first language. That fact that people did choose it wa

I wonder is someone truly believing this is a good hire ("the new hire can do the JS!") or a bad hire (as in: no clue what a fun programming language is like, or "must have never used JS in anger").

Once more proof the fed cannot be trusted. They are a private (and very secretive) entity at the heart of the US govt, thus not democratically governed.

I count 506 on the Win list. 17 are no longer in use for recent version. So 489. And 467 on the Linux list https://filippo.io/linux-syscall-table . Ballpark the same number.

I think this is where functional style and strong types come in handy: they make it harder to write bad code that looks innocent. In part this is because the process of development leans less hard on the discipline of devs; humans. Code bec

W98SE was the last windows that actually felt polished to me. Also I had the feeling that while using it (a fresh install) my computer was faster than with any other windows versions from around that time. Later windows came with different

I like to read here about self-built projects. And I agree --as the author writes-- that PHP should belong to the past. But replacing PHP with server-side JS is not the kind of progress that I'm into. Anyway: congrats on the release!

We remember Munich. We cheered. We saw nothing coming out of it. China and Russia also made performative efforts to "ditch MSFT". All walked back on their efforts (probably when they got a better deal).

All vims and emacses can have undo-tree (as a plugin iirc). Many devs use it. Vote/read-up here for the feature on Zed: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/17455 And here on VSCode: https:&#x2F

It's a very bad mirror then. For example the Linux kernel has mirrors where it's source code can be downloaded from. AI cannot even "mirror" the Linux kernel. Try it! Ask it to deliver a monolithic kernel that works on a
