Rebasing replays your commits on top of the current main branch, as if you’d just created your branch today. The result is a clean, linear history that’s easier to review and bisect when tracking down bugs. The article discusses why contr

You can still do vendoring with Go modules, using the `go mod vendor` command.

Yes it does. They don’t have to pay $200k/yr + $50k immediately, and don’t have to spend the time, effort, and money on self-hosting and migrating away.

This entire article is a strawman. It fails to even understand the basic important problem lock files try to address. Sure, I can deterministically resolve the same X.Y.Z versions of packages according to whatever algorithm I like. But lite

But when I go to Instagram, I go to look at my friends posts, or at whoever I follow. I don’t go to look at products/ads. If I open a product catalog, I do that to purposefully look at products.

In what way is reflection nasty? What compile-time validation do I actually lose by using struct tags for CLI arg parsing?

As if there was no bullying in any other age? Is Apple's walled garden really the source of this bullying? Teenagers can bully each other about anything.

Agreed. I finally tried Github Copilot for a bit at work. It felt like babysitting a bad developer. I have no confidence in the correctness of the code it produces, so everything requires careful review. Sometimes it spits out very broken c

How is this any different a concern than losing your physical passport while traveling?

In the US, it currently costs $165 in total for a passport book (new or renewal).[1] That’s more than enough for a cheap android phone. 1. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-app...

If being forgery-resistant is the argument for paper docs, a passport that identifies me using strong cryptography is just as forgery-resistant (likely more so). And we could do a cryptographic verification without a persistent internet con

Yes, I have Envy apples at my grocery stores in the US. Wikipedia says they are grown in Washington state here. Envy apples are my favorite. They tend to be more expensive than Fuji, but are about the same price now.

I agree with you as far as the current state of LLMs, but I also feel like we humans have preconceived notions of “thought” and “reasoning”, and are a bit prideful of them. We see the LLM sometimes do sort of well at a whole bunch of tasks.

This is an unnecessarily derisive comment. I know if I like the taste of a new dish without being a great chef. And so can people know if they (and their friends) will buy and use a $3k - or $1.5k - VR headset.

I only skimmed the article, which seems to argue for a level of well-roundedness in computer science programs (coming from an author who dropped out of their CS program in favor of philosophy in the 90s). I’d sympathize more with this if co

I was surprised to not see a mention of `git diff` anywhere in the post. Out of curiosity, I setup two directories where the second has a new file, a modified file, and a removed file compared to the first: $ tree dir1/ dir2&#x2F

The core of every HashiCorp product is/was OSS. None of Spacelift is OSS, for example. I’m not claiming it’s not the same monetization model, but with endless talk from these companies about the commitment to OSS and the virtues of OSS

It's also ironic that most of the companies supporting OpenTF have closed-source products, yet they demand that HashiCorp keep their products open source.
