Unless I've misunderstood entirely, Eject can move you from Porter Cloud to "you bring the cloud account but some/most things are still managed through your Porter setup."

Hopefully the experience they're getting now will make increasingly more of the relevant decisions something they can bake in to their automation and defaults.

I tend to regard code generation as being something that should -feel- like a macro to use, just one that optionally materialises the results so you can ship the code without a dependency on the generation logic. I am very conscious that mo

It's blindingly obvious to me that Ruby's basically "put smalltalk and perl in a blender with a tab of good acid" (and I mean that as a compliment). The main reasons I bounced off ruby and stayed with perl were - variabl

Usefully albeit depressingly, these days you can often get significantly easier buy-in if you call it a linter instead.

It's generally quite doable to write functions for that, e.g. in perl - use IPC::System::Simple qw(capture); use Sub::Install qw(install_sub); foreach my $command (qw(foo bar baz)) { install_sub $command => sub { capt

I quite like that pattern, but I think 'with a different datatype' should result in a small gnome climbing out the back of the computer and hitting the developer with a mallet.

In this case, as in both.

Between commits when I'm still modifying things. There's plenty of stuff that I have checked by a lint test before commit but is allowed to stick around in the codebase for a while locally as I work. e.g. if I have a debugging fun

It's more effort to code than a stack trace but it does tend to result in clearer errors.
282.
by mst 2y ago
This is why I tend to think 'catch' blocks would ideally run in the dynamic scope of the 'throw' such that you can decide whether or not to gather a stack trace at the point of catch rather than the point of throw. Commo

I think the reality re generics was that the authors of Go wanted to see what people did instead to understand the patterns of usage so when they -did- add generics they could provide the simplest thing required. Which is probably the only

Point. My mistake. I think ICJ giving credence to South Africa given they consider the ICC optional is still ... unfortunate, at best, but "conflict of interest" is rather less applicable.

I find it a little unfortunate that the ANC, who have explicitly stated they won't enforce the ICC warrant against Putin (and have previously ignored ICC genocide charges against a Sudanese leader), were still considered a reasonable g

Somewhat belated, but thank you - I'll probably have a play with that, it looks ... less annoying than anything else I've seen, at the very least. Losing my temper and writing my own is still on the cards at some point, I imagine,

The original D2 is still one of my favourite things for LAN play (especially with the Ancestral Recall - Skills Enhanced mod), I think the friends plus pizza plus beer combination helps bring the nostalgia back more than a graphical overhau

I think "a compass would've been nice" is reasonable though and seems like a compromise that probably wouldn't've detracted noticeably.

Shadows of Doubt actually sounds quite interesting, seems like the sort of game where dipping in and solving one case, then putting it down for a few days/weeks, might keep it feeling at least somewhat fresh. A game that fits between &

Disappointed there wasn't a sequel so they could've called it Phantasmagorier.

Might be worth seeing if e.g. jemalloc is enough less terrible for the sort of examples you're looking at to help with that. (though note that I mention jemalloc because I've had "huh, this C code now magically runs faster&qu

Perhaps consider moving the warning in the NOTE at the bottom of the README.md to a DISCLAIMER section near the top. I read the whole thing first, then commented, but people often read half of such a document, assume they've got all

One example that springs to mind was a vendor antivirus system that unpacked email attachments into /tmp - generally when it died on its arse the only way to figure out why was to dig into /tmp and look at what it had left, then t

Very very handy for people just learning (what's often referred to as "baby perl" in an affectionate rather than derogatory way). Learning to use perl -properly- is a whole other barrel of monkeys though. (it does have the ad
