As a Conservative in America (and, as of this year, a former Republican), I watched what was my party railroad one or two good candidates in favor of someone who is a cartoon villain. So I know the feeling.

Yep, code you don't write yourself is the worst thing ever, just like food you don't cook yourself made with ingredients you don't farm yourself on farmland you don't discover yourself...

I didn't downvote, but there's a negative perception around Arch users kinda like vegans/vim-users/emacs-users, a la "how can tell if someone uses Arch? They'll tell you, over and over again." The comment

When I was younger, I had a commercial-grade stapler (the big ones that advertise stapling through N-hundred sheets at once) go into my pointer finger on my left hand. The resulting bone infection eroded all the bone in my fingertip, which

It's really nice for when you have to do operations where you want a "tuple" in Javascript. Consider the case of finding all companies along with their hires from the last week, but only if the company has a hire from the l

I do love the quirky sense of humor though: "In a typical build system, the dependency arrows go down. Although this is the way they would naturally go due to gravity, it is unfortunately also where the enemy's gate is. This makes

Let's say that tomorrow, Microsoft releases a totally-backwards-incompatible build of Typescript, and starts charging for it. My "way out" of the Typescript ecosystem is: 1.) Change the target to "ES6", and run a co

My gut-reaction to the title was to assume (based on the negative connotation to "time bomb") that you had some code that was permissively-licensed (something user-friendly like MIT or BSD), and then when the bomb "goes off&q
