Internationally where? In Europe we care more about the people US kills with their shitty healthcare and gun laws than some false flag excuse to reoccupy Iraq oil
They strayed too far from the core product and had to be cut. I consider it a sensible decision from a budget perspective? How much does it make sense for a nonprofit to fund a growing language? Now corps can spend their money on Rush instead directly
Damn I hope I never have to leave gmail and bother with this self setup crap. Would you self hosting guys feel silly if gmail existed in 30 years and you wasted all this time doomsday prepping for nothing?
What is the point of disabled features in master except to not have to have feature branches. Making sure it compiles? You aren't really using those code paths are you? You should have unit tests on your feature branch anyways
Holy shit the amount of made up things you just wrote. "Systematic code review adds friction"? At Microsoft we switched from Perforce or whatever the old centralized system was to gitfs and productivity tripled. We didn't have to manage dumb zip files anymore. We already had code review because what is wrong eith you why wouldn't you have it. Why does continuous integration contradict feature branching? How do you have stable versions of the software if you have unfinished features and hacking in the master version?? I guess this makes sense for very small teams early in the development process but then you can just skip feature branching in git for a while. Git is a godsend
Why does is handling state on the backend better than handling it on the frontend? You will always have the cost of waiting for the server to return the full html every time you want something to happend and still you will have cases where you are handling state on the frontend
Json is not popular because it saves bits but because it's easily readable and maps 1:1 with js objects. I've worked with xml and xslt and while I see the advantages I still prefer json for anything. Your validation should come from annotated objects on the backend anyways which should be a single source of truth and then it doesn't matter which markup format you are validating
"When started"? I don't think it was ever really considered BS other than maybe specifically western medicine in the past max 100 years. Doesn't it make sense that with the progress medicine has done in the last century that we would scrutinise methods which couldn't be scientifically proven?
