Oh I see, Pinboard is so innocent, so pure, that a honest tip about how to reach more people who can find their service useful should be modded into the ground. I've tainted the Jesus of bookmarks by even implicitly suggesting in my po

You have totally missed the point of my post, and I guess most of those that modded it. EDIT: Ok this is starting to get a little weird. What's with the comical negative overreaction to my posts. What exactly did I say to warrant tha

by PeterGriffin 12y ago
A bit of a lost opportunity, because I've barely heard about Pinboard, and the fact of them celebrating the passage of time since they were found, is extremely trivial. BTW, MySpace recently turned eleven. When writing posts and news,

When it comes to basic formatting, symbol naming and high-level code organization, sure. But computer languages, unlike human languages, are precise. Their intent is clear. And you'll never encounter a case where the Python 3 interpret

I don't believe it, because I use SQL every day, and I need to tell it which rows to lock when reading, whether to read them in share mode or fully, sometimes I need to help it figure out which indexes to use (of course I also have to

So, we're all very very angry and we'll... do what about it? Nothing. This is hardly the first time this happens. There are about half a dozen cases of this kind in mainstream media every year. Plenty more go unreported. Nothing c

You seem so passionate about this, it hurts to break your heart. When you set your text to be bold, that's a separate font , made by a human hand. Browsers have a fake bold look when the font is missing, but it's not a look you w

It's not "the future of color fonts", it's just the present of emoji in Windows. And I really don't like the way they did this. The technical approach is smart, but lazy, and the resulting emoji look bland and lack

If you think about it, this falls firmly into the "symbolic gestures" category. They had nothing to gain or lose from making this into a political statement, so they invited them. You learn about responsibility and authority when

Thank you for showing us. I have two pieces of feedback. 1) The score isn't most important. The headline is. This is why the headline is in black, and the score is in gray. We don't come here to compare news importance, the site a

I'm an idiot, but I'm willing to believe there are still people out there who love what they do, and would stand by it, even if Corporation X comes knocking on the door with a pot of gold. I'd rather cheer for them and be dis

Neither. I'm not sure how I can help you, maybe try reading it slower.

No, why would this be something to try to avoid? Sexism and racism is a kind of cultural trait, I hope you realize that. A culture may be selective on very different criteria. It can easily be blind to gender, race, age, religion, natio

I'm sorry, but I'm starting to get a bit sick of Hacker Schools constant whining about rules. If you want to encourage a specific culture you do this by starting with a small set of people who have this culture in their bones, the

Well, as usual most arguments revolve around misunderstanding terms, and not substance, heh. I was too harsh in few places, as well. Sorry. I really don't feel there's a need for us to separate "native" database transact

The reasons the graph is centered around 30s with a halo in 20s, 40s and 50s is the same reason the graph lacks "under 10" and "over 80". It's just how humans work. We get born, have a period of growing up, gaining

It's an option, and it sure is neater to those creating the library , but it's much less neater to those using it . Not everyone compiles a PHPDoc for themselves when downloading a library, so then all classes form a nice big pi

At some point in life we become so busy with something else that we stop keeping up to date with the latest trends. Suddenly we realize everything has changed and has become foreign and complicated. We feel stupid; incapable of catching up.

Thanks. And yet, nothing you said really rejects my made up explanation, even more, it supports it (the visual center stops sending information as it lacks input, and synchronization attempts begin).

That's often not practical. Say you're a shop front. If you have a goods purchase service and a goods delivery service, you want to reserve the good (limited quantity) and reserve a time slot for transport (limited number of deliv

The post talks about synchronous communication increasing temporal coupling . There's nothing in sending a request and getting a response that's increasing coupling in a traditional sense, and often there's no much of an a

Well, it's a U shaped slope, because at some point you become less productive, not more productive as you add time. So it's about finding one's balance. If someone's balance is 16 hours a week, so be it. I just find it a

Oh I see. I wish PHP had visibility for classes, oh well. Do you know what I do, I put everything that's not meant to be used by "the public" in sub-namespace "Internal". So, say "Vendor\Project\..." for p

The point of a microservice is you can build it on anything, and change what you built it on over time, without changing its interface. As for your concerns... you know how every time some good idea pops up people have to ruin it by pushing

I didn't have time to review the project in detail, but one thing that made an impression on me is having a registry in there. Many projects make the same mistake. The registry/service locator/DI container or whatever flavor

I'm not sure it's bad to feel guilty about this. I'm more interested how people who don't feel guilty see life. I mean surely at some point having aimless fun starts looking a bit like wasted time in someone's life,

I'm very happy to see people working 16-25 hour work weeks, and it's probably very good for their personal life. Just one question, don't you feel guilty going like that? I'd feel guilty, as if life gave me this time to
