    But does this not make the assumption that the Identity being provisioned is exactly you and only you? I've always seen these identities as my pseudonym on some identity provider a…

    Interesting. I didn't notice any reference to Idris [1] but that was the first place I saw this style of development. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOtKD7ml0NU

    That's odd. I have been following along here [1] and it seems just as interactive as Svelte, Angular or any of the others I've tried. There might be a few more tools that have to b…

    The founder of Leptos makes a pretty good argument [1] that the bottleneck for WASM isn't really the DOM and that they are already faster than some popular JS frameworks even with …

    That's what I was thinking. Or any application at all. If MS word started doing this, how long would it take to recognise? Especially if it's only periodic and only some small perc…

    I used to get a lot of tickets until I cruise control got reliable traffic detection. Now I have it on almost exclusively. The only places I get tickets now are usually places that…

    >Great! (Imagine having wallgardened Windows computer where you could not install whatever you want). Again, you are presenting this as if it has only one side to it. I need a comp…

    Why are you presenting something that happened as entirely one sided? This move means the end of an enforced, curated walled garden for iOS. This will mean a race to the bottom for…

    I think the GP meant polymorphism. Rust traits being static ad hoc polymorphism. I thought it was possible, though, to achieve the same thing with Functors. Just the standard libra…

    The only one who can have responsibility for anything is the one who has the authority. So long as developers are in a position of "just get it done or you're fired" as well as bei…

    It's not automatically generated though, it's just specified somewhere else. This is what makes OO projects so hard to read from the outside: you first need to figure out what thin…

    Why would Rust need a Dependency Injection framework? It's functional, no? I really hope drifting OO practitioners don't wreck the language putting a bunch of OO stuff that is bett…

    When I read these kinds of comments, I can't help but wonder: did you attend a US public school? I went to probably an above average number of public schools growing up since my pa…

    I thought the point was that society was completely wrong and was basically overhyping the thing they'd all bought into. They had decided their method was so superior that naturall…

    Yes, I agree, tech innovation always brings more total jobs. But that doesn't mean everyone working now continues working and more are added. Many people will be left behind. It's …

    Interestingly, at least British and Australian people tend to make the 'R' sound when the word ends in a vowel sound (e.g. "dater" instead of "data").

    This is my impression as well. As far as I've understood, terragrunt was made back when terraform was missing a lot of key features (I think it maybe didn't even have modules yet) …

    Couldn't disagree more. Comments should only ever be present to explain why a choice was made. Never what code is doing. If it needs to explain what the code does, the code needs t…

    Well, I think a bigger issue is so many of the options not really mattering at all.

    I don't think Bitcoin is a scam. It attracts lots of criminals of various forms due to the lack of regulation. I don't get the part about funding terrorism and illegal activities. …
