"Marginally"? It millions of man-hours of development to get VS Code even remotely near what JetBrains has been doing well for over a decade, and that's being very generous in judgement. How much money was wasted trying to

It's the same crap preached by the cloud infrastructure folks trying to get everyone on a rental/sharecropping model. Ah those sweet rents

Every body says this but how many of us are going to want randos treating our vehicles like shit because its a rental?

Yup, exactly that

Well, you'd have to see it before you judge. It's super simple, like 5 or 10 lines total. Handles 1000x+ the traffic it sees. In any case concurrency is nothing to be afraid of. Do they not teach dining philosophers any more? My p

What is your idea of 'most cases'? I've personally written real-time back-of-house order-tracking with rails and postgres pubsub (no redis!), and wrote a record synchronization queuing system with a table and some clever lock

I'm not saying they need tons and tons and tons of people. > And Account Safety/Support/Security/Compliance Customer Service is (almost everywhere) very much a bureaucracy. Fine. At least in that world you can talk to

Dude you are seriously underestimating postgres' versatility. It does so many different things, and well!

Is there anything we can do to force the FAANGS of this world to maintain a proper amount of customer support staff? I am so tired of hearing about these stories. We need to start showing up with torches and pitchforks. I swear, this shor

Your IDE. Which if I had to guess is VS Code. Which not everyone uses. And neither does everyone use typescript. And if some of the best in the business can't (or won't) keep separation of concerns, then I can't help but ch

The separation of languages is a natural byproduct of each language being specific to its domain. HTML does layout. CSS does styling. JS does frontend functionality. Server enforces business logic, controllers, and the data model. It's

Funny you say that, I have the same feelings about putting arbitrary HTML in my JS with React. Seems like we've all collectively forgotten about separation of concerns? Give me templated HTML any day of the week please :)

You'd be surprised what you can get out of nothing more than Rails + Turbolinks. As long as your site idea follows a "pages" analogy it is pretty much instantaneous. Anything more than that and you're trying to make an S

Metasploit framework is written in Ruby. Also, Jekyll, Sinatra, and Puppet or Chef? I think? You might also want to ask the Japanese community as I have heard it is big there.

So Home and End don't go to the start and end of line, respectively, when I hit those connected via a remote terminal (using PuTTY). Seems to be universal to the entire OS, as I get this behavior in bash, vim, and pretty much everythin

I love FreeBSD, but the way it behaves with Home and End keys drives me nuts. Is there a way to set it to behave as Linux consistently, across all users, session, and jails?

We all know who it was -- NCMEC was getting on Apple's case because their CSAM reporting numbers were orders of magnitude lower than the other big tech companies. Someone in NCMEC upper management even wrote Apple nauseatingly perky co

Wow, what a cool story. I use that term on the regular, what an interesting history! I must also confess I haven't felt this way about sativas in a long time. Not sure what happened but sometimes it makes me kind of sad to not feel tha

Honestly I doubt that will happen. Every glitzy ad showing the possibilities of AR are a lie... we will only have that sci-fi world when holography reaches mainstream adoption in the way we see it in sci-fi

I've said the same thing about smoking sativas, so to learn that others have capitalized on this sort of 'increased visualization capacity' of LSD is not surprising. > (I am on the side of things that drugs in general turn

I don't really agree with this... for one, legalese is actually very specific for the domain with which it is written (and that specificity is part of why it is so hard to read); and for another, the code in front of you might be e

Given that humans seem incapable of writing bug-free code, 'code is law' seems like a power grab by the intellectually-inclined to exploit more germaine users without end. So perhaps it is better to think of code as 'intent&#
