- Surely for debugging and auditing it's always better to write libs in JavaScript? Also, given that much of TypeScripts utilty is for improving the developer experience- is it still as relevant for machine-generated code?
- > A lot of people leave their self-hosted runners running 24/7
Don't they generally only kick in when you push or merge?
- I think youre mixing up two seperate concerns: functionality and standards. It seems to me that there could absolutely be a "dumb browser" that sticks to (and develops) web standards and is also relatively popular
- > Modern HTML/CSS with Web Components and JSDoc is underrated.
I've been a front end developer for 25 years. This is also my opinion.
- This article is actually a veiled, but sensible argument for less income tax and more wealth tax.
- Such a good game- very ahead of its time, great look and feel. Weird that it was allowed to wither and die.
- Is there some sort of example exploit somewhere?
- I did some contract work for Microsoft a few years ago (2011-2013). It was striking how much pressure was put on you to dogfood Microsoft stuff at the expense of basically everything. I can only imagine what it must be like at the moment.
- > "It is unbelievable a private consultancy was paid $78 million to redesign the website," Mr Littleproud said.
This is the crux of the issue. If you have outsourced software engineering competency, yet one of your core missions is maintaining a large pile of software, then this is the inevitable result.
- Is it possible for hobbyists to set a hard cut off for spending? Like, "SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN IF COSTS EXCEED $50"
- This line also gave me that vibe
- I’m 25 years in and still firmly in the beginner zone
- Emacs is probably the most user-friendly editor. Its just not very beginner-friendly.
- "Collaboration as it stands today is considered alpha, and for the time being, is free for all to use!"
This doesn't fill me with confidence.
- Your informative, water-tight argument has convinced me.
- Yes. This was literally a case study for my Sociology degree in the '90s.
(I would also mindfully say that there is a lot of subtle political propaganda in the UK around this issue- the powers that be want the public to blame train drivers for the failures of privatisation)
- > They are expensive, but that is partly because rail workers are well paid
This is in fact an interesting by-product of privatisation: train drivers became rarer due to shareholder reluctance to train and recruit them. They consequently became more expensive. A somewhat fun side effect of the free market, especially given the prevailing assumption that moving public sector employees into the private sector would drive down their pay and conditions.
- > It is supposed to be an answering machine, not some emotional support system.
Many people would beg to differ.
But who knows.
