Re:Mounting your iPhone on your motorcycle can damage its camera

it's not just mounted iphones. An iphone doesn't fit in the motorcycle mount but an old oneplus does, so that gets mounted and iphone stays in my jacket pocket. Iphone camera is fubar, oneplus is working just fine.

Re:SQL and M4 = Composable SQL

I've found text manipulation of SQL can quickly degenerate into a nightmare of concatenation, nested quoting & escaping.
I wrote up Using plain Jinja[1] or SQLAlchemy+Jinja[2] as complementary techniques. The post is a bit dated but the principles should still work.

Couldn't we mash something like [flattr](https://flattr.com/) into the package managers ( npm, pip, cpan etc.)?
That would give the companies/users an option of regularly contributing a fixed budget to x FOSS projects without having to track down who/where/how for each dependency. The org collecting the micro payments distributes once a month to project maintainers with commit privileges.
For static libs, the project maintainers recursively use the same mechanism, the money trickles all the way down the dependency tree.

Ha - I find unsubstantiated, parroted mantras like this to be a team lead smell :)
In the same way that Agile development has become a mindless cult of rituals that has little to nothing left of the original manifesto's vision, code reviews peppered with thoughtless "code smell" comments have become the bane of development.

Re:Toml: Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language

A killer feature of TOML compared to JSON is that it allows comments. A config file without comments and examples ain't great.
I found the double square bracket syntax useful and understandable. Agreed it's not obviously .INI or perfectly elegant but it certainly works and has its use-cases.
Anyways, thank you @mojombo!

Re:How do you make programmers work 60-80 hours per week?
on Sunday April 09, 2017 @02:47AM (#14070847)
Agreed to a point, but there's also several hours a day of non-programming that just has to get done which never features in these SV conversations. Dealing with network guys to get the firewall exceptions you need, getting the DBA to actually do the indexes you asked for, endless ticket updates, meetings, more meetings, timesheets, checking the contractor's deliverables, production issues, interuptions etc. etc. Then add understaffing, UAC policies, sanfus and shifting requirements. So sure, 3 or 4 hours in the programming zone easily becomes a 55hr week.
