This is laughably incorrect. I have purchased multiple high end refrigerators in the past few years and used energy star to determine the opex of them - it influences the high end too.

Absolutely not. Trump got 49.9% to Harris’ 48.3, he didn’t even get the majority. Biden was 51.3 to Trump’s 46.8 in 2020. This was not a landslide. Trump did not get the majority of votes. He has much less of a “mandate” than Biden did.

Hmmmm. Yes but, if I hire a programmer to build me an app and no one ever uses it, I still have to pay the programmer. This is exactly the gotcha. You paid for a service. The outcome isn’t guaranteed.

One place that I think there is a big difference in developer experience is in testing. Rails, as described in the article, comes with CI setup and corresponding tests are automatically generated when using rails generators.

To each their own, but “a handful of config lines at the top of every file” sounds like misery to me. I guess I’ve just drunk the koolaid - but also, there has been a lot of work to make things more predictable, e.g. zeitwerk.

It would be a huge blowout. We didn’t know how to train or eat and athletes smoked and drank substantially more. Meanwhile, the gear evolutions make significant difference. But take distance running - prior to 1954, nobody had done a sub 4

This sounds like you’re discussing code review and coding standards, not version control.

I’m discussing version control.

by sethherr 2y ago
Thats not version control, that’s something you’ve chosen to do with version control. You could just check in your code every night. And, vs not having those commits (even without messages) - what could possibly be the downside?

> branching encourages cutting a program into "independent features" But, you can choose not to branch then? I’m really confused about the trade offs of version control. I can understand trade offs of branching strategies, but

Not only is it speculative, it seems internally inconsistent. Somehow future people will figure out how to reuse stuff, but we can’t currently be bothered. I believe in progress! So we should experiment and figure out how we can improve the

But this still doesn't explain what pretty markup does that's different, just that it doesn't use indentation. Seems like maybe all that's different vs. normal HTML is that it doesn't have angle brackets.

I think it is pretty clearly a goal - when you create marketing campaigns around an aspect of your product (and Apple has around this sort of security), delivering on your promises is clearly a goal. I wouldn’t be surprised if the original

I love Ruby and write it professionally; unfortunately I agree - learning Python is more practical currently.
