I let Firefox upgrade itself when .75 was and after a restart, I didn't notice a single ux change. What on earth are you people talking about?

The need for documentation for a library is not linked to the amount of code it has. In fact, it’s rather sad that the programmer didn’t bother to document such a small thing. It most certainly wouldn’t have been a big task.

Nim is older than Kotlin, so your question is kinda backwards. But also: 1. no JVM (Kotlin Native isn’t considered a stable thing, or is it?), 2. subjectively nicer language, 3. An optional non-GC runtime upcoming (already in there as beta)

When the workers lose their jobs, a portion of them will start new businesses, and some of them will succeed, creating the next uptrend. That is, unless they're starving and homeless. The absolutely worst mistake to do is to pay suppor

The only way my car will have a big screen on the dashboard is if it's an option to 100% ignore oit while driving.

Hashicorp tools are quite solid, and give you a lot for free. Ansible can automate host-level changes in places where hashicorp cannot reach. There shouldn't be many such places. Alternatively, if you have the option of choosing the wh

The Rust channels on Matrix and oftc irc are really helpful as well :) For drills, I recommend exercism.io in practice mode (mentor/student ratio is pretty bad). After working on your own solution for a while, then checking how the oth

How did you manage to read what I wrote to mean I was blaming Trump for COVID-19? I am blaming him for taking Obama's legacy of stability and growth and destroying it for short-term profit. It would be a tragedy if he did not have to

I felt slight nausea and unexplainable deep irritation at reading this. Scala is a disgusting mess compared to Rust in just about every way I can think of. Please for the love of everything good, consider at least Kotlin.

Sure, but the effects of coffee against the digestive system are entirely different from tea. That supposedly has some psychological effects.

Someone oughta research the differences between coffee and other caffeinated drinks. My experience says that there are huge differences there.

Having an industry veteran like Itamar weigh on a pointless complexity that everyone seems to be in love with right now? Extremely valuable. Possibly saves peoples' lives, financially speaking. Old IT folks are like explosives experts:

If you grow old and stay in this business, you'll be doing a lot of that too, I promise you.

Aren't those rather trivial to do if you didn't make the mistake of choosing a microservice architecture?

Another one to bite the dust.

Isn't that rather easy to block? Who would pay more than the public pricing info says?

When I left Linux for Mac a few years ago, the Wayland situation was about as you describe it. Cannot say I'm surprised.

Socialism does not mean that your standard of living is maintained if you lose your job. It mostly just means that you don't starve or that you don't have to live on the streets.

Oh, it'll be around, that's for sure. Like Cobol.

Kubernetes is the thing everyone will be moving away from in the next 5 years because it was too complicated for their purposes. The unfortunate ones that don't manage to move from it will be maintaining 5 year old kubernetes installat

Kubernetes beat Mesos/Marathon, which is written on Scala. I don't think that's just a coincidence.

Also, go is an elitist language as well, in its own way. Its creators and many of the first proponets were big Unix/C/Bell Labs names. Quite opinionated people.

I agree that calling a very successful language "garbage" is a childish move. I also think that we shouldn't tie our egos to the tools we are using. Nothing good arises from that.

Has it, though? I've heard it said that k8s codebase is not very go-like.

Giving yet another solid reason to not work there. Job interviews are not (supposed to be) mind games.

Nope. Catalina from the first release on 4 macs, all work fine. Also at work, hundreds of upgrades went through with no problems. Apple and any hint of problems seem to be clickbait fodder these days. Almost seems like a coordinated pr effo

You're comparing a software that runs locally to a service that runs mostly through the network. A fairer comparison to vscode would be emacs. Suboptimal code might have something to do with it as well, though.
