The system should support this, e.g. via // @formatter:off/on tags

Not caring about formatting also signals to me that: - they have probably never worked on a codebase where files are edited by more than 1 person - they have never done any significant amount of merging between branches - they have never ma

I for example do not understand how it can be possible that Ukraine transports Russian gas on its pipeline network. Not sure if that's still the case though.

I have a colleague at work who also has to get within 6" of the screen. 2 years ago I switched to a 55" 8k TV as my primary monitor. While everyone was giving me the usual crap about it, this guy, when I showed him what it would l

I feel the author. Very often when I report issues to open source projects, the first response is "why don't you submit a patch?", followed by subtle hints that I am a leech profiting off the backs of volunteers. I am also at

This is probably the first argument for microservices I heard that makes sense to me. Not that I would ever want to give up our monolith, but we do experience the problems you point out.

You're probably right. Anyway, I will be eternally grateful to the creators of H2 Database for showing that it is very much possible to create an entire database including a web interface without forcing dozens of additional dependenci

I've decided not to worry anymore about privacy/security/ethics/politics-related problems with stuff I use. For me, it's just not worth the time and emotional stress anymore. My most important criteria is: What does

interesting take, resonates strongly with my own experience. my views changed a lot from my naive idealistic teen years.

Thank you for this take, which I haven't seen before. I believe it will help me deal with the current doomsday news (and be more stoic in general).

I was missing some info about subpixel anti-aliasing (ClearType) and Low- vs Hi-DPI screens.

My need for speed is a long way from saturated. 360° virtual reality calls at a resolution better than my physical senses is just one thing my unimaginative mind can come up with on the spot.

The 30-lines rule annoyed me the most. Don't force 'clever' solutions if you're looking for readability, maintainability, changeability, debuggability etc. On the other hand, our company doesn't do any technical int

We slow our build down by having a dozen 'tools'-projects with a handful of classes each in a straight dependency-line above our main project that contains 99% of the code. This easily increases our compile time from a few seconds

Interesting thanks! Might indeed be valuable to add to one's toolbox.
