I needed to learn Lisp in college. I hate Lisp. 'nough said.

zsh is much better. And it's not installed by default on all systems. It's especially not installed on systems like Alpine. The point was never to "find a better shell." It was to run install (or other) scripts with some

I don't choose bash because I am unaware of other languages. I choose it because it's already installed everywhere. If I'm going to install a language/shell, I'll likely choose Node, Bun, or Go, depending. Python is

"Install something else" is ... a nice idea? But it's simply not realistic. Examples: - Embedded devices that may or may not have an internet connection - Government classified networks that aren't allowed to grab ANY ra

Bash/Sh is an objectively awful programming language. You could likely fill an entire book with all of the design fails that is Bash script syntax. Only in a shell script would you ever need eight backslash characters in a row in order

Democracy is about the people being able to participate in government. That's it. In order for that to be a good thing, the people need to be informed about the decisions they're making. If the people are completely brainwashed

Ten years ago I would have agreed. Today? I'm not sure you're right about which is the greater threat. Yes, state censorship can be abused. But promoting misinformation is a known threat to Democracy today . Right now. I'm

But...the implementation is such that you can't take into account the number of ticks. Every time you call it, it moves by the same amount. This is how people did animations back when PCs were always the same speed, so you didn'

That is lerp. Yes yes yes. Ugh. I've written that exact function in multiple languages for probably a dozen projects or more.

Hmm. I've driven on snowy roads and found it to be better at handling than any other car I've driven, even counting cars that had dedicated snow tires (whereas the Ioniq only had all-season tires). It also has a "snow mode&qu

I just bought an Ioniq 5 a couple of months ago. The buttons are legit great, and the EV drive train is top notch. Loving it so far.

Ummm... Quick back of the envelope [1] shows that the EC2 pricing is still only about 60% of the Aurora price, and something less than half of the RDS/PostgreSQL price, even counting the intra-region transfer. There may be some transfe

For TEAM accounts that aren't "Docker sponsored open source" teams. They should allow a TEAM->PERSONAL conversion for any open source account that doesn't qualify to be "Docker sponsored." But really this is

No. This was NEVER implied at all. This only ever applied to the *Team* accounts. I have a paid non-team/personal account, but I am also aware that I could have a free personal account if I didn't need private repositories. In ot

By the time the semantic description is sufficiently exact, you may as well have written the code, though. [1] [1] https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e3/2f/22/e32f2209b4c3d6b32bbc...

I've bought items that weren't defective, but that turned out to not work as well as was advertised, and that's also free. I don't know the full policy, but it makes sense they would cover the returns of an item that i

Prime is free shipping _both ways._ Non-prime returns cost money. [1] That makes buying much more risk-free. I haven't paid for return shipping on an Amazon purchase for years. I don't know that I return enough to compensate for t

Not the OP, but: Protobufs are much more complicated on the implementation side than JSON. You at minimum need a protobuf library and a spec for your data that's shared on client and server. Migrations are also a lot more work because

Well, starting with a service that has already pivoted to a better service isn't a great strategy, IMO.

Yeah, this is the first Apple feature announcement for a long time that I'm actually impressed by. Not the biggest Apple fan, but I have to let them have this one. If I weren't so invested in the not-Apple ecosystem, I'd cons

The original comment says "a 12 month delay isn't a solution, it's a problem." But sometimes there is no solution other than recognizing that it will take longer. Or at least not with the current team. And yes, that me

Callers with blocked caller ID get screened by Google for me, and I rarely ever hear from them -- but I get a ton of calls from people who either have spoofed numbers or who have temporarily picked up a "source" number based in

Given the number of times I've seen a reported, verified bug in OS X be "fixed" by hiding the bug from the public tracker and marking it "will not fix," I would have a hard time ever trusting a car made by Apple. Ap

I made my early career on doing things that other developers claimed were impossible. But we don't have another term that both has traction and isn't ridiculed. "Rock star" and "ninja" are in the latter camp; b

Good article, though I can't agree with the conclusion. "Expert" doesn't really communicate much. There's a meme that's probably older than I am that goes something like: "An expert is no different from th

When I looked at Heroku pricing way back when, I immediately had a "WOW that's expensive" reaction. I look at it now, and...well, I'm all-in on k8s for most things, and cloud functions for most everything else, so I&#x27
