Almost spit out my coffee

They’re trashing our rights!

I was just in the middle of writing something similar above, thanks!

Of course, ActiveRecord back in 2005.

The Django ORM / migrations are still basically unmatched in happiness factor.

This is essentially how some fixed wireless providers (like Starry) deliver the last mile (twisted pair).

I still feel like Swift 5 (5.2?) was the sweet spot. Right now there are just way too many keywords, making C++ look easy again.

Similarly, I find Combine / GCD code far easier to write and read and understand, and the semantics are better than structured concurrency. I have plenty of production Combine code in use by (hundreds of) millions of people and it hasn't needed to be touched in years.

Git ‘remotes’ can have rules (hooks that run on push, and decline).

GitHub has ‘branch protection’ which prevents various changes. But GitHub is not Git. A common misconception lately due to its popularity.

Git itself is nothing more than a set of tools to manage the versions of a repository. How you choose to use it is up to you, and what you allow.

Solo developer? Rebase, or don’t.

Do you collaborate? Maybe consider using a SaaS product like GitHub and setup your rules.

Cyberarmy was pretty fun too

Definitely a fun demo!

It’s practically a requirement…let’s say there was no iOS class when I was in school, but there was an App Store.

Indeed, it’s not out of reach and compute density is higher than the Mac Pro with Minis (even the core i9). M1 / M2 is vastly higher.

I wrote a hacky version of SKIP LOCKED using advisory locks and a recursive CTE before it was released for a job queue. It worked splendidly, along with the transactional semantics of a proper database. I’m surprised more systems don’t realize they need it.

Like a store and forward wifi mesh network? I worked on this in 2008.
