I wasn't familiar with Serde's description of this so that was a good read, thanks. Although I still think this is a bad example of an externally tagged representation. In the Serde example they have the key as "Request"

Everything that ends up being useful was a shiny new thing once. Shiny new things get us excited about the future and motivated to build stuff because they give us hope of solving problems that aren't solved yet. It's worth pointi

Well I commend the Nginx team for trying something new and launching this, even though I'm not sure what I would use it for personally. Slightly tangental, but it always irks me when I see these kinds of responses in JSON: {

#2 feels like it would be easily destroyed if it got any traction by an incumbent offering something similar (Duolingo, Babbel etc). #1 seems to have a better moat and more novel value. Plus people are paying for it already, which is a huge

I do the same thing. The way I try and address this is by basically turning off my inhibitions on my first pass of anything. Literally just start spewing stuff, whether its code or writing a tweet or blog post, making a presentation, etc. T

I'm not disagreeing with you at all. If you value financial stability over taking a stand about things you might disagree with, then lying for survival is aligned with your values. Using the ideas I described above, this would be compl

That's the idea though, if your intentions are sound but you're not getting the reactions you expect, then you need to re-evaluate how you're acting. The important part is not to beat yourself up about it - bad reactions are

I see your point but I’d argue that if you feel bad about this it means your core value is actually financial stability over sticking to your principles at any cost, and in that case your actions and intentions didn’t align with what you tr

I think that would potentially help, but there's still ambiguity in the SSPL that might scare off some parties. But at least the SSPL would cover customers who aren't making modifications to the source code, but using the platform

Yes, I completely agree. Instead of being upset with outcomes (like how people react to me in interactions), there's three things I've been trying to instead focus on: Am I at peace with my core values? Do my intentions align with

As an anxious person with people-pleasing tendencies, something I've been trying to focus on is reframing the situation and removing fear entirely. For me, fundamentally the fear of social interactions comes from the fear I'm goin

I also commented this on their previous thread looking for input on licenses. I have no problem with monetising a managed service and preventing others from doing that on software you build, but disallowing ‘third parties’ is too broad. I w

It's a tough balance, but I'm glad to see your company trying to get this right up front rather than pulling the rug later. My only concern with Elastic V2 is the vagueness of providing a hosted service to 'third parties&#x27

It's arguably the first useful general purpose AI. Claiming it is not worth anything at all because it can't solve a problem that 99.999% of humans would not be able to solve is a pretty ridiculous definition of 'worth'.

The lesson here is just don't rely on sudo to give restricted permissions. I have been a Linux admin for 6 years and never had to do this, and pretty much every use case I've heard of has easily solved with a better method. If you

Nice, I didn't know there was a term for this. I completely agree. My favourite software is not just functional, it also is opinionated and expresses a philosophy on how to do something. Simply adding flexibility forever in a quest to

I'm also new to this field, but I think I can answer some of these: 1. They are learned during training, not sure about the second part. 2. There's two parts here: First, they are not context specific to the model that learned the

I have also followed a similar trajectory to you. My early 20's I wanted to do something 'great'. But my ambition was what Paul identified in this post as the type that precedes experience. As a result, I became restless, agi

Feedback is helpful, but this comment seems snide just because OPs comment wasn’t perfectly relevant to you. There’s no need for that, it’s relevant to others.

Agree. I spent quite a lot of effort at a previous role trying to convince junior developers to stop using except pretty much everywhere and just let the program explode, because that's really what you want most of the time. The proble

This isn’t too far from how most containers are built nowadays. Usually you just use Alpine or slim Debian images. The benefit of using those distro images is that they provide a lot of utilities you might want in a container, like a shell.

Nim only went 1.0 at the end of 2019, almost 5 years after Rust went 1.0, and my impression is that Nim has a pretty dedicated and healthy user-base as far as newer languages go. I wouldn't write it off yet. Probably also Rust having a

I think there's more to it than that. I have definitely observed a group of people who consider themselves 'travellers', and there does seem to be this societal aura around travel as if it's an achievement. I think the a

This is a very enjoyable and well-written article, and it makes a good point - The nature of travel, and everything you do while you're travelling, is so ephemeral that it really does nothing for establishing or communicating your iden

They are still debugging and patching the causes. The crash detection is just to try and prevent a single bug from bringing down the whole system.

If you're planning on using Ansible for your job or to administer Linux systems, then stick with Ansible. Nix is very niche and you aren't going to see much return on investment until adoption is significantly higher, and I'm

It's got elements of all of those things. It's basically a toolchain for building an 'environment', which is roughly analogous to a Linux distribution. It starts with a language that lets you declare the desired state of

My guess: Using LLVM IR would mean that the LLVM optimiser might have made the results more noisy or hard to understand when it was compiled to actually execute.
