Except that DNS does not mean Domain Name Server, but Domain Name System. So DNS Server makes sense (Domain Name System Server).


Fair.

even the original rfcs from 198x only write about domain name servers though, which is why the DNS server is still a misnomer of the same kind, even if my attempt of rationalizing it failed - as that's the only thing you've called into question with that.

Because if domain name system server makes sense to you, then language server protocol server has to make sense in the same way, as that's literally the same concept


LSP Server does make sense, the problem is that the title calls it a "HTML LSP", not a "HTML LSP Server". The thing described is a server, not a protocol.


I believe a framework like Bootstrap might be a faster approach at the beginning (honestly, it's a fair approach for the whole lifecycle of a project). You get all the building blocks to get a consistent UI working fairly quick with little to no CSS knowledge. Some times removing the unnecessary flexibility may be a boost to get things out there.

But, at the end of day, the best option will be the one you're most comfortable with.


Also, Bootstrap gives you plenty of copy-and-paste ready examples, including accessibility enhancements. Accessibility can be an after-thought to not just devs, but many designers, but Bootstrap helps put it right up front for the lazy developer.

Anecdotally, I've sometimes seen better quality websites for a lot of the little "polish" things like accessibility (which isn't really "polish", is it?) from the laziest "just use Bootstrap" developers than from the most hardworking Tailwind developer+designer combos.


It is a very valid strategy. If you do not have all the controls in place to comply with the burdensome requirements of the EU law (if that's the case), then why should you stop from releasing the service in other markets that do not impose such requirements? A lot of comments here have a sense of entitlement that does not make too much sense to me, especially towards a private company doing a first release of a product. (PS: I live in the EU as well)


They should have used chatgpt to develop their controls. OpenAI figured out how to do it.

It’s weird when a company with Googles resources flubs their rollout. They have a main competitor. Their main competitor does something. They launch with not doing something. Typically, a company wants to launch with doing something better than their competitor.


Just to clarify, I'm not commenting on whether it's a good strategy or not, or whether they are doing a great job or not. I just find it weird some comments in this topic accusing of being "malignant" or feeling like Google owes them to have released in the EU.

I guess they might just want to launch something as quick as possible as a response to OpenAI and Microsoft's partnership. And this knee-jerk reaction left them with gaps they haven't had the time to fix without being very late to the party. All speculation though.


From the context laid in the article, the author meant the first open source project that succeeded without a push from a big private company.

Not saying anything about the factuality of that, just bringing the context into the thread as it’s being ignored. The author mentions Linux as an example in the blog, but says that they had a strong push from IBM.

Here’s the full quote: > We’ve seen some free products gain tremendous traction, but only after help from big businesses. For example, Linux got a lot of support from IBM; Android is Google-owned, and VSCode is from Microsoft.


Devise does not impose anything on the number of tenants. I run a Rails app with multi-tenancy and SSO support with Devise. As someone has mentioned, although it does a lot of the work and it keeps well organized, you still need to do the UI for configuring and some backend logic.


Devise doesn't support SSO, but it supports omniauth, which supports SSO, right?

You certainly can write and maintain code to add multi-tenant sso, but since omniauth does not support any configuration storage, you have to add that yourself.


it’s not uncommon to lose jobs in sidekiq if you heavily rely on it and have a lot of jobs running. If using the free version for mission critical jobs, I usually run that task as a cron job to ensure that it will re-try if the job is lost.

I have in the past monitored how many jobs were lost and, although a small percentage, it was still recurring thing.


I think those ideas are great for increasing usage, safety and public orderly. Although I would disagree that this should be something dealt at the EU level. It would definitely be great for all EU cities to work within the same framework and allow me to use a single app between cities, but I do not think EU should be meddling with such regulations. In my opinion, this should be left for each country (even each city/municipality) to decide. Citizens of countries and even the cities themselves - as most cities do not have e-scooters - should be able to have a say on how to run their respective territories without the EU imposing regulations left and right.


Maybe there's other ways of improving the service without outright banning it. I would be surprised if there has not been a lot of innovations that caused a lot of accidents and endangered a lot of people that have been properly regulated and improved without just saying "this is a menace, let's ban it!". I personaly have enjoyed riding around on scooters along many cities in Europe including my own and would support improvements if stats really show they are very dangerous (couldn't find very supportive data for that at least in my city), but I still believe it would be very shortsighted if the solution is just "ban them" because some people don't like this change.


It would take me a huge mental effort to read "tech bros" as a discrimination based on gender - and I'm a man. They are talking about a few selected guys and decided to call them as tech bros - it's not calling for discrimination against men. No need to take it further, censor, ban.

(Note: I don't care if it's "tech bro" or "tech gal" - not everything is about indoctrination)


I don't think it should be censored here but it is a sexist term. It is never used in a positive way. The publishing industry is female dominated. Imagine that during the recent coverage of their attempts to censor old books, people referred the individuals responsible as "pub maids" or something like that. I don't think it would be quite as accepted.


And that's ok. I do not see what tangible effect this really has on anyone. They decided to use a negative term "bro", so what? Is it that bad? Is someone really taking a hit and feeling bad (besides for the sake of feeling bad under this "rigtheous" weather). I feel like there's more people being negatively affected by this word policing than really using such a word. I would be ok either way, tech bros, pub maids - I don't really look so much into words that it would really affect my thought - but that it wouldn't be accepted is not really indication of much. There are always loud voices that will feel upset by everything.


It should simply be "tech person". There are female founders, too.


"Tech bro" isn't just a generic reference to tech founders. It refers to a particular negative stereotype of a person, usually male, who works in tech and subscribes to "bro culture." Bro culture itself usually comes from fraternity culture (as in "frat bro") and it's often associated with misogynist beliefs.


This is literally like saying "If refers to a particular negative stereotype of a person, usually from a poor neighbour hood, usually black, usually without a father" and ascribing any kind of prejudice to it. Is this seriously the kind of discussion you want to be having?


It literally isn't anything like saying that at all.

>>Is this seriously the kind of discussion you want to be having?

No, that's the discussion you'd prefer to have to detract from the actual subject of conversation in attempt to push your own agenda.


Right but “tech bro” is literally used to describe stereotype of a type of man in tech rather than all men in tech. Presumably female founders aren’t included in the same way non-bro male founders aren’t. In particular a tech bro doesn’t even have to be a founder.


But that removes the meaning of "bro". It should be "tech sibling". Of course, "bro" is short for "brother" so maybe the best solution would be "tech sib".


Although deviating slightly from the original topic. I find it very interesting and nostalgic that other people here have started, possibly, their programming careers through Open Tibia. I myself have, as you did, started programming with Lua on Open Tibia and used to be very active in the community as a kid sharing scripts and projects (The community was always very supportive and made me feel like I could have a career doing it - definitely a great boost for me). It's great to see that Lua is still so relevant (perhaps even more so than when I started) and that it keeps being pushed forward. Congrats to the author for releasing this project.
