Or you could say it the other way around: Even leading scientists are susceptible to letting emotions get the best of them and double-down defending their personal investments into things. "A scientific truth does not triumph by convin

Same happened to me on Gumroad. I ended up with 5 or so before I had to contact customer support to merge them all.

Some people rightfully want to see what the engineering effort and roadmap is gonna be before becoming invested in it, since there's always a cost. Simple aesthetic changes and codes of conduct / political alignment for contributo

It's so you don't need an exact term, you can search for a synonym or something "similar" in concept. So more like a search engine than just a Ctrl+F in a file for a string of tokens

Learned a lesson that you only have to "spend" (forgo) $250 to cause that company $14m in losses (that you could have prevented)

Indeed the choice for me as recent as 1-2 years ago was still SVN vs Perforce. Despite only having ever worked with Git

I liked the one Pennsylvania bill introduced where subscription services have to email you that they're about to charge you again. Throws a wrench into the "was hoping you forgot about it, now ask/argue with customer support

Well-written comment. I would love to read an extended version of this with examples, pictures, etc. as a blog post / youtube video.

Thanks. A lot of good stuff here that may go overlooked.

As with any business/product, consumers are also free to say what they think to the business, other users, competitors, and anyone else.

They are great because you can find so many problems at much lower cost earlier. And communication across domain and skill levels. Maybe their unpopularity among developers stems from trauma of the UML+OOO+Waterfall days and an overcorrecti

It's clear you've never experienced significant amounts of tech debt that you aren't allowed to fix because it doesnt Excel chart nicely for the boomers higher up who only see things in terms of "something working on the

I think it ends up being hybrid, like seen in CQRS and especially with DDD. Toss in "Vertical Slice Architecture" as well. What abstractions you want can decided on a per command or query basis and it feels natural.

"If you define a MAIN function, any parameters you give it will be automatically turned into CLI flags." This is actually cool

Also some apps, like the old Zynga social games, would hold you hostage, you had to approve everything (at once, not granular like it is today) to use or even install. It's been a while since early Android, but I'm pretty sure tha

What would be the right tool for an entertaining highly interactive and animated (game-like, but still mostly text based) thing then? Used to be Java applets and Flash. Now is "webapps" and WebGL. Or is that it should have been h

It feels bad to "waste" the work that could have otherwise gone into highly-paid billable hours, or at least charity work on other repos that get more use.

The thing about economics is that it's physics, with a time delay. We are seeing the time-delayed reaction to over-extension into the cloud play out, not instantly but in the downturn cycle.

I like that it's this way so we can easily compete with these dysfunctional companies. Don't fix them :)

Also you can argue that the (original) filename itself is part of the metadata. It's useful to have what it was originally called when referencing elsewhere. So where to put this data? in a sidecar file during the rename process or som

This is great. I noticed I have about 9 or 10 top-level bookmarks folders to do the same. My categories are very similar

And we can expect it to continue going that way for smaller companies, since the tax changes in the US wrt R&D means it's better to buy than build, all else being equal, due to the tax deduction not having to be spread over time.

They probably also see States Rights (the philosophy, not necessarily a legal interpretation) as opposite Federal power. States rights isn't just for social-moral topics such as marijuana and immigration. We should have expected it to

There's limits on either end of that spectrum (pile of bespoke pipes vs. Lotus Notes), that we can see a demonstrated interest in, somewhere in the middle: the success of tools like Docker, and arguably even something as banal as the c

Evidently, the best way to run a bank is a 0% cash reserve minimum (as was granted to US banks starting during COVID), so you can make money off of literally every last penny, and then discourage and prevent customers from taking their mone

I am not awfully sure. Point is I threw you a bone in my first response to you, you know -- "opposite" sides to synthesize, which I now know I shouldn't have done, and you shat all over it. Which is why the conversation with

Ok, without resorting to insulting you as you are me, according to you, is the 10th Amendment a loophole or not? More generally, are people doing things because they aren't stopped from doing so a loophole or not? Are loopholes a featu

Ah gotcha, thanks for clarification. Things can be a conspiracy of common interests (and not even necessarily be bad), whether or not that's what this is, without involving "smoky rooms" (also known as boardrooms; but for fun
