I'm not even old (mid-20s), but I scale the site to 150%. HN is honestly one of the worst sites I have used with regards to default scaling across resolutions. OTOH the simplicity …

This seems to only really work in languages that allow null variables/timestamps. I wouldn't really want to have to do comparators to the default value of a timestamp.

I think that the biggest differentiator between Discord and the others (mumble, TS, Vent, etc) was that Discord has very mature text chatting as a first class citizen, rather than …

I have been a big fan of the Mozilla Public License 2.0 [1]. I find it is the best combination of "if you use this and improve or modify, those changes need to go to the original c…

There was a really interesting paper [1] being circulated a bit last week in the circles I frequent on a few sites that dug a bit deeper into this. The villains are often very supe…

To be fair, from a security standpoint if you want *the highest security* allowing third party installers is one of the first things I would disable as well.

I have a very hard time getting behind these complex configuration languages. To me what makes a configuration format good is the simplicity of reading the configuration of a progr…

Yabai ( https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai ) and skhd ( https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd ) together makes a very powerful combination that works extremely well. It's as close …

In my experience, I have seen much less of the OOP-only group, especially in recent years. The general feel I have seen when communicating with other developers about this is that …

I have to say I really appreciate this! I was going down very similar lines just last week (I had installed Hammerspoon and was experimenting with some applescript hacks, but to no…

I have been looking for a solution to this problem for a very long time and my reasoning is that on a trackpad, natural makes a lot of sense intuitively, since you are "pushing" th…

I think that is a very optimistic view of how things are currently - I think 80-90% of all business still operates in a similar organizational fashion as it did 20 years ago, and i…

TBF with a completely greenfield project and managed K8s (GKE or EKS) you can absolutely get a pretty well set up infra very quickly if you are willing to learn how to do so. I oft…

Since everyone else is throwing out recommendations I personally think https://github.com/spf13/cobra is the best CLI templating system, especially because of how well it pairs wit…

As a counterpoint, buses/railways are imo 100% an essential service for cities and yet they were running empty during the COVID-19 lockdown where I live. I would hate to see them r…

First off, thank you for looking at the project and giving feedback - I really appreciate it! - Do all the consumers of gila config use the singleton class instance and just call g…

Yeah I had used django in the past and had run-ins with `django-configurations` and while it is an extremely powerful configuration library, I set out to make Gila a much more port…

I recently ran into a few roadblocks as well when trying to get my python applications set up in a true 12factor way, and I was surprised by how much I had begun to take for grante…

MIPS still has a very large presence in the education sector as well - MIPS asm is very easy to learn because of how consistent it's syntax is and the plethora of open source debug…

Thank you for this - my team and I have been looking for a replacement to PgAdmin for quite some time now and this fits the bill exactly. Two features I thought we were going to ha…

https://devops.stackexchange.com/questions/653/what-is-the-d... This is a pretty good in depth explanation, but at a high level if a your server dies and you are extremely upset ab…

You're right - depriving people of choice can cause bad doctors to stick around longer because patients are forced to go to them. This is why we need something like single-payer - …

> It was never Nikolay's job to vet actix-web for you, nor did it become his job when the library became popular, nor does invoking "security" change anything in the slightest. I d…

That's entirely fair - and I wasn't saying that choosing actix was a bad choice at the time for the users - but I also think that the people who were willing to contribute to Actix…
