What's the effect of this? I don't really understand why they have a "recognised" list at all or what the implications are.

non major updates in the npm ecosystem are pretty reliable in my experience; my much more limited python experience suggests that semver is much less respected on that side of the …

I tried it on Tuesday and, having used CC a lot lately, was shocked at how bad it was - I'd forgotten.

postgres with rls to hide soft deleted records means that most of the app code doesn't need to know or care about them, still issues reads, writes, deletes to the same source table…

Only if I was confident there were only two other ways, I'd say a few (or, bearing the weirdness of English in mind, probably "many").

Why does English ever have synonyms? I'm not saying you're wrong, clearly (as a a Kiwi) I've been misinterpreting Aussie usage, but "there's already another way to say that" is pre…

I'm a Kiwi living in AU; perhaps I've been misunderstanding Aussies all this time! I've never been aware that anyone would interpret it as anything other than exactly two, I'll hav…
