I don't see how this is any different to mutually assured destruction via nuclear weapons.

I agree with you about CAs but maybe "better" wasn't the right word and what I meant is, what are the current alternatives? The only ones I know about are DoT and DoH which are mostly interchangeable.

What's better?

> we should instead grow the developers to understand these different approaches as opposed to labeling half of the language "bad practice".

> As I said in another comment. Ruby was built to have multiple ways of doing the same tasks and criticizing it for this is... pointless.

Agreed 100% with this take. If I only wanted 1 way to accomplish something no matter how inelegant it might be in that context, I would use Python. I choose Ruby specifically because of how expressive it is. It makes it a bit tougher when working in a team with 2 or more opinionated devs, ie. "should we use more functional or more OO approaches to solve a problem" but this is a culture and communication issue, not a language problem. Having a good rubocop setup and staying within the confines of your agreed upon ruleset is a good start.

For example you can use rubocop to enforce dissallowing `unless !condition`, then it's just not an issue anymore - these kinds of issues dissapear before code even makes it to review.

Yeah I'm definitely eating crow. Can't say I'm unhappy about it though.

welp - that was fast, they just arrested him lol

That seems optimistic but I hope so.

The fact that this guy has not been arrested just goes to show how completely f*cked America is.

Another trap people fall into is doing joins in their application instead of in the database. I see this all the time where people will query some table with a condition, map the ids from the result and then query another table (which also joins the first table) and then filters by the id of the first query. Or just doing massive aggregates in ruby instead of having the database do it and just spitting out the result.

A little bit of knowledge about SQL and how a relational database works goes a long way.

Nothing monopolistic about this acquisition. Microsoft is a small player in a huge market right now.

Vivaldi also has an RSS client. So does Opera.

My iPhone has this “product red” branding on it and it kind of annoys me. Im always skeptical of these kinds of branding/marketing for a cause type things but I just wanted a red iPhone…

Is pocket actually profitable I don’t even know a single user of it, let alone a Firefox user

Can Mozilla use machine learning to make a competitive browser? Can they use machine learning to figure out why kids love Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Why did they not just start paying for Heroku?

Less than 1%.

Because people don't actually care about the environment, the vast majority just say they do - until it's inconvenient to them.

Just when I though NFTs couldn’t get any dumber. The package manager itself seems interesting but I’m not touching it if it has crypto nonsense in it.

I worked at Ashley Madison, enough said.

This is terrible for innovation. Good lord I despise when governments meddle in things they clearly know nothing about.

I remember when Trump was racist for saying this.

Just installed the trial of Fusion Pro 13 and ran it through the paces of our application test suite and benchmarks, performance is...rough, compared to Parallels.

It's nice to have a personal use option, but I'll be sticking with Parallels for pro use since our company doesn't have a big investment in vmware based infrastucture, where I see using Fusion would be a boon but not for my particular case.

Any advantages to this over Parallels?

Mac: What implication?

Dennis: The implication that things might go wrong for her if she doesn't review my code in a timely manner. Now, not that things are gonna go wrong for her, but she’s thinking that they will.

I'm in Canada so I can't use this yet - I'm a very no-nonsense clothing, run of the mill-type man so being able to get things like plain t-shirts, sweaters, blue jeans, socks...etc is very appealing to me.

Joseph Mimran made his mark by selling plain, white t-shirts.

I'll be keepign my eyes out, good luck with your business!

And assembly language is all you need to make computer software, but that's also so reductive that it's basically a useless statement.

Sorry Bethesda, Mick had the receipts.

Alma Linux 9.0 for development, Ubuntu for day to day stuff. I have 2 different workstations with dedicated purpose.
