One big reason I rely on Make: its old. Make has been well maintained for nearly 50 years, and is deeply integrated into the programming ecosystem as a whole. I can start a new project that relies on Make, and be extremely confident that Ma

And Calculus was invented 300 years ago. It still works. This attitude is extremely toxic to the development community. "Its old" is NOT valid criticism. "Its new" is NOT valid praise.

The article says that a "Living Wage" for Manhattan is $43.18 / hour, or around $86k base salary. Maybe Manhattan COL is insane, but I have a hard time imagining that $86k is not enough to live on _anywhere_. Maybe you will

Maybe if we mandated that everyone buy a hula hoop, people would find creative uses for them. That's not a great way to steer public policy.

It's not like I have a problem with symmetrical connections. I have a symmetrical fiber setup. People who need to upload will choose a plan with it. I just think _legally mandating that every connection be symmetrical_ is a mistake. Mo

They are that they way for a reason. Legacy copper infrastructure only offers so much bandwidth, and customers would rather have most of that bandwidth be for download.

I disagree. The vast majority of people are never going to need or care about hosting a decentralized hoozywhatsit. Mandating technical decisions that cause waste is suboptimal. You get symmetrical speeds with fiber, but if ISPs could use t

Yeah, we would have invented a tech stack that is actually good. JavaScript+ HTML is just about the worst option imaginable if you were to design a cross platform gui application runner from the ground up.

This is the first I'm hearing of this, so I might be missing some information, bit I don't understand how this is Twilio's fault or responsibility. Your service got hit with a ddos-style attack that translated into you using

Chat-GPT and StableDiffusion aren't perfect. They still produce weird responses or visual artifacts sometimes. But, it can be easy to move past these idiosyncrasies. I think the brain is just more sensitive to speech, because inflectio

A kindergarden teacher is not "guilty of unlawful detainment" when they stop a toddler from wandering out of the classroom. A mother is not "guilty of unlawful detainment" by housing their young child. OP has not made so

No, its not. Its an r/IAmVeryClever comment. You may as well accuse mothers themselves as unlawfully imprisoning their children against their will, either born or unborn.

Do you have a feel for how large a file has to be for an IDE to choke on it? My vim setup can open a 13GB file in about ten seconds, with all syntax highlighting, line numbers, etc working. Once the file is open, editing is seamless. Bitbuc

We could, yeah. I'm sure you're capable of re-writing everything you do twice. It's just a huge waste of time. You get just as much benefit by assigning a performance refactor to an engineer when needed vs literally halving o
