Where I work, they don't really give a shit if you have to go to an appointment or whatever. You just let people know you're going to be out at such and such time and that's it. No micromanaging of time since we're all adults and know what our deadlines and deliverables are. It's a salaried position, though.

If I had no flexibility at all that would definitely be pretty miserable.

I mean, social media should be banned for everyone, not just teenagers. It's a great evil in the world today, and in a functional democracy that wasn't braindead, we should ban them outright for the mass harm and destruction they have caused.

That being said, I fully understand that the motivations of countries for these kinds of bans have little to do with the harm of social media and are much more about surveillance.

Good, maybe people will use it less.

Developing a FOSS project does not absolve you of any and all responsibility to not be shitty. In order for the system to work, everyone involved (developers and users alike) should be stewards of the commons.

He's murdered a bunch of Iranians, including schoolgirls. So it definitely fits.

As far as gods go, his god is himself, so that counts too, imo.

My brother works for a company acquired by Bain. They are every bit the vulture capitalists bleeding companies into lifeless husks.

Looks like a category theory book. And they're right: using A to notate the identity arrow is ridiculous.

Who are these mythical "real chiropractors" that you speak of?

It's pseudoscience, and always has been.

That is in no way related to what I said.

LLM slop is not welcome here.

Not sure why, seems just like useful advice. It sounds like the author does contracting of some sort, so having tools to quickly orient around a new codebase makes a lot of sense.

Nah, microslop is a great name, especially because they throw tantrums about the name. It's very descriptive of what they have become.

I prefer real science, thanks. You know, the kind that gets published in scientific journals and peer-reviewed, where they actually try to provide controls for what they are measuring, rather than going "trust me bro, I tried it and it's a total game changer".

No, I'm saying you should link to actual sources instead of whatever an LLM decided to barf out (which may or may not be rife with inaccuracies).

Posting garbage like that is both a recipe for spreading misinformation (and we have strong evidence that LLMs greatly increase the potency and spread of misinformation), as well as devolving intellectual discourse into users just tossing slop back and get forth at each other. It would be trivial to make an LLM say the opposite of what you claim. So why should one trust the text spewed out by your LLM vs the text spewed out by someone else's? Regardless if what you say is true, giving us the garbage from an LLM as "supporting evidence" completely undermines what you are trying to say.

Find real sources and link them. It raises the quality of discussion and makes the internet an ever so slightly better place.

Obviously not, because that's not possible.

The git CLI. GUIs don't get anywhere near what it can do, and the CLI is scriptable and can easily interop with other programs.

Obviously don't have the full context, but rarely is it ever advisable to give third parties direct access to a database. There are many reasons for this, like, for example, the fact that doing so makes schema migrations practically impossible.

I think you're using the word "framework" quite broadly here. Cloudflare and databases aren't "frameworks". The word is perhaps ill-defined, but generally it means something like "an opinionated library ecosystem in a programming language". React, Vue, and the like are Javascript "framework" libraries for making what are called Single Page Applications. They are hardly the only way to make websites, though, and some (including yours truly) believe them to much more trouble than they are worth for most purposes.

Laravel, Django, Ruby on Rails, etc. are all backend/server-side "framework" libraries for creating Multi-Page Applications, or in other words, the model for which the web was originally designed (that is, you get HTML and follow links embedded in that HTML to get to new pages).

At any rate, a "file system for a website" is quite vague. It really depends on what your goals are. You have to define what is you're trying to do and who it's for. It's not particularly difficult to spin up an sftp server to allow remote access to files if all you care about is remote copying, but I'm going to assume you mean a file server served over HTTP(S).

There's about a million tools out there for serving up static files, getting a directory listing, etc., and it really depends on your goals. It's fairly simple to configure nginx to serve up a directory with a very rudimentary index if you don't need anything fancy (nginx can do fancy too, ofc, just takes more work than what comes out of the box). I personally like Caddy over nginx these days, though. Caddy in particular requires very little configuration, honestly.

But yeah, without more information about what is is you're trying to accomplish, it's difficult to give specific recommendations.

I mean, that's simply an incorrect definition and not what anyone means when they use the word, speaking as a senior engineer working on web applications over the last 10 years. Such a broad definition is practically meaningless since it encompasses pretty much everything in programming.

A database is 100% not a "framework", it is a software application that allows clients to retrieve data by supplying queries in a dedicated DSL.

cdnjs is also decidedly not a framework, nor is any other CDN. CDNs are an infrastructural component in networking that allows content to be cached in servers that are geographically distributed over large distances in order to reduce the effects of network transmission time (since content can be served from servers closer to the client). It has very little to do with programming.

A framework is a library (or possibly, set of related libraries) in a programming language that aims to be very "batteries-included", insofar as the programmer gives up precise control over the program they are creating in exchange for having many commonly-needed things for the task (typically, SPAs or web servers) already done for them. The reason I said it's perhaps ill-defined as a word is that the line between what counts as a library and what counts as a framework is a bit blurry.

if you sleep at the same time consistently, changing that is a big change for your body. It takes time to adjust a strong routine, and it takes a physical toll to do so.

We have lots of evidence of it causing all kinds of problems: increased numbers of heart attacks, car accidents, and more. It very much is a detriment to society.
