How much overlap do you feel like dynamic workflows have with RLMs?

I love the modern game. I just think the pendulum has swung a tiny bit too far toward 3s in the past 3-4 years, that's all. Just a nudge in the other direction. My ideal would be t…

The comparison IMO is that how baseball is played changed over time as teams optimized, and some of those changes are undesirable from the perspective of an entertainment product. …

One of my favorite ridiculous stats. Bruce Bowen had one year where he shot better from 3 than he did on free throws. He was a dreadful shooter, but somehow he taught himself to be…

Collaborative coding is powerful. But to be at your team’s most optimized state, you need automated branch management that enables multiple developers to commit code on a daily bas…

In the NHL, you get 2 points for winning, 0 points for losing in regulation, and 1 point for losing in overtime. The obvious result (to everyone but the creators of the rule I gues…

Do we know for a fact the breakdown of 2nd choices on ballots where Palin was the first choice? If not, you are only speculating. It seems possible that Palin lost due to voters in…

I don't know whether this was true in the 1940s, but today, sliced bread is extremely different from other bread. Not because of the slicing, but because it's a very different, lon…

This seems no different than Intel manufacturing fewer distinct things and using CPU locking to sell at more price points. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/2239/cpu-lock It’s …

This is a good point, but there's also a key difference. There's a big difference between "code being in one file" and "code being in one function." It sounds like the OP had somet…

You brilliant lunatic

I might love this. Last time I checked on the Actions docs, they seemed to say a lot, while still leaving me confused somehow.

Exactly. I find it helps to also state that it doesn't mean "Don't Repeat Characters"

Ruby already has group_by, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying

Exactly. It is an interesting idea, but it makes me question the examples when `Enumerable` does not appear in the post.

Is the name Coconut an intentional homage to CoffeeScript?

Yes! As a kid, I specifically remember thinking that even the installer was cool.

Yes, obviously this. People who don't understand this either just want to argue, or haven't thought about this at all.

Because in America, public sector unions are the dominant unions, or at least the most visible, and those are very different. Agree strongly for private sector unions.

I do the exact same thing with Prettier. I get a little spark of joy every time my code snaps back into place :)

Thanks for the reply. A bunch of the problems I had might be due to out of date js tools, since apparently Bazel has been breaking compatibility a lot pre 1.0. Things I pull from t…

What helped you push through the steep learning curve when you started? Asking cause I was excited recently to try Bazel specifically for a Typescript monorepo, and the learning cu…

Toptal is a great place to start. I used them for a while after I quit a previous job. It won't teach you how to find your own clients, but it will help ease you in.

Yes yes yes. People are trying to be polite by not starting a conversation with a demand, but it has the opposite effect.
