I selfhost stuff for fun! Which I'm counting my EC2 instance as. * Pleroma/Mastodon - I had been using Pleroma, but I'm not happy about a few things, so I bit the bullet to upgrade to a t3.small and am now running Mastodon. I

Your second statement might more accurately be formulated as "I tend to find the insights of people with a technical background more interesting", or even "I am more capable of understanding what is interesting about the insi

I wrote elsewhere that even if you don't do ActivityPub publishing, being able to import from the ActivityPub 'article' type would be a nice feature. I don't know if people have played with that kind of one-way AP integr

It sounds like what you want is https://writefreely.org/ ? they have both a hosted option and a self-hostable open source version. The missing part is the discoverability that Medium had and that Able and dev.to are working

And an experienced sysadmin would know that there are plenty of needs, priorities, and resources that play well with the cloud. ;)

This is totally valid; I think the complaint was really with modeling a solution to a non-problem with a cryptocurrency, specifically.

There's definitely better ways and worse ways. All we can do is our best.

It has to be possible to talk about the effects of this phenomenon on all people, as well as the related changes in behavior people choose. We're all new to that, so I think we're all figuring out what language is appropriate. So

Sounds like it could use sources for the assertion. ;)

I didn't expect this, but it's actually everything I would have reasonably wanted from them. Dang!

Seems to me that this is a great example of how, if I'm the next developer, I will have to go dereference isAbsoluteUrl in order to see that the https:// case hasn't already been handled--whereas it would have been o

This is very much an answered-in-the-article question.

This looks amazing! I've wanted something like this for work stuff that can't leave my laptop.

Wow--it's both amazing to me and yet deeply unsurprising that the comments here so far seem to ignore the thrust of the article. Well, whatever--I like how it makes explicit the political theses embedded in current discussion of an &qu

Yeah, I'm trying to read it as "if a member of my team came to me with a new ambition to do what it takes to up their comp (for whatever reason) I'd work with them to expand their role in the org" but... it should not b

Later, in 1996, Ross Sackett performed two distinct meta-analyses to empirically test Sahlin's view. The first of these studies looked at 102 time-allocation studies, and the second one analyzed 207 energy-expenditure studies. Sackett

Maybe he means not catching them with some kind of linter, IDE, or test? I'm choosing to believe that, at least.

This is a problem that--well, I'm not going to say it's solved , but it's certainly addressed in an ongoing way. In the NE you have a lot of dinky little power plants burning coal and whatever else, but if you look at the

I am very interested to see what people's answers are for this, because I pine for a version control system designed for the twists and turns of experimental investigation rather than the needs of engineering implementation. I very muc

This is really important. Even if you think that PHP is the worst thing humankind has ever inflicted upon itself, you are not making the world a better place by denigrating the work done in it with this spirit of contempt. If it is terrible

Whoa, what? I don't think this comment meant anything negative to people from blue-collar backgrounds, and I think when it reads "deserve to be there" that--you might be reading that as "don't deserve anything bette

Sure, but I have to say I felt very distracted by his not even mentioning the idiomatic approach.

by kixiQu 10y ago
I don't think either of you are strictly wrong, though--the comment's point seems to be that doing things by hand was so much harder that it couldn't even be done to the same level of success that machine learning achieve

You still get the benefits if you are religious and approaching it from that angle, though!

I think there's somewhat of a gap between "junior" and "junior/intermediate", but given my understanding of university / bootcamp curricula, it's probably both the case that it's unrealistic to e

It could have great potential, and I see the virtue of this kind of thing globally, but my first thought was "This seems like a great way to get murdered." Maybe that's a gender thing?
