Markdown is so much easier to read and maintain in its raw form. I can't imagine trying to take meeting notes in html. ``` - [ ] Item 1 - [ ] Item 2 ``` ``` <ul> <li><checkbox> <label>Item 1</label>

Most mortgagers require home insurance as part of the loan terms. They will increase your monthly payment due to offset the risk of their stake in your property. It's like paying for insurance, without any of the benefits.

* Copilot is great * Great for sanity checking your plans or designs (ex: "What are the best ways of securing a multi-tenant application?") * Great for bootstrapping a presentation or pitch (ex: "Please create a presentation

Why not? It's a great mix of productivity and power and the Microsoft/Azure ecosystem works really well together. You can go with dynamic languages if you're flying fast and loose, or native languages like Go/Rust if you

I really like skaffold for stuff like this, and it's a single binary.

Maven Enforcer does have a rule for duplicate class _names_ (which includes the entire namespace), but I think the author was more talking about it's enforcement of duplicate dependencies. For example, it will detect when you have diff

Side note: Statements like that paragraph drive me absolutely batty. There have been tons of novels, novellas, movies, comics, YouTube videos, poems (yep) imagining all sorts of aspects of the singularity. How fast it comes on How this was

Is it working? Give "Amish abuse" a search in google, limiting people's access to communication can also make it hard for them to get help or to realize that they have access to other options a few miles up the road.

You're not too far off from the arguments people made about the internet not too long ago. It's too easy to access information that could easily be incorrect...even maliciously so! You're better off sticking to published book

Just search for "overdrive pedal" on Sweetwater and you'll see a lot of pedals that have been around for decades. Read up on the newer ones and you'll see they generally just add novelty options and variations to classic

There was an old (but popular) study that showed people were less likely to make healthy snack choices when they were asked to memorize more digits. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/209563#metadata_info_ta...

It's been a smash hit at work. There is a bit of a learning curve, but nothing compared to kubectl. : for changing "resource" types (and a few other miscellaneous things) / for filtering shift-? to see more commands

Give Skaffold a shot, takes a lot of the pain out of running locally. I think of it as a simple wrapper around Docker, Kubernetes, Helm and Port-Forwarding (plus other options I don't use) that makes it easy to use the same build/

Skaffold is great, I'm hearing good things about Tilt though so I was planning on giving it a whirl soon.

Why make it worse by choosing backend-only web languages with bad reputations?

by skinnyarms 5y ago
Couple reasons: * It's waning in popularity, new programmers aren't being taught and there isn't a lot of incentive for them to seek it out * Other languages are also good at making websites but many are more popular and more

Those startups you mention are 15+ years old, would they still choose PHP today? Maybe you haven't heard of startups failing because of choosing the wrong stack, but I'll wager you don't hear about most startups failing becau

Facebook and Wikipedia were both founded ~20 years ago, think they would make that same decision today? PHP works, but imho starting a new company or career with PHP is a mistake.

Yep, almost 20 years ago and it's been both a technical and hiring problem for them ever since.

Python, JavaScript, Java, C# have all had great longevity, and much more popular, and can do anything that you can do w/ PHP and a whole lot more. Encouraging new programmers to learn PHP is cruel.

If you like PHP, great. Do you plan on creating a start-up that you intend to scale to a babillion customers? That you intend to hire teams of developers for? Probably not a good idea. Are you a new programmer trying to figure out which lan
