i wish miller columns were more popular. i did a search for linux. there are a few minor in development or abandoned file managers that have them. dolphin dropped them in 2012 because they were not used enough and to much work to maintain f

i don't think this is helpful. it is pay towards ownership, whereas rent isn't.

languages ideally should not have breaking changes ever. on the other hand, a language with frequent breaking changes should not be considered production ready. people are of course free to live on the edge, and if someone decided that zig

can you elaborate please? the way i read this it directly contradicts what you say here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48903436 “hooche Leit” is PA dialect for standard German “hohe Leute,” literally “high people” i

good point. LLM code doesn't even do that.

the reason is that php was accessible. it provided the bridge between pre coded serverside includes and writing your whole website in code, which you would have had to do with any other language. nowadays many things that php made easy can

the problem is that a lot of AI use is done blindly. how much of that bun rewrite in rust was verified by a human?

having this talk over dinner sounds nice :-) german law or courts operate more on common sense than the letter of the law. to be able to reject a task from your boss the task has to be unreasonable. training/mentoring is not unreasonab

ok, so because of that you manually export changes you want to publish to a new repo? i'd start separating the repos. personally i would be uncomfortable using a repo that the developer does not use for their own development. if you ev

The notion that an experienced person should automatically consider mentorship to be part of their job is not backed by any code or contract that I'm aware of. every job i had, every developer i hired. it is also backed by german law

that doesn't make much sense. why go out of your way to publish a selected history instead of the whole work?

i don't know that crispin rant sounds pretty reasonable to me. it's not insulting and the argument is coherent. he has a point.

i think what the chaos did was enable more individual contributors. you didn't have to join the BSD team to get a core OS tool accepted into the system. anyone could just mix and match the tools and apps they liked. it's not that

sure there are always options. but they may not be visible or accessible. maybe they can not or don't want to move because of family. maybe there are no alternative jobs in the area, maybe they hate teaching. seriously, the only sane r

if this is the experience in a team, then the team already has a problem. i expect these things to be made clear up front. when someone joins a team they should be assigned a mentor whom they can ask any question, no matter how dumb, and th

well you were asking how to get out of the game. leaving facebook is one of the necessary steps. it may not be enough, and some things from you may still be tracked by meta, but less is better. it's as simple as that. i do have sympath
