My day job uses the JVM heavily. I don’t have issues with garbage collection and don’t mind the languages to much. I’ve used a bunch of common languages, Python, JavaScript, Typescript, PHP, Bash, Go etc. Not so common languages such as Has

The author is probably compiling inside an x86 container on his Mac M1. Doing anything in an x86 container/vm is extremely slow on the Mac M1 as it’s arm64 not x86. That specific issue is nothing to do with Rust. Why the author is doin

This is fantastic, I only hope it actually happens and other jurisdictions follow. KTM motorcycles owned by Pierer mobility, a 1.7 billion dollar company have just started pulling this nonsense. Their latest motorcycle has “Demo mode”. Demo

Typescript, Golang, Rust are all relatively new. That means only a few years ago they were niche, no one used them. Rust still is niche. They could have died in popularity like the other languages you mentioned have, but they haven’t, it’s

There’s a bunch of EV kits appearing for classic vehicles. It’s looking like if you want an electric vehicle without non of the other nonsense that comes with new vehicles the conversion kits will be the way to go.

Even 10-15 years ago I was at a small Thoughtworks event where Martin Fowler was speaking and back then he was using the term “Water-Scrum-Fall” saying most Agile projects he’s seen are waterfall projects wrapped in to two week sprints. At

Yes. You are not invested at two months in. If you are not enjoying it it’s better to leave early if you can rather than suffering hoping it gets better. Follow your senses, two months in should be the honey moon period so it is a bad sign

Ok, it makes scaling technically easy with horizontal scaling for the web tier, ignoring the DB. In practice it makes scaling hard for financial reasons if you require 128MB+ per request. A 32GB server will struggle with more than 256 concu

> it's stateless by design (much easier to scale) I noticed being stateless made it difficult to scale for any complex app. It’s been 7-10 years since I used it but Drupal used 60-128MB+ plus per request. As it was stateless it had

I like Dhall for what it gives you with type safer etc but the compile times are extremely slow on a large project and type signatures can get real long/hard. It is bit of a Dhall monolith though ;)

It’s near impossible to buy a new car that doesn’t have some “smart” feature. Sadly electric is synonymous with “smart” features so it’s only going to get worse. Things like ABS, radar controlled cruise control for distance, blind spot mirr

Apache Spark can use Kubernetes as a scheduler out the box. I don’t know if op is using Spark. A lot of data tools are starting to target Kubernetes directly as a runtime so using them with GKE/EKS is a bit simpler as it’s officially s

Isn’t Apache Arrow an in memory format that the various DataFrame libraries can standardise on to interact with each other? inter-process communication (IPC)? My understanding is your raw data on disk is still a format such as Parquet, but

You want to search for “DataFrame” libraries. Another commenter mentioned Spark, Panda’s is another popular one, not used it but think it’s lighter weight where Spark is more for large distributed computation even though can run locally. Th

You don’t need a VM for static sites. As others have said, you can just drop it in S3. The other alternative is Cloudflare pages. It’s cheaper than s3 with a generous free tier. I find it less hassle than uploading to s3. Git commit, git p
