A few of the things I hate about ML syntax: * Infix semicolons instead of paired delimiters to denote code blocks. These cause shift-reduce errors and make indentation unintuitive. * Implicit currying turning what should be obvious argument

"can't be copyrighted" may be true in the ideal, but there's plenty of haziness around the edges. The particular coloring of each type of dragon is mechanically unimportant, but is a nice mnemonic for the type of breath

I find 5 least consistent because there are now two competing ways to define an unnested block: the normal way, and the `@nest { & { ... } }` way. Why would anyone do the second way, you ask? Because that rule used to have a nested rule

> If it’s possible to cause unhappiness, surely it’s possible to cause happiness, too? This isn't a reasonable conclusion. It's easy to make someone unhappy by denying them basic human needs: food, comfort, entertainment, secur

And that's great until you have three-ish "lowest-level" product teams and they're all managing not only their own production systems, but their own deployments and testing pipelines and monitoring stacks and secrets man

The logging utilities are just a frontend to a bunch of supported logging/tracing providers, many but not all of which accept plain text. So yes, it was technically a separate system (Honeycomb) doing the rejection, but one that was bl

It's the SDK for Fastly's edge computing service, so not something you're likely to run into without getting paid for it. And no, still has the brokenness, still has the internal comment warning their own engineers not to do

While serde is the de facto standard for JSON in Rust, it's not actually in the standard library, so there's no one true "JSON document" type for the logger to accept. Anyway, the point of the JSON serializer taking a wr

The point isn't that their infrastructure is more reliable than yours, but that it's decoupled from yours. If you run your monitoring on the same infra as production, it's liable to go down when production does, i.e. just whe

Deno is a JS runtime like Node, so if that's not your thing then yeah, this isn't for you.

That is great signal for the candidate, though. If a company is putting all of their decision-making power into the hands of douchebros, it's best to make that clear in the interview process so that talented candidates can stay away.

Even Go gave up and switched to using libc for OpenBSD[1]. You can use syscalls on Linux because Linux, lacking a blessed libc implementation, guarantees stability of syscalls as an interface. The BSDs, afaik, do not, so circumventing libc

I like Crystal, but it doesn't support the last three value propositions: it supports fewer platforms than Rust (in particular, no Windows outside of WSL) and has less community support/enthusiasm. It also has an obligate runtime,

For the record, the post you are responding to (and many others sharing similar criticism) was made before I changed "no value" to "no market value" (this edit is called out in a footnote).

You're not off base. I have no economic credentials and my discussion of the subject was simplistic. I appreciate your analysis. The point I was trying to make wasn't that dollars shouldn't be used to measure value, but that

by ezrast 5y ago
I'm sorry for being frustrating! This criticism is valid, and I've edited the article to clarify that I meant market value. I hope that makes it less nonsensical.

For what it's worth, I find this feedback useful, despite the downvotes it garnered. I think it's important not to misrepresent my biases when I write, and doing that even-handedly can be difficult, so if it's not landing wit

There are generic distributed consensus algorithms out there. The most famous are Paxos and Raft. In theory, you can jam those on top of any system you like, as long as it has well-defined state transitions. Making it fast - or usable at al
