My perspective, from watching local (German) politics, is that business owners and the heads of government offices are who demand apps. They appear to think that to be hip and up-to-date, you need to have an app. (Possibly because that give

Doesn't work in my terminal. When you recommend yq behavior, please specify which yq you're using. There are at least two incompatible implementations.

Because of the lockfile, it will use the same library versions when compiling again in the future. The main question for "will this compile" is whether the Rust compiler is sufficiently backwards-compatible, which (at least from m

I never owned a car, or a driver's license for that matter, so this is an honest question: Did you not realize this flaw during the test drive?

I'm in Germany, and my Twitter account still technically exists. (I have wiped the history and log into it once a week to retain the username that I wrote on talks etc. for over a decade.) I had a look around the "For You" fe

What you're proposing is how patents are supposed to work. The original proposition is that you get time-limited legal protection in exchange for putting your invention in the commons. Of course this has been subverted e.g. by trash pa

I was going to agree with you, but in researching this, it does seem that GP is right. This is the source that I found: https://gdpr.eu/cookies/ As far as I can see, this is a resource funded by the EU, so not quite au

I have written Go professionally for close to 10 years. The only time I encountered go:generate is in yacc parsers deep within libraries. A regular Go developer might go for years without realizing that it even exists. Compare this to C mac

I'm in Germany, so even if those places have cameras, they need to post a privacy notice describing what they do and how long they retain data. Sure, most people will not read this, but it's out there. I will make a mental note to

Going by number of search queries is such an obviously flawed assessment method. These results could just as well mean that the users of VS Code experience the most problems with their IDE and thus need to search for answers more often. I d

This thread is ample evidence that not everybody is ok with it. Also, note that "being ok with it" and "seeming to be ok with it" are two extremely different things.

Not OP, but I don't see why one would need to parse this at all. You can just step through the characters one byte at a time and execute them, using only a stack memory for return addresses to implement the [] behavior. No syntax tree

Ok, agreed that 1% of all apps need a complicated tech stack. Meanwhile the bulk of all web development is simple CRUD forms and reports.

Type safety is a spectrum, not a binary choice. Having used Go for 10 years now, next to other popular languages like JS and Python, I think it squarely falls into the "more type-safe than not" half of the spectrum. But it's

Not sure if that was /s or not, but it is indeed an important insight to realize that no IT system can have 100% reliability once you factor in hardware failures and power outages. And that's before we talk about bugs.

The API compatibility is not being thrown away. Xwayland will be with us for a long time for backwards compatibility (that includes stuff that lots of users care about, e.g. most Steam games). X11 will continue to be around, reduced to a mo
