   Volta is also written in Rust. I've only used it for managing Node and npm versions, but it can do more than that and describes itself as a "tool manager" rather than a node version manager. https://docs.volta.sh&#

   Just to add on to this, I've found using dev/master or any other two-trunk setup also tends to encourage bad habits. One branch is seen as the 'production-ready' trunk while the other becomes 'broken-or-incomplete-c

   It's an awkward literal translation, but I see the author's thinking in how they break it apart. I've seen "Freundschaft" translated as either "amity" or "friendship". Going off of Duden (I'

   While it's true a third-party attempt is all but hopeless, Nader's campaign isn't the most successful in recent years. Gary Johnson did better in 2016 and Perot did much better in 1992 and 1996 although he wasn't running

   I believe in the Facebook dispute Apple only disabled their Enterprise account because that's the one they were abusing. Losing the Enterprise account wouldn't prevent Facebook from pushing their apps on to the store, but they wou

   So Stack Overflow will be getting its own version of a blue checkmark? Seems to go against the meritocratic, earn-your-rep ethos of the site.

   I'm curious how those numbers compare. There seems to be a significant majority in favor of remote work in online forums, but that's not a perfect sample.

    There's a lot to admire about Germany's reckoning, especially the Stolpersteine, but the American history is so different that it's a lot harder to apply. Germans are able to view National Socialism as a horrific 12-year aber

    Training internally makes a lot of sense, but it's also a huge hurdle and expense if your developers don't already have rust experience. What was the process of proposing rust and getting buy-in like?

    So I've just tinkered around a bit in Rust, and I'm not intimately familiar with the language. My experience has been pretty good, but I don't see how it's a good fit for the web domain. At least not the enterprisey, CRU

    It's debatable whether they achieved it, but at one time Stack Overflow explicitly stated that their goal was to be a middle ground between a transient Q&A site and a wiki. That philosophy is why they allow everyone (even those wit

    I'll have to check those out. For Schulz would you recommend the Wieniewska or Levine translation?

    That would be front-running and it's illegal. The article you linked explains what PFOF is, but in general there's nothing wrong with market makers fulfilling brokerage orders. It means traders get a better price on their order an

    Probably the biggest downside is that the government would lose a major policy tool. If there are no corporate taxes then there's no way to incentivize companies via tax breaks. It would also become more important to enforce taxation o

    I've seen a lot of variance too. There are people on both sides of the argument who feel strongly. Whichever direction a company chooses there are going to be a lot of unhappy employees.

    Corporate taxes allow governments some level over control over corporate policy by incentivizing certain behaviors through deductions/credits etc. Also, dropping the corporate tax rate to 0 would probably be politically impossible, eve

    Yeah, I do like working with Tailwind and PurgeCSS and that setup works great. It's a good way of avoiding the unused CSS problem in the first place. The problem for me is digging into a large existing codebase which has built up thous

    I've struggled with this as well. As far as I can tell there isn't a good solution, but I'd love to be proven wrong. You can run PurgeCSS in a dry mode to find any unused selectors, but it can't handle any classes that a

    What do you mean? Slavery in America was inextricably tied to racism just as the Holocaust was inextricably tied to Antisemitism or the Civil War was inextricably tied to slavery. None of those aspects should be ignored or downplayed. Histo

    I'm sorry, but you've got it completely backwards. If you're doing a word association and the first thing you think of for 'black' or 'African American' is 'slave', then yeah that's racist.

    I agree there needs to be some reform of Section 230 in that direction. The law simply can't handle what the internet and social media have become. When a platform is curating and recommending content to users, it should be treated mor
