This is exactly what I disagree with. It forces you to consider git your package boundary. You're now organising your source as if it was a package registry, when git can (and should) be orthogonal to that. Your problem with cross modu

by dissent 12d ago
Exactly my point. You assume the source is the thing you want to consume, but it isn't. Package registries are much more than a convenience and packages don't necessarily map 1:1 with source code repositories. Nor should they ne

Not at all. What I mean is each sex has a vested interest in the well being of the other, since both of them have a vested interest in the well being in their children of either sex. If my wife gains from affirmative action while her 5 sons

You're right that it's always been there, but wrong that you think it can be won. Every woman's gain is her son's loss, and every father's gain is his daughter's loss. It's an iterative game with a long te

If you can point a package manager at a git repo and use it like package, this is accidental convenience. Source code repositories should be factored as source code, with a build step to transform them into packages. For some languages that

Come on, it was the 1930s, in Germany and Hitler and the Nazis (the real ones we got the name from) were actually in power. You're comparing apples to potatoes.

If I said I wasn't a Musk or Tesla fanboy, I would expect you to take me at my word. I gave a two sided account of my Tesla experience. I do like this car, and I bought it because I liked it. Maybe it gets flagged because there's

Thanks for the thoughtful response. You know what, I do feel a bit conned by this vision only implementation. It wasn't obvious when we test drove it, and they didn't mention it. When we picked the car up, on the shop floor, befor

I saw more of an awkward guy doing a weird gesture, either because he was trying to be edgy, or he meant it as something else. He might even have done it as an ill advised joke because people were already calling him one. It's silly to

I actually don't really care if he's a nice person or not, just like I don't care who the CEO of other car makers are. But for the record I think it's pretty silly to call him a Nazi.

I kind of don't really care, as long as I get good service if my car is affected. I'm not defending them here. The next few years will tell if it was a bad buy or not. So far I'm really happy with it. My point was there'

I was in the market for an EV due to great tax advantages. I assumed BYD would be the sweet spot, but test drove a Tesla for comparison. I ended up with the Tesla. It is hands down the better vehicle and I'd be very surprised if anybod

I bought a new Model Y a few months ago. On the whole, it's a great car, it really is. They've pretty much nailed the fundamentals. It's opinionated, not unlike Apple, but if the opinions work for you you'll enjoy the ca

The conclusion of the article is "yes", because you usually end up saving more time in the long run than you think. But there's an even better reason. Consistency, encapsulation of process, and a form of self documentation. T

Homebrew's built a package manager on top of git. I'm talking about platforms that generate built artifacts and have package managers with dependency resolution to fetch them.

That may be true, but if you think your definition of morality is correct and anybody who thinks otherwise needs to be punished, then no wonder you've ended up with an authoritarian who's beaten you at your own game. It's als

There's a big difference between being a party member actually in a government position (war related, no less), and being a businessman surviving under that regime. You're not only making an absurd comparison, you're calling

Does anybody actually find Autopilot to be more than a novelty? Having to look ahead like a robot and keep your hands on the wheel is exactly how you drive without it. It feels like placing trust in the system and accepting risk without any

This implies there's some kind of shared resource out there on the network that your devs are developing on. Why not make all these resources part of your local dev stack, served on localhost, and use dummy credentials? You can even co

NAT isn't protecting them. Not being on the public internet at all is protecting them. NAT is then unprotecting them a little by letting them punch out again. It's super easy for routers to implement this behaviour by default if y

Couple of problems with git. In the enterprise, RBAC is a royal pain. You give out a URL and it's hard to know if the consumer can fetch it. URLs are absolute, there is no resolution by name. Compounded further if you want transient de

It's a well understood principle and an abstract value. It's got nothing to do with the US per-se, except it found it's way into your constitution and is protected. The conservative right were never for free speech, that was

I know what you mean, but there seems to be some kind of misplaced fear about this which has led us down the garden path of unmaintainable config (or even trying to jinja template it!) If your config is turing complete and consumed as-is, t

I happen to agree in this principle, but for most of human history it would have been considered a radical idea. Much of the world still doesn't fully buy into it. It's a philosophical position, not a universal truth. You need to

Write it in a higher level language and generate the YAML from that. See the YAML as a wire protocol, not something you author things in.

STRIPE_KEY I understand because it's an external service that you can't really simulate locally. But DATABASE_URL - why not just default this to localhost, and default the secret to a dummy string? If your workflow doesn't ev
