On some level it makes sense. The problem with the command line is familiarity. How often do you reach for iptables? If you're like myself, and most home/desktop users, then probably once in a blue moon to set it up and then you l

I have coworkers on Mac that write node/JS code. Every once in awhile I'd pull down the latest code and it wouldn't run. I'm on Linux. Sure enough, they had SomeFile and were importing Somefile and it works fine on Mac b

JS land is a total shitshow, that's a given. But this sort of thing happens quite often outside NPM as well. If you're an author of a popular web browser extension then you've probably received emails from random shady people

yep. A place I worked at was doing the outsourcing thing back in 2010. They had almost immediate regret when they realized the skills of the developers did not meet their expectations and local law prevented the company from firing them wit

Obviously. This is not some technical marvel we're talking about. Google already tells you how to verify the site visitor is Googlebot[1], practically telling the world how to do cloaking. Google employees know Quora, Pinterest, etc. a

Why not a virtual machine? I've been doing that for nearly a decade now. Back when it was actually sort of painful. Now we have 32+ gigs of RAM and 8 core CPUs. You get snapshots and if your drive image is small enough you can toss it

If I understand correct, you're wondering how you might match "a bro do" with "a brown dog" or "a brown door", etc. Similar to what Google does. I've done this before. It's not a single data stru

Scheme reports lag, though. They usually codify what existing Scheme compiler/interpreters are already doing. I know I've seen plenty of Scheme code in the wild using square brackets interchangeably long before R6RS came out. You

how about the MAAAN. Because that's who we work for and who is keeping us all in line. Same as it ever was.

I don't see it either. The context switch between being in the zone/flow and writing the exact code I'm thinking of to suddenly reviewing blocks of foreign and quite possibly wrong code seems like a net negative value propo

hooks in general are a huge footgun. You need to place them at the preamble of your function (and not nested). They have to be named with "use" prefix (worth mentioning is React basically commandeered the entire "use" na

The death from a thousand papercuts. I'm not terribly convinced with memoization though. You're using extra memory, so it's not free optimization. We have Redux memoized selectors everywhere. I can't help but wonder how

I'm fairly certain that your Macbook is actually hibernating, and not merely suspending. This seems to be the case with my 2015 Macbook. Suspend alone will drain your battery. I have a Ryzen ThinkPad p14s with Linux. What you do is tur

I imagine this would just turn into everyone inserting 10 second pauses on the tests that fail. Which works, but now your suite doubles the run time. Actually turning nondeterministic tests into deterministic ones is... hard. Really hard in
