How is this different from any other problem that is already solved by version pegging?

I'm curious about this, too. I love biking for the distance you can travel, the wind, the strength it builds, but I do have a distinct taste for walking, though I'd have to think about it more to have any ideas as to why. P.S. a)

Ah! When it comes to arguments, yes, I do agree that their supporting examples really ought to be true-to-life. But I don't think that's quite what was going on here. munificent was using a metaphor in service of his plea, his e

It's more than harmful—prior to the latest common usage, toxic usually meant potentially lethal for sufficient dosage. So, while it is indeed free of connotations of intent, it evokes disgust and, in fact, invites ostracism. If somethi

And this is the great thing about threaded comments — everyone who wants to follow the pedantic branch of conversation can do so without derailing the others (though this ideal is frequently thwarted by bad UX). Of course, it's nice wh

Part of it is the English-as-a-second-language vibe. "Privacy-first money tracker" feels very clumsy to me as a native speaker, and I have zero interest in giving my financial credentials to an open-source product that... I also h

apologies for what is a typical beside-the-point-snipe, but is anyone else puzzled at the persistence of the [at] [dot] email dodge? surely spam scrapers added that one to their regexes eons ago

You're still misunderstanding how the retirement trust works: selling shares does not imply a withdrawal, it just means that instead of owning stock, the retirement account now owns cash. Because selling is not a withdrawal, there is

That's wrong. Holding something in an IRA doesn't prevent you from selling it, only from taking the proceeds and putting them in your personal checking. The proceeds continue to be property of the IRA/401k, and can be re-inve

W/r/t a more descriptive name, I disagree—though until fairly recently I would have agreed. I would guess that the desire for something more "descriptive" reflects the fact that you are not in the weeds with io_uring (et

While lobbyists write actual laws and work for the same companies + industry groups that fund the PACs, I find it difficult to agree with you.

I'll be proving the point that tmux is a batteries-not-included program with my solution to your "resurrect", but it's probably fine for (and unsurprising to) anyone who doesn't mind writing a few lines of bash: I h

Again, I could not disagree more with your interpretation of what's happening here. I'd recommend you, too, read the article I linked in the comment above. To characterize Wallace's words as an "argument", as if he

I could not disagree more. Wallace's use of language here is instructive, poignant, and immensely useFUL. I'll bet you're an engineer, data scientist, or other technical professional, not simply b/c you're here, but

Does anyone know who reads content on Medium regularly? Or are there people/orgs you think of as credible publishing on the platform? They've always been the TEDx of blogs in my mind: well-marketed, but of variable and unremarkabl

Relatable content! Just get comfortable saying no without explaining yourself. The fact is that your calendar should not have public read-only permissions, which is the way you're behaving when you feel obligated to justify a declinati

This is how all life evolves. The bigger and grander the plans, in general, the harder and worse they fail. Communism and Brazilia spring to mind as examples. "Seeing Like A State" takes a look at the causes of failure patterns en

I think you misunderstood? I meant: we understand one way in which sleep loss can kill sufficiently well that we don't need to describe its lethality as "oddly hard to explain". That doesn't mean there isn't more to

This might be pedantic of me, but conflating RLS and auth isn't a great look. RLS is a general purpose mechanism for constraining row operations, and auth has to do with usernames and passwords and session tokens.

I (quixotically) rolled my own uptime monitor with curl and twilio's CLI, and then wrote a minimal jenkin's clone with a git hook, a little bit of bash, and systemd: github.com/cameron/push-to-systemd. My current project

You can do this with your brain and a text file (for keeping track of counters and usernames). I've been managing my passwords this way for years.

Auth is about 15 lines in an SQL function exposed via the api w/postgraphile, plus whatever lines necessary to define your RLS policies and grants.
