Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer. They don't grow completely out of making bugs (although they do tend to make fewer over time), they grow out of making solutions that loo…

Everybody produces bugs, but Claude is good a producing code that looks like it solves the problem but doesn't. Developers worth working with, grow out of this in a new project. Cl…

I've heard people say before that it is easier to reason about a linear history, but I can't a think of a situation where this would let me solve a problem easier. All I can think …

The major things from Scala that I find useful are: - higher kinded types - null in types - for comprehensions - macros - opaque types - implicits/type classes - persistent immutab…

This always seemed strange to me. If your team can't be trusted not to make spaghetti in a monolith, what stops them from making distributed spaghetti in microservices? In theory t…

It doesn't have to be. If your devices support HDMI-CEC[0], then you can turn on 1 device and everything sets itself up. For example, I can turn on my PS4 and it automatically turn…

Couldn't a malfunctioning sync process undo a soft delete as well?

Why do you feel that Scala has just as much historical baggage? Isn't the whole point of the Scala 2/3 split to remove historical baggage.

Although beware, those pull through sharpeners are notorious for doing a terrible job sharpening knives. They take off far more material than needed and tend to produce an edge tha…

You could use a weight combined with pulleys or gears to get a faster acceleration.

Yes, a large part of Scala 3 was explicitly about improving ergonomics and making language features clearer to use. Some examples of this are: - Greatly improved error messages [1]…

Git will provide you with a default message for git merge without specifying any flags. This message includes the branch being merged. I don't think there is support in git to view…

What command is that flag intended for?

Taxes can work if they are also combined with a dividends [1]. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fee_and_dividend

You may want to read the article. This is different than carbon permits[1]. This is about carbon pricing[2], which appears to be much more effective. [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org…

If you use the default merge messages, can't you tell which was the branch that got merged? The second parent is the branch that got merged and its name will appear in the commit m…

Consumers can make a net profit if the tax revenue is paid as a dividend to citizens. There are number of papers about this if you are interested [1]. [1] - https://citizensclimate…

You don't have to chase your dependencies. You just need an adequate suite of tests and then run them with the Graal Tracing Agent enabled [1]. [1] - https://medium.com/graalvm/int…

I'm almost certain this occurs with Hibernate as the JPA provider. I haven't tried this with other JPA providers but as far as I can tell from tutorials[1], stack overflow posts[2]…

Have you verified that? I'm pretty sure that occurs using the JPA API and Hibernate. I'm not sure if other JPA providers do this as well.
