Neither would be the only sane choice. Multinational corporations will always screw individual customers for profit. And the issue with trusting any entity with data isn't really what it will do with it today. The bigger problem is wha

Vanilla emacs without config and plugins, started as a terminal application is a simple editor, just the same as vim. Yes. But that is entirely besides the point. The parent was outraged how developers are unlikely to use only simple text e

yes, unlikely. most people use IDE's, very few limit themselves to simple editors. they're very rare but do exist.

As if. All coke products are way over priced. Just look at the pricing between different serving sizes. Their price differs often less than 30%, even if you compare 0.5l to 2l.

well, our chief architect at my day job (with a degree) "designed" a system with several points of failure, each of which would kill the whole platform if even one of them failed. honestly, a degree really doesn't show compet

by y4mi 7y ago
But... You really don't need a degree for most programming work I've seen at my day job? It's basically just creating various APIs in order to wrap them into some service you can sell. You can do most of that with maybe 1 yea

In math, we actually know and can prove beyond all doubt something to be true. The same can't be said about the reality as we can never be sure that we've accounted for all variables and filled them correctly. This applies to ev

That's why I pointed out the second option (blokada). It's just a matter of installing it and you've got Android wide adblock, which mostly works even in non-website contexts But it doesn't work if you're using a VP

If you're connected to a VPN, install pi-hole on that network and use it as dns. If not, just get blokada from f-droid. It uses 1-3% energy over the day on my phone, but saves around 15% by filtering ads

You can get 10Gbps upstream where you live? And actually afford it? Wow... That's not the case almost anywhere though. And you won't be able to access your own stuff without internet either. That's would be very annoying for

I love orms. They make a simple crud operation so easy, you don't even have to think about them. Every remotely competent developer will however tell you that there are always cases where the orm is a bad fit. And that's exactly w

At first I agreed, but it might actually be a good idea if the payment is enforced. Imagine a scheme in which any traffic has to be bought/paid by the ISP, which is financed by your monthly subscription. So if you open an url, you&#x27

Nope. Things can be solved any number of ways. Often a simple solution with minor changes is better than a quicky designed bandaid with 10 times the LOC It can be a metric, but it doesn't indicate productivity by itself. It's hard
