There is also a company called SourceGraph which parses the AST of the various languages and lets you get CLion-like features with regex search. https://about.sourcegraph.com/

If you decouple you build from your packaging you can also use from-scratch containers. You can also use distroless' static image [0] to get a posix-y environment with as little space as possible. Total image size of the static image i

> required to reach feature parity I think most people don't need full feature parity. That's why a lot of these techs take off. They need something that is easier to understand. Similar with kubernetes, there's like 5 per

Needing to tie into a specific API (like codesearch) couples you to the specific storage backend (Github). If you build your software to operate on a POSIX-y file system, you can support anything that shows up as a file system. For example:

That works well for small repos or a few repos but if you want to find all cc files, at all release branch's, in your entire company and check for some exploit it is helpful to have a VFS. Makes it so you could also support N SCMs thro

There are quite a few local credit unions that I've heard good things about. Some are run in a way that all the profits are equally divided by the account holders (after expenses like comp for the employees). Some also offer credit car

I'd love a replacement shell with threaded screw holes so that, when the joysticks eventually drift / battery starts to die, I can feel safe opening/replacing things.

It would be great if you could plug in other configuration frontends. I'd love to be able to just define a proto and have this manage database schemas for me.

Have you thought of using something like container snapshots to build the full dep tree of things off shared container images? For example: you build ncurses, snapshot the layer it produces, then use that to build nano, vi, etc.

In addition: you can use overlayfs + tmpfs to run the same build with multiple build args without using any extra memory. I had an experiment I was working on to run tests for mutation testing that I want to open source at some point that u

IANAL but I think HIPAA: 1. Only applies to covered entities. 2. Data can be given to another covered entity as long as certain rules are followed. Very easy to have a web of people giving each other data because of this.

As a manager you need to help set up a culture where showing unfinished work is ok. On my current team I will often make a quick prototype and ask our TL "Can you take a look to see if this is a completely off base approach? This code

The nice part of the `.bin` format is you don't need to do anything to support multiple files or cross deps. The build system packages all of the files/messages/services into a single file for you to load.

Are you planning on supporting importing the proto .bin format that stores file descriptors? This is the output of the proto compiler and would make it easier to provide a full transitive closure of deps for people who have complex build ph

Rather than 1x cluster with 4k nodes it might be better to use 4x clusters with 1k nodes. You've now lowered the blast radius of any change to the apiserver and at PayPal scale you'll already be dealing with multi region which wou

It might sound easy but that would be a critical component of such a rewrite. Python's standard library is implemented using the same API so much of that would need to be rewritten. You then have the risk of introducing bugs, etc. This

From a language design perspective I don't think there's much in the way of making up this ground. The hard part is not breaking any existing modules written in C/C++/Rust/etc that depend on the cpython ABI (memory

I think this is a great example of where build systems, that understand the need for testing, can help out. In a build system I use quite often (Bazel) you can express this as an `sh_test()` [0] which provides documentation about what you&#

This isn't a "know more" or "know less" than me thing. This is being-a-human thing. I've never written a large amount of C++ without a similar mistake creeping in. Humans make mistakes.
