Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Training and technical security measures shouldn't be treated as alternatives. Even trained programmers produce bugs and security issues, if at least some of them can be prevented by an additional safety net, then it would be stupid no

> Well done on inlining the stylesheets. Having zero subresources has a way bigger effect on page load time than people tend to expect. Is that still true with HTTP/2 (or newer)?

This is really enough to make it on the front-page of Hacker News? Posting a link to a programming language that is around for 16 years and not exactly an insider tip.

It looks like Elon wants X to die the martyr's death. He could as well pull the plug today ... X is doomed.

"zip" as a metaphor for compressing something makes even less sense than the zip in functional programming - actually "zip" for compression doesn't make any sense at all. But maybe zip in the context of compression

This could have been an article worth reading, instead it is chunked in tweets (or whatever they are named now) on X. I'd be interested in the topic, but hate the reading experience to much to read it.

"statii" doesn't exist. It is "status" (with a long u) or "statuses".

I miss the old web, where everyone had a little website at (sometimes small) web hosting company and had everything under control. Blogspot is not the first blogging platform that disappears and won't be the last. Maybe, there is somet

As far as I understood, they are using Gradle as back-end only to test the idea. If it works as intended, Gradle would be replaced by a new build tool.

I like the idea, but I don't like that this is one more system that should be configured with YAML! Why not something cleaner and more robust like TOML? https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-do

I have experienced both sides. First, I've written my own generator in Python (about 300 lines) but the code was not exactly maintainable and adding features like tagging was hard. So, I looked around and picked up Hugo. While I don&#x

Is there an advantage over AsciiDoc? In my opionion AsciiDoc is really powerful and offers anything an author of academic papers (and blog posts) would need. The output is also not limited to html.

Maybe we should go back to pay for software. I'm willing to pay for new Android releases if I could use my phone longer. This would be fair for both sides: the manufacturer would earn money with the software and I would save money for

You asked for JS (JavaScript) and you got a lot of suggestions for books or other resources about that language. But I suggest to not spend too much time with JS and learn TypeScript instead. It will make your life easier, because the compi

Why has D failed to get momentum? Some years ago (maybe 15?) there was some buzz around this language, which looks like a nice improvement for many C or C++ use cases (but not all!). The language makes a more ergonomic impression than Go, f

The sweet spot for percent values is pretty sure between -1 and +1 ... 6000 % is just ridiculous. I'd suggest 60000 ‰ instead!

Scala had a lot of implicit stuff before Scala 3, but while very powerful it was also very tricky and hard to understand at times. In Scala 3 there is still a lot of implicit features, but a bit less powerful and with a bit more explicit sy

I can only recommend not to use Markdown for larger projects like books (at least not scientific or tech books). Markdown simply doesn't provide the structural elements you'd need. AsciiDoc is a much better fit.
