I had no idea. Thanks!

Why do the tyres matter regarding safety?

Yes exactly. And yeah Django automatically maps transactions inside transactions to savepoints.

Having worked in the ClimateTech sector for a few years (and with no intention to stop) - I can definitely emphasize with the potential for burnout. It's really ease to start caring immensely about your work, which can be great - but a

> try to write _all_ your tests without ever having to truncate/delete tables between tests. I've had really good success with running tests like this the way django does it, where you run your entire test within a migration, a

Yes if you can migrate them to .netstandard2.0 you can run them on both .net framework and the newer core/.net5/6 releases. I've just done this exact migration path myself for a legacy application

Not switching to another distro is probably just inertia - I like a lot of stuff about Fedora and I'm used to it. Honestly most of the addons are just cosmetic and minor UI stuff, but I don't really want to "downgrade" w

That's a pretty cynical interpretation of someone helping someone else out.

And here I am still on Fedora 33 because all of the GNOME addons I use still don't work with anything newer than that.

Why? In what world does using software to marginalize people or mislead the public create a better world?

It is for me - sometimes trying out/typing out a solution is the fastest way for me to get a feel for if it'd actually work in practice.

I've seen this argument before and I don't think I agree. Surely there's a lot of times when I program that are heavy into thinking, but there's also a lot of mechanical work. Refactoring? Typing speed will help you. Goi

I don't think that the Linux kernel has decided (yet) to allow rust code into the kernel proper, has it?

I read a lot about pension funds still being able to invest in oil and gas because they take "active ownership" in trying to get those companies to do a green transition. I honestly think it's a smoke screen. The boat has sai

I was actually pretty disappointed in Heat Signature. It really felt like at some (very quick) point progression in items tapered off and then everything was just kind-of-the-same.

Agree as well. Not necessarily on the pros/cons list, but there's definitely a few gotchas here I didn't know about.

The minimum wage part is true (but the article never claims Denmark has) - I'm not 100% sold on your thesis - unions still definitely have real power, look at the nemlig.com scandal that's currently going on. It's probably de

I honestly think the newer ECMAScript features with static blocks, private fields are a little strange. I get that some people really want JavaScript to be object-oriented - but I wonder if we wouldn't be better off embracing and bui

That's a fair statement - I think it then comes down to: Can you by law in Switzerland order someone to serve malicious JavaScript, or only to e.g. deliver information you already have?

That's not true at all? Their selling point is also that they have end-to-end encryption that they can't breach - so your emails can't be grabbed by a government actor.

I agree. The author obviously considers "wokeness" stupid as hell, but hides with the thinnest veneer of neutrality.

Generally construction and materials. Particularly for offshore the supportive infrastructure and maintenance takes up a big chunk of the cost - the expectation is that those costs won't scale with turbine size.

I think there's also a third option - that the deadline energizes. I've been in teams, where the team as a whole set a completely arbitrary deadline for the functionality they'd like to have done by a given time - and that wo

You smack import taxes on them that correspond to the carbon tax that should have been + 10%. Then they can either do the carbon tax or have their exports made much, much more expensive.

Sometimes I absolutely do not go back. If I'm the middle of filling out a complex form e.g., and a link nukes the form history. If it wasn't that important to me I might not go back and refill it.

Honestly I think this is very dependent on what bubble you end up in. There's isn't really any outrage anywhere in my feed.

Speaking from practice in a country where unions are also a traditional thing (Denmark), in fact so traditional our whole way of working and negotiating salary is based on it - I think strong unions are a wonderful thing that benefits the w
