You want an obsessive non-perfectionist? You find it necessary to say that it's rare to find near-perfect employees? Managers, man.

I am a native speaker (of south-west English English, no less) and it does look a bit odd to me too – but apparently both are normal. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/anytime

Certainly debatable copy, but in total fairness that page is a list of actually-Open-Source licensed projects.
366.
by dwb 3y ago
Sure. I wasn't really trying to insinuate anything, although I think in a more-ideal world the licensing arrangements of all projects would be in a prominent place, especially if they use a "Star us on GitHub" call-to-action.

Depends on project requirements of course and it's been a little while since I used them in anger, but sounds like Rails and Postgres are still going strong so I'd probably pick those. If something like React was strictly necessar

That's a really stupid interview question. I would be angry to have wasted my time with a company that asked me that.

I have designed and built something that could be described as a microfrontend system (though it's much more restrictive than "do what you like within this part of the page") and though it's been pretty successful I agre

That might solve it for the one business “you” start. It doesn’t address the collusion of everyone else, does it?

“We”? Adverts aren’t some mutually beneficial utility that more or less everyone is interested in saving.

Mainstream linguistics is descriptive and not prescriptive; language is language. By far its most important aim is to be understood. It may be that “open source” shifts in meaning in the future, but this comments section is evidence that mi

Is someone identifying themselves part of ”identity politics”?

For clarity, could you give your definition of “woke” please?

by dwb 3y ago
I know it’s (usually, mostly) implied, but one of my dearest wishes for programming discourse is for people to say that something is more/less readable for them rather than declaring it a universal.

The Black Rock Desert is way more remote (certainly from Reno, and possibly even from Gerlach) than any British music festival I've been to, I'd much rather get stuck in your average British mud than the lake-bed clay that's

Oh for sure, I agree, and I've blindly imported reams of elisp dependencies myself!

I mean I think if you compare to, say, VSCode, writing any amount of [Emacs] Lisp to customise anything at all is "hard". I like it! It means I can customise more or less whatever I like, but it's a different universe.

The joke is that it's overly complicated to do a simple thing in Emacs, and you have to rely on blindly running shakily-trustworthy third-party code to do that thing for you. (I like Emacs very much, I use it every day, but there is a

I'm from the UK, I just happen to agree with the RFC, as (I'm certain) would the vast majority of my peers and co-workers. I'm happy to let any readers of this thread judge my comments as they stand.

Okay, well, you clearly have an unusual interpretation. Enough people agree that leader/follower is more agreeable than master/slave, and even if you don't agree surely you can see where they are coming from. That's part
