Am I the only one that finds the use of "stringify" as the method name to serialise a data structure a bit... unsavoury on the tongue? A touch Mickey Mouse? I always wondered why this word was chosen for something so "core&qu

I carry my laptop with me all the time when I go on holiday, when I travel with my family etc. I have too many obligations to leave it behind. Many times I carry it for nothing, but sometimes it's needed. If I could have a dev environm

I did a fair bit of work in this world of self sovereign identity a couple years ago. We abandoned the project because we felt it won't get adoption. We also embedded a verifiable credentials in a CRM making it as a platform to manage

Thank you for indulging my curiosity. I really hope your (and our world's) situation improves soon.

Can you elaborate on your situation? Which country are you in? How is crypto used there?

In the 90s I used to DJ Goa trance off DAT tapes. It was just a thing that was done in that genre. Later on I started producing music and all the masters were recorded into DATs (usually live playing full midi orchestration). A couple month

Not a constructive comment, but I find the name "Apptainer" doesn't really work. Rolls funny on the tongue and feels just "wrong" to me.

I'm in the UK and I don't feel ageism. Never did. I'm usually the oldest person in the team (49), and I've worked with people older than me. I'm a freelance contractor so I move around a fair bit. I do feel like my

I was referring to an explanation I heard, in the context of our own existence in this universe, where that explanation, in my opinion covers a 50-50 chance.

There are 2 options left - either the first 'real' world, or simulated and the last in a chain of worlds in simulation. That's pretty binary.

by harel 1y ago
One neat explanation I've heard is: If we are in a simulation at some point we would create our own simulation which at some point will create it's own simulation etc. If we had indeed created a simulation, the chances we ARE in a

Thanks for those tips. I used to code on a vic20 but only in basic. Assembly seemed like dark arts. I hope to correct that sentiment.

But none of these reasons should trigger a "I'm going to change this fundamental thing about x because I don't like it". I don't have anything against typing. I just get annoyed when it gets out of control in a lang

But most people in our profession get to choose their job, don't they? Why would a Python project hire a rust programmer? Why would someone who hates Python work on a Python project? I feel the same way. Sporadic use of type hints is n

I was happy I had a tape drive. 32K was rich-kid stuff. However, restriction was a great enabler of creativity, and I'm grateful for it.

The Vic-20 was my first computer, so it has a special place in my heart. It was a hand-me-down from an aunt at the time when the C64 was the star of the show, and I only had 2 games for it. My only option was to learn how to program. It was

An SPA is actually very suitable for this type of app. It was simple forms in the 00s, but it's not that anymore. First, in my case, the back end is an API (python). It is also serving mobile apps, and 3rd party integrations. Turbo is

It is. And it's very much domain dependant. One of my projects is a CRM application, which is a SPA. Years ago, I had a similar incarnation of that projects as a "traditional" html+js model. It works much much better as an SP

If you don't over complicate it, React apps are very simple. Emphasis on the very. The opposite is also correct. If you DO over complicate it, React apps are extremely complicated. Also, the SPA model works great for some apps and badl

I really wanted, and tried so hard to like this game. But it just didn't work for me. This visualisation though it very nice and I do wonder what was used to create the graph canvas UI?

Before I learned about SSH identities, I used to have a shell script sourced into my bashrc with a hashmap containing all my hosts and full connect string, so that I could `ssh hostname` like one does with SSH identities.

I second that. Emphasis on the "or less". Go straight to the point. No fluff.

I'm not arguing against types. I'm arguing against an extremely convoluted type system that is so complex it's practically a language on it's own. And it's sole existence is to make a dynamic language not dynamic.

I really truly hope that one day optional types are introduced to the EcmaScript/JavaScript spec. My only reason for saying that, and I know it's the unpopular view, is that I actually LIKE JavaScript and think TypeScript is a mes
