If you're that pessimistic about your front-end code becoming obsolete, I'd strongly suggest looking into ClojureScript with https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent and (if you need SPA levels of coordinat

I'm really enjoying Pop! OS. It's Ubuntu (and I installed the default ubuntu-desktop over Pop's), but it has its own "store" with .debs and flatpaks, no snaps. It's still possible to accidentally install a snap

It's also pretty common to leave a REPL running for days or months in development.

Since you work at Google, you should be well aware of the deprecations. You don't need evidence of their existence, you just don't see it as a problem. Which you are free to do, since it's not a problem for you, it's jus

Oh, I misunderstood what you meant by mothballed. Still, that is honestly a good example of why AWS is so much more reliable than GCP. AWS will keep the service running as-is even if they don't make any changes to it. GCP would just de

Can you give an example of a real ecosystem that can't handle such a conflict? In my actual experience, the package manager will either automatically use the latest version, or in one case has more complex rules but still picks a versi
