HashiCorp has in general been fairly quick to adopt young/young -ish languages as they gain popularity (looking at Go and Rust) so it seems plausible - I'm curious as well

Honestly it's pretty clear from your weirdly large number of negative comments on here that you've never taken a serious look at using the language for a real project. You just have some weird axe to grind with it. That's co

Assuming those instances all need shared access to that storage, you would have to build some sort of shared storage on top of the ZFS solution. This might mean NFS shares, or a relational database, etc, depending on the nature of the shar

Hell, I bet the number of people who have even had a lawsuit successfully filed for advice on the Internet is very very small. A potential plaintiff would need contact info, for starters...

I wouldn't actually characterize "Wordle in Rust", "xyz in Go", etc for the sake of learning a language as "rewrites for the sake of rewrites", though - I would characterize them as rewrites for the sake o

Honestly it was really great until it wasn't. I was there for almost ten years. The pay left a bit to be desired, but for the most part, everything else was so awesome that it was cool. Then after some management changes, everything

That's not really consistent with my experience in the Rust community at all. Memes aside, rewrites for the sake of rewrites are typically discouraged. When language comparisons are made, they tend to clearly highlight objective and

At my previous job, we used reiserfs. We generally referred to it internally as murderfs. Not that I think that's good rebranding, but it did amuse us.

For me, it's mostly about being able to stream it over a poor quality 4G connection in a speeding car/train. I could care less about the storage; I've got over half of a 120TB array unused, but halving the bandwidth requirem

Until getting the ? operator in Rust, I always thought I really liked exceptions. After all, what was the alternative? `if err != nil { return nil, err }` everywhere just to propagate errors up and probably ultimately have the process pan

The software suite is part of the work environment, _especially_ in a remote world. If a work environment is obviously going to make me miserable, and I'm able to identify that _before I even start_, I'm not going to take that jo

What were you doing with your headphone cables? I've been using the same one with my current pair since I bought them three years ago. Prior to switching to cans, I used the same set of cheap wired earbuds for five years - and they&#

Exactly right, and that's why we have regulations. Even in a situation where _nobody_ wants to e.g. dump all their waste in the river, if you're allowed to do it, it's essentially mandatory to do it if you want to compete.

It sounds like you're referring to exceptions. While I would take exceptions over the stringly-typed nightmare that is Go errors, you should know that there are far better error handling schemes out there.

It took me seven years to cancel Planet Fitness after I moved a hundred miles away. Letter after letter, nothing...finally made a trip back home one day and had time to stop and deal with it. Fuck gyms. I can run on the sidewalk for free.

It's not entirely accurate to say that Vitess "doesn't have" foreign keys. It doesn't enforce FK constraints cross-shard, but it can use FKs to group referential data together within a shard, and the MySQL backing

The Rust community is by a wide margin the most welcoming and positive Internet community I've personally seen. In no small part because they don't make comments like this one.

It was not intentional, thanks for asking...very unfortunate typo ;) Go doesn't give you control over inline vs indirect allocation, instead relying on escape analysis, which is notoriously finicky. Seemingly unrelated changes, along
