I believe it’s original. Open source and passed along through a few leads, but last I saw it’s actively developed and has quite the following.

I don’t disagree with your line of thought, but found it interesting the the OP specifically mentioned cost but not scarcity. Or rather scarcity of candidates that meet an employers criteria—criteria that may be unrealistic or out of touch.

I think awareness, agency, and intent are also factors here. In your and the OPs examples: - CEO should have a large amount of agency and awareness of the situation, meaning they should be on the hook for severe negligence at the least. I

I was confused as well. First impression: nothing. Get up and look with both eyes and there it was. Interesting stuff.

No night shift, for what it’s worth. Another commenter mentioned astigmatism, which I do have. I was not wearing my glasses at the time. Curious to see if anybody with expertise on the topic of optics or visual perception chimes in with som

I do have an astigmatism in my right eye—which was also closed. First time I’ve had this happen with an optical illusion, though.

I was in bed reading this with an eye closed and was very confused until I discovered the illusion works for me only when I watch it with both eyes open. I found this surprising—I know three dimensional optical illusions depend on focus and

I found this video pretty interesting. It goes into a lot of detail around the techniques used to build tunnels through water-bearing rock.

I've seen some of this as well, though through my own anecdotal experience people in my life I've seen struggle with drugs do or did so because: 1. Ongoing health issues they can't afford to resolve. Chronic pain. Mental heal

Thank you for sharing, I've gone through similar and can absolutely relate. I'm curious—do these business owners you work for have any software or management experience in tech? I've sometimes seen managers do this when they

I suspect the RIAA might even be favor of supporting recommendation services—after all, matching people to music they like promotes music sales. RIAA members have a strongly vested interest in selling more music.

This gave me both a good groan and chuckle. You're pointing out a place where I think many software engineers are either untrained, unprofessional, or both. There's already a large body of discourse around the problems that come f

I don't think this reflects the OP's concern: It's not that code-reuse is bad in and of itself, it's that the code being reused is being reused without maintenance or review.

You're correct, but I believe this line of thinking is a simplification. If you operate a public company and your shareholders demand a return, odds are you'll have a board that's going to force you to have specific policies.

This can be more complicated in certain industries where a relationship with a credit agency is otherwise required. I worked at a fintech b2b lending company a while back that worked closely with all the big agencies and I distinctly recall

Cheap power enables a lot of things, like synthesis of fertilizers or the ability to cheaply desalinate water. It won’t fix these crisis directly, but it would reduce or remove a lot of the contributing factors.

RSS mainly failed because the predominant model for funding content creation is ads. Sadly, RSS is a poor medium for ads—to get more revenue, content creators were incentivized to bring users to their own sites rather than syndicating rich

Did I miss something? I didn’t see anything explicitly stated, but I took that number to mean that Wasabi was doing simple port enumeration—there are only 65,535 ports that need to be checked to enumerate a TCP network interface. Edit: I di

How does this dynamic of grace vs forgiveness interact with genuine feelings of guilt? There are times in life where we (or people around us) fuck up. Genuine remorse occurs and receiving forgiveness can bring closure as it can signal that

This really depends a lot on context and there's no right or wrong answer here. If you're working on something safety critical you'll want correctness every time . For most things short of that it's a trade-off between

I think this may be a misattribution of what soaks up time: is it the change itself or the friction of the process of making that change? e.g. code changes are easy but merging and build procedures take a log of time, encouraging larger bat

What’s more is that the identities of those people need to be protected lest they be bombarded constantly for lab studies or requests for life saving donations. Many counties have laws about paying for blood donations and don’t allow donors

I've seen a surprising number of Rust web frameworks cropping up which may be encouraging use of the language at higher levels in the application stack. I could absolutely see somebody familiar with Rust reaching for it to do something

I think this has more to due with the contexts/industries we typically see Python used in over pure popularity. If popularity was the only factor I'd expect to seeing a lot more news about these problems in Java/PHP ecosystem

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t POSIX dictate a text stream as STDIN/STDOUT? If my understanding is correct, this basically rules out any attempts to create richer CLI pipelines that necessitate other kinds of data interchange. II

The ability to infer types from NPM packages. If you have existing codebases with non-trivial apps, reworking all your dependencies makes the prospect of picking up Deno a non-starter. My understanding is prior to this release the Deno LSP

by d4mi3n 4y ago
Better IDE support is huge. I know a lot of devs who liked the idea of Deno but weren't in a position to dump a lot of their development tooling to pick it up, so this effectively removes a big barrier to adoption for a lot of folks. E

Do we have any sense of how much of this is driven by privacy regulation? Newer versions of Windows have been more aggressive about collecting user information, so this would not at all surprise me.
