I also think the fellow stating that we are not better off for having unleaded fuel is overstating the matter. Lead in fuel was quite strongly correlated with crime rates, no?

Well, "renewable energy in California" was at 52.7% in 2017, and California's 40mil people seem to own EVs at a world-high per-capita rate from my anecdata, therefore the most dense populous flock of EVs in the world is using

I think that reading about meta-level thinking & decision making and bad-faith railroading that as implying chemical balances within the body don’t exist is pretty silly. Surely you could have taken a different meaning quite easily.

This seems like a pretty bad-faith comment. This user is not proposing they're building a library, and if they were, it would be reasonable to assume they also would assume to extend the IO protections they discuss to the "IO&quot

That's nowhere near "falling apart". That's just the simple fact there's no silver bullet. Someone arguing a little defensive programming is equivalently strong to a type system is clearly unaware just how much work

TypeScript "magically" fixes the need for defensive programming by ensuring you won't write unsanitary code or invoke functions with possibly null&undefined values by accident. So then clearly the defensive programming is

To call TypeScript, a very strong type system which compiles down to terse JS with no extra JS for even complex types, and thus accordingly removes the need for all sorts of tests, "toolchain bloat" is a fairly one-dimensional vie

Huh, I learn something new each day. I definitely would consider these words to be "very" rhyming and can't even envision which one mutates in other accents. Thanks!

Can you say more about why we'd be in troubled waters for such a thing? Facebook and its non-titular products are probably used by the most people in the world. The org is 50k people, and I imagine their engineering staff is proportion

I’m not sure I agree with your takes on frameworks. It definitely depends on what you’re building, but in React to have composition and reuse for free immediately sets it apart from any bespoke solutions. I’m also struggling to imagine how

I struggle to see how this justifies the claim that "Jenkins is really a technology anti-pattern". You are describing bad maintenance, bad architecture, and bad execution, I fully agree with this. Jenkins is clearly old and it has

Can you expand more on how it would qualify as an "anti-pattern"? I agree it is slow, has issues with its built-in coverage and capabilities, and has an oldschool UI; but it is at its fundamental core a pipeline runner. It is a de

You know, maybe sass isn't appreciated on this site, but it's pretty pathetic to imagine someone could unironically imply any part of UI was a solved problem in the 90's and not face a challenge here. UI engineering is a disc

From where I sit, both of those concerns sit on the same side of fence. GP argues against extensive developer time spent on validating edge-case emails, and says they do so in no small part to avoid having emails bounce etc., as doing MX or
