   Right. But that's the limit I don't get. If I always have to view the expanded set of commit messages to understand anything about the commit, what's the value in a short subject? And why 50 chars? That's even more restr

   50 chars seems pretty arbitrary to me. I'd rather have a useful commit message. I've seen some pretty contorted messages conveying no real info in order to meet an imaginary character limit.

   It really depends what you're doing. I've been trying out serverless on-and-off for weeks now and still don't have a basic two tier application going the way I want. I'd have been substantially better off dropping $5&#x2

   They increase the major version because they don't guarantee backward compatibility. You may think it's foolish to only provide guaranteed API support for 4 or 6 weeks, but it's more than just a marketing gimmick.

   Unfortunately, I really only know roughly how thick the stack of pages was. I realize it's an imprecise metric. And I might be able to convert to a rough percentage and figure out a page number from there. But, then the page turning is

   A multi-page e-ink book would be nice. I love my Kindle for certain types of reading, but when I read, I like to flip back to previous sections. Search doesn't work because I rarely know verbatim what I'm looking for or the search

   The last place I was at did it that way. I imagine it was to incentive early expense reports, otherwise you were stuck paying the bill. Also protects the employer if the expense isn't legitimate. But, it was pretty stressful as an empl

    Okay, thanks for elaborating. I think the part I had overlooked was the variant constructor not being a function. I had mentally mapped that as a `dispatch` call with the variant being the payload. But, yeah, it looks like the author eithe

    I love high-level languages and think they've had a great democratizing effect that lets people across a wide array of backgrounds be reasonably productive without a ton of background knowledge. But, the underlying computer isn't

    Thanks for the feedback. The earliest examples I had see of using redux just passed strings around and struck me as being error-prone. So I was happy to see const fields used as the action types. The TypeScript approach looks reasonable to

    Gotcha. My misunderstanding.

    I didn't make the claim nor am I supporting it. But the author definitely mentioned DefinitelyTyped as a positive for TypeScript.

    I'm fairly new to both TypeScript and ReasonML (both within the past month). The author's reducer example closely matches that of the official Redux documentation [0], so I'm not really sure it's biased. But, I could buy

    Since TS is just JS, you could just dispatch to arbitrary strings, but the TS type system isn't going to help you out very much. The approach the author is taking is the one described in the Redux documentation [0]. [0] -- https:&#x2F

    The author mentions DefinitelyTyped: "DefinitelyTyped typings amount is just insane and it will take time for ReasonML to match them." I agree it would be nice to have an expert analysis of a reasonably-sized application, but that

    For the X1 Extreme, you may want to look at Pop!_OS. For the initial install you'll need to force enable the dGPU, but after that, you can switch back to hybrid. I realize it's not quite Ubuntu, but it is Ubuntu-based, so that mig

    I'm not sure those two lines really support your conclusion. They may, but they're both taken from Tesla's response to a previous test performed with the Model S. If you read further on, the researchers take issue with Tesla&

    Backwards-compatible with people's brains is one aspect of it, sure. No one likes a constantly evolving UI that shuffles things around. But, also backwards-compatible with already entered issues. I wholeheartedly agree they should supp

    Not that it really matters much, but a lot of the design issues you're highlighting are due to the age of the software and Atlassian's seeming commitment to not breaking backward compatibility. In particular, Jira predates Markdow

    Oddly enough, before gemcutter and the refreshed rubygems.org, GitHub used to serve gems. IMHO, it was the easiest way to publish gems and it had a built-in namespace system where your username was prefixed to the gems (e.g., my Rails fork

    Thanks. It's been a nice a discussion. I don't often get to engage in this sort of discourse, so it's been a fun thread.
