I guess you didn’t read the article to find the reason

As always, ‘Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no‘

I mean yeah, you’re right. But in practise npm allows you to wildcard version numbers. And when you come across old npm projects, you’re likely dealing with people that have wildcarded their dependency versions. Sure if you start from scrat

To be fair I prefer Maven, but probably more for the culture. In Node you generally ask for the latest version and hope it’s still available/the project still builds when you come back to it. pom files are more clunky but they do tie y

I hated NPM... then I started trying to use some Python projects. Now I like NPM.

I’m more tempted to think the computers made them more productive and took away the complexity, allowing employers could pay them less. Productivity is just a measure in how much people are paid after all

Good communicators welcome the chance to get on the same wavelength as the writer. It helps you understand them better.

I find stuff like that is never an issue when you're coding with experienced contractors. But when you're coding with juniors they can get really militant over stuff like that

I think it's because people just want to find a simple reason that lets them look down on fat people. 'It's CICO! Just lose the weight.' Done. No thought needed, and they get to feel superior. General knowledge around pr

It sounds like you're agreeing with me but with argumentative phrasing. Maybe it's just down to the way I'm reading it though.

by simmerup 4y ago
You say that, but a few years ago CICO was heavily conflated with IIFYM dieting. The nutrient aspect was heavily overlooked in popular fitness
614.
by simmerup 4y ago
Like a good engineer I used to follow CICO religiously. It’s so simple and ‘right’, you just budget your calories and that’s all that matters. This led to me eating treat bags of sweets for lunch. Cycles of months putting on weight and then

It's too much to expect an academic to engage SMEs

If it's better paid and more interesting work, Id just take it and deal with the fall out when/if it happens.

The theological implications of finding planets even more hospitable than earth will be interesting.

There are suggestion’s that we could catch up to it in 26 years if we launch a probe. That’s be an excellent way to dispel doubt

It’s a shame lithium is in a shortage due to the heat crisis in China, electric car batteries may be hard to come by

So does this mean inflation isn’t coming down once the Russia-Ukraine war ends?

Similarly, when I was doing 500 calorie a day cuts, watching people binge eat food kept me sane and satisfied any food cravings I had. Luckily, ever since eliminating sugar from my diet and doing monthly one day fasts I get no way as hungry

The problem is that Tolkien was an exceptionally good story teller with a clear idea of his universe. These remakes however get made by people being paid to spin out low tier content based on the IP that Tolkien painstakingly created. They’

The problem with war is that you lose control of the situation extremely fast. Whether the countries want to go to war doesn’t matter when a bluff that isn’t a bluff is called.

I’ve heard using offshore wind turbines to create hydrogen that can be burned is a good way forward

They're low emission for the city they're in however. Air quality is a big deal

Mainly it was only panicking newbies who paid the ransom. Losing stuff in Eve hurts more than most games, so people react in true panic style fashion. There were a few roleplay corps that built in-game reputations on taking ransoms etc seri

It's a very unfriendly game which really teaches you to be the type of cut-throat that doesn't set you up well for real life. I wish I realised that earlier to be honest

By the time I started playing it was more common to ransom & kill than just to ransom. Repeat custom is a rarity in the pirate business

Well, at least you didn't take the ransom and kill them anyway
