We need a word for these snake-swallowing-its-tail indirect abstractions we keep building. I have problem X, so I solve with abstraction a. Then I have problem Y, so I build b on a. Then to solve Z I build c on b on a. Then we discover a pr

I'd never even heard of pornhub until you degenerates told me about it. I had to look it up. Apparently "porn" is short for "pornography"?

Pornhub needs to be small. Jira will download once then be loaded locally until it gets updated, just like an offline app. Pornhub will be run in incognito mode, where caching won't help.

XSLT was one of the things that brought me to React indirectly over a decade ago. I wanted to runs something like apply-templates (components) and that got me looking at XHP. That was the inspiration for JSX which became popular via react.

Plain English is a terrible way to express ourselves clearly and unambiguously. That's why programming languages exist.

I left big corporate tech a decade ago, and it was true then too. You'd get bonuses and stellar performance reviews for fixing big, high-visibility problems, or many small ones that amounted to little more than clients asking us to loo

Maybe, but what percentage of those branding themselves "WP Developer" are decent? I've had to unravel a fair number of plugins where they'd crammed everything behind a single action , or under one big theme.

Last two WP updates I did were essentially downloading the site with firefox's "save site as", running prettier on it, and setting up a basic netlify for what's now a static site. HN is quick to talk about "the righ

Often the rates I'll end up limiting in rest aren't even bottlenecks at all in graphql. like if I wanted to grab a relationship that hasn't been implemented with its own resource endpoint. e.g. get all the comments in every a

The split may come from Pence, interestingly enough. It didn't take much for Trump to malign his VP two weeks from the end of his term. Pence was chosen to satisfy the evangelicals, who are another similar group to the MAGAs in that th

This is most Indian web apps, I find. The article is great because it ties it the well known failures in implementation to massive legal, bureaucratic, and cultural problems. India has no shortage of talented programmers. I find it hard eno

You start by accusing him of using a strawman, then using an analogy which doesn't even remotely apply. It's closer to your neighbour selling you the rights to park in their garden, then you selling those rights to someone else. F

Git's hard when you see googling for syntax as a failure in the system. If you see getting SO answers as working as designed, it's quite easy. The main learning curve is just the idea of everything being branched, which is an incr

Yeah, I probably have been a lazy member of the greater dev community because I learned a lot of these things but never blogged about it myself. Juniper for graphql is a big missing piece from that page -- gql is big enough as an alternativ

My company Clausehound has completely moved its legal tech contract analysis and version control platform onto rust, and launched a couple months ago. It's been fantastic. We're a similar setup to a lot of the top links on there (

This is a HUGE distinction that gets glossed over because it's hard to see the implication from a headline. A lot of his critics pointing to his "bankruptcies" had focused on businesses going bust. So, fair enough, his casino

I did Java dev for a while, after being C before then. I felt like everything needed a pile of typecasting in front of it to work, even though these were often objects for classes you'd think should all play nicely. I realized only aft

If most business-side people actually knew what weak typed languages meant for their company, I can't imagine so many of them going for php/js as often as they do. You're always one expression with a `$contact` instead of a `

My personal favourite omnipresent php vars are `$data` and `$value`. Like, no shit, what else are you storing in variables?

I feel like knowing some COBOL would be a handy thing considering how much of it is still hanging around. My main problem is that it's easy to find toy examples of doing some simple things, but all the value is in supporting massive, d

Maybe it's because the banks are all pretty good and modern in Canada, but I honestly just don't get PayPal. My credit cards are all very easy to pay with, fraud detected quickly and easy to dispute, and many purchase types insure

The people here posting about how clever/careful they are, which is why they haven't been scammed, are the ones I see as most likely to get scammed (if they haven't been already without realizing). You're best protection

Ah. If anything, the whole "rust as better than C for everything" thing is starting to hurt its reputation, regardless of veracity. People get so focused on its use in perf-critical applications they ignore its other strengths. eg

futures is definitely the big one for me. Getting all concurrency fully on async/awaits is amazing, e.g. actix-web awaiting an endpoint calling juniper for graphql, with async resolver methods making async calls against my DB, without
