I'm sorry to break the news to you, but for a large section of the world population (especially in the global South), the US was the villain for a long time before Trump came along - and I don't mean only in the "evil empire&

Quoting founding fathers on contemporary issues always makes me chuckle. > If healthcare was a human right, then why didn't 18th century slave-owners put it in the Constitution?

In my case it is because I am wary of these tools breaking in a way which cannot be fixed, or services being suddenly revoked for external reasons. Example: now that I'm a solopreneur I use JetBrains DataGrip, and overall I am very ple

I've come to the conclusion that whatever the question is, gRPC isn't the answer unless you are working on Google backend. The performance benefit they mention comes at the cost of (un)debugability of the binary protocol, and the

In Idiocracy the masses are aware that things are not as good as they once were, they recognize and value competent people, and then voluntarily agree to put them in power so that things may be fixed. IMO that is a depiction of some kind of

I think that goes for society as a whole. We should all be more emphatic and considerate. Especially around things like this - it's not the end of the world. Software is difficult and shit happens all of the time, give the maintainers

I guess we can agree to disagree. I hope to see even more "stupid AI regulation" in the future, fingers crossed. Recently I benefited from a "stupid regulation" mandating minimum Internet speeds carriers need to provide.

Same here - whenever I see someone trying to get around giving honest feedback, and trying to frame it as "humble curiosity" instead, I immediately assume they read some "leadership" articles and are trying to apply it b

A thousand times this. I find it very dangerous when you have some technical people who moved upwards into non-technical roles still being involved in technical discussions. Their words carry a lot of weight, yet they have no idea about the

Thanks for sharing, I enjoy reading your posts in regards to how ahead of time Dlang was in adopting these improvements. I wanted to ask: did you ever consider what was missing from Dlang to achieve widespread adoption? Clearly it was not f

Undeprecating something is truly a rare sight. So far I only knew about PHP undeprecating "is_a" function, so I guess this puts Go in good company ^^

One thing I never understand with these terraforming startups is: instead of terraforming Mars, isn't it much more economically valuable to terraform chunks of Earth? At the end all of this boils down to economics, and instead of spend

On Serbian Wikipedia you have an option to automatically transliterate from Cyrillic to Latin script, so I guess this would come up in similar contexts. In Croatian it doesn't matter, literally nobody uses the digraph Unicode character

If this was Go, instead of making a breaking change they would opt for a linter rule or a go vet directive. This is the sensible approach IMO to handle a hazardous programming construct. Warn people about it and give them the choice to shoo

So your approach to a social situation with a new acquaintance is to give a dishonest answer to test whether they are willing to put up with your obnoxiousness in the future? I'm sorry but if someone disregards you at that stage I woul
