This just generally over-estimates whether you can "measure" good work on scale, and make your org produce more of it. Google didn't manage to measure and predict its own employees' work [0]. Even with 6 months probation

Most projects start with tree-sitter and then switch to language-native parsers. Either way, it's not something you solve yourself – you just find the language-specific implementation load megabytes of WASM on the frontend or generate

Whether man belongs into the city or wilderness is a question as old as humanity. It was pondered 4,000 years ago in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

As someone else said, much about the post is simply not testable. Is someone at Facebook working on the Metaverse a crucial part of prototyping new business models, or are they doing busywork? It'll only be clear in hindsight.

Sure, just gather all requirements upfront and hope they never change. Customers know what they want /s If it was about the ticket system, it'd be solved already. But it isn't.

> Every entry below points at a real paper that the working group adopted. None of these are arguments. They are admissions in writing. I smell AI. If you don't write it, I don't read it.

I'm believe projects that pin old versions or maintain their own shoddy fork will be left behind. Deprecation is fine.

Use a .devcontainer and you're done in 10 seconds without any new runtime implementations.

They probably don't have systems in place to even detect that data was snorkeled off. So "no indication" is completely correct.

Which is the exact same mechanism non-dictatorships use, which was precisely her point. Just change the metrics of success and the rest will follow.

Obviously. The more unethical the work, the more you have to pay. Shows up for immoral industries such as gambling and smoking too.

Sounds like it would be Apple's job to develop their own platform. I think SwiftUI etc al don't work on Linux and Windoes and Android, right? While HTML works?

The Führerkult also has a problematic conclusion: Everything needs to happen during the Führer's lifetime, for only he can restore the nation. That's obviously a problem when your Führer is 80+ years old and overweight. It means t

I'm no C++ dev, but as an outsider, it sure reads like the whole "int is variable length" mistake again.

I've only looked into one device en detail, the Jolla. Okay, no touch typing, maps apps don't start or don't find your location, WhatsApp probably doesn't work and I guess I don't have to start with banking apps.

I'm lucky to have learned the web with Angular 2.x It scopes CSS to components by default, and keeps HTML, CSS and JavaScript seperate.

I don't understand. Are you saying you're capable of building a rival to Openclaw in a few days, but you're just choosing not to? That's amazing.

I don't understand why you'd want them to built another CI system. Just for the sake of it? Feels like using a free Jenkins gets you everything you want. Doesn't need more than a container or Java either.

Smells like a compromise. Microsoft enables BitLocker by default, thus protecting companies and users at scale. But the price is a backdoor they hope noone finds. Someone else claimed this doesn't affect people who actually care about

What I hate about .NET is the atrocious naming. Net Core, Net Framework, Net Common Core, .NET.. And God forbid any of these frameworks ever expose what they are in a config file. You start a project, hand it to a colleague and he can&#x2

There is no reason at all. You could simply throw the information away. It's a ridiculously extreme stance and lacks proper explanation how this will lead to a better web.

I long for the day when they will supervise CI/CD systems. Trying to fix syntax errors in strong interpolation on a 5-minute-delay loop is hell.

It's true, though. The life Homer Simpson had is out of reach. The school system gives boys worse grades. Once you're a man, women expect their partner to earn more than they do, while women want the same pay as their male colleag
