Perhaps no user avoided it (though that seems unlikely), but can't you imagine why some contributors may have avoided it? Wouldn't that lack of potential contributions be a material loss for the project?

How exactly are the groups of people working on various parts of the official ecosystem supposed to coordinate their efforts? The only alternative I've seen is a benevolent dictator, which seems significantly worse for a number of rea

I have this pattern. I play ukulele now, but I could only break over that hump because I first started when I was travelling for three months. Maybe take your guitar on vacation?

In my experience, getting the griddle to the perfect temperature requies overheating initially and the cooking a crappy pancake. No matter how many times I make pancakes (contribut to a new project) the first one always sucks. Also, don&#x

Generally the issue with the switches scattered about (or more generally, and concern about conditions scattered about the codebase) is that the body of each case is different. Of course if all the bodies are the same the easier option is a

This is called the Expression Problem because, as you allude to in your example, it comes up all the time in compilers and interpreters when dealing with expressions. If you're looking for an elegant solution (the first I've ever

What does the warning say? "You might not be downloading the file you think you are"? That just seems like useful, accurate information that you probably want to be aware of.

Unfortunately we're terrible at prediction. The code you spent all night getting clever with gets rewritten next week, but the code you just threw together survives until the new platform, when it gets ported directly because nobody re

That's completely the right strategy for the scale most web apps operate at.

Speed isn't the reason I love Rust. It's: 1) the expressive type system, notably the use of optional type instead of null and the use of lifetimes to make reasoning about references tractable, and 2) the community, with a focus o

The author spills a lot of ink showing that they really didn't take any time at all to understand the problems they complain of. The title is clickbait, of course aync Rust works, and the article doesn't talk about it anyway. The

Perhaps you were in the same lecture as me, when I asked the lead developer on Big Hero 6 why they didn't just use doubles to solve their precision woes, and he informed me that they literally couldn't afford to use doubles at tha

That doesn't ring true to me. My FFI experience is somewhat limited (JS to C, JS to C++ via C wrappers, Rust to C, Rust to C++ via C wrappers) but from what I've seen you have to speak C to make FFI.

All abstractions are leaky, but an abstraction meant to never lose the work of a power user is maybe more defensibly leaky than average.

Think of legal writing as an incredibly wordy programming language and it will make a lot more sense. Lawyers aren't reading this for fun, their brains are decoding how the computer (i.e. judges) will interpret it.

Perhaps your child runs when he gets the chance because he doesn't have enough chances with all the time spent strapped in a car seat or a stroller?

I have two kids and can't imagine forcing them into a car seat at least twice a day. Our walks around our neighborhood are some of our best time together. On the way to school they get exercise, run into friends, and build their auton

Oh my yes: whatever height is currently built is perfect, every currently vacant lot is a prize, etc. etc. But the GP spoke of single-use zoning, a slightly different cudgel. I understand the abstract appeal of dividing up a map into neatly

The critical difference is that an Option<T> is not a T, but a nil pointer is still a pointer. The stylistic difference is that the Rust type is semantic: your optional values are Options. The Go type is silly: why does being a pointe

That's absolutely a component of many laws in the United States. One pertinent example would be in case of a rear end collision.

> never seeing a single cyclist cited for the law breaking Every cyclist I know has at least one story of being pulled over by a cop for perfectly safe, oftentimes strictly legal riding. On the other hand, you'd be hard-pressed to f

If the list is so long that the whole thing isn't even included by default and you need to custom configure which entries appear on the list, it's not that much better than arbitrary values.

It's worth noting that this is the personal website of Heydon Pickering, a prolific (and opinionated!) writer and speaker on web design. He's the force behind Inclusive Components [0] and half of Every Layout [1]. Watch his videos

Your points about codifying business process and integrations are spot-on. The developer experience is sadistic, but Lightning is the worst. It takes forever to load basic information because it all has to cycle through JS callbacks. Try o
