Thank you. As someone suffering with this disease long-term (75 days and counting) it's really nice to see someone unaffected speaking the voice of reason and compassion.

Everyone mentioning their quick and scrappy solutions to setting up TLS termination is completely missing the spirit of the author’s letter. Did y’all even read it?

Please, interview a few folks and write a piece and mail it to a bunch of publications. Something might stick somewhere.

First, I'd start by building a product ecosystem that becomes an inescapable cornerstone for all communication and information retrieval in the modern technological age. Second, I'd work to track users' every move around my v

Microsoft has definitely turned the corner in terms of culture with some projects like Typescript, WSL, .NET Core, etc., but Azure is very much still the "old Microsoft." It was started before this turn and has many of the same ol

I lived in LA for a while and knew a few very liberal friends that moved to Austin because of the cheaper cost of living, for what its worth.

What city did you move to? I’m curious. I’ve moved between a few over the years and feel that the culture of some cities makes it harder to make friends than others.

Spam. This company is such a ripoff. You get mostly normal produce at average prices. There's literally no point. Just go to the grocery store...

We’re not talking about telecoms. We all know they’re a corrupt monopoly. Nice strawman.

There's some good points here. I don't have a degree and, as a senior in their late 20s, find myself teaching things I consider basic to CS graduates. I work in one of the big 5. I keep finding myself wondering why we have 50+ eng

I started using Mercurial in college and then switched to git at my first job. I haven't seen Mercurial since. I still don't understand how Git won in the long run, it's CLI is so much worse than `hg`. My guess would be that

How is a blockchain a practical way to ensure no cheating? Why not just write software that doesn't let you cheat? Or referees....

I just started working through a textbook to learn Rust, coming from a heavy Typescript/Node background. It's too soon to say whether or not I'm in love but I already really like the approach to lower level programming with m

Honest question: what does this have to do with software development?

Awesome article. I appreciate the lack of bias. Thanks for writing this, OP. It's good to keep an eye on the horizon for potential alternatives to tech we use day in day out, but it looks like we're still on solid ground with JSX

As a US citizen, I both agree with returning to a more explicit work-permit system yet apologize for our terrible immigration system.

Eeeeeesh. Let's continue this tradition - companies need to be shamed for pulling this crap. Nice work, OP.

Don't forget the part where the homeless walk down Dockweiler beach every morning and dump the garbage cans onto the sand to more easily pick through the trash to get at the cans. What a lovely system we've created.

Thank you so much for writing this. As someone who’s worked in the best and worst of these two words, the productivity gains are absolutely insane and the limitations, as stated by the author, are no more painful than limitations of federat

Ghost in the Shell touched on this really well. There's the potential for bad actors to plant dangerous training into these algorithms. Hypothetically, someone could turn an entire fleet of self-driving taxis into an assassination mech

Exactly. Deno doesn't need to solve for this, it's already achieved it. An interpreter has nothing to do with a package manager. One problem that Deno is actually solving is the tight coupling of NPM and Node. Commonjs is very muc

How exactly does Node.js require a package manager?

How does Deno need a package manager at the moment? I don’t understand your perspective.

by mmmeff 8y ago
I feel that the Deno project's goals to get away from NPM/centralized registries is causing developer experience pains that it feels like you're trying to sweep under the rug. Maybe it's time to take a look at building a
