In the article, yes. Look at the other comment threads in this discussion though: they touch upon many other languages.

No. The very first complaint is that if you don't know what is being used or not, you cannot tell whether a new "import" will add _another_ cross-module dependency that did not yet exist. As I already mentioned in another com

I don't think the article talks about unused dependencies anywhere, does it?

> This is not true for Go, for example. Import statements absolutely do solve this problem in Go. I rarely need to ever look at module files which are in some ways a byproduct of the import statements. Go imports still work at the Go pac

I have worked with ProjectReference before. How is it different from expressing a cross-module dependency in a Bazel BUILD file? But as I already said in two other comments in this discussion, ProjectReference would be equivalent to what I&

Please elaborate on what those "some stock standard static analysis tools" are.

If you work on a well-modularized codebase, with small and individual Go modules, or Rust crates or NPM packages or whatever you call them... you do not live in an alternate reality. You are doing essentially the same as I was describing be

The problem is that anything that's _apparent_ and not _enforced_ will be messed up over time. Maybe not in a project with few people where everyone is an expert on how "things are supposed to be", but it will inevitably happ

You can configure branch protections in GitHub to rebase during PR merges and enforce a linear history.

I recently got an Apple Watch for my kids and… OMG the setup process was painful. So. Many. Questions. I couldn’t believe it and I could tell when the whole ordeal was going to end.

Same here. I removed Disqus a while back due to how obnoxious it became. Then, I built my own commenting platform and, while it was a fun thing to do... I think it's worthless. People don't comment on blogs anymore, and when they

Right, so you need to end up creating a container to package the glibc with the binary. Which is not very different from having sysroots. But what about any tools compiled from source and used during the build? Those can also suffer from th

by jmmv 1y ago
You need that glibc on the target system, and glibc doesn’t like static linking. How do you ship the built binary?
76.
by jmmv 1y ago
Because those Bazel toolchains don’t come with a glibc? How could they?

Bazel is complex, yes, and in my opinion not suitable for small, one language projects. But I’ve seen many builds, outside of FAANG, that are too slow and that also break frequently after a simple “git pull”. Which other systems promise t

The article goes through an unbelievably amount of fluff to just say that. Thanks for confirming my own read.

Hey, thanks for sharing! I’ll add that the project page is at https://www.endbasic.dev/endbox.html and that the disk images are now available for download. Have fun!

The content in the article is good and important. That said, I don’t find it “practical” enough so… I’ll link to my own tips on preparing and giving presentations ;-) https://jmmv.dev/2020/07/presentation-tips.html

Hah, same. I recently started getting many more back to back meetings than usual and, by lunchtime, I had a headache most days. It took me a while to realize that, while I’m at my desk, I keep drinking from the huge water bottle that I keep

I’ve seen a ton of this “#define private public” in a previous team that was forced to write unit tests in a rush due to the whims of leadership. It hurt to see, and the resulting white box tests were useless.

Ah yes, the first version does indeed sound DOS-like. The second one diverges quite a bit though. Fun project indeed.

by jmmv 1y ago
I don’t understand: what makes this “DOS-like”? Not even the command names match DOS, except for dir and cls, and the architecture and feature set are completely different.
