There are a few of us still at it :) Though with the advent of LLMs it became very easy to spin up alternate backends for it, so it's very much alive outside of JS as well.

second paragraph of the article starts with: > The sector contributed 0.25% to GDP and enabled savings on consumers' electricity bills of more than 4.6 billion euros in 2024, with …

To yourself - the code you just merged is now yours to maintain

Fresh pasta is an entirely different beast from dried pasta, so the two are hard to compare. I never made dried pasta at home, but I find it impossible (even in Italy) to buy fresh…

I am all for improving the conditions so that signs can be removed (and this is valid with code too, e.g. a strong type system removes the need for a lot of documentation), but aga…

Sure, but then the advice we should give is "please please document the WHY", rather than "stop commenting" In any case, I personally find it very useful when I come to a new piece…

"Remove half of the signs, they become outdated whenever we change the roads" Software is written by humans for humans, and documentation is a fundamental part of it, and needs mai…

In all the Haskell teams I worked in, the candidate knowing Haskell was rarely a significant advantage (except for cases where the most experienced Haskeller leaves, and then you n…

> As for myself, I think what foods I choose to consume are none of the government's business There is a difference though: it's not about choice as much as it is about "good defau…

I've been looking into this (thanks for the pointer to Sensitronics!), do you have any pointers to a manufacturer of squishy material pads? (silicone I guess)

There's also the thing that while modern keeled sailboats are able to sail well upwind, that is not the case for these classic vessels which have a much smaller/shallower keel, and…

Sailor here - an 8 meters boat is in that awkward spot where it's big/heavy enough that it can do damage if incontrollably drifting against something (e.g. the wooden vessel itself…

Be very careful, it's surprisingly hard to eventually get out of it

The most impressive thing about this is not the overtone singing - one can learn that given some practice time - but to me it's how LOUD the quartet sounds. I'd recommend being in …

How is the working environment in PA tech? Would you recommend working there?

Sorry, I meant Duna Jam.

Do you know anything about what happened to Duna Rock?

Companies don't do this because they can get away with it. Unions are usually the most effective countermeasure to these kind of things. Here in Finland the tech-sector union just …
