Isn’t Hyprland created by a fascist?

You do have to install/setup a lot more stuff yourself, fwiw. That’s probably largely what it is, that there’s little that comes pre-baked. It’s basically a build-a-distro toolkit.

This argument doesn’t really hold up, honestly. That is all easily done with shell scripting, and shell scripts can be committed to source control and shared to other members of the team easily. This is what my team does for our common API needs. It even has ecosystem support in many places, such as popular openapi renderers providing curl command examples for routes automatically, being able to copy the exact request made by a web browser as a curl command from the network tab automatically, and so on.

I use curl for absolutely everything, including testing out my work for each and every ticket I work on. Been doing this for years now. It works great and has many, many advantages over property bullshit like Postman.

Wrong comment to rely to?

It absolutely doesn’t matter. What matters is not changing.

I really should link people to this site more often. The author is 100% correct.

Meanwhile, vim keeps trucking along, 34 years later.

This is as dumb as broadly overgeneralizing based on race, gender identity, or any other axis of a person’s life. Just utterly useless and entirely missing the point.

We are engaged in a full-on class war where the elite of the world have systematically dismantled our institutions and plunged us head-on into fascism, and you’re focused on punching laterally at lazily-constructed caricatures. I’m sure there are plenty of parents that fit that description, just as there many more that don’t.

Isn’t this the one that’s in bed with Microsoft?

You can also revoke that consent, and HIPAA requires data to be able to be completely destroyed. no way they are compliant.

Except that there’s a lot of evidence that productivity increases with work from home. Less wasted time on commutes, fewer interruptions, easier to manage work-life balance, etc.

Seems crazy to only be realizing they’re evil now, but I guess it’s something at least.

I’ve never really understood it, tbh. I’ve always rounded to the nearest whole number. I don’t know why you would do anything but that. The whole “$6.99 is $6” thing makes absolutely no sense to me. I see that and immediately see $7, without even having to think about it really.

Obviously don’t have the full context, but rarely is it ever advisable to give third parties direct access to a database. There are many reasons for this, like, for example, the fact that doing so makes schema migrations practically impossible.

I think it’s great and really straightforward. it’s quite simply asking people to say yes or no to AI, and the response has been overwhelmingly no.

No one actually copy/pastes thousands of lines of code. We use libraries.

Languages do matter a lot. Yes, they are all technically equivalent, but the craft of software engineering is much, much more about social/cultural/community considerations than it is computational ones. What the community around a programming language values matters, because it informs a great deal about what’s idiomatic in a language, what libraries are available, what kind of bugs are possible (or not), how easy code is to read, comprehend, and maintain, and much more.

What makes a language good is not what programs you can write in it, but how it constrains what you can do such that you naturally writing good code. For example, null pointer exceptions (or segfaults in C, etc.) are a classic problem that plagues many mainstream languages like Java, C#, Python, etc. In Haskell (and a handful of other languages, including Rust), null pointer exceptions are not possible, because nulls do not exist in these languages. Taking away this language “feature” actually increases the power of the language, because you can guarantee that a certain class of common bugs are not possible in your program. So languages that restrict known bad programming practices lead to programmers writing better programs and, more generally, a community around the language that resonates with these philosophies.
