I'm not sure if you're actually reading this (mess) right: > The neoconservatives, for example, are a showcase of what happens when the moralogian takes hold of the reins of foreign policy—and it is a consistent ideology that g

Reading the original FAQ: Am I wrong or is this (yet another) abstraction leak even more confusing than C? How much longer does everyone cling to the "What I like about Go is that it's so simple!" mythology? Bah, here comes

I parse my team's nginx logs with a script even though they aren't in JSON. I'm fine with it and other people can do as they like. I also do all my application logging as just vanilla logs, and I use grep & less like the

What I'd really like to see is better standardization on network interface diagramming. Many organizations are doing just fine and well as far as the programming goes, but their undocumented network relationships are utter spaghetti, w

Again: If we decide to use cookies instead, we also need to architect in a Cookie Revoker to fix the same problem: That means tracking cookies against user accounts on the server side. I'm sure some folks have done this, but I don&#x

The JWT is irrevocable by design, which is why it's time-boxed to a few minutes and not a few days. The refresh token is meant to be revocable. You the provider would store that in a database and remove it or mark it invalid when you n

Personally I would only call it "clickbait" if it didn't fulfill expectations. Instead it was an entertaining story. HN would nitpick the second coming of christ until he apologized for it and agreed to start all over again.

Those sorts of java runtime errors largely depend on programmers' insistence on doing things via reflection, and it will be the same in any programming language: Like most drugs, at first reflection seems you've opened a new door

OOP gives excellent benefits as concerns scope control, and since many of us are suffocating to death under overwhelming scope, there's a win. As for the handwaving about simulation & modelling and We Must Design The Matrix and all

In your case of a lithium mine, software would not add any harm, and it's unlikely that the mine would be infeasible but for the software. Ideally the software makes the mine more efficient (and thus less harmful). An easier target i

Well, I should explain: Software is created in the symbolic realm rather than the "physical" one. So, software has little to do with physics; and software is all design, no "labor". So yes you could say "engineering

Definitely a good step in the right direction. For comparison: https://www.nspe.org/resources/ethics/code-ethics While I think software engineering is vastly different from other kinds of engineering, I can't

This was at worst a mildly controversial comment until you got to the point declaring that all police officers are spouse-beating adulterers.

In case you're wondering what that pink thing sticking out of the camel's mouth in the picture is, it's called a "dulla", and it's normal. It's also pretty gross but feel free to google it and indulge your

Those "id" names are really confusing; I assume they are all shorthand for "acct_id", or... maybe not. I think account_credit & account_debit need foreign keys back to billing_account, and they probably are gonna nee

Okay let me actually return to the point. I practically spelled it out already, but why would I need a cheat sheet if I "memorized some stuff" ? Why would I accuse anyone claiming to memorize this "stuff" of lying if I

Are we just saying the screen is there but if you touch it then it just sits there and ignores you? I suppose that might be driveable if it's just telling me pointless things until I accidentally coffee-slosh it to death.
