There's no need to be creative about it. I never try to (re-)invent the wheel myself. Once I'm done with #1 on the list I posted, I evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the language and pick something that probably already exi

I've been eyeing Fuchsia for some time now and wanting to give it a spin but I've been holding back just to make sure it doesn't get abandoned(despite having a well maintained fork already). Real shame they pulled the plug on

Though those are good points, there are a few things to mention: once you know a few programming languages, jumping into a new one becomes relatively easy. That said, there are a few traps here and there(something I've also noticed whe

I touched this subject in another discussion a few days ago briefly. Here is what I've learned over the years: People keep repeating that you should work on ideas that solve problems that you have yourself. Now given some time on your

Arguably yes, but open up github and check the scale of the largest go and rust projects. They are universes apart: * kubernets - 2.5k contributors, 66.5k stars, 3.2k forks, 91k commits * cargo - 609 contributors, 5.6k stars, 1.1k forks, 9.

The comparison to Go is catastrophically unfair. Google is the main driver behind the development of go, while Rust is being developed by a tiny community within mozilla and a few volunteers.

Rust still on top. Real shame there are so few Rust jobs out there. I agree, the language is still changing way too much but that is to be expected from a relatively new language. A lot of polishing has been done and imo, it's a produc

I never looked deep into this but I remember that back in the day there was the "View original image" link in image search and I think they got rid of it because of some EU directive that stated that they can't link an image

There is no correlation between being an idiot and being rich. Being rich is (in most cases) the ability to... Sell yourself, for the lack of a better expression. And smart people commonly can't sell themselves or their products becaus

For years on I kept saying that Java is the worst language ever because of the tons of unnecessary boilerplate and it's "you're doing it my way or you are not doing it" approach. But over the last year I've come to

openSUSE "intermediate"? Huh? I've been using openSUSE for the past ~5 years. Sure enough, the repos are not as rich as the popular distros but everything always works out of the box, including proprietary software(which can

I never really paid attention to consoles (not a gamer in any way) but the ps5 sounds impressive. Shame Sony have a very Apple-like approach to their products and lock everything up. If they bundled up that hardware with linux support, sale

Well that's annoying... I'm not a heavy termux user, but it's been extremely useful in some situations - ssh proxy over abd in very restricted networks mainly.

Hah, my immediate thought was "no, we don't", then I saw the 15-20 Stephen King books on my shelf... Well, simple answer is they are enjoyable and they easily grab and hold your attention.

I feel you as far as centralization is concerned. Personally I've been meaning to start writing for some time now but I keep kicking the can down the road for multiple reasons. Problem 1: Lack of time, other more important things that

Full disclosure: I have only briefly fiddled with unikernels. And in all honesty, I think there could be a good real life application for them. But the biggest problems I see is that even though they have been around for a while, building t

Poor admins and moderators... I genuinely never understood what the fuss is about. Hear me out here. I spent a good amount of time of my life living abroad. Almost 6 years to be exact. And this was during a time when commenting stuff online

This is life 101 advice for everyone, I think. I've turned down plenty of people on interviews because of this. The tests I create always contain one or two questions I doubt anyone would ever answer. And that's the reason I alway

I'm a developer and given the things I've seen users do, calling most users stupid would be a gross offense towards stupid people. It is precisely because I know how twisted and convoluted a system could be that I'm incredibl

I disagree. Your argument is the theoretical one, while mine is the practical. As I said, people do not know what cookies are and even if they did, everyone who has done analysis on user behavior knows that none of that makes a difference.

While the cookie initiative has a good intention, I really don't think it's actually useful. Large amounts of the population(willing to bet north of 99%) have absolutely 0 clue what cookies are in the context of the web or what th

I think this has more to do with your target audience. The books in question are aimed at an audience which overall has a really good purchasing power. To many people 15 euros is an expensive book but looking at my tech books shelf, and see

This. I honestly love the f-string syntax but the fact that there is a clear separation is what makes them appealing - I find it far more convenient to have f"{v1}, {v2}, ... {vN}" vs "{v1}, {v2}, ... {vN}".format(v1, v2

Agreed. They need to figure out how to put an x86 chip in there to make them truly useful. Also 700 bucks is a bit steep for a raspberry pi with a low powered gpu, just saying...
