Boycotting Israeli companies (read Jewish as I'm sure he has no problem sending money to Israeli companies ran by Palestinians ie. Muslims) is automatically associating every Israeli Jew with government policies.

I find this to be an odd take. The Django migrations engine is probably its strongest feature.
Oof. I’m very sympathetic to the complexities around the BDS movement, but this is a pretty challenging take to get behind.

Discrimination against blacks is illegal in the context of denying individuals things like employment, access to housing and medical care, shopping, etc. You have to show that the individual or business has specifically taken action in some way to deny one or more individuals their rights.

In fact, the same rules apply to discrimination based on religion, or national origin or background. So anyone who has discriminated against someone who is Jewish or from Israel is subject to similar liability.

But nowhere in any of these laws does it say that a business has to promise to never protest or disagree with the country that one of those groups come from. I have to hire people from France if they’re qualified, but I’m also allowed to protest the French government’s policies on basically anything.

If the law from this article was applied to, say, Saudi Arabia or Mexico, would we be comfortable supporting it?

Keep this in mind.

So are you allowed to protest the French government by boycotting French companies? Ie. not doing business with French people? The first half of your sentence is directly at odds with the second. How do you actually boycott France if not by applying the boycott to it's people?

The Israeli boycott isn't simply saying you don't agree with their government, it's actively boycotting companies run by Israeli Jews and not hiring Israeli Jews.

But the way I use my editor is that I'm usually in it all day. Both for editing code, but also for personal notes, etc. So it's on all day and I spend most of my time in it.

This effectively means I have one tool that I mainline. I'll still use vim in the odd situation where I can't use my main editor, but it's usually just easier for me to open files in the editor I already have open.

> It seems useful to maybe duplicate some information here and there to make different customer journeys more straightforward.

Strongly disagree with this. It’s something the Neatherlands government does. Trying to understand their COVID rules for traveler's was hell, because they duplicated the same information for different flows. This created two problems:

1. Google turned up half a dozen similar, but different pages with the same content.

2. It was impossible to figure out what the canonical version of the information was, when each page was subtly different.

3. Each version assumed you already had some context, but didn’t tell you where to find that context. So you were left with stupid statements like “You must fill out a travellers form” but no link to the form, and search will bring up half a dozen results, all subtly different again.

Contrast that to gov.uk, where there were a number of high level articles that stepped you through the decision process, with links (gosh, using hypertext to link to useful information, what in idea) to pages that had all the details and context for each specific step, if the summary on the page wasn’t enough. Those pages then contained all the detail and context you needed to understand the nuance of the issue, and linked to other similar pages if you needed more context.

The result was that I was able to understand the travel rules for the U.K. without every leaving the gov.uk site and using Google, because all the information was properly linked together, and first page I landed on from Google was either the right starting point, or had a big button at the top which took me to the right starting point.

This is outrageous. Texas and other republican states boast about small government and unparalleled free speech, and they go ahead and prevent people from boycotting another state.

They have no business doing that and this is absolutely ridiculous.

> …

> To give time for such an audit, the transitional USE_DEPRECATED_PYTZ setting allows continued use of pytz during the 4.x release cycle. This setting will be removed in Django 5.0.
Those options are not mutually exclusive.

> No. The C/C++ ABI is quite uniform across architectures. The first 1..N (N is ISA dependant) parameters that can fit into a CPU register are passed via registers.

Here is the "System V i386 ABI" mentioned above: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/elf/abi386-4.pdf (from https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/). It clearly passes all arguments on the stack, and none on registers ("Function Calling Sequence" starting on page 35). That is the ABI used on 32-bit x86 Linux if you don't specify -mregparm (which the kernel uses); since the author was calling the compiler directly (which was necessary because the kernel makefiles only have rules for building C files, not C++ files), there was a mismatch between the -mregparm used by the kernel and the default ABI used by the C++ compiler, which was fixed by also passing -mregparm to the C++ compiler.

I like to use Dash https://kapeli.com/dash, which makes browsing the standard library for Python really fast and smooth. One could argue that you shouldn't need a separate app for documentation, and you might be right, but it is a great experience.
Alternatively, rather than view all Stack Overflow questions as inevitable, we could view Stack Overflow as a failure of the core documentation or system to address user issues sufficiently.

And better documentation should result in fewer SO questions.

In terms of the point of this article I think it is still in-line with what you are saying - as Stack Overflow answers are useful to solve an issue but are much harder to parse/read than properly written documentation on the same topic.

I am so cheering this on. Whenever I see a FAQ I think, “Lazy, didn’t want to bother organizing the information, doesn’t know how to write documentation.”
This is really huge. If a script is going to be used by anyone other than yourself, it needs to be readily accessible (e.g. understood) for the group that will be using it.

As someone who chose Fastly over Cloudflare for a small-medium business after a long, long deliberation I disagree.

Cloudflare's pricing is sneaky. They are good for small and personal projects with their free tier, but as soon as you need anything non trivial you get hit with their $xxxx/mo minimum commitment, "contact us for pricing" Enterprise plan. On Fastly you pay $50/mo (peanuts for a business) and that's it for basically anything you might want from a CDN, VCL is endlessly flexible and free. That $50 buys you access to a featureset that is arguably beyond Cloudflare's Enterprise plan. You will need quite a lot of traffic to go over $50, so overall it works out significantly cheaper for an SME that wants to use anything but a very basic CDN.

It's also important to remember that a lot of cases are perfectly served by VCL, I believe most businesses won't even need C@E. Sure, most people would need to learn a bit about it, but it's amazing to have it on your disposal for free compared to a usual rigid configuration.

Besides, something they don't advertise but is now the main selling point for me is support. Fastly was the only company I had pleasure dealing with where after shooting a technical question to their free tier support I got not just a technical answer, but a piece of code that solved the problem I had. In an hour. With a link to their Fastly Fiddle demonstrating how it works. When I encountered what looked like a bug, a few hours later their support person filed a PR to their TF provider fixing the docs. It was and is a breath of fresh air compared to my experience with any other SaaS, Cloudflare included.

I think the only thing that could've swayed me is Cloudflare's Chinese network. It's gated behind their Enterprise plan and they won't hold your hands much, but if you need it it's there.
So, is he or his company allowed to protest against China, as allowed by the 1st amendment? Hmm, no law banning that...

> The GDS team works on portal to other services.

No GDS does both. The run the main portal, but they also consult and build out the actual services as well.

The entire reasons for GDSs success is because they were given the authority to go into and department, and simply replace what they had. GDS designed systems have slowly replaced every other government over the past 10 years.

Today you have to be doing something really unusual to encounter a service that hasn’t been overhauled by GDS. Everything from passport renewals to tax reports have all been rebuilt by GDS, and all are clear and easy to use.

If you’re not a U.K. citizen using gov.uk services, then I have no idea how you can comment on what GDS have and have not built. But it’s substantially more than a portal, the portal is barely scratching the surface of what they’ve achieved.

Quoting from http://vger.kernel.org/lkml/#s15-3 :

"In the dark old days, in the time that most of you hadn't even heard of the word "Linux", the kernel was once modified to be compiled under g++. That lasted for a few revisions. People complained about the performance drop. It turned out that compiling a piece of C code with g++ would give you worse code. It shouldn't have made a difference, but it did. Been there, done that."
