But as I said, you control that infra. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect your sysadmins, devops, platform engineers, or whatever title you choose to give them, to set up these services correctly, given it’s their job to do so and th

I get the GPs suggestion is non-conventional but I don’t see why it would cause caching issues. If you’re sending over TLS (and there’s little reason why you shouldn’t these day) then you can limit these caching issues to the user agent and

I learned scala due to load testing with Gatling. I’ve always hated Java but Scala was super fun.

Obviously macro communities exist that differ in etiquette. I was just responding to the generalisation made by the GP.

Mr Beast isn’t the internet. He’s a TV show host. And there’s been exploitative TV shows for decades. This isn’t a format Mr Beast invented. As for security, that was always an issue. Malware, denial of services attacks, etc aren’t a recent

How far back are we talking? 90s? 80s? 70s? For the 70s, I would agree with you. But the moment home users, and particularly kids, gained access to the internet, you started to see a subculture of trolling. Source: I was one of those 80s ki

My point is you cannot have any fact based discussions because statistics are generalised whereas people’s ability to thrive in office or remote work depends deeply on both the company culture and the individual. Thus it is always going to

Remote work isn’t for everyone. Their point of view is just as valid as your point of view. And this is my biggest complaint about arguments about remote working. People turn it into something that’s evidence-based when actually it’s a deep

That makes a lot more sense than the stupid approach like America (and I’m sure other countries too) where they consider the company a person and thus all that actually happens is a fine, that almost always amounts to several orders of magn

Are you sure it’s not meant to be an RJ45 plug? The cylindrical thing to the bottom left corner of the wall socket looks like it might be a BNC plug. Which would make sense for the era of quake when Ethernet wasn’t yet ubiquitous.

To be honest I never liked the community much. But back then I still stubbornly clinging to smaller, more specialised communities (plus OSNews.com haha)

What’s not clear to me for either the readme nor their website, is how does this actually work? With Electron, for example, a stripped down Chromium is shipped. So what does the web view rendering with this package?

I do get your sentiment, but you could have picked some better examples: > Could be an only child In which case, odds are that they're also the first child ;) > or the spouse is stay-at-home Which is a full-time job in itself &gt

Not the OP, but yeah that used to bother me when I was younger. As did any CRTs running below 75hz My “super power” used to be that I could tell what refresh rate a VDU was operating at just by looking at it. Well, I couldn’t tell past 80hz

More likely, what we will see is the decline of low effort projects. The JavaScript/ Typescript ecosystem has been plagued with such packages. But that’s more anomalous to the JS community than it is a systemic problem with open source

Yes. Because if unrelated industries decide to give up then a theoretical collapse becomes an unavoidable economic collapse. And history has proven that war usually follows economic collapses. So literally the best thing Valve could do here

That seems like a silly reason not to do something educational. Build something for fun. Build it for yourself. If people want to use it then they’ll use it. But more likely they won’t. The only thing I would advise against is building some

I don’t agree it needs to provide a solution off the bat. But I do agree there is some initial weights you need to define. With a AI-first language, I suspect the primitives to be more similar to assembly or WASM rather than something human

I didn’t miss his point. Back in the 70s, many of the new languages were just a subtle variation on the previous one. It’s only later they evolved into something distinctive. Which is why I said we’d still be using FORTRAN. Languages that s

by hnlmorg 1y ago
You’re missing my point. I’m not criticising FORTRAN nor assembly. I’m saying that people wouldn’t have created C, Java, Python, Pascal, BASIC, and so on and so forth if everyone said “why bother creating a new language when we already hav
