   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

• Futo, Please don't attempt to create your own Open Source Definition

  The author didn't like how the alternative definition was highly likely to cause misapprehension by likely user audience, who generally use a different interpretation. That's nothing to do with a monopoly. I completely agree with your post-SSPL view of the OSI. Just because all of the big cloud providers are unethical does not give them an escape card. Still, that has no bearing on this essay, which are specific... - Source: Hacker News / about 15 hours ago

• Python's many command-line utilities

  I recognize this is the most trivial example cited, but on a Mac, you can also use the `open` command to open an URL:

      open "http://example.com"

• How to use database triggers in Rails

  Now let's try to create a URL. Assuming the Url model is already created, we expect that calling Url.create(long: 'https://dev.to') will return a Url object with both long and short attributes populated. However, by default, this won't happen because Rails expects that after a record is created, only the ID and timestamps can change, so it doesn't update other attributes. To make this work, I will redefine the... - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago
