I've seen work environments that are chaotic, and people are expected to deliver things that they can't deliver without navigating and taming the chaos to do their bidding. If cour…

That's true. But that's only really a concert if you're building an SPA. If you're not, having multiple pages is generally faster than running some js framework to reload parts of …

Node is essentially a single-threaded API to a very capable multithreaded engine. https://youtu.be/ztspvPYybIY

My tip for this is Node.js and some stream processing lib like Highland. You can get ridiculous IO parallelism with a very little code and a nice API. Python just scales terribly, …

Reminds me of the 90s EDM band Antiloop.

Maybe. But that specific overabstraction is in the implementation of the framework. It's trying to proxy all the method calls to objects to perform logic around them. It is true th…

I disagree with the problem statement; that the framework is trying to solve a meta-problem. The problem with frameworks is instead that they assume that they're in control. They'r…

Class diagrams and object diagrams are also really useful, for instance when making presentations. The problem with UML is that the industry went overboard with it's usage, like it…

I'm interested to hear their business plan, given that there's already established ones like https://elastx.se/en/ , and they're not running terribly well, although they have quite…

Hot take: the mobile site also isn't good for cellphones

They've been pulling shady stuff for ages. Ever heard of the false flag attacks in relation to Cuba? The bay of pigs false flag bombings, and the proposed https://en.m.wikipedia.or…

They could solve that by keeping track of references and asking you though.

I'm working with an ECS at $dayjob. But I'm starting to question one aspect of them. Composition of functionality makes sense. And systems acting independently and only on objects …

Yes. If you design a distributed system you need to consider the network traffic very carefully, and choose your segmentation in such a way that you minimize traffic and still achi…

This has been my major criticism of them; you cement the design of the app by creating an organizational structure around your software components. What happens if you need to rede…

Yup. If you consider that a simple int can have billions of states, and that you can have 100% test coverage while testing just one of those, 100% really doesn't mean much. And wit…

I'm saying that references between heaps should be disallowed altogether.

Ooooh, thanks for mentioning that!

I've been following your school of thought as well as the one proposed by the author. I would argue that your model is a lot freer and will lead to better code quality in the long …

I would love it if some language would implement a segmented heap, where each part could be GCed separately. Erlang has this model with it's lightweight processes. And it's a great…

Bugzilla is still one of the best, change my mind :D A simple list is a pretty good solution IMO.

Aside from Trello and friends, Azure boards is actually also pretty OK, if you disregard their very confusing naming and weird menus. It's fast and easy to use in the board view.

The harsh truth is that you need to think about every single case of failure, and decide what to do when things go south. If you look at how POSIX does it, pretty much every single…

Cue VPNs being banned

Generally I would say yes. POSIX dictates that a line must end in newline, and some tools rely on it. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/729795
