For what it's worth, I love the semantics of many indentation based languages (F# for example) but really dislike editing them. Visually scanning is much easier with braces (imo) a…

The article addresses both of these pretty clearly. Semantic versioning gets borked with reverts and the automatic changelog is targeting the wrong audience

Thank goodness. It's been impossible to talk about Coq to people who don't already know what it is.

This was my first thought. I'd like to see it running at like 10x or more to better grasp the change over time

I think you're missing the part where interacting with strangers is also working the general socialization muscle. If you find yourself being more social in general, and give yours…

That's exactly the sorts of issues I was having. That and it somehow kept losing my encryption information so I'd lose access to all of my messages or something similarly ridiculou…

Very cool article. To really drill it home, I would have loved to see how the query plan changes. It _looks_ like it should Just Work(tm) but my brain refuses to believe that it's …

I've tried off and on to actually use Matrix. I was a bit of a loud supporter in the early days. Unfortunately, it looks like it still hasn't grown past the fundamental issues I wa…

This is exactly the kind of negativity that only appears on the internet and that this study sort of shined a light on. Would you really tell this person to their face that their a…

Part of the goals of making it so tiny, as far as I understand it, is that a normal person could reasonably implement the entire thing from server to client. Going full HTTPS and H…

False. Let the web be fun again

At least in the US, you just bite down. At best they can apply some over-the-counter lidocaine Source: I got an NFC tag in my hand

While it's true that they must comply with the STOP message, I'm not finding any proof that it must be intercepted before reaching the business. https://www.cullenllp.com/blog/fcc-…

I actually kind of like the subset of Jira that I use. Put tickets in a project, create related tickets when I'm breaking down larger projects, expose the project as a Kanban board…

I would say an actively harmful TypeScript. Just a couple of days ago, I had bug in production because apparently the union of two types is not the intersection but the sum. It exp…

Do you have any plans for releasing an SDK or something similar? I would love to use this as the base for something else I'm building

I'm actually in this exact position right now. The vast majority of the time I write in TS but I have a need to process a whole lot of data so I went for Rust instead. Java is too …

I frequently hear about this abuse of estimates and even ran in to it myself when I was a more junior engineer. In my opinion, part of maturing as an engineer is learning to call y…

I'll go so far as to say that the original camera is pretty terrible. This looks like an excellent upgrade

> To authenticate is to prove who you are. To authorize is to grant access. We should be screaming this type of thing from the rooftops. I struggled so much with the difference unt…

Suicidal humor is very much a Millennial trait. They weren't the first to make those jokes but they definitely made it bigger, more common, and went beyond the standard "ugh, just …

I wouldn't call out the depression bit as a Gen Z exclusive. Millennials basically invented modern, every day, gallows humor. Arguably, they're also the ones to normalize going to …

It's a tricky thing: my experience does mirror some of the "propaganda" despite coming to Europe with heavily rose-tinted glasses. I'm not going to pretend that my limited data is …

I completely agree but have we gone full meta? Being negative about the negativity? ;)
