How do you think right-to-repair intersects with cars? An obvious thing may be to say the software must be published or the spec released, but we've had computers in cars since the 80s. It seems like a tall task but people can and do r

what craft though? That is to say - I don't really love programming. I do it out of necessity. Before product managers got looked at as 'too much headcount in an org', I kind of think I would have liked that. I like the outc

nobody is (well i guess some people are) clamoring for alternative virtual machines for Perl. I guess there are some different implementations of Java. The web browsers today are virtual machines + operating systems. I don't particular

cache all of them? no... but you could cache some of them, likely the newer are accessed more frequently.

it's not an insult. yes. cache heavily. shitty php stacks serving trillions of dollars of ecommerce sales have managed to do it for a long time.

I love to see the 'leet kernel hackers and maintainers' struggling with basic volume. Each page load should cost you near nil. Us lowly PHP developers have been caching shit for close to twenty years. Learn how to cache your appli

I cannot imagine how nitpicky people are. AI went from 'good autocomplete' to 'I just tell it to do an entire thing and it does it and it works the first try'. Maybe pick languages that are more boring. That's what
