It's not enough to write a law on principles alone. It must be clear and practical to comply and clear how it will be enforced. The EU should not have created a situation where the most practical solution for 1000's of companies i

Why is a Debian developer a better gatekeeper against supply chain attacks than the developer of a popular Rust library? For me the alternative to Crates.io/npm/PyPi is a "platform release" like Android where a bunch of

It just turns out you can't always do that in a real codebase. For example see here: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/23efd8e5b1aa96ef01640fec03a5fedc945ba8b9/src/couch_mrview/src&

I've written some Erlang and found the syntax awkward. One example of this is that variables can only be bound once. This means you end up writing: Val = SomeFunc() Val1 = Func2(Val) Val2 = Func3(Val1) Yes I know you can use

As the engineering manager you should implement an automated code formatter in your CI checking. I think clang-format will do this for C. Doing this simply removes this whole class of conflict from your team. This is a program that you run

An "isolate cloud" is exactly how Google App Engine worked 10 years ago. It was a good idea then and is still a good idea now.

Dart is a sane language with great tooling. It has its own version of Angular which works great. It is available today!

I appreciate the question. I totally agree that bitbucket is the main competition in the free git hosting space. My best answer to that is that Repo0 is only limited by the amount of storage you have on your Google drive account. I have 1TB

Thanks! Its only recently released and I'm beginning to work on marketing now so the user numbers are really just friends of mine (like less than 50).

The proposal for square brackets List[int] in generics is the weirdest thing. There is a standard un-surprising way to do this and it is angle brackets List<int>. What is the reason for forcing developers to use this jarring syntax?

Note the irony of the situation. Writing an init.d script is actually really hard. A post attacking Systemd is actually a pretty good argument for using it.

I thought that a forking init script was supposed to wait for the service to be active before exiting. Otherwise you run "service apache2 start" and apache has not yet started after the command terminates. This is the same require

Django can be easily adapted to write static pages using the template api and writing to a file. Works well for me.
