Opening "man bash" transformed my experience with bash, which has now risen to the top in the list of my favourite languages. I don't get all the hate. I used fish for a while and really liked it, but I realise now this was o

You should use it because it's a super cool language, it's open source, and if people used it more to develop the package ecosystem a bit more, it would easily end up trumping all the others you mentioned. Anecdotally, I used Octa

My honest reply to that would be, do some more java and see for yourself. Your last experience with java was Java 5, which is ... ancient. Java has gone through a lot of changes, and is actually a very nice, streamlined language now. You&#x

A pixel is what you define it to be. This is a good thing, as long as your definition is a useful definition for the purposes of the discussion in which it is used. It only becomes a problem if you're using one definition but your audi

This works exactly as intended then, no? Turning off assertions is effectively a "you are no longer bound by this contract" action. If management feels toilet cleaners arent adding value, fires them, and then shit hits the fan, th

Not that this is of help to you now, but my own controversial take is, avoid any services that push 2FA. Especially if they do so aggressively. This includes things like switching from github to sourcehut for me (though MS+copilot didnt hel
