Their new government seems like an absolute dream: legalize cannabis, push European federation, now this. There's gotta be a catch somewhere.

The Rust community is famous for being friendly. This means that people who are not good at being friendly are being careful what they say there, or have left that space.

And at many seemingly functioning companies, toxic executives keep their jobs as long as they're keeping a large enough amount of their peers happy.

HR rules don't typically apply to executives even when it's stated that they apply to executives.

I think it's pretty naive to think that digital privacy allowing spreading of child sexual abuse material is going to be accepted in the long run. If we don't figure out a better answer to how we can have one without the other the

The first android phone I still remember owning was Sony/Ericsson Xperia Ray. It was 3.3 inches in size (~51.0% screen-to-body ratio). I could hold the whole device in my hand. It was awesome. Their next model even had a physical keybo

Everything's about luck. Are you smart? Luck. Are you good looking? Luck. Are you rich? Again, some combination of things that are all essentially about luck.

>Sometimes I also wonder why Org Mode is not as popular as Markdown, the former is far more powerful. Powerful seems to imply complicated to implement. Same reason why markdown is beating asciidoc in everything.

Oh yeah. PHP was the first language where I thought "hey, this thing that already works, I could rewrite it in exactly the same form in another language". I rewrote a Perl payment gateway thing that I had written almost alone earl

Can you pinpoint anything in PHP that allowed you to gain such knowledge better than whatever your first language was?
257.
by vegai_ 5y ago
If you have to learn a new language for some reason and you don't know what to pick, go for something that has things you've never done before. Perhaps consult TIOBE for extra data points if you value current popularity. Some popu

PHP has a lot of quirks that have to be learned so that they can be avoided. It's a bit of a time sink in that way, and the sort of time sink that doesn't accumulate new skills that could be applied elsewhere.

There is probably a set of "good languages to learn" for every individual. There are two good reasons to learn a programming language: 1. You're using it for actual work 2. Learning it will teach you something fundamental I f

Sure, but why move to an alternative that's almost as bad? YAML's problem is that whitespace is significant. TOML could be superior to it if it weren't for the fact that they forgot to forbid indentation. And now indented TOM

Many companies are also doing Atlassian alternatives. It doesn't mean they're trying to implement everything the Atlassian piece of software does, just the most important parts.
