I believe there are two problems at play here. 1. Inconsistency causing maintainability/readability problems. 2. The desire to avoid discussions about style within a team. If you're talking about 1. here then what you're talk

The issues raised here completely align with my problems with Rubocop. It seems that a lot of people think that one of the main goals for code linting is consistency, when that shouldn't be a goal at all. Consistency is merely a tool,

There's a lot of companies that have the scale to benefit from running their own tech, fewer who have the skills and number of people, but it's not a small niche even so.

I think you're speculating here. Anyway, I don't think the solution to these problems are to just get out of the way and let companies play fast and loose with our data, it's to continually push them to do better.

It's not a free Internet if there's a hidden price the visitor has to pay, which is being tracked and monitored wherever they go.

GDPR isn't a cookie law, it's a data privacy law. Cookies aren't the problem, it's what people are doing with the data that's the issue. You can track people with all sorts of other means other than cookies, you wou

As far as I can tell there's no difference between a "personal" Github account and any other.

Care to elaborate on that? I rather like it. As a developer it's a pain, but as a citizen I find it to be a step in the right direction.

That's pretty much what I do. I've worked remotely as a contractor (from the UK for mostly US companies) and I've rarely set an alarm for work in over 10 years. DST changes just slip past.

Sure, now , but like with most of the world I suspect that the food most people ate traditionally was what they could grow because meat was too expensive for most people to afford most of the time and that's what they mean when they s

I don't think that's what people mean by a "Mediterranean diet", vacations and resorts aren't really representative of a traditional diet, which is what I think people are referring to.

If by "TV show" you mean "sex tape" then you're on the money.

I guess I don't see the scale of the issue. Yes, in aggregate the costs are higher than each individual charge, and that works out at some visible % of your revenue, but it seems like all the things we've mentioned so far are nece

I absolutely loath it. I have a new 16" Macbook Pro, I had a 2014 Macbook Pro. I now have to buy a crap ton of adapters to get the same functionality as I had in 2014, and sometimes they don't work. I don't know why, they are

Not really. Choosing to help promote hate speech isn't a neutral position, it's an active one.
