Arrays and tuples are very different. Arrays are homogeneous structures, all entries have the same type. Tuples are heterogeneous, so entries can have different types.

Diesel is nowhere near being able to fully map SQL to rust. It's ok for relatively simple queries that are typical for OLTP applications. Anything beyond that and you're going to run into trouble. If you want to do something more

You also have to pay employer contributions to insurance and you don’t make money, if you don’t have a contract, are sick or on vacation. So you also have to make at least 150k+ to make up for that. If you were to make significantly less th

At least in Germany the employers pay about half of mandatory social insurances such as healthcare, unemployment, pension etc. This is usually not considered when people talk about pre-tax salaries. Ultimately though that’s just accounting,

I’m a senior engineer at a large Berlin company and I make 82k. We have a program to share salaries between employees internally, based on that and conversations with my lead I understand that I’m not at the top of the salary band. You can

I admit that this is to some extent memory management that you have to think about. However especially when it comes to concurrency, this is stuff you have to think about in any language. The difference is just in when you get the error and

You manage memory in Rust about as manually as you manage memory in Python, at least in normal application code. If you do very low level stuff, you might think about that a bit more but then you have to in any case.

It's indeed used for phonetic distinctness. The German word for 2 is "zwei", which is relatively close to and even rhymes with the word for 3 "drei". "Zwo" is used to make it easier to distinguish the two

It’s interesting you mention Walmart. Walmart has failed spectacularly in trying to enter the German market. Their treatment of employees probably was a factor but probably not the most important one though.

Indeed, it's fascinating to watch. Reputation matters for a bank and they are in the process of completely destroying it. Quite frankly I doubt it's possible to recover from that without removing the founders (currently acting as

Postgres allows you to create an index on keys within a JSONB column[0]. It may be the case that Django doesn't offer support for this but I would expect you can probably get around that with raw SQL. [0]: https://www.postgr

Nobody is using every AGPL project and there aren't that many AGPL projects to begin with. The problem is not just the risk associated with AGPL, it's also that the benefit is actually quite small. I think most companies would be

You could have a mechanism to grant yourself temporary write access on an as-needed basis. At Zalando everyone has read access (except to secrets). You can request write access with a command line tool another employee can then approve it.

The bar for "good enough" can of course be quite high. If you're hiring people at the very top or with rare skillsets, like building browser engines, building databases or people whose skill is at author/contributor leve

You only need to fill a position with a person that is good enough. If you reject someone who would have been a good fit but still hire someone good eventually, that’s ok. A bad hire is not fun, not for HR, not for the hiring manager, not f

Judges in Germany generally aren’t elected. The few that are cannot be re-elected and have fairly long terms. The voting population in this case would consist of politicians in the legislative branch.

If you are running Kubernetes, happen to be a fairly large organization and use microservices, you probably have many databases. Hundreds of them. Most of them are going to be small, using few resources of any kind. In that context running

Your database is realistically postgres or mysql and can really only run as many queries in parallel as you have cores. You can run more queries concurrently but then the database just switches between those, which usually means worse laten

Nothing about how Rust handles deallocation is magical in any way. It's also definitely a zero-cost abstraction as I can see because the manual solution that's equivalent to get_len1() would be to essentially call free() on things

While I like SQLAlchemy a lot, it has to be said that it leaks like a sieve. Personally I think the problem is not that ORMs are leaky abstractions, it's that they often pretend not to be. SQLAlchemy just leaks unapologetically, if you

The German constitution explicitly distinguishes between humans and citizens. So no, this is not a big task. It’s not a task at all.

No, it isn't but I don't see anyone making the claim that Rust is a faithful model of the hardware. That's quite common take on C though, which is not that wrong, if you go back in history far enough. It's quite wrong to

In Germany childcare costs vary a lot and depend on your income, so it's hard to say what somebody would pay for that. However you'd definitely pay less than 400/month. If you're paying more than 200/month, you got

50k per year pre tax in Germany, would end up being 30k after taxes. If you're married, you'd get substantial tax benefits and there are also benefits, if you have children.

It seems to me that the problems that trains and rail infrastructure is facing are: bureaucracy, politics and an increasing inability to execute on infrastructure projects on time/budget by governments. To the extent cost is a a factor
