how would you see it as an advantage? How would I see presenting myself as a trustworthy employee who won't pull the wool over your eyes? Pretty favourably tbh.

Agreed. Plus: Sometimes practicality has to win out over idealism We're engineering software, not writing constitutions. Practicality always comes first IMHO.

Minor quibble: a heat engine converts heat to mechanical energy. So is a heat engine with no moving parts a contradiction in terms?

Good article. This bit is interesting: The third downside is that, unless you can differentiate your product from what already exists, it’s going to be hard to find a foothold in the market. Given how many software products already exist,

A better description is that of garden landscaping. You have a reasonable idea of what you want to achieve, and it looks good on paper, but until you have actually walked through it, touched and felt it, you don't know whether it reall

As a rank amateur in the field but a pro s/w developer, this sounds like describing the world as FSMs rather than fundamental algorithms. How off-course am I?

This basically puts a REST/HTTP GET frontend on your messaging backend (Kafka, RabbitMQ, MQTT, etc). So whatever events you want to expose publicly can be done over plain HTTP. Having said that, IMO using SSE or websockets would be a b

I've been thinking about this a lot recently since this was posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30858311 Tldr; 67% of time spent on a project is maintenance, and 60% of time spent on existing code (ie when doi

I looked at Fresh a while back and it looked a fun and "easy" route into assembler. Do they still have the Mandelbrot sample? IIRC, the trick is to get the pre-assembler to generate a binary image of a Mandelbrot set. No actual ru

If your architecture contains Kafka, you can use Kafka ACLs to authorize access to any resource, not just Kafka ones. Based on a principal, a named resource (derived from, eg, a URL path) and the requested operation, the Kafka admin client

For backend frameworks, I'd look at Quarkus [1] or Micronaut [2]. Both are geared towards configuration, async processing and native compilation, along with a ton of options to integrate with external systems. For something a bit ligh

GCR is certainly very good. Note that there are quite a few good alternatives too: Fly.io - https://fly.io/ (gives you a Postgres DB too) Digital Ocean App Platform - https://www.digitalocean.com/products&#x

Are you referring to "Git the standard format" or "Git the CLI" ? If the former, then yes I agree. If the latter, then definitely not, and I appreciate tools like Fossil & Mercurial that offer alternatives.

Many congrats on the launch. Further, we are working on new complementary road tech that can enhance and add to the carbon potential from our solution. This includes ... capturing and dissemination of energy captured by the roads. I'

Hmm. Very nice, but if those changes aren't ported back to OpenJDK, that's locking you into Amazon in a very un-Java-ry way.

You've just done the same. The article is referring to Oracle JDK. OP was referring to Open JDK.

I see keyword arguments as slightly different though. The keyword is like the parameter name. The value is still a plain integer and (theoretically) susceptible to being given the wrong integer. In contrast, unit types allow for hard checki

A function might take multiple integer arguments, each in different units. Separate types for each unit guarantees you won't pass the wrong integer into the wrong argument. Eg func transferRegularly(dollars(10000), days(30)) Me

I believe every developer needs to spend regular time in a customer-facing support role (if possible). They will learn much more clearly how difficult (or less likely easy) their product is to use.
