I wonder if the word that describes our day and age best maybe is “entitled”
And I don’t just mean that a specific group are feeling entitled to a specific thing or such – it rather seems like everyone feel entitled to so many things – and these entitlements clashes often eg when A feels entitled to peace and quiet and B feels entitled to party hard with music on max volume – and then derails into an argument of “You’re stupid”, “No, you’re stupid” and every ounce of common sense is gone…
Open source: A community where we strive to put the blame on someone else
Users blame maintainers
Maintainers blame users
And contributors get mistaken for maintainers by users and for users by maintainers – so they receive blame from everyone and are maybe also blaming everyone?
@ecosystems Maybe I should get myself some kind of API-key and enable my tool to be given an API-key? Because I'm for sure doing more than 5k requests per hour right now
It can now return the result in order (at cost of performance of course) and it also got a new method: mergeIterables(), which interweaves values from multiple async iterables in parallel
I keep wondering if the merging of the Nodejs Foundation and the jQuery Foundation into OpenJS Foundation created an organization too anonymous for people to support it like this, but that can change https://mastodon.social/
Seems like every larger open source project will have its moment of small-core vs big-core discussions.
Should the core only contain the bare minimum of essential parts and leave the rest to the ecosystem or should the core be plug and play?
One solution I prefer as a solution to both is by creating distributions that bundle the small core with a default set of modules from the ecosystem. Then one can decide to start of with a distribution or with the small core itself.
@jgarber Yeah, it’s consistent there, and was nice to get it officially confirmed (and funnily enough some GitHub employees learned about it through that PR 😅)
In this day and age people seem to want to simplify things to the extreme and then be extremely opinionated about whatever conclusions they draw from that extreme simplification.
(If you don’t agree that’s because you are a <appropriate stereotype> and thus embody everything that is wrong with this world.)
Completed setup of a #refurbed small Windows PC today and remoted into it from my MacBook to #debug some #nodejs code that was failing its windows tests on GitHub Actions
Is almost 20 years since Windows was my primary dev machine – it feels so alien nowadays when all my dev work is centered around git and cli-tools
