Its hit or miss for me. This week I was googling how to use libarchive and the AI generated responses at the top of each query were either incorrect or hallucinations of methods that don’t exist. I don’t mind playing with AI to help scratch

I still want to let the author have the final say on if they decide to accept or reject the change, or modify it further. Editing the branch directly might cause some rebasing/merge conflicts if they’re addressing other peoples comment

I think the point they’re getting at, is that there are typically a lot of delta states in between pre-upgrade and post-upgrade states when using package managers. With immutable distros, the upgrade becomes more of an atomic operation than

Its called Raku now, as the language differences in the experimental Perl 6 were enough to warrent it being spun off as a separate project. Perl 5 is still getting updates for quality of life improvements

FastAPI uses uvicorn which is ASGI, but you can choose to implement endpoints as either async or sync. I have implemented servers using both styles. Very pleasant to work with, and everything is type hinted, which is a must for me in any se

There are some valid cases where extends really can help, and IMO the language would feel limited without it. Maybe if the language designers had their time back they could have taken an approach like Golang with nested structs and syntacti

The common toolkits today (spring boot, google guice, etc) are much more focused on composition over inheritance, by injecting arguments and implementing pure interfaces rather than extending base classes. Older legacy Java frameworks and b

I care less about the length of the code, and more-so about the cognitive load. As the business logic grows, and the lines of code increases, the assignment of variables tend to get further and further away from their usage. What was once s

When I was in school, I interned at a company that specializes in communication systems used to send data over these submarine cables. There is a huge market in terminal stations that send and receive over these cables. The terminal station

Depends how it's implemented. It seems very similar to Apache Airflow in API, and similar to the many Argo Workflows Python wrappers. This pattern when implemented with context vars in the context managers is a pretty nice way to reduc

A lot of languages have no boolean primitive to begin with. Often in older languages, the values for `true` and `false` are aliases for `0` and `1` respectively. Perl and earlier versions of C, Python, and JavaScript are notable. Perl is pr

Totally agree. There used to be a commercial that would play on Canadian TV stations. It showed the view of a river, once with calm and tranquil sounds and then played again with ominous sounds like from a horror movie. When you are present

moto server for testing S3 is pretty great. It’s about the same experience as using a minio container to run integration tests against. I use this, and testing.postgresql for unit testing my api servers with barely any mocks used at all.

I've found that when mixing the two types of routes, it can be quite easy to accidentally introduce blocking paths which freeze up the main event loop, especially if mixing async dependencies with sync ones. When a route is async, it g

A few months ago, my girlfriend and I missed a comedy show because we showed up on the wrong day. The ticket said Saturday 12:15am, which apparently meant Sunday 12:15am, as part of the Saturday lineup. Still feel stupid about that one.

There's also a command argument that can be provided in the authorized keys setup, which can force connections with a particular key to hit an entry-point application.
