I honestly found the women interesting in the book, and not samey. I mean the Alethi have a masculine/feminine society shift, but Navani, Jasnah and Shallan all very different. The characters aren't flat at all, there's a lot

Ah. I know what you mean about Venli/Eshonai throwbacks. Those gave me a few "ugh here we go again" moments on my read through, but they do build up to give more context about the Parshendi and how/why the current confli

I've been saying this for years, and it gets down voted occasionally, but safari/webkit feels like the new IE6. I know Chrome is very bullish with adding extra features and is aggressively pushing some standards, but I've rar

As a late millennial: yep. We're in the same boat. Nihilistic optimism isn't the worst coping mechanism, though!

More broadly, this is the ages old surrogate vs natural key discussion, but yes the comment completely misses the point of the article. I can only assume they didn't read it in full!

I don't know the authors of those posts, so I don't want to put word in their mouth, but neither seem to be delusional about the "if it compiles, it works" phrase. The first one qualifies it with "most of the time&q

There's also a slight performance caveat when it comes to interfaces vs intersections (&) to keep in mind: https://github.com/microsoft/Typescript/wiki/Performance#pre...

Technically there's still a build step happening under the hood! But another benefit of shifting TS into JSDoc comments is that it also works in browsers. That being said, while I understand the aversion to unnecessary complexity, I&#x

As someone who was raised by aggressive alcoholics, and I have myself struggled with weed addiction in the past (and seen weed addiction in others), it's really difficult to compare the substances. Yes, weed dependence is bad and peopl

I generally like—and write—these types of doc comments myself. It just looks nicer in docs/intellisense. I'm a big proponent of "everything public should have a doc comment," even if it's a short sentence. Doesn&#x2

Probably an unpopular take, but I really think Vercel has lost the plot. I don't know what happened to the company internally. But, it feels like the first few, early, iterations of Next were great, and then it all started progressivel

Tangentially related, but I'm low key miffed that em dashes get a bad rep now because of AI. They're a great way to "inject" something into a sentence, similar to how people speak in person. I feel like my written style

It takes considerably more effort and skill to treat colleagues as humans rather than "outputs" or ticket processing nodes. Most (middle) management is an exercise in ass-covering, rather than creating healthy teams. They get easi

Are we witch hunting Cloudflare now? What have they done? I think overall CF seems like a pretty decent company? Lol I'm a bit out of the loop it seems. Also what mis-information (other than the claiming CF integrated with LE, but it t

My bad! I slightly confused my timeline. CF offered free certs long before LE!

Right, DoctorOW correct me; I have limited memory about the state of affairs from a decade ago. They offered free certs for a long time regardless of LE integration

I never said Cloudflare was behind Let's Encrypt… Did I? Probably just a misunderstanding. Someone l pointed out I mixed up my timeline a bit because this was over a decade ago, but it turns out CF offered free certs even earlier than

by spoiler 10mo ago
To be fair, Cloudflare is also the reason why most sites even have TLS at all, because it offered free certs (through letsencrypt I think?) in a fairly easy to set up way. Certs used to be expensive, and had way more operational overhead an

Uh, I've used the package repository with GitHub, and I don't remember having to do this! So, I'm not entirely sure what's happening here. I think this might be accidental complexity because there's probably a misco

U agree it adds a bit of complexity, but all code adds complexity. Maybe interacted with CIs too much and it's Stockholm syndrome, but they are there to help tame and offload complexity, not just complexity for complexity'a sake

You're sarcastic, but heavens above, have I had some cringe interviews in my last round of interviews, and most of the absurdity came from smaller start-ups too

I don't think it's actually infinit, but it's probably very high! We do have little receptors (cones) in our eyes (retina) that react chemically to light. So the density is the resolution (and different cone types react to di

In my head, and the way its describe the generic and specific are swapped. The core handles a specific, pure problem. The core is generic (do you get the data via http, databases, filesystem, etc) then becomes irrelevant to the core problem

I think it's just a contrived example. They probably wanted to show more than a single thing composing in a very short post given it's from their Toilet series. Replace it with `getUsers(filters)` or even a specialised function, a

You described a lot of orthogonal points and highlighted your opinions, more than pointed out flaws in the article. I use Tailwind at work at a large company, and it's... Okay. Its biggest strength is the documentation, since most comp

I know it's not exclusive to Go or any language, but you can most certainly write incomprehensible code in it. If anything, expressiveness and proper abstractions can save you from this. I think people often get burnt by bad abstractio

Yes, there's always sloppy packages, or ones that need side effects (but that's usually very rare, and sometimes even then it's because of sloppyness), but installing something via package manager comes with certain expectati

My experience is that if I know what I want, CC will produce better code, given I specify it correctly. The planning mode is great for this too, as we can "brainstorm" and what I have seen help a lot is if I ask questions about wh
