Yep. Someone is going to get the money, I’d like it to be the employees.

I’m replacing all the ecosmart bulbs with crees. The normal 60w/100w equivalents have been fine so far, but I have some 7500 lumen Cree ED37s that are trash, replaced 3 already out of ~7. Not sure what the deal is. Maybe my power at

Ahh right, Los Angeles. I remember now. Should have called the series “half way up”

May I recommend “long way up” as well (although they also took a boat). They travel from Ushuaia to Canada, and talked about the Darién Gap, I don’t recall how in depth.

I'm with you. I really despise web based apps and I really loved having a native app experience with usenet. Google groups was a UX regression and I really would just love to have a native news reader again.

Yeah, but you're still relying on the programmer to do it correctly which is nothing but false hope.

Then it would seem that it's required for the compiler to make sure you're consuming the return values (happy and sad) correctly by having the compiler enforce access to them, which go completely punts.

I mean, maybe - but there's a lot of examples of things being as popular as they are because google did them - gRPC, Protobuf, Kubernetes, Chromium. None of these things were technically bankrupt (including Go), but their adoption curv

I feel like a lot, if not all, has to do with the Google backing. Back when Go was announced, the company had _a lot_ of goodwill, and were envied by anyone doing software engineering. So, pretty much anything they did had an immediate fo

For sure - I would like to see non-competes banned outright, of course. I was just replying to OP for implying that a worker should get a reduced (i.e. proportional) payout for being denied employment at a competitor. The "losing&quot

For sure - we have some networks that when a host netboots it always goes to something like http://netboot.xyz with serial console by default. My favorite is some vendors using COM1 and some using COM2 so you have no idea which

I've personally been involved in decisions like that, as well. If you're throwing stuff into a datacenter and the BMC doesn't work right[1], the hardware is basically a brick. Vendors should be blackballed for their incompe

Datacenter / Cloud Service hardware is a race to the bottom, we want simplicity and ability to work with off-the-shelf and widely available tools (Redfish (cURL), IPMI (freeipmi, openipmi, ipmitool)) so we can integrate these things in

It’s not just about performance. It’s the maintainability and correctness that its amazing type system gives you. Refactoring and maintaining code is so much easier when the compiler tells you when you missed something.

Which is exactly the situation you never, ever want a server in. So it’s actually worse than a “crash” Me and my team removed swap on tens of thousands of machines cause we were sick of dealing with this. We wanted the machines to fail ha

"overlooked" Unfortunately I'm too cynical to think that something that obvious would be merely overlooked (rather than intentionally left out). If it's an incremental step forward, I'll take it anyway.

I assume we should take 'ultra wealthy' as 'billionaire' in this context. We're not talking about the people that retire with < $10m or even $50m. We're talking about these people that have extracted billio

Sounds like dealing with private insurance, as well. With the added benefit of getting bankrupted, even if insured.

I don't disagree, but: > Some(null) is not a valid result. It is a valid result. Null pointer and Option::None are still different things, is all.
