No, but the alternative in some places is no reasoning model. Just like people don't want old cell phones / new phones with old chips - but often that's all that is affordable in some places. If we can get something working,

I actually disagree with all of these points and I write Java at work. Memory safety isn't possible in Java (unlike Rust). Tooling: they all have debuggers and observability tooling (pprof, pprof-rs, etc..). Rust even has zed now. Libr

I would argue your comparison is itself a fallacy of equivalency. There are certain things in nature you cannot (and should not) consume (cooked or uncooked). Certain foods like milk are the most basic/only source of nutrients for mamm

To answer one of your questions directly, it's the only thing that works for young mammals, it's got to have some unique mixture in it by that fact alone. However, we're not all babies. I think lots of other sources can be ju

Sure, but you have to admit that it's still impossible to know if the final product is equally the same as the unadulterated version right? If it was possible to have a perfect food (or drink) that was totally identical to the theoreti

Yes, but you understand the concept right? Some people are less worried about sudden death than degraded long-term performance. There is a reason bodybuilders look at what type of protein they're eating instead of just getting the chea

Of course not, I'm just trying to explain why someone would take on the risks of non-pasteurized or blanched foods. However, even gut bacteria isn't a true/false question. It's a spectrum with a range of possible values.

Think about it, you're heating the milk up enough to kill the bacteria right? That's what I'm talking about. It's funny because when people are instructed by their doctors to eat yogurt to get beneficial bacteria back in

Sometimes, people aware of one set of risks are not always aware of the others. Drinking raw milk absolutely cares a certain set of risks... but drinking pasteurized does as well. People who are confused about why one group chooses a differ

I appreciate the detailed answer, thanks. However, It feels like $a->foo vs $a->foo() is a personal preference that hides the fact you're doing work behind the scenes. Then again, I'm not a fan of code that does magical thin

I'm curious, why do you like getters and setters? I know the textbook answer is so that every single possible property can become some mutable chain of events so you can swap names or side-effects without the caller knowing, but I&#x27

I'm honestly not sure what the problem with "simple" is either. It's literally a single file with 80 lines of code. At this point the only thing easier is a linux one-liner to serve a file directory over HTTP. Like, has

That's my point: It's a net win for the actual people behind Sable.

by Xeoncross 2y ago
So Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, SonicWall, and Juniper Networks paid millions to Sable. Sable paid $225k to Cloudflare, and won't use them again against anyone. Sounds like they don't need to. Well played Sable. Enjoy your money.

It's often the change that happens with experience. Most developers join Go looking for their Laravel, Rails, Next.js, Spring framework. Because it's almost impossible to write something in those languages without a framework. In

As someone that writes Java and Python, I'm unsure what you're referring to here by "batteries" other than 3rd party packages. Even something as basic as JSON encoding requires an external package in Java.

Never having worked with Erlang, my mind is telling me this might be an alternative for https://github.com/temporalio (database-backed functions) or AWS Step functions.

> Zero dependencies This is something seldom attempted, but I congratulate you. Go is one of a few languages that really is batteries-included. Just about anything you could need is included in the stdlib.

Thankfully, others are more altruistic. I have benefited from many developers freely sharing their ideas in forums, code on github, and leanings on blogs. Sure Google has stolen it to build an empire that most are complicit with. Sure OpenA
