Since our earliest days of writing software, we were warned of perils of global data - how it was invented by demons from the fourth plane of hell, which is the resting place of any programmer who dares to use it. (C) Refactoring, 2nd Edition
With things like homebrew you kind of forget that you’re not on Linux, and some things might actually work differently. Trying to connect to a host database server from the container using 172.17.0.1 didn’t work out. After few hours, figuring out that everything’s setup right, you’re not going crazy, you stumble upon this note: The host has a changing IP address (or none if you have no network access).

Here’re some examples from List comprehensions in Python: def palindromes(strings): return [s + s[::-1] for s in strings] def starting_with(letter, names): return [name for name in names if name[0].lower() == letter.lower()] JavaScript, however, decided to remove its support from standard in favour of filter/arrow/map functions....

Wong speculates that the reversal of this policy is in preparation of Facebook integrating its messaging services across all its apps: Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram....
John Resig, founder of jQuery, recently raised a great discussion on how to handle Single Page Application reloading after deployment. For folks that've developed Single Page Apps - how do you deal with users leaving pages open for a *really* long time? Reload every N days? Reload after a deploy? We frequently have users attempt actions many weeks after a feature was removed! — John Resig (@jeresig) January 10, 2019 Some of the options included:...
Github recently released its annual report - Octoverse 2018. Ben Halpern descried an interesting fact about the use of emojis in in Github issue tracker. According to Github infographics in the report, “the kindest” development community is Ruby developers. In a sense of support and appreciation for other developers via the use of emojis. Some might say that this metric won’t say much about the “the kindness” of the community. So you might consider also the age distribution of the developers....
Great talk from Joe Armstrong on how they created Erlang, and how Programming community looked back in the days. Amazing, inspiring, worth watching:
