One edge that PCs have is massive catalog. Consoles have historically not done so well with backwards compatibility (at most one generation). I don't do much console gaming but _I think_ that is changing. There is also something to be

There is a reason that the old saying is "reduce, reuse, recycle". The effectiveness is in that order: reduce consumption, reuse what you have, and recycle what you can no longer use. There is a very straightforward opportunity he

This article tries to provide cover for slamming DHH by opening with "this is a respectful debate". DHH, like anybody else, is imperfect. But the author acts like he is superior. He isn't. But I will say there is not much wor

This article has about as much insight as I would expect from a "nodejs-security.com" article. This article spends a good deal of time conflating two things: putting stuff in .env and using environment variables. The application-p

What happens when you need to link a file that does not support comments like that? For example, something which stores its config as plain JSON. Or how about when you want to symlink an entire directory? For example something like neovim,

Some use cases are described in the blog post. I have wanted a feature like this before and worked around it by replying to the email but sending the reply only to me.

I have recently started making a concerted effort to eat better due to high cholesterol. My BMI is in the normal range, but at the high end of normal. Given my recent experience eating better, I think junk is probably even worse than many

The fine doesn't even amount to a slap on the wrist. It's like if someone stole $1000 worth of merchandise from a store and the only punishment is a $1000 fine... and you get to keep what you stole. Why be law abiding when you cou

Worse than that, Rubocop will complain about things that change the meaning of your code. For example, Rubocop’s default configuration insists on calling “.zero?” over using “== 0”. Not all objects have a “.zero?” method, and even if they

Respectfully, I think your take that this "has nothing to do with the ultra wealthy" is exceptionally naive. We know with absolute certainty that much worse atrocities happen in places like Russia and China. What makes you think t

I think at least some of the battlefronts talked about by this blog post were started by the ultra-wealthy in the US to draw the peasants attention away from Occupy Wall Street. That was the last "big thing" before identity politi

What if everything were written in C? Or Python? Or Java? We'd have massive consistency across the software industry and yet that would be an absolutely terrible idea.

I have written type-annotated Python for as long as type annotations have been a thing. "Number of bugs will drastically increase" is simply wrong. Type checking prevents bugs before they ship.

I think there are two things being conflated here. One is: how do you effectively manage changes to a codebase over time? Git has a model that, for day-to-day use, has primitives like "commit", "branch", and "tag&qu

There has been a lot of push to commoditize software engineering. Unfortunately that has resulted in a swarm of people who want developer salaries without the work or expertise. Git definitely has some warts but you are right. It is an indu

Giant PRs that are squashed into one commit are an anti-pattern. Every commit should contain exactly one logical change AND a descriptive commit message. Unfortunately a good chunk of the industry doesn't have the discipline to do this
