Indeed. I like this article/transcript, because it has a lot of criticism about the horrible state this whole "web3" thing is, while remaining cautiously optimistic about its future.

Absolutely, yes to all of that. (Off topic, but I love the juxtaposition of your handle and the topic being discussed. :) )

A thousand times this. Shellcheck is a godsend that will save you tons of headaches if you have to deal with longer shell scripts - whether you are writing new scripts or maintaining old ones.

Are you one of those people who take everything literally, so any and all jokes fly far over their heads? This rule of ten lines or less is clearly meant as an illustrative guideline. Obviously if you have a shell script that has 11 lines,

Wait, what? The way to pay for things you need to function in society are taxes, and direct payments coming out of your wages (or equivalent thereof). Ads are something completely disconnected from "things you need to function in socie

The main difference here is that on the web, you can get rid of the ads *for yourself and yourself only*, without affecting anyone else. You are merely processing the incoming stream of data in a different way. In the real world, there is n

I do not believe it's nitpicking. I was supporting the post you replied to ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33313036 ), which claimed that git indeed does not have review tools, and that the review tools/flows

I am not doubting you, but I'm surprised that it was cheaper. Every time this is discussed here on HN, or on other forums, the prevailing narrative is that it is increasingly difficult to buy a non-smart TV, and that the only option is

Yes, but you do not reply via git. You review the patches in the MUA of your choice (outside of git) or in editor or IDE of your choice, after applying them in your local repository clone (applied maybe by git, maybe by the "patch&quot

Exactly - don't pay money, make your user agent work for you, the user.

I know of at least three huge, multi-national corporations using Github extensively - either via separate, protected orgs and repos directly on github.com, or a separate Github Enterprise instances on their own domains.

Those are tools to facilitate moving the code from one repo to another, not to facilitate a review of that code. So I think the GP's point stands.

Yes, you can get that badge safely only if you adjust your project's development flow. This exactly proves the central point of the article - gamification affects software developers.

Lot of emphasis by whom? Yes, certain constructs are subtly encouraged (by documentation, community blogs, etc.), but there is no python police to enforce the One True Way(tm). You can still write your quick&dirty prototype using not-qu

It's not even in the "old" days, what you described is still the situation today, for C and C++ languages - as I'm sure you are aware. You have to know about all your dependencies, and curate them all manually. This desp

That is an odd take on Python particularly, which has been widely lauded as a good language for exploratory coding - easy and quick to put something together and iterate on it. You seem to be claiming the opposite here.

A good first approximation of such a setting is to never publish on Github in the first place. Of course, someone else can still upload your elsewhere-published code to GH. You cannot win.

No javascript, no paywall. Just the meat of the article, as web was meant to be. :)

Yeah, if my employer wants me to use a smartphone app, they better cough up a smartphone for me to use. I'm not installing anything work-related on my private one, because I am in no position to guarantee that I won't break it or

No, you're moving the goalposts. You were specifically talking saying "to wirelessly read a few specific bytes of data from the brain of an unknowing person". You do not read bytes of data from the brain, because there are no

Not necessarily. A person could remember a password that contains name of their loved one differently in their brain than some arbitrary string of letters and numbers. Those letters and numbers can each be "encoded" differently in

What about e-mail clients which allow you to configure multiple accounts at different e-mail providers? Those will be able to access your Gmail data, and also "data from or through third-party servers" in form of receiving or send

Please read the original post - the QR code (nor the TOTP secret in any other format) is simply not available until you enable either SMS authentication or the authentication app. Afterwards, yes, you have the TOTP secret available for use
