> I have a subscription to PyCharm through work and still think it's inferior to VSCode I'm trying to figure out how anyone could think that. Every time I switch to VS Code I feel hamstrung. What do you find to be inferior?

by lolinder 2y ago
Yeah, I was wondering if that was it. Practically it still ends up being a subscription for me because I actually do want the updates, but I guess that's the point—it's my choice to keep paying because I like what they're doi

If you throw out every possible design because you can't detect fraud perfectly, you'll never have any solution to anything. The questions we actually need to answer are: * Does compliance with the law create the behavior we want

That would help people use Linux, but I'm not sure it would make a difference in maintainer bus factor. If I only buy hardware from vendors that already have Linux support then my driver needs are presumably met for me, no? I'm un

For the one DB file per user question, I'll take a stab at a solution: * Global store of user identifiers mapped to user IDs. Identifiers can change but the underlying user ID is immutable. * One DB per user ID. The per-user DB doesn&#

I pulled this strategy at a new company and found that it opened up a million opportunities I could take my pick of. I basically got to shape my own role going forward. Why? Because I very quickly made a name for myself as someone who learn

Oh, yes, I pasted the same link twice! 30 PRs that have been open for a very long time untouched. The point is getting stuff merged into Koka is not easy.

Your comments are more devoid of technical details than the site is. People keep asking you to clarify what you mean and you seem unable to pin down exactly what is lacking.

No you don't. DNS challenges are a thing, and they're easy to set up. That's how my local is configured.

Koka is still pretty much one person's project [0], and it's not for lack of PRs [1]. To push Koka forward at the kind of pace that Richard wants to move would require forking it or commandeering it, and it makes total sense that

A far bigger issue with our society is our willingness to brand someone forever based on what they did decades prior—we (as a society) pay lip service to the idea that people change, but we don't truly believe it. It's the same pu
