I know that the use of cat isn't technically required, but I still build bash oneliners step-by-step and find starting with `cat foo` to be a helpful reminder of the format of the file.

iirc long range transfer of electricity is extremely expensive and difficult. They might be able to supply power locally, but they wouldn’t be able to export to the west. Unless they used it to power manufacture of other fuel sources like g

There are plenty of reasons to dunk on Heroku from the last year. I’m not sure why asking customers to pay for hosting us one of them.

I live semi-rurally with really crappy ADSL available. Starlink was a god-send. The number of projects that require extremely good connectivity is really surprising. In particular, I was surprised by how much docker pull struggles on a poor

Re-reading the books right now and I totally understand most of the changes. It’s not an art house film, they need broad appeal.

I think that Rings of Power bangs up against this timeline compression a lot. It feels weird to us that no one is concerned about Sauron - he was just there! But in the canon timeline there were long stretches of time where nothing very int

Yes! The UK has viewed private sector efficiency as axiomatic throughout my life. The New Statesmen has a good article on the systemic impact of such decisions in the current issue: https://magazine.newstatesman.com/2022&#x2

Very frustrated by this while messing around with some CSS this morning. I was using the .cover class from every-layout which adds margin to this element making it very obvious that it's there.

My experience has been that word of mouth is by far the best way to win new clients. It's a warm introduction, everyone involved has some social incentives to behave appropriately, and the lead normally has a rough idea of pricing from

Some movies remain popular long after they were released though.

I want the software in cars to be locked down. I don't want to be on the road with a car that's running some hacked together software. That's what makes this so infuriating - the risks involved in switching to an open sourc

This article doesn't really lay out what - from a customer perspective - would class heroku as a sinking ship? The DevEx is still great, the alternatives are either borderline ridiculous (K8S is a laughably complex beast in comparison)

I don't think I understand why DDD and PaaS are mutually exclusive. Can you elaborate please?

This is the sticking point I've found. The definition of "unit" is different depending on who I talk to.

What kind of libertarianism? Afaik left-libertarianism is in favour of unions. If it's right-libertarianism you're referencing then can you share some of the "economics science" that promotes it?

I’m not sure I understand why kotlin will need to catch up with loom? Blocking kotlin code should benefit immediately.

This has gotten better in the UK. I give blood regularly and the questionnaire now makes a distinction for monogamous homosexual relationships. It doesn’t impact me so I’m not sure if there’s some other hurdle to cross but I thought it was

I use miro and figma as examples of products that would be extremely hard to build as a traditional SSR app.

This is a false-dichotomy/straw man. The conversation is about a javascript-heavy approach being overkill. I haven’t seen many arguing for noscript here. Implementing a form that autosubmits and updates an element takes very little js

Why? Going to a music festival to see a single act is pretty common and seems analogous to me.

Sure, but we don’t need to be sat next to them. A large e-commerce company can A/B test new models to improve. The success metric is revenue. For smaller customer bases this is a tricky problem, but I’d argue that automated recommendat

What’s C# and .Net really like on Linux now? I know Microsoft says it’s great but I’m once bitten twice shy after trusting that Azure would be good. I am happy to try different languages but I will never again support a Windows Server over

Any stateless service can be scaled horizontally. But the fixed cost of running the JVM is higher than the runtimes in other ecosystems (say a rust application as an extreme example). The JVM has had an outrageous amount of effort put into

I feel like I bump into this a lot in the tech world (especially the highly funded) and I’m not sure what the fallacy is called. There are existing industries with smart people with a wealth of experience. A tech company comes along and cla

I would love to know how many members of that team read the book cover-to-cover. I’m consistent surprised by how many developers invoke a particular methodology without having sone the work to understand it. In particular, I’ve gone through
