I think disabling blog comments makes sense these days. In my previous experience managing a wordpress blog, 90% of comments were garbage and the most meaningful discussions happened on platforms where discussions are a natural fit (reddit,

It doesn't have to be an exclusive or. I use the CLI for most things, but a GUI when it makes sense (like you mentioned, staging specific hunks). I find that for the most part, my CLI workflow is so straightforward I rarely get in an &

No, the dosage is the hash rate (if more hash rate joins, the difficulty is automatically adjusted to keep it at 1 blocks / 10 min). The transaction output is constant, and market cap is irrelevant to the energy inefficiency discussion

"because the people want them to" is a bit of an oversimplification to say the least. The people, influenced by media, various factions and their own interest, vote for people who then may or may not do things that "the peopl

Have you tried to see how that's a useful practice or are you just angry at the name? It is indeed a form of testing, specifically failure/latency injection testing in production systems. It allows you to test hypotheses and fallb

Thank you for following up! I'm glad we were able to get past the surface misunderstanding

Ok this makes sense. So the way we do this with Nebula + the dependency locking plugin is that we specify a version constraint for each dependency. Typically that would be something like latest.release for internal dependencies, major.+ for

That... sounds like a lot of work

I have lost countless notebooks and other notes on paper. For those I haven't lost, I find it really hard to find what I'm looking for. I started consolidating my note-taking in google docs and haven't looked back.

I think I see your point, but this is where we disagree fundamentally: > the fact that manually specifying version numbers to avoid running newer code is commonplace, expected, and a “best practice” horrifies me I think version pinning

No mention of Java, but I feel like this works reasonably well: https://github.com/nebula-plugins/gradle-dependency-lock-plu... You specify what version constraint you want for each dependency (latest.release, major.+,
