This is very much TIMTOWTDI. Larry Wall would be proud.

Bazel has been significantly faster than cmake/make on the codebases I've tried it on. It has a bunch of warts, but it has been a better framework to build on than anything else I've encountered. I'm probably biased as I

PGs On Lisp details these macros from common lisp. I'm unsure how old they are.

It would be interesting to do this for one of the open source Solaris distros and for plan9 to then compare the three.

War Games and Ferris Buelers Day Off were why I searched "how to hack" into excite.com a couple hours into getting my first internet capable home computer. I found ESR's "Hacker How-To" and tried to follow it with y

I had an interior office with a solid door, walls covered in whiteboards, excellent monitors, good hardware, and a fast net connection. If I needed to ask someone something, I could send an email. If it was urgent, I could knock on someone&

The only times I see this argued is from suits looking to treat programmers as a fungible resource. This is never a problem for companies looking to retain people. If your status quo is working programmers as long as you can without a raise

It's not my responsibility as a library author to protect users from themselves. If they have leaks because they refuse to use my API then so be it. If you don't want to use with, you're free to call __enter__() and __exit__(

Tool of choice? No. Only tool available? A few times, particularly in ramdisk rescue situations.

Only if no partial credit is offered, which is not how his exam[0] reads to me: As usual, answering any (sub)problem with “I don’t know” (and nothing else) is worth 25% partial credit. Yes, even for problem 1. Correct, comple

Speak for yourself. I'll take faster builds in exchange managing a cross compilation toolchain any day of the week.

I don't think I've ever wanted SQL embedded in my Java source over loading it as a resource. Loading it as a resource allows me to edit the SQL in a sql-aware text editor.

Reddit replacing all of Reddit for EU users with a page explaining how to contact their government officials is the only thing that will work. Users won't be bothered for anything less.

My book store sold stamps in college, as did the convenience mart across the street. I never really needed to go to the post office, but you can always buy stamps (and mail weirdly shaped things) at the post office directly.

I would never vote for a candidate I didn't believe in. If you want to remove qualified engineers from hiring decisions based on arbitrary metrics, I'd probably be looking for another job on the side.

I don't think I would not extend a job offer for lack of a docstring, especially given how trivial most of these functions are paired with their self-explanatory names. I'd actually rather a namespace docstring explaining intended

I've implemented the Map interface maybe a half a dozen times in my career in Java and many more in Clojure (using reify and friends). It's often very convient to offer a map interface to some remote service or data store as well

My favorite work site (outside of my home) was an interior office that I usually kept dark with the door closed. Time would fade away and I could focus on the problem at hand. I didn't keep a clock visible on my screen, and so sometime
