Do you use gmail? Gmail restricts the amount of mails that a single sender can send, so sometimes mailing lists have to retry until gmail lets them send (this is a paint point for the Linux kernel mailing list)

I have never spent much time learning debuggers honestly. I'm not sure if what I want exists: I would love to have a debugger that offers a partial text editor experience, eg. it shows my code, I move the cursor to some statement, then

This is the case for pretty much every open source project. See eg. Openssl. Since open source can be used for free, there is very little incentive to change the current situation. And with non copy left licences it can be even worse. The o

We are lucky that this is a link to the mailing list, and you can read the answers. Tech "journalists" read all mails from Linus and try to create click-baity articles from them, completely ignoring the context.

I have visited the pijul site 2 or three times, every time I would start reading about a "sound mathematical theory", get bored, and close the tab. To this date I still don't know what pijul is trying to do and why I should b

Something that would have prevented this from the beginning: PGP signed commits. Important projects should use it, no matter how annoying is the extra setup.

Real economics is boring for most people and the only way to make it attractive to the masses is to be sensationalistic. Mainstream financial news has never been good and never will be.

That's like having a field full of mines and then arguing that the field is not dangerous because you have a map of the mines. If you have to develop strict coding standards not just to write reliable code but to avoid the pitfalls of

The thing I miss the most from the reviewing process is the ability to review diffs per-commit. This is closer to how git is used in the linux mailing lists but gitlab completely breaks that workflow. Github has added some support for that.

The verbatim mode is exactly what most people here are missing. But, for some reason, it's something that can't be configured - you need to set it in every new search. Three freaking clicks. I don't understand what goes on co

There is filosofia.org for an Spanish equivalent. The looks are not the most modern in some places (it was created in 1996) but it's actively updated. Managed by the Gustavo Bueno foundation.

One of the things I often see in Rust is comparisons with C++ "It's simpler than C++!". Yeah, Rust could become a bloated mess and still be simpler than C++. It's like saying that a mountain is not high because it's

How is this different from any other certification? In IT, many people starts their career with certifications and without a degree. Get a MCSE/RHCSA/CCNA/AWS cert and you can get entry level jobs without a degree. This is no

This is true in many areas (California), but not in others. There are ghost residential areas in many countries. In 2004 in Spain 675.000 house starts - more than UK, Germany and France combined (45 millions citizens in Spain vs 80+65+65).

The people "in charge" of C are just not interested in radical changes - they have not even bothered to add better strings. There was a recent post here describing how the C standard bodies even oppose adding warnings, because it
