I've had this experience with Ally bank. Their SMS-only 2FA, lack of international wire transfers, and compete failure to work with Plaid drive me insane, but I'm still using them because I get a kind, helpful human every time I

Agreed, and we're actually trying to bridge this gap at our company Kurtosis! Docker is great for doing dev - fine-grained control over the container, strong predictability guarantees, fast, and relatively lightweight (in comparison wi

As an American moving to SP, this was one of the most striking things when I first arrived by air. It's buildings, as far as the eye can see, and it looks different somehow: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu&

That sounds like a fascinating journey that I'd love to read; have you written anything about it? I'm a born-and-raised software engineer (read: meat mecha mindset), but I recently became interested in dance when I moved to Brazil

Is there a bug with write_to_memory.py? (SPOILER BELOW) loop.py does 68 million operations per second, and the text below says "we know about the most we can expect from Python (100 million things/s)", but write_to_memory.py

Not nearly as cool as all the other stuff here, but still my favorite piece of tech for myself: IMO, Vim + Markdown is one of the best ways to take notes, brainstorm, or just explore ideas. However, I found the questions of "Where shou

There's a thing I saw on LessWrong a while ago where he says, "Before declaring a thing impossible, ask, 'Have you put 5 minutes on the clock and just brainstormed?'" In that spirit, here's me doing this about

Unpopular take: this is actually exciting to me. As development has continued, the 1P app seems to have gained in bugs. I've tried reporting these - I like 1P and the 1P team seems to care about delivering a quality product - but using

I have exactly the same. Unlike some friends, I don't seem to get a negative feedback loop to focusing. When I do it, I want more of it - to the detriment of showering, sleep, food, romance, etc. I really like the modelling of "if

We're trying to do something very similar to what the OP proposes at our current company (Kurtosis), and we explored YAML, Jsonnet, Dhall, CUE, and general-purpose languages and eventually settled on Starlark: https://docs.k

We tried out struct-based enums like this for a while and they're definitely better than the vanilla version, but they still have the problem of "how do you iterate over all the values?" and "how do you create an enum va

That's a fair concern: if everything is strict, then there's no option to incrementally roll out a new value. Maybe a proper enum type could always have an `Unknown` value, which would allow for the leniency while still forcing th

Yep, agreed. Maybe a new hypothetical `exhaustiveswitch` keyword could be added that would be backwards compatible, but it doesn't seem very Go-like to have such similar functionality as separate keywords.

As amw-zero pointed out though, a user could accidentally create the int type and it would only fail if you have runtime checking (which requires you to build it, either via a custom enum constructor that returns `error` or an `IsValid` fun

I'd add one more to this list: proper enum types. We use enums heavily to force devs who use our code into good choices, but the options are currently: 1) Use int-type enums with iota: no human-readable error values, no compile-time gu
