Don’t give them any ideas! They already tried to make inroads with ruby’s “unless”.

I guess I just categorically disagree that a codebase is impossible to understand without “sufficient” additional context. And I think you ascribe too much order to software written by humans that can exist in quite varied groups wrt abilit

Code is code, yes it can be more or less spaghetti but if it compiles at all, it can be refactored. Having to dig through all that other crap is unfortunate. Ideally you have tests that encapsulate the specs, which are then also code. And h

There will still be people who care to go deeper and learn what an API is and how to design a good one. They will be able to build the services and clients faster and go deeper using AI code assistants. And then, yes, you’ll have the legion

That’s fine if you find that fun, but legacy archeology is a means to an end, not an end itself.

When you’re churning out many times more code per unit time, you had better think good and hard about how to organize it. Everyone wanted to be an architect. Well, here’s our chance!

It’s silly to have so many keyword synonyms as specified in that earlier regex. I’m also glad we can’t specify numeric literals as roman numerals. KISS

You asked a bunch of specious questions about the DoE. The DoE is part of a complicated and fragile system. It isn't as simple as turning off a light switch for a part you don't like, and chances are you probably don't fully

People don't become billionaires solely due to ability. Luck is the dominant factor: affluent upbringing and inheritance.

Look at what happens in poor areas of less developed countries. Honor killings, deification of dictators, rampant scamming and crime, cartels and gangs... all still things. Your questions betray an ignorance of how a significant plurality o

Disagree here. We could have very different sets of obligations in life coming from different sources, not all of which are under your control. And the phone does consolidate many, many technologies that used to be disparate objects. Now, y

I think it is actually, because as everything transitions to apps and websites and smartphone, lately I feel like my phone is simply another organ located in my hands and I have to spend an unreasonable amount of time looking at it to get t

Pretty cool, I like how it moves around, and the mechanic for guessing your way to something you don't know. I did a lot of sporcle grinding back in the day to learn all the countries of the world. Memories unlocked!

I find the GitHub blame view indispensable for this kind of code archeology, as they also give you an easy way to traverse the history of lines of code. In blame, you can go back to the previous revision that changed the line and see the bl

This is a circular argument. In order for it not to be, you need to show how “having a computer in the house in 1991” is already a not uncommon thing for that to then apply to 1 in 5 not being uncommon.

This doesn’t mean every app has to be fun. If I want to have fun, I’ll go play with something specifically built for fun. If I’m balls deep in an incident and suddenly my MDM security policy login TTL expires and I have to reauthenticate,

I did the same, porting a huge python script that had grown way too unwieldy to Swift. It undoubtedly saved me time. Your project sounds a lot bigger than mine, 4500 is a lot of compilation errors. If it’s not already split into modules, co

Lots of folks praising Bluey and poo-pooing Cocomelon, and I am in the same boat. One similar show to Bluey I didn’t see mentioned is Puffin Rock. Very chill and wholesome. Probably appropriate for a bit before Bluey in terms of what a chil

I really don't think many people set taxes because they love to tax . They are a means to an end, not an end themselves.

Ironic you bring that up, because there was a time in America where the Supreme Court had ruled that children could be forced to recite it.

But it’s of course a ridiculous concept because the world is full of jobs needing to be done that are very hard to accomplish, nigh impossible to automate and as Mike Rowe calls them, simply “dirty.” The world is going to need plumbers for

My impression is that airline incidents are currently one of the winners of "the game", and that our difficulty to grasp the true scale of the complete situation hinders our ability to contextualize the trends. Personally I still

I am fully onboard with how we should be tamping down on contractors overcharging. The same as I think universities are overcharging to capture government-guaranteed school loans. But neither of those makes me think the idea of taxes or sch

As someone that does lots of crosswords, this doesn’t seem at all out of the ordinary. I guess the difference is that in a regular crossword, these cultural unknowns can be worked around if you can get the crosswords, but that’s no guarante

I used the context as part of the clue in that way. I like it that way and don’t think it should change.

I was curious so tried running my own numbers. TL;DR I find it’s about 34.5%-43.5% for a single person earning $100k-$300k in SF. So taxes would have to rise half again to hit that 60% claim. According to https://smartasset.com&#

I saw this comment earlier in another posted article that I think will explain it pretty well. We simply have a lot of these kinds of folks running around. Don’t forget to check out the YouTube comments for more examples! https:/&#x2F
