   Pilot Wave and Objective Collapse are physical theories, Copenhagen is an administrative agreement, Many Worlds is pop-sci religion.

   Hiring open source rockstars is problematic, so is hiring resume-driven trend-chasers. But I think that author is missing at least one more category: senior engineers that worked in multiple programming languages over their career, who can

   Thanks for the explanation, official repo doesn't make it clear enough for me. So, did I understand correctly, that Pico installs both an agent on the remote machine and a commit hook on the local machine? Why didn't they minimize

   In Clojure '-' is not a special symbol, so it's used as a word separator in function names, like 'get-in'. That's possible because '-' is not an operator, but is a function with a 1-symbol name.

   Is it fair to say that 'expect vs ht' is the same as 'curl vs headless browser'?

    Is 'curl E' a standard notation nowadays? When I was at uni we used 'rot E'.

    In US buying medical services without insurance is very expensive. You choices are: - get health insurance from your employer - get covered by insurance of your spouse - buy insurance from your own pocket - don't buy insurance and risk

    From what I understood, it's a protocol for exposing a tree of files for synchronization and concurrent editing, similar to WebDAV.

    That's because most Github repos are not for collaborative development, but rather for marketing and customer support.

    There is a nuance here: those reports from management should go to QA, not to developers. If QA can't transform manager report into a proper bug report, then it's not worth anything. Also, QA will have time to verify the fix, unli

    I think it's not about the Jira itself, it's about who manages it and power asymmetry it creates. If a bug tracker is configured by managers it will be optimized for manager productivity at the cost of developer productivity. Same

    The number 1 problem React was created to solve is synchronizing state with UI (FB chat originally). Web Components don't provide any solution to this problem.

    Oh, I absolutely agree that there are all kinds of constraints when dealing with real world problems, including non technical ones like time constraints and expertise level. But those constraints are never documented and communicated when t

    What's the long-standing problem and what's the idea behind an elegant solution?
20. 320.▲

    Completely agree here. Complexity is the result of combining simple things together to optimally solve a specific problem under specific boundary conditions. The reason so many software devs are frustrated by complex artifacts, is that the

    I'm always surprised at how much people can talk about simplicity and complexity without giving any definition of those terms. Basically, the actual content of this article is giving the author's own indirect definition of the wor

    An issue usually doesn’t have the code for implementation of the solution. Yes, very often patches are attached in comments, but they are not required and usually attached by other people, not the author.

    Honestly, a good PR should have a very clear description of the idea and a sample implementation, and then a trusted core contributor re-implements the fix on his own. But Github users are entitled and spoiled by Github-marketed commercial

    I don't think anti-TS people are 'scared to learn something new'. I'm sure most of those people write TS on a daily basis, because it's an industry standard right now.

    There is a talk 'Programming With Hand Tools' by Tim Ewald, where the author explains why he uses hand tools (as opposed to electric tools) in his woodworking hobby and how this might be reflected back to programming.

    One advantage is slightly less typing, which might be useful in CLI tools and UI filters. Also, people don't want to bring a full JS interpreter in those kinds of interfaces for various reasons.

    I think problem solving has analytical and creative parts too. Like in Polya's 'How to Solve It' you have clear analytical steps in the beginning (what's known, what's unknown, etc), then 'Boom! Heuristic!&#x27
