For game developers/designers/artists, this does appear to be the case from what I can tell, but only because they are ruthlessly exploited. Otherwise it is indeed a ridiculous and pseudo-macho attitude that impresses nobody.

Make sure to smash that Like and subscribe button. This video is sponsored by SKYN condoms. Get a 6-pack for just $8.99 that you can truly feel. And now for the red cup with OpenCV.

The best way to learn a subject is from an authoritative source. 'socially' results in a whole bunch of misinformation and wrong practices, like PHP developers chmod'ing 777 the hell out of the system because they don't

People don't read anymore these days. Which explains why so much of modern software sucks.

I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Would you go to a doctor who doesn't know or want to do the right thing?

I will never understand why bug-bounty hunters work for such a low pay. They are doing the hard work for peanuts and absolutely no benefits or long-term incentives. $25k per bug, while the CEO and friends are going to make billions from thi

Trusting it because other people trust it for no apparent reason does not seem like a very compelling argument. For all I know, the Rust and homebrew communities know squat about how to securely deliver binaries.

Checksums and the binaries can be stored in different places for redundancy.

One pattern (not necessarily a good one, but it's definitely used out there) is to define your "generic" code in macros, and then expose a macro such as MAKE_LIST(int) that in this case instantiates a list of int. Then you ge

I willn't take any of this no more. I amn't fond of your ostentatiousness.

Not to mention the collection of your data. Check out that privacy policy, first thing I read.

On the other extreme there are environments like Rust/Cargo and JS/Node, where you pull the hash table and you get 20 additional packages of untested who-knows-what that nobody asked for and that are recently vectors for malware.

It's not clear what 'ultra simple' means. Could have just said that it doesn't handle collisions. And I think for most cases, you do want to handle collisions.

> Astro was a catalyst that caused developers to ask, ‘Do we really need to ship all that JavaScript?’ The reintroduction of multi-page apps (MPAs) in a modern context is a huge opportunity for developers in the Jamstack ecosystem to mak

For the same reason you re-implement software that already exists, for example.

Although the results are not surprising, it is interesting to think how this became a problem in the first place. You'd think a school would know what's appropriate for the classroom and have banned phones from day one. I'd g

They are sarcastic and rebuttals of the idea that 'Linux is not ready for the desktop' because it doesn't have things the author of the post considers necessary.
