To be fair, most programmers are code monkeys. But that's true for most people in any profession. It's not a fair comparison to compare the average worker to workers of excellence.

The lesson from the book is that users will always form a mental model of how the machine works. That's fine even if it's wrong, as long as it works. But when things don't work and users have faulty assumptions about what may

99% of the content is made by 1% of the users, so I don't think this logic applies. Most reddit users do not participate in discussions, they only consume content.

So you're running eval on your config data? Not feasible for external data.

Yaml is generally derided as too complex and transforming data in unintended ways. I see a lot of Rust programmers preferring RON over TOML because it is much less complex and doesn't have multiple ways to express the same thing https

I have read a lot on this topic, visited museums in Hiroshima and Nagasaki etc. I'd urge you to compare this article to others, because I bluntly think the author has no idea what he's talking about and just glued together various

Strategic bombing is mentioned in the Wikipedia article, was attempted and didn't bring the desired results. There were large logistic problems and it took longer than expected to build a forward base.

And the first one was likely to be a dud, thereby completely removing the psychological effect from further atomic bombs, of which there was only one for the next couple months.

The US was afraid that the first bomb wouldn't explode properly because of its high failure rate. If the first use of this super weapon had been a dud, they feared that this would feed into Japanese propaganda, and a second bomb wouldn

My school education about this was also essentially "bombs are bad, kids". The Wikipedia article ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_a... ) is actually quite enlightening in this matter

The algebraic effects link made my head spin.. So webdevs go from synchronous, to callback hell, to async await, to callfrom? I start to understand more and more why I see so many frontend devs learn about Rust as an alternative for the nea

Nah, you missed the main point, it doesn't deal with exceptions. But since you misuse the downvote feature after I looked for the video and timestamp for you, I guess you don't want to be proven wrong anyway. Have a nice day.

Opining on things without reading the article becomes really obvious when there's an article about a non-trivial idea, but people only comment on the surface level attributes. E.g. an article about coding style may opine that as long a

This is the last straw for me personally. At this point what Mozilla claims to do and what they actually do does not seem to match. They rally against Google etc, but then install and reinstall Pocket etc on updates, claim to support free s

I think this is mostly a result of the OOP ethos to think of actions on single objects, where each function call created a log message. This is then called in a loop. Meanwhile the general case is actually that actions are performed on a co
