oleg_antonyan commented on Ask HN: Programmers who don't use autocomplete/LSP, how do you do it? · Posted by u/zackoverflow
In dynamic languages things like autocomplete often make it worse, they cannot identify the correct types and locations 100% of the times. So at some point I decided to avoid these and got used to it. To the point where I avoid QtCreator for Qt/C++ projects b/c autocomplete and fancy navigation features become annoying and distracting

Ruby is my least favorite part of Rails by far. The lack of type checking makes every single gem and rails update extremely dangerous in ways that are incredibly difficult to predict.
For example the redis gem updated to return an int from exists() instead of a bool like it did before. This doesn’t raise any exceptions because all ints work in if statements. They just always return true. Silently breaking all of the code using it. You can read all of the change logs and search your own code base, but will constantly run in to situations where another gems code is using the method that just changed.
As well as the fact that almost every method has one param “options” where the available options are never listed in the documentation and are impossible to find without reading the source code.
Rails itself I quite like for being an all inclusive framework that just works out of the box, but untyped languages should be avoided at all costs these days when we have much better options like typescript.

A simple IT guy has access to company's finances in such way to move millions. Am I the only one who smells either ridiculous incompetence or plain fraud by the company trying to cover up "something"?
Foobar2000 was and still is the only software I missed since uninstalling Windows as a teenager (rhythmbox is pretty good though).
try https://github.com/olegantonyan/mpz/ not even close in terms of features, but it could be enough

Individual companies being owned by their employees isn't socialism. For that matter, the Soviet Union wasn't socialist either - the workers owned nothing, the state owned everything. All the land, all the factories, all the manufactured goods.
Yep, that's what it leads to. But it all began with "good" intentions. They destroyed well-developed empire, took the land from the rich and see where it all now. Trust me, you don't want "to take money from the rich and spread them across poor" in USA, it sucks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekulakization. Pleas, keep being a place where anyone can build a unucorn company and become rich af

more nuance wouldn’t hurt
The headline itself literally repeats Marxists theory: the means of production belong to workers aka proletartiat. Inside the article they oppose this working class to "evil rich CEOs" aka bourgeoisie. I won't even go deeper to unrelated to the article topics like "evil imperialism" and other nowadays popular in the west ideas used by Lenin&co hundred years ago. This crap cannibalizes the very foundation of the success of the western civilization and many people fall into this - that's insane to me

It's insane how socialism is growing in the west after defeat of soviet union
Currently it works as standalone player. Addition of MPD client mode opens possibility to play music on a separate device while keeping the UX of the music player that I like.
