Women have been sold on the idea from a very young age that they need a fairy tale wedding to live happily ever after: from toys to tv, from books to movies: the kneeling groom to be with the shiny ring and the large, grand wedding with a dozen bridesmaids. There are multiple industries selling this vision.

Reducing that to "but many women will still want something expensive "just so that the man will prove that she matters to him by buying her something"" .... this is pure sexism.

>It's not a horrible abuse if you aren't trying to make the framework/library statically typed in the first place.

Of course it is, because even if there's no type system the people using the library still have to make sense of the complexity. A function with a dozen, context-sensitive overloads that accepts data without a clear pattern isn't just hard to type, it's also hard to understand for a user. Even with dynamic typing you should be able to clearly state what a function does.
I'm more familiar with the practice of verbing nouns and adjectives, which is very common (a famous Calvin&Hobbes strip ends with the punchline "verbing weirds language"). The opposite practice of nouning verbs has a very different feeling; I'd say it's almost pedantic, or very dry; not as lively as verbing, for sure.
Trouble is, that argument falls apart because != is only akin to ≠ if == is actually =. If you use a language with := for assignment and = for comparison (or something similar), sure, making != appear as ≠ might make sense. But if you’re using almost any C-family language, you’ve already broken the mathematical model of what the equals sign means. After that, I side with nicoburns and say that now you’re obscuring what it actually means (in favour of something that’s more or less incorrect in mathematical notation).

Set your OS to use your DOH server of choice.

Personally when my laptop is connected to a network on a high latency link to the internet, I'd rather it used the local caching server rather than one half a continent away. Clearly if I don't trust that network provided DNS server I'll tunnel everything out to a trusted network, or I could specify a DOH.

I have no practical issue with DOH if it were implemented at the OS level and had standards around how to distribute recommended settings (just like my dhcp server distributes a recommended gateway, recommended ntp server, recommended tftp boot server, etc).

Five of us were investigating starting a company together. After a few meetings, the issue of a name came up and we arranged for a face-to-face meeting to brainstorm.

I didn’t want a name like, System Administration Software Inc because what would we do if we ended up writing software for garage door openers.

I suggested picking a catchy name that wouldn’t identify what we made too narrowly.

Among the names I proposed that I still remember over 30 years later were Apache and Emerald City Software; someone else proposed Veritas. None of these were unanimously liked by the group. I then recalled a unique hostname used by a friend and suggested Tivoli, everyone liked it and the name is still used today.

There was one wrinkle, when I went to the state’s Attorney General’s office to register the name for incorporation, I discovered that there was already a Tivoli Inc in Texas. (I didn’t realize that there was a small town in Texas by the name Tivoli.) So I tacked on another word and the company’s new name became Tivoli Systems.

Out of the original group, only two of us actually started the company. We quit our jobs and went all in.

The assumption here is that there are unit tests that cover the areas containing these sorts of bugs.

It can prove to be false because many projects don't have sufficiently good code coverage.

Of course, it's also possible that there simply are no unit tests at all.

In those circumstances, TypeScript might just result in less bugs overall. While one could argue that unit testing should be commonplace, reality doesn't always live up to that standard.

I never once played a violent game and felt the need to have my own character included.
Hey Narann, I assume you are in your early 20s.

During the early part of my career, I used to love to design and develop with very tiny fonts. In-fact, there were a time when there was a craze for Bitmap pixel fonts which looks the best at 8px. I used to build apps for Physicians who uses a hand-held device called Pocket PC[1]. My weapon of choice when it comes to fonts were these 8px bitmap fonts for the interfaces.

They look super sleek and smooth but the physicians keep complaining about the font-size. The clinics/hospitals were replacing pen-paper with these Pocket PC Devices and the physicians depend on them for their earnings. I learned my lessons and made the fonts bigger. Designs do not look so nice (at-least to me and my team) but they loved my work. It paid for them, their families. The last time I heard, they were still using the 'programs' (not apps) for over a decade or so.

Of course, my IDE had tiny fonts too. Then I grew and aged. By the time I crossed 30, my IDE's fonts were big enough and I began liking it that way. Today, I occasionally write code with "Monaco" font at 16px on a 5K iMac. One day, I might scale it and even make the text/content bigger.

Enjoy your tiny fonts while it lasts, you will also appreciate BIG text and fonts as you progresses.

Agree: Against Method is a great work, and the argument for "anything goes" is compelling. IMHO the core argument can be used to dismiss software dev methodologies too. I recommend Feyerabend's Farewell to Reason as well.

That only works if you can control what others use (maybe not in the case of Slack, but that's the exception as messengers go).
For a bunch of stuff that's simply not true.

Over-testing leads to over-diagnosis which leads to over-treatment. People get treatment that causes them harm and which cannot benefit them because they don't have cancer.
I had quick look around and it doesn't seem to be an actuall scam.

They have them out in the field selling small batches and there is no telltale 1 million $ kickstarter promising rocket bike powered by solar and wind pressure.

This device seems to be capturing a kinetic energy and storing it in the springs that release it to assist/smooth-out peddling? In a test clip a guy pushes down on tire and the lifts the tire and it spins ligthly. Akin to a gently push you would give to spin a wheel when fixing it and checking if its aligned (actually its less force then that).

I wonder how much of assist energy it really generates and if it makes any difference.
The custom maps in CS:S / TF2 were my introduction to this.

So many weird and wacky maps. Maps built to look like spongebob's house, maps to look like mario, so many hours wasted on surf maps.

I'm sad newer games don't support custom maps or servers as much these days.

> But what exactly is the appeal of it anyway?

To answer this question you probably need to start broader with: why do ligatures exist in fonts at all? Then see if that applies to programming.

There's various accounts of the "reasons" ligatures came to be, but of the few I've seen all would (imo) apply equally to code as to language. The obvious one is pure aesthetic preference, but another is that ligatures came about as a way for business people of the time to differentiate letter/symbol-combinations for single repetitious use (as is done for operands: e.g. `===` has a single semantic meaning, it does not represent 3 programmatic operations in a row).

All in all though, I would guess this is about aesthetics mostly.

My own personal preference is to use ligatures in presenting code and avoid them in text editors/IDEs. I think this fits with traditional font use (writers would hand-write or typewrite manuscripts, ligatures would only be used by publishers/printers). It's possible presented code may "suffer" in readability for some unaccustomed to ligatures, so there's a trade-off to consider, but that's also true of books/articles using ligatures in natural language, and I think the problem is overstated in both cases. The nice thing is that copypasting the code doesn't force retention of the ligatures.
Spotify Only Works for the Stars
Since I got a bit engaged there, this has led to my lesson of rust today. Or, the first one: There is the "rust" extension for vscode. This extension can be configured to use rust-analyzer as it's backend and I figured that was what people meant with "use rust-analyzer".

However, there is an extension called "rust-analyzer" and from a few hours of writing rust, it's so much better. Inline type annotations, good type ahead and completion.

This looks really nice, too bad it doesn't (and never will) support ligatures. I understand the point the author is trying to make about ligatures in the separate blog post, but boy do I love my ligatures when programming.
Yeah this really resonated with me. I thought WSL1 was a great idea and they gave up on all the great integration aspects just to gain some minor things like docker compatibility :(

After all, people who wanted to do that could always run Linux in a VM.
The same article also says it is natural to read news to stay informed and gives the exact same advice as I do :

"“Try to be aware of how [the news] changes your mood or makes your thoughts more negative,” Davey advises.
Breuning agrees, and recommends limiting your news consumption to one block of time each day—say, at lunch or before dinner—if not less. At the very least, don’t watch or read the news before bed, she says."
So, they use self hosted version because they trust their own info sec practices more than that of Gitlab?
TypeScript is so powerful at this point I think the only really big thing they're missing is typed exceptions. After that they maybe should just close it for new language features and just optimize performance and add editor features (more automatic refactors) :D
I don't know why he is being downvoted but I agree here. Rust is a novel lang. Its a general purpose lang unlike swift which is made specifically for Apple ecosystem.

Just because apple made a swift doesn't mean its design is better.
The idea looks very good!
I have to say however that I am a bit wary of notebooks. I agree how great they are to visualize things, but they also tend to have a negative effect on the coding standards of a team. This is again probably a personal bias and they look to be suited for this use case.
Great launch anyway!
> I've discovered that I am nonplussed by patterns that leave other devs downright emotional and it's just not worth the effort to discuss

One thing that annoys me (and I'm not saying that you're doing it here) is that the people who say it's not worth arguing about are usually the ones doing the arguing. Like, if it makes no tangible difference either way, then just let people do whatever. It literally doesn't matter. But that's not acceptable to the "it's not worth discussing" people, and suddenly it becomes very important to discuss consistency. And not just any old consistency. We can't just flip a coin. No, it has to be consistent with their favourites, which are correct and therefore not worth discussing.

My personal standard is that if somebody suggests a rule and nobody really opposes it then great, enable it. If there is opposition, then it stays disabled until one side can persuade the other. If they truly care about consistency then they are welcome to change sides at any time. Attempts to browbeat the opposition should result in some private feedback from their line manager. There are exceptions for things that matter, but a lot of this stuff just doesn't.

The first thing I do when hitting a job board is to try to filter it to jobs which are Remote or in my location. Everything else is just noise. This would be a lot more useful if you added a location filter (city and country - I live in NL, which is small enough that the city doesn't always matter)

It's not as fashionable.

Companies mainly care for good PR, not consistency or the cause they supposedly celebrate.

If racism was still popular, Nike would have sponsored KKK festivals, not Kaepernick.

Similarly, Apple and co care for "human rights" when it comes to e.g. gay rights (popular cause, means they don't need to change anything in their operations), not when it comes to worker conditions (unpopular and unprofitable). Or they care for sustainability in materials they can cut from their products - not in making their products more serviseable (even if it impacts battery life or weight, since it's for the good of the environment).

It's all cant.

>Lying about history to make some people feel better?

Yup. The point is that almost no one cares about history, so even a few people whining about "inclusion" is enough make a nonsense historical game.

Doesn't this tell us that their penalty on slow pages just wasn't harsh enough?

If publishing slow, bloated pages would reliably come at the cost of not being featured in the first page of Google results, sites would soon change their ways.
If a company were to look for candidates on a site that only accepted rich white men, there would rightfully be outrage. Narrowing the hiring pool to a certain group based on race and sex _is_ discriminatory, and your website is facilitating such blatant discrimination.

Edit: to expand on this, to discriminate is to discern a difference in something. You are explicitly discriminating based on gender and national origin. This part is inarguable. Whether it's right or not is another question.
It's also one in which the side Ubisoft picked is pretty clear.

We're talking about a game series whose central conceit is that an obscure Islamist sect noted mainly for murdering religious figures they disagreed with is actually a secret society acting to preserve an Enlightenment-style libertarian ethos for centuries before the Enlightenment (yet staying curiously neutral during the French Revolution!) Every design decision made in other periods shoehorns in the assumption whichever faction these ahistorically-inserted Assassins are allied to are 'good guys' who believe in freedom fighting an evil conspiracy very loosely associated with a historical Christian order, as well as assumptions like the opportunity to roleplay Vikings will sell more games than protecting Saxon homesteads (commercial pressures the author is well aware of when discussing other design decisions). I'm more surprised by the historically inaccurate weapon choices tbh.

It's clearly an article written by someone with plenty of knowledge about the actual history to share, but still reminds me of an old flatmate criticising the physics of the Simpson's Movie!
