So, there IS a series of tubes?


I would also point out that a lot of organizations think scrum ceremonies and sprint satisfy the requirement for ticking the agile checkbox, but in reality, practice waterfall.


Hm, agreed that the ceremonies are there just to tick some checkbox, but why does it mean this is waterfall "in practice"?

To me, most orgs don't practice any kind of sensible methodology at all. Waterfall implies a rigor they don't have.


What business? This seems to be completely free, with no pricing, in-app purchases, or anything. That being said, it's strange that it doesn't seem to be open-source.


Haven't used it personally, but I would suggest looking into Apache Hudi


Good to know about but looks more like an open source snowflake (e.g. data lake). Fivetran and Census are the in/out process layers that bookend the data lake. Although, Hudi does look like it has some of that functionality baked in.


One thing I always appreciated about CoffeeScript was its [heregex syntax](https://coffeescript-cookbook.github.io/chapters/regular_exp...), which made regexes clear and easy to document.

Many CoffeeScript constructs were adopted into JavaScript and TypeScript, but unfortunately, heregexes weren't among them.


I agree. I'm pretty sure jashkenas got it from Ruby, which got it from Perl, with the `/x` flag (for extended regular expressions).

Later languages have added support for the `x` flag, including C# and Rust. There is also a stage 1 proposal for JavaScript: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-x-mode


Nice roundup, and thanks for sharing that proposal!


Notepad++ has /x mode as well.

I probably use regexes the most in notepad++


I'm gonna ask my chatgpt to write like you ;)

I went from understanding none of it, to everything making sense. Thanks!


I got a stylus for my iPad and i felt that way at the beginning but I learned that i visualize in my head what I'm going to create right before I draw, and the difference between what's in my mind vs what gets produced is so great, that it feels like a weird uncanny valley and i hate the output.


Does that do the same thing as simply putting quotes around your search term?


No, it does the same thing as selecting Tools > [All results >] Verbatim.

Putting quotes in addition is still necessary when searching for a phrase, or when you have multiple search terms you want all to appear in every hit (though that's still not 100% reliable).


Well, I think a lot of the uptick happened last week because that's when it was published in the Toughtworks Tech Radar for this quarter. The audience is large, presumably larger than HN, and that's how I found out about it and have been toying with it since then. I have no idea what I'm doing, but as far as I can tell, this seems like a legitimate project.


This aligns with what you said:

https://devboard.gitsense.com/langgenius?id=4d1dec9067&r=lan...

I created insights for the last 4 weeks and number of new contributors and stars peaked last week. This project has all the signs of a successfully organically grown project.


never heard of tech radar, interesting thanks!


If you haven't already, set up a profile on upwork. The barrier to entry is a lot lower on short term projects, so you are more likely to find some work to keep your finances from depleting too quickly.

It will also give you a boost of confidence, an opportunity to build social proof about your work, and it may even end up scoring you a longer term engagement.

Good luck!


I tried that the other day. Says my email address exists when I try to sign up. Then it says it doesn't when I try to log in / reset password.
