   Most of these criticisms don't stand up to scrutiny, but I can understand how you'd arrive at this opinion based on the blog post alone. In reality, this change primarily applies to the engineering team and will be phased in over

   Do you have any sources for that? I'm genuinely interested. I've heard it mentioned before as fact, but a quick search of Hansard[1][2] only turned up one very vocal Labour politician (Alex Davies-Jones). [1] https://ha

   Every single Labour politician who voted on this bill voted against it. Peter Kyle was one such MP, and now he's making statements like: > I see that Nigel Farage is already saying that he’s going to overturn these laws. So you kn

    You greatly overestimate our legislators. Of course, they may react in the way you described, but I sincerely doubt we're witnessing some great master plan.

    > That you do not recognize an entire state to exist is an admission to preparing a genocide. Israel doesn't recognise Palestine as a state, so by your own definition Israel is preparing a genocide.

    I wouldn't describe LiveView as simple, necessarily. It makes for a great demo, but in my experience it complicates simple things in lots of subtle—and occasionally pernicious—ways. Whilst you can use Phoenix without LiveView, this is

    I don't understand the Linkding recommendations. AFAICT Linkding is a bookmarking app, much like Pinboard, not a read-later app like Pocket.

    Surely you can choose to only install "Deno native" dependencies? It may sometimes be difficult to find such an option, but that was always going to be the case without Node compatibility. Now, in theory at least, you have the opt

    I simply meant that I don't consider the title misleading; it's in keeping with the format of the original title and both solutions use third-party libraries to communicate with the external service.

    Given that this post is a response to an article about achieving the same in "N lines of Go" (also using a library), it seems like an appropriate title.

    The assumption that if something doesn't have a clear and immediate ROI it can't possibly have any value is extremely myopic.

    GP's comment didn't suggest that every supposed scam will turn out to be useful. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was pointing out that some supposed scams do turn out to be useful.
