Yeah I've just installed it and seen eg. the autocompletion on ls isn't how I'm used to. I will keep playing around and watch for progress because I really like the idea. I especially see this being useful in my CI environmen

This is a very interesting project. I really like the combination of languages and the way you've implemented it. I already see some opportunities to use it.

This book has easily been one of the most influential on my career. Having excellent SQL skills has been my secret weapon for a while now.

I am in the same position. I also wish I'd gone to university, taken my education seriously, and done something other than CS (all easy to say in retrospect). There's still time :) There are plenty of careers out there that are op

Mongolia adopted Cyrillic during its early communist years which saw heavy influence from the USSR. They started adopting their traditional script in schools again a few years ago, but the older people didn't know how to read or write

I'm only at around 13 years of professional programming, but I went through a period of 4-5 years where I stopped enjoying it (actually, I hated it). What resolved it for me was pretty simple in the end: I joined a company where I real

After well over a decade of using vim and trying to use it as an IDE (which I did for a few years full time), I opted to use an actual IDE with a vim plugin instead. I currently use the Jetbrains tools which have an excellent vim plugin dev

Not to say there isn't nutritional benefits to wild wheat and carrots and whatever (I've no idea to be honest), but I don't think the nutritional value was at the front of their mind when our ancestors began understanding agr

This has less to do with agile and more to do with the company culture, processes, and probably the people involved. Agile isn't a cure to these problems, it's a tool used by people who "get it" to communicate effectivel

I've been using DDG for a few years and I find it superior to google. I used to often use the !g bang to google a result if I didn't find what I was after, but over time the results on DDG and google have ended up roughly on par.

I personally would solve this issue with a local module (very easy to set up, just a subfolder with a main.tf that defines the resources[0] then it's called as here[1]) with two input variables[2]: a required ami variable, and an optio

Good news! Many database systems support indexes on functions, including on user-defined functions. The only one I've used is Postgres[0] but apparently MySQL added support recently as well[1] [0] https://www.postgresql.org&

Yeah for sure the language definitely makes it easy to build something that won't last. I misunderstood your comment so sorry about that.

I have to be honest I do believe Node.js will be around for a long time. The improvements over the past few years have been vast thanks to the ever improving standards and all the major cloud companies are heavily invested. It has the world

Heh we obviously have very different groups of friends. Everyone I know complains about Insta and existing payment methods all the time. On top of the people complaining there are those the market hasn't appealed to yet. I'm a ver

You can configure it to output to S3 and the mechanism for that is easy to configure and has fault tolerance.

For every programmer like you there's ten more at places where I've been employed trying to claim they need big data tools for a few million (or in some cases a few hundred thousand) rows in mysql. I get why you could feel attacke

Another I've noticed is not reading the ticket. I've seen a lot of reviewers not take the time to look any deeper than the code at face value so the feedback they provide is low hanging fruit stuff. My favorite feedback is when so

I think it depends on your environment. I've been in situations where code styles have progressed and changed over the years, faster than the file does, so you end up with a hodgepodge of different styles.

With the article yesterday about the Trinet[1] I can see this optimization being used in the majority of HTTP traffic, even if it won't be used by a majority of companies/websites. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/

I think 'power' here sounds negative (probably not intentionally), but remember with power comes the ability to make meaningful change and have a real impact.

I won't be switching to Reason, it's a small greenfield project :) The security model of Mirage will really suit this small app and Reason has piqued my interest for being a little more productive with dev tools and stuff. Also be

Since Reason compiles to native Ocaml binaries I'm assuming there would be no problems using it with MirageOS? Google doesn't bring up any answers other than an older HN comment[1] suggesting support will come soon. https:/&
