It's beneficial to the wider community, and also supports their commercial interests (OSM consulting). Win-win.

Parent comment mentioned react, I can sorta see the comparison if you squint. But I disagree with their assertion that a better maintained XSLT could compete.

They don’t want to because they don’t see any bright future for the technology even if it’s better maintained. XML/XSLT isn’t trendy anymore, nobody is building new apps on it. It is never going to win market share from react - it’s to

Rather than struggling/withering, it's actively being killed. Efforts are underway to completely remove XSLT support from browsers, due to the poor state of libxml2 and a lack of any new maintainer stepping up.

OpenWRT is trading money for time. It's fine to recommend to someone interested in setting up their own custom router, but for most "prosumers" Ubiquiti will provide a better experience. It's worth noting that Ubiquiti p

I think that functional languages do actually have some advantages when it comes to LLM's, but not due to terseness. Rather, immutability/purity is a huge advantage because it plays better with the small context window of LLM&#x27

The issue regarding academia is that functional programming is treated as an afterthought/sideshow that is mainly of interest for research. Almost no-one is teaching FP concepts to undergrads.

The bank isn't so interested in whether it's a good idea to open a shoe store or not, but in whether you as the person asking for lending has the skillset to actually execute on that plan. Asking the person who wants lending to wr

To be clear, the Synapse case is not clearly a financial strength issue in the sense that they took risks with customer funds, but rather an extremely serious record keeping/accounting/auditing one. Synapse was supposed to be noth

True, but the lockfile is imposed at build time. Swapping out the version of a transitive dependency might build totally fine, but also might result is broken behaviour at runtime if the behaviour of the dependency changed.

In New Zealand we use a special local coordinate system NZGD2000 that accounts for both tectonic drift and one-off Earthquake slip events. The numerical coordinate values stay the same but their mapping to real world positions change over t

This is a great example of the kinds of problems with "defined benefit" pensions compared to "defined contribution" plans. Defined benefit plans rely on the firm to correctly manage their pension plan, allocate funds for

You don’t need to store a timestamp, but the local coordinate reference system that the coordinates are in. When revisions like this are made, it’s by updating the specification of a specific local coordinate reference. WGS84 is global, but

Zoom are already at the mercy of the government by virtue of being incorporated in the US, and having the majority of their staff there. "Generic" TLD's like .com come under US purview also anyway.

The primary benefits of QUIC apply in scenarios where you have some packet loss, and are multiplexing multiple independent "transactions" (DB queries, HTTP req's, gRPC calls etc.) over a single connection. Multiplexing is ver

Stackage is mandatory for a “stable” Haskell env, even for simple/toy projects. It means you get predictable versions for GCH + hackage libs until you explicitly choose to upgrade.

But how much data are those popup based auth sending through? At the absolute most a few MB in a couple calls. Even if it's dramatically slower over IPC it's not going to cause issues.

Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy seems like a case of bad defaults where a less secure option has been selected so that we don't break some poorly maintained websites. Better to get the actual users of `window.open` to fix their code than to
