  • Partly, I think another part of it is to destroy system that, while having flaws, for the most part works.

    Then it will be much easier to just remove them in the future, "why are we paying X billion a year for this when it doesn't even work?"

  • The funny thing is that the cookie warning only applies to tracking cookies, for stuff like session cookies you do not need it.

    But it is always easier to just nag the user too many times than to risk something, so everyone just adds the warning anyway.

    Also, IANAL so don't trust me!

  • Re-binding caps lock is such a nice thing. I am a Perl programmer (yes, really), though not in emacs (vim all the way!)

    I changed caps locks to $ and @ with shift decades ago. Especially since in my native layout they are awkward to reach.

  • I just started skipping the first 1-2 pages of all ads, they usually just talk about what a fantastic company they are, etc. Just noise that no one is interested in, not even the ones lying about it.

    At the end after all the fluff there is usually a description of what you are supposed to know and do. And if there isn't, well I am not wasting my time with them.

    Also, describing salary range seems very different in different countries

  • More often than not that is corporate speak for "we fired the old team and replaced them with cheaper workers. And we didn't want to pay them to learn the old code/they tried but failed, so we are dumping features now"

  • Has Golang fizzled? It has struck me as too primitive, but basically on the right track.

    My biggest issue with Golang by far is the close tie to Google. They are not our friendly innovator, time and time again they make decisions that will help them earn more ad money, and nothing else. And they have a lobg history of releasing something and then never fix the issues with it, and then more or less abandon it.

    Other than that there are afaik some other issues with go, I'm not an expert but from what I hear the GC is quite aggressive and you can't tell it to run when you want. Doing something time sensitive? Well, bad luck. GC time!

  • Eh, git is good but it is not like he invented source control. Before git there were subversion and before that CVS, along with a lot of others (mostly pay to use).

    Git does some things really good and has become more or less the de-facto standard, it does other things not so good (like binary files). But it is not unique.

  • It sort if have to be. In the end there has to be one source of truth for each TLD, otherwise who is to say who owns foo.com, and what it resolves to?

    And then the same structure for assigning TLD ownership.

    But there is nothing stopping you from running another DNS service, call it DNS2 with different root servers, etc. It is just going to be extemely hard to convince people to use it.
