You seem to mix two different goals here. Atomic commits across everything surely is a feature of a monorepo which a manyrepo setup cannot replicate. However, the "test whole company's code" could also be achieve with a centr

There are different kinds of stability. For Debian it means version numbers stay the same as much as possible. For Arch it means software does not crash because bugs get fixed in newer versions.

If I remember it correctly the origin story is „Docbook as non-XML syntax“, so it really fell from the XML tree.

RestructuredText (usually used within Sphinx) is the only alternative in the same class. Unfortunately there are hardly any comparisons. Maybe there are no people who have significant experience with both.

I didn’t like Meadow‘s book that much: http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/thinking_in_systems.html It is too superficial for me to be useful. I have books from Gerald Weinberg and John Sterman on my to-read list.

If you made a nice script and people pester you for a GUI now, this looks like a nice low-effort way to satisfy them.

Some years ago I regularly played Risk with three friends. It always started with a fight about the three southern continents. Of course, only three can get one. The left over player tried this strategy to stretch across Asia, Europe, and m

The creator of Dungeon World is a big fan of Burning Wheel. He has a video where he explains why it is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E79DDGdX62I His point is that game mechanics reveal what a game is really about.

Yes there are better games than Risk. That holds for practically all old games. For example, I don’t consider chess a good game. With good players, it usually ends in a draw which is unsatisfying.

This basic strategy „get a card each turn and avoid losing armies“ gets you from beginner to intermediate. Once every player understood this it once again is a question of who controls the southern continents. The additional two or three ar

If you drop the assumptions that you can forecast or plan, you can only do small steps "interactively". So invest no effort into planning but think about the last days and change something so you will make better decisions tomorro

What I appreciate coming from D is fine grained control of mutability. In Rust it is all or nothing. You cannot have a mutable container of immutable items. In D a string as a mutable array of immutable characters, for example. You can appe

The question is not runtime vs compile time. The question is whether you do the meta programming/code generation within the language or as external tool. Code bloat is an issue in both cases. Macros make it easy to write code which gen

I'm so torn about macros. They are awesome but they make compile-time arbitrarily bad. The D compiler is roughly as fast as the Go one. However, D has macros though and that makes it very slow to compile sometimes. The alternative to m
