This is kind of what Django does instead and I much prefer the Rails way. Though it might just be because I started MVC-dev with Rails. I think I find it easier to find common abstractions on the {models/views/controllers} level t

We keep finding new ways to make fission safer and reducing risk of runaway scenario but I'm pretty sure we'll never reach zero risk. Sure we might reach it on paper but human error can always happen. Chernobyl operators thought t

I'm of the mind that randomness is only an approximation of complexity, if you're omniscient then randomness doesn't exist and everything is deterministic. However it seems to me the deterministic vs randomness debate is of t

Looks like the first tidal power plant was built in 1966 in Brittany: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rance_Tidal_Power_Station . It was also the largest for 45 years until a bigger one opened in South Korea: https:&#x2F

Thanks for the link, at the very least Jeff Kreeftmeijer in 2010 already used the name git-flow for that specific model. I somehow missed all of that. Plus nvie.com updated its 10-year old post with a notice yesterday and also uses the name

Are people really calling this specific model of git branching THE Gitflow model ? For me this was a gitflow amongst others, a gitflow being a git workflow. In the original article "A successful Git branching model" I don't s

I see firing in such a case as a cop-out, a cowardly way to appease mob-mentality. In this case if the employee responsible for firing the moderator did such acts repeatedly despite management warnings than perhaps it's a good idea to

The way I see it everyone should have some sort of personal data broker (maybe as a browser extension ?). Your data broker has all of your personal information and keeps it safe for you. If you make a query on a search engine I'm sure
