Just fire them and do a ROLLBACK

I think that's a side-effect of how code must be written to work with dependency injection, to make the injection actually possible, IMO it's not the DI itself that makes it testable.

I've found DI pretty useful when building frameworks, it gives you a sort of generic plugin system. Plus you can hide it from consumers if that makes sense. If you're just building applications I'm not sure it's worthwhile.

It's hard to get a sense of the scale of it from most of those pictures, but the one with a person next to it, just amazing

I don't have as many complaints about Python's dependency system as most people but that issue is very painful. Calculating dependencies properly is slow and very vulnerable to network failures, causes constant issues inside corporate networks with crappy VPNs and unreliable networks.

They're reasonable points, and I'm not trying to start a war. Specifically for youtube I guess I find it weird because the people I watch on there at least are regular folks, not big faceless marketing machines, I want to support them. Or at least shaft them by hand rather than automatically :P. As to why I think you're supporting them by watching the sponsored bits:

1. As I mentioned in another comment, if nobody's watching then the sponsors won't sponsor. You can argue that this isn't tracked, or whatever, but that's a bit like the free rider problem - "ok" if a few people do it but if everyone did it the system doesn't work.

2. Like it or not, ads aren't just about you buying things. They're about making consumers aware. Six months later you won't even know how you knew it when you mention it to someone. I hate this so I don't watch ads; I give one of my most-hated companies money so I don't see ads. I don't watch free to air tv, either.

3. Maybe you will buy the thing! Can't always tell, if you have a modicum of trust for the creator you might pay attention to how they describe the features and use their links. Bit optimistic but eh.

Just my opinion obviously :)

That's true in the short term, but sponsors don't pay for people to shill their products if nobody's watching.

I explained why I skipped it in some circumstances, I think I probably watch 90% of them. Or does this sponsor block thing let you choose when to skip? It didn't look like it but that would be great if so.

Not trying to make accusations but why would anyone block these segments? Isn't that how the content creator is making a living? I just skip them by hand if they go on and on or I've already seen it or whatever.

It's not as convenient out of the box but I use frp. With the deployment and configuration automated it's pretty good.

Conversely, if you're already familiar with something, it might make sense to you despite being poorly written and unconvincing.

A year or two ago when I was using Ubuntu I liked them for certain things like jetbrainse IDEs. Easy to install, easy to keep updated. I think for desktop apps they weren't bad. I also used LXD, an otherwise very fine system, with snaps and it was a disaster due to cluster members auto-updating in an uncontrolled manner. So that wasn't great.

I don't use Ubuntu anymore so don't have a current opinion.

Doing things that are annoying, just like every other class of human? Exactly the same way cyclists get pissed at drivers, or pedestrians, or other cyclists.

Thanks. Lots of commending! They must be a commendable lot.

I thought that was a joke at first but that's what's on the support link from Google. What. The. F.

I've used it a bit in cases where you need to use object storage on prem, or when you don't have cloud service access during development. But I don't see a use for it myself beyond that.

I tried scalajs for a few tiny personal projects and I really like it. For me it would have to be a very application-y product to use this over typescript but I really liked the experience.

I think it's clear the threat here is aliens

That's very surprising.

I noticed that last bit. What an absolutely moronic thing to say. Everyone is capable of making mistakes.

It's fine for the web. I used it for years. Not a great general purpose language though, if for no other reason than the ecosystem is focussed on the web.

Have to find something for their engineers to do so they don't have time to make Teams usable

Lucky :P

Yes! I saw that link there and thought, cool idea showing a practical use case.

Hilarious route to security, only Perl programmers can work it out and they won't be bought off

I think there are too many options, or not enough direction for busy people. Once you understand how it all works and pick / build the right tools it all works pretty well.

RECAP, what an amazing name. Love it.

It's just not the fastest cache plugin (at least by name)

I tried to wipe it a few times.

I wonder how effective Batman would be at fighting cybercrime.
