I don't consider it broken, I was referring to political will to build the healthy base of a developer ecosystem. But, you've inspired me to do a deeper historical and technical deep dive of the filesystem event space. Thank you.

Yes, but San Francisco also has a large tourist population. Speaking of targeted, this public project almost feels like it was designed to piss off conservatives. Which is a shame, because older tourists are a big segment of the market th

Speaking of college and all nighters, I'm reminded of the work patterns of teachers. Particularly primary education teachers. They put in immense amounts of work during the school year. In exchange for that summer vacation. And pay

Just in spite of this comment I'm going to name all my futures : bitch_please I invite spirited debate on this change request. Is it an attempt to police the behavior of the async runtime? As a non-mainstream user of a minority langua

I continually find new features of programming languages. Covid, my time in this house, and the people I was with, gave me a chance to explore Scheme and CLOS derivatives (GOOPS). It's a joy to work with, and it helps me understand Ru

Somebody up above mentioned the land grab smell of the DID spec. So what's different this time? gRPC, protobuf and GraphQL are out there vs. SOAP or CORBA? Some new thing about to rev up? Just plain old loss aversion? Lambda? We ne
