I mean, most of those people could just exercise or change their diets instead of relying on expensive drugs with unknown long term side effects

It's still a definite conflict of interest; the author is making an argument that they have a financial interest to advance regardless of how true it is

I took that article a lot less seriously after seeing that the author just founded an AI startup

I've always thought that "Silicon Valley" was just a broad term that described tech companies anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area.

thanks, I needed a good chuckle today

It's very opinionated compared to the alternatives and it has a "batteries included" kind of approach. There's a "right" way to do things and you don't need to pull in a lot of third party libraries for basic functionality. The native typescript support is really nice too.

Good for them. I don't use any of their products, but I'm rooting for them

RIP Pebble. I still wear my Pebble Time Steel every day

I've been using Mutagen for years to offload running docker containers during local development from my Mac to a Linux machine and it works great. I'm glad to see more people talking about it.

What use does China have for icebreakers?

This kind of research seems promising because it's not even a substitute, it claims to be the exact same product, only derived from a different source. A lot of people don't want weird plant based alternatives to animal products because of the taste or nutritional content.

Isn't this fraud?

Gradle also has the ability to skip things it has already done. It won't recompile code that hasn't changed, won't run tests that haven't changed, etc

Yeah, I have no idea what that person is talking about. I'm in the same situation as you; we can compile hundreds of thousands of lines of Java code in dozens of different jars in less time than it takes for one of our frontend javascript builds to run.

Gradle and Maven are both a million times better than whatever constantly changing collection of random stuff you have to use to build a contemporary node project.

It's nice to see truth in journalism every once in awhile

Ukraine is a democracy. It's not up to us or anyone else to "ensure their neutrality" if that's not what they want. We already refused to allow them into NATO under the guise of "ensuring their neutrality" and look how that turned out.

What's the alternative? Doing nothing while Russia invades countries in Eastern Europe one after the other?

That's not entirely true; Allied forces fought against North Korea under the banner of UN

You seem to be completely ignoring the lack of legitimacy and popular support that the authoritarian regimes in both Iraq and Afghanistan had, as well as the human rights violations that were commonplace while they were in power.

The war in Afghanistan was obviously a complete and total failure given that the Taliban are now back in charge, but it's hard to argue that after all this time that the Iraqis aren't better off living in an (albeit flawed) democracy than under the rule of Saddam Hussain.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were repugnant, but comparing the invasion of countries with brutal authoritarian regimes with the invasion of a functional liberal democracy seems disingenuous.

The original article says the same thing multiple times

My organization decided to hold off on purchasing M1 MacBooks for developers until they're better supported by third party software. Too much stuff just crashes or doesn't work well, even with QEMU and Rosetta.

This won't work on the new M1 macs since it uses VirtualBox

That was a very insightful interview. It's always fun to see how those retro games were made

Auditing of changes. We have to have a second table that stores history for any table that may need to be audited in the future

There are very, very few backward incompatible changes in Java

I swear I saw an article on here a few months ago about the decline of Rails

Gradle itself isn't written in Groovy; it's 5% Java, 95% Kotlin

This doesn't appear to be true just by looking at the Gradle GitHub repository. It claims that the code in the repo is 46% Groovy, 44% Java and 6% Kotlin

Childless people already pay more taxes since they don't have dependents to claim
