  • The number of new devs who complain about having to write a unit test is too damn high

    • Or writing integration tests
    • Or passing CI
    • Or following repo conventions
    • Or following standards
    • Or adhering to domain guardrails
    • Or in adding monitoring
    • Or in not logging everything as info
    • Or in actually documenting features
    • Or in receiving critical PR review
    • Or in addition input validation
    • Or in not trusting the client

    ...etc

    Honestly most devs.... Kinda suck at their job. This is becoming more evident to me every year

  • I work remote (Going on 9 years now) and I miss a sense of community. Do I want to stop working remotely? Hell no, screw that. But two things can be true the same time, I can enjoy and encourage them at work, dnd I can also miss a sense of community.

    I think it's okay to hold this opinion because it's individual to everyone.

    This just comes across as propaganda

    Being dismissive and pulling the rhetoric that this is propaganda is toxic as fuck.

  • Hospital near me has password requirements for their electronic medical records system as:

    • 6 characters, no more, no less
    • 2 characters must be a number
    • 4 characters must be a letter
    • case insensitive
    • never changed

    And for new hires and what not, they tell them to use {hospital abbreviation}{2 digit year}. Like casu24

    No freaking wonder

  • Why would it be on each dev to setup?

    Your repo can, and should, include workspace settings for major editors that provide a uniform experience for anyone onboarded to the platform.

    I agree that precommit hooks are good for uniformity. But slow pre commit hooks are frustrating, they are also often turned off. Your CI will always be the last gatekeeper for linting/formatting rules regardless.

    Making precommit hooks slower means more devs disable them, which is the opposite of what you want. Save them for simple, read, checks and validations that can run in < 1s for even huge changesets.

  • Or on save even. Slow pre commit hooks suckkkk

  • That's not a linting problem that's a formatting problem.

    That project should have automatic formatting on save setup.

    Linters are not necessarily formatters they're solving two different problems and are becoming increasingly separated in their toolset.

  • Too bad commenters are as bad as reading articles as LLMs are at handling complex scenarios. And are equally as confident with their comments.

    This is a pretty level headed, calculated, approach DARPA is taking (as expected from DARPA).

  • Am I saying you are scientifically illiterate?

    Based on the previous statements, yes. However, as a matter of fact, not necessarily insult.

    The good news is you're following up with questions and want to learn more, instead of doubling down. With curiosity you will become more literate.

    Maybe you were born with all the knowledge of the human race, but the rest of us have to learn it.

    The education system in the country you are from has failed you. Assuming you are in your mid-late teens, or older, scientific topics should have already been taught in what North America would call "middle school" (11-14 years old). That teaches you things like conservation of momentum.

    There is a reason why it's called illiteracy, because there is an expectation that the baseline level of education everyone in developed countries receives teaches them the fundamentals of how the world around them works. Without this fundamental understanding it's not possible to understand more complex topics that build upon it, stunting growth.

  • Equal and opposite reaction.

    There's a law for this. The matter is "pushing" against the ship, it doesn't have to push against anything else.

    In fact having an atmosphere to push against actually reduces the effectiveness of thrust due to atmospheric pressure, which must be overcome. Which is why different engines are designed to run in atmosphere versus out of atmosphere.

    If you throw a baseball in space you have transferred momentum to that baseball, pushing you back. You will move in the opposite direction (likely spin because you just imparted angular momentum onto yourself since you didn't throw from center of mass)

  • Given how many people think that railguns have no recoil because "there is no explosion" they might actually seriously believe what they just wrote.

    Scientific illiteracy is through the roof.

    Or maybe it's the same as it it's always been it's just that people that are scientifically illiterate are given platforms to speak their illiteracy as truth.

  • Doesn't appear to show any charts on Chrome for mobile...

    Seems to be a responsiveness issue, because it goes away in landscape mode, and the charts show.

  • They work great when you have many teams working alongside each other within the same product.

    It helps immensely with having consistent quality, structure, shared code, review practices, CI/CD....etc

    The downside is that you essentially need an entire platform engineering team just to set up and maintain the monorepo, tooling, custom scripts, custom workflows....etc that support all the additional needs a monorepo and it's users have. Something that would never be a problem on a single repository like the list of pull requests maybe something that needs custom processes and workflows for in a monorepo due to the volume of changes.

    (Ofc small mono repos don't require you to have a full team doing maintenance and platform engineering. But often you'll still find yourself dedicating an entire FTE worth of time towards it)

    It's similar to microservices in that monorepo is a solution to scaling an organizational problem, not a solution to scaling a technology problem. It will create new problems that you have to solve that you would not have had to solve before. And that solution requires additional work to be effective and ergonomic. If those ergonomic and consistency issues aren't being solved then it will just devolve over time into a mess.

  • Because your conservative funded news outlets have a very overt goal here.

  • The CEO is a right wing trump worshiper.

    Dig into the company's tweet history, and find archived tweets that were deleted for PR/white-washing reasons.

    Long history of this stuff.

  • Yeah, but that's not what we're talking about here.

    RTF has many more features than markdown can reasonably support, even with your personal, custom, syntaxes that no one else knows :/

    I use markdown for everything, as much as possible, but in the context of creating a RTF WYSIWYG editor with non-trivial layout & styling needs it's a no go.

  • This is what fundamental scientific illiteracy gets you.

    When you have no reference point for how the world around you works anything makes sense.

  • I mean... Every serious operating system already has some form of keyring feature right?

  • Not necessarily. There are many paths to exfiltrated data that don't require privileged access, and can be exploited through vulnerabilities in other applications.

  • Yeah, and electron already has a secureStorage API that handles the OS interop for you. Which signal isn't using, and a PR already exists to enable...
