It can help abstract the differences you may have across projects. If you're on a team with many projects/repositories, having conventions across them all helps improve onboarding, cross-teamwork and promotes better dev ux. A real

Isn't this an implicit risk anyone who purchases a 'smart' device takes? Every company will eventually discontinue their cloud service for a product line when it suits their needs. We have seen this countless times in technol

That's fair, not having a cookie could work for session, how would you handle CSRF protection on a login form without cookies?

I believe that knowing whether or not you are logged would be part of the strictly necessary.

The sentrysid, sc, and sudo cookies are all login state cookies btw.

But you're thinking of it as an end customer. What if instead of a 'charging' station getting all the transaction fees the car manufacturers could haggle for some bps and work their way towards a controlling interest in this

Why? We all have to pay for shelter and food. This looks like what could become a fantastic business and product. I applaud their commitments to privacy and open-source at such an early stage. I am looking forward to hearing about Notesnook

Interesting, I've never seen this mode of firefox before. I checked a few other sites and they also had a 'Failed to load article from page' error. Do you have a link for a site that does work?

Yes, CakePHP is still maintained. The API docs are something that is being worked on and, we'll get the 404s fixed soon. What browser are you having problems with in reader mode?

100% agree. The butterfly switch MBP I have is by far the worst keyboard I have ever used. After a few hours of typing on that keyboard my fingers are sore from instant bottom out into what feels like a sheet of metal.

Just to clarify, I was never a developer of Passbolt. I think they based their repository off of CakePHP (which I do maintain) and inherited all the commit history that way.

Nope. The parent commenter came to some interesting conclusions, but I've never worked on passbolt. From what I remember passbolt based their repository on CakePHP (of which I'm a maintainer) and inherited all the git history from

That sounds crazy to me, but I have very little experience with ruby. In PHP/python doing that can be unpleasant.

If a team is using different versions/runtimes of ruby I would have to agree this is an organizational feature in some cases. If you're working on a webapp you should be aiming to make as few differences between a development box & pro

I find the lack of ticket features in github has been the biggest blocker. Doing any reporting, or saved searches on github issues requires custom tooling.

As a source repository its more than useful for non-toy projects from my experience. While the issue features a bit lacking when compared to full blown ticket trackers, the pull request feature is brilliant. I've yet to see another tool tha

One of the dangers of A/B testing that the author didn't discuss is actually measuring statistical validity. Simply split testing with a low sample size or low level of difference between versions could just be random chance. I find it is

Fair enough, I always considered looking into production and customer issues, digging through log files, and doing code review as part of 'coding', even though that's not the literal meaning. Perhaps I'm using that term a bit too loosely th

I think you have to be able to demonstrate that you can write good code as well. I think the only way I've been able to get the jobs I have has been because of open source work. Without that I'd have a much harder time finding work, as dem

Do you find that frustrating? For me, days with less than 30% time spent doing coding feel like a waste. I think I value coding and the surrounding activities far more than any other type of work activity. For me that other 75% (I'm guess
