Slightly off-topic: Is it ok to say "ex-French" president in English? (Rather than French ex-president). I'm not a native but to me it reads like the guy stopped being French.

Have you considered favoring languages and environments that work well for you? Strongly typed languages, static analysis, good linting tools, etc. The more things caught by your machine, the less you have to take care of. You could also tr

In case the question isn't facetious: Go's main advantage, IMO, is that is both simple and opinionated to the extreme. It's a language that makes a lot of choices for you (from "no while loop" through "no excep

Perhaps I should have clarified that I meant better in a UX sense. Those cons you mention definitely do exist, they're an emergent problem of the conversations and communities that arise, but opinion bubbles never seem to be a bottlene

I think the main improvement of reddit over message boards was just the small but extremely useful concept of messages being ordered by votes in a tree format. Nostalgia aside, navigating a flat, chronologically ordered message board post i

Speaking as a young(ish) dev, I think the issue with SPAs is that it's that its use has been conflated with separation of concerns and agnostic backend dev. What I mean by that is that the way we learned is that the old/wrong way

Microsoft is pushing for a future with dumb terminals and online services. I think this is just a move that gets them closer to the point where a low power tablet/laptop combo (surface like form factor) can be all that a developer need

Yup (I’m a Spaniard as well). Take this with a grain of salt as I’m talking from memory, but I think he’s acted as a middleman with North Korea to set up trips to the country for tourism, including for some Spanish journalists that were t

Wow.. I was expecting random sexist comments, not lynching threats ( not that the former are good, but that's a whole different league).

If you don't mind me asking (and this is clearly a sensitive topic so feel free not to reply): What do you mean by PTSD and flashbacks? As in, was the trip so bad that remembering it creates anxiety, or are you reliving unrelated traum

costs aside, I wonder how useful it is. The average reading speed is about a page every 1-2 minutes (for non technical texts). 100.000 pages would then be a 800-1600 hour read, which is about half a year for a person spending 8 hours a day

I think the issue is that abreviations and acronyms are mostly ok only when its meaning is so widespread it's unmistakable - but then again, an acronym never reaches that state at birth.

I find the article kinda weird - that it needs explanation, I mean. Aren't oaths as described in the article common in the us? Here in Spain you'll usually hear things like "I swear by my mom" (with the implication, some

I think there's great value in learning to use a lightweight editor, a compiler or interpreter, the command line, etc. I also think that Java is perhaps the worst possible choice for that. It's a language created with the "bu

keep in mind that a store is just a frontend for several supply chains. The workers making the product might stop, the transporters might as well, and even the workers that refill the shelves might stop refilling non essential goods.

I'd tell you to give it a go, it can't hurt. But for your use case I'd consider the Essence of linear algebra series by 3blue1brown, which is free on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQD

Nah, I am aware of how broad the Spanish language is, but these were basic mistakes that wouldn't be correct in any dialect. Kinda like how Americans might not know British English vocabulary, yet they know at a glance that "me wi
