It's kind of disturbing to me that so many people in the comments are defending Linus's tone here. He writes like petulant child. Its wildly unprofessional, and only makes it harder to follow what follow what he's trying to s

Always wondered why more markdown editors don't use the https://stackedit.io/ approach to WYSIWYG + formatting symbols. Seems like the best of both worlds to me

I can't find much to corroborate this article's take. RDF is a stark counter-example - a standard from the W3C. It has endorsement from Tim Bray, one of XML's co-authors.

I'm pretty in love with schema-driven development with https://www.graphile.org/postgraphile/ . I generate a graphql schema from postgres, and code models/serializers from that. Currently using migra and some

There are a few highly dismissive comments here. While the python community has (clearly) been getting by with requirements.txt/setup.cfg/setup.py, the project/package management story is far less usable than more recently de

I love poetry, and am using it in all my python projects, but despite that I would hesitate to recommend it for this reason. That said, "ejecting" a plain requirements.txt is possible on the alpha branch via `poetry export`

Seems to me that with the definitions given, structures and objects aren't opposites, they're corollaries. A database table is both a data structure and a collection of functions for accessing/manipulating it (SQL). An ORM ma

Right now photos sync with google drive. "Once these changes go into effect, this folder will stop receiving updates. It won’t go away; it will just stop syncing with Photos." Really hope they give users a proper heads up and opt

REST is a broad term - there's nothing to stop REST apis from doing all those things with HATEOAS, discoverable apis, json schemas, etc. The real advantage of GraphQL is the distillation and combination of preexisting ideas into a cohe

Agreed. This investigation was incomplete without actually running an ad. Just because Ninja Turtle's PAC was approved to use the "Paid for by" byline doesn't mean they could actually get their ad all the way through Fac

right, but 2FA usage is something npm can actually verify, so that we as package consumers can ask/receive some security guarantees from publishers.

probably the most reasonable stopgap to this class of attacks is for npm to do more to encourage 2FA, with badges, etc, and introduce a warning on non-2FA installs.

I didn't mean to imply a stance about whether they were swaying opinion vs galvanizing extremists vs discouraging their opposition. All of those I would consider "being effective". It's just that the only people who seem

A bit of a sidebar, but it really bothers me that the term "Intellectual Dark Web" has stuck. It makes them sound like a group that includes Cody Wilson, Amir Taaki, and a league of pseudonymous thinkers, instead of podcast hosts

This comment thread has really put me in a good mood. These stories have so much pedagogical value: • The grammars we engineer have important semantic value • understanding and adhering to them is important, and hard • relying on others to

IMO "side-effect free" is always a statement constrained by the operating level of abstraction. Logging is not an effect at the level of the application, but rather some subset of it's context (system, db). I love that term a

I assume the uglify plugin wasn't commented out when the actual test was run. I haven't tried this myself, but it's worth noting that you can use closure with webpack: https://github.com/roman01la/webpack

While I see the point the Ulaş is getting at, I wouldn't call this JSON-driven development. I think JSON-driven development would use abstraction layers that are based on JSON, like JSON schema, and perhaps an OOP library that leverage

Chomsky believes the human capacity for language to be one of many "mental organs" specialized to different tasks. This article is pretty confused, and Chomsky would probably say the root cause of the author's confusion is th
