Right. And that's the issue. I want to read at a glance, without having to ask tools. Monkey patching and lack of parentheses means dropping into a new codebase is like wading into a ocean of possibilities with every file.

I don't mean method definitions. I mean method invocations.

by paulryanrogers 2mo ago
Debatable. I always found languages without parentheses inscrutable. To distinguish methods you have to have all method signatures memorized or rely on an advanced IDE with highlighting.

Does Google control the 3P repair market for its devices? Such as by parts pairing? Because sometimes a free market of unofficial options is better than an exclusive and exorbitant option.

Oracle licensing audits scare off plenty of folks. At a small SaaS we were put off by the difficulty getting OracleDB's dev edition installed and working at all. While MySQL (then independent) and Pg were bare bones in comparison, they

I don't think Vanta itself even scans for CVEs? They scan for compliance which includes tooling that may look for CVEs, like Dependabot. Scanning companies should be sophisticated enough to distinguish invalid CVEs and back ported fixe

SQRL has the same weakness as passkeys: secrets on device are too easily lost, gatekeepers too greedy to solve that without taking away user sovereignty, and people don't understand it. IMO both solutions are a lost cause. Hopefully I&

Videogames--and later making / changing them--was my jam growing up. Unlike people who may emotionally hurt you (or you them), games and machines are controllable and predictable. Even multi-player gaming had more feeling of control th

Canaries meaning deploying the new stuff only to certain segments first? I imagine that's got its own risks and challenges if there is a lot of bottlenecks or dependencies, like multi-tenant data store(s).

Does this mean DX1-10 are also supported? I've been struggling to play some DX3-7 games because of VirtualBox and VMware limitations and Win10+ backward compatibility gaps. Article is quite long and technical, so it wasn't clear t

I was told updates require replacing at least two layers of metal, though not whole thing. Was that not accurate? Can you say more?

Myst was also bundled with a lot of PCs. Perhaps as a cheap way to show off CDROM capabilities. Getting games installed and working in that era was often a chore. So when people sat down to play, it was already there for them. Myst's s

Haven't CPUs largely plateaued? They're just getting bigger, more power hungry, and multiplying cores. Physics has hard limits and Moore's law is long dead.

Nonsense. We can and do downgrade folks from better to worse employment all the time, even moreso during this administration! Can't have the plebes unionizing or getting more compensation.

Cults generally try to isolate and control people, regardless of the motive. Of course there are other criteria and opinions on them vary.

As text or XML column type. IME a document store or columnar backend is significantly cheaper if you're not querying it from SQL.

Indeed. Which is why there must be overwhelming survey evidence before we can conclude which direction the arrow is going. Because it's unethical to isolate people and all compounding factors for a proper experiment.

I grew up in a family that read almost exclusively partisan media like The Washington Times, The News Herald, and later Fox News. Now it's NewsMax. Worse than knowing nothing, they know only party talking points.
