Trans are mentally ill and need to be treated as such, as in they need to seek professional help in accepting biological reality. Encouraging them in their delusions which they wil…

I love how you both acknowledge that health care workers quitting over forced vaccination is an issue while immediately dismissing their actual experience of having worked through …

Because the timing IS information. Why was a piece of information stated up front, or last, or in the fine print, or released to the public on friday at 5pm, etc. We're not evaluat…

It doesn't take a rocket science to figure out a cokehead who was kicked out of the navy who speaks 0 Russian or Ukranian, and has 0 experience in the energy industry but whose dad…

Also programmers. Walmart is a massive Clojure shop, puts out some very good open source libs, and very much views their IT department as a competitive advantage and not a cost cen…

I would argue that any function that branches on argument type is straight up doing dynamic typing wrong. Well branching may not be the right word. Something resembling pattern mac…

That's some Rails stupidity there, not a dynamic language problem. Autoloading symbols by name is straight up dumb. As for greppable though...then you may as well be using a static…

I'm not a golang fan, but one thing I've noticed about go is that it is possibly the most approachable yet real programming language for beginners I've ever seen. I think this is p…

A bit paradoxically, being a generalist is a particular strength, and as the article points out one of the things you can do to do better at work is work in areas that best utilize…

Honestly you touch one one of the reasons I love Heroku so much. I've never seen a service that manages to do so much of the heavy lifting for me, but at the same time be 0 lock-in…

Get a CD player. It's what I did when I got fed up with Spotify.

We considered the opportunity back when Nixon opened relations with China. Now's the time to consider that the increasing exposure to China plan has blown up in our faces.

They've been mucking with the asset pipeline every single version and their forray into webpacker has been a disaster. Turbolinks and ActionCable have been attempts to compete with…

Eh a lot of these seems like strengths of Django. Rails chasing the SPA dragon has been a source of endless pain.

Remember, the true test of tolerance is tolerating the people who are so intolerant they execute the other people you tolerate on a regular basis.

Calling working as a PA "doomed" is probably the most offensive thing said yet in this thread.

This is just not an option for so many very legitimate use cases. Building client-side apps that aggregate and display information from multiple web services hosting on domains tot…

China is a hostile communist nation that has been waging an economic cold war against the USA for decades. The only benefit from the US is a full divorce from any form of economic …

I think we're talking about different definitions of consistency. In the BSD context, consistancy is that human effort has been put in to get the userspace to look similar. Similar…

Honestly that is a compliment. When it comes to evaluating tech, the best statements are those where you can walk away knowing very clearly that yes, this meets my needs, or no thi…

ooc why didn't you try NetBSD? Isn't running on every little device kinda their wheelhouse?

It made me switch from Linux. If it doesn't sound compelling to you, that's okay too, Linux is great. But I do think focusing on the consistency of design really is the best high-l…
