I agree with the idea of not maintaining an intermediate representations of things that serve no useful purpose. But the pattern the author argues against isn't necessarily bad. Certainly not an "anti pattern" or against &q

I don’t know why you want to absolve the EU regulators. MS was trying to lock down the kernel because Windows was quite unstable due to all the buggy kernel software everyone was using. Security was a growing concern at the time, but it was

I've found the best way to rate and generate puzzles of a certain perceived difficulty is to have a solver that works the way a human does. So if you have a puzzle that can be solved using only techniques that interested people can com

Mistake isn't the right word. It's just a tradeoff. There was no perfect solution available, so a tradeoff was necessary. You can disagree with this particular tradeoff, but had they gone another way some people would disagree wit

I think the general answer is, it depends. Hopefully this tool gives a dev ready control of what kinds of differences to hide/show. I'm actually not convinced of the concept of semantic diff (not talking just about this tool speci

I didn't know about Mermaid. It looks nice. This post is a little confusing, though, because this isn't markdown. It's mermaid's own markdown-like syntax for graphs/charts. I wasn't expecting it to run client-s

Looks good. I've been using Cloudflare's thing ("tunnel", I think) for the basic functionality, but I see this does additional things. If I ever want to do those things (or I just decide I want to try something different

Your plan is to replace all the software written in C/C++ with... software that doesn't exist. It's good to criticize the current state of things, but don't pretend you have a solution. Also, do we know if rust would hav

I don't think people should restate the basic context of the thread for every post... That's a lot of work and noise, and probably the same people who ignore the thread context would also ignore any context a post provided.

Hmmm... considering that your current codebase became a Big Ball of Mud, is there any reason to think the same won't happen to your next codebase? Not that I'm saying don't rewrite. It will certainly be more fun and likely go

Well, a second call to "make" with unmodified source on a local system has the same resulting output because make knows how to avoid rebuilding output files when the source hasn't changed since the last build. The goal of rep

They are definitely redefining "idempotent" here, even from a software development standpoint. Since we already have "deterministic build" and "reproducible build" for this, there's no need to overload &qu

Your points draw the tension between two "competing" points. But none of these are black and white. There's a wide middle ground between each one... people can belong to multiple groups. A-holes will take any opportunity to b

The previous post's point is that they make their app's sync service as available to users as the app itself. "Forever" is the wrong word for any of this, but the sync service will live as long as the app does. (BTW, you

I think "a regular web app" is interactive... 3s would rarely be acceptable, much less 30s. Not that it never happens, but it should be rare enough that the cost of the lambda isn't the main concern. (Or if it's not rare

The thing is, the kind of people who become politicians at all are predisposed to this -- they are the kind of people who want to be in charge, to control, to decide. (It's not just the EU, it's everywhere.) Without pushback, poli
