Hi, I have kind of a "FOSS diplomacy" question: is the kernel core team involved in this effort, or is it something totally third party to them? (the purpose of this question being to know if linux core team gets involved in go pr

It's extremely common for CI to break for no good reason. My bet is that they launched their suite again and only bothered mentioning it because how unexpected the fail was.

You're welcome to write your own version of coreutils, then, if it's that a big deal for you (you may want to take the opportunity to raise the size of buffers everywhere to fit your machines resources realistically).

The thing is, the kind of developers it takes to implement smart contracts correctly is probably exceptionally rare, if they even actually exist. I don't think it's impossible, but it's clearly in conflict with the "rele

I remember when those papers were hitting headlines. The opinion of anti-TDDs back then was : "yes, it's certainly a good thing for students learning how to code", following the idea that it forced them to consider architectu

Btw, note for those who use ovh ISP like me (this is a thing in France): your connection works, only the DNS's do not. Fix (debian-like): sudo apt-get install bind9 Then put in /etc/resolv.conf, if it's not alre

I've actually moved from ruby too (although, still doing some for contract work), but I wouldn't say the language is the problem, nor rails. I was more tired of the community, actually (not the opensource community, but the cowork

Yeah probably, I don't use any IDE feature for ruby code. It's still a problem that all methods available in current scope are not immediately obvious, though. And if you try to inspect available methods on an object in a REPL con

by oelmekki 9y ago
Yeah indeed, there's that too, although I'm glad we can't define methods on interfaces (using the interface as method receiver), so it quite reduces the complexity to just having to figure out the actual type, most often foun

Actually, not having inheritance is what I love the most about go. When I write ruby code, I keep wondering "where does this method come from?" and have to grep my codebase. "Composition over inheritance" is not a new tr

There's got to be a solution between those two extremes :) I've started writing only integration tests, this is cool because most of the time it only breaks during refactoring when there actually are regressions. I've also ma

Hah, good point. I don't like to rant usually, but this is for the good cause. I'm annoyed I feel the internet is turning more and more hateful. I'm annoyed writing and fixing tests takes half of my time when writing code. I&

I love adding my svg as react components, actually. It makes it easy to conditionally toggle parts of it, change text, manage colors, etc. Of course, if you just want to use the svg doc as a static icon, then yes by all mean, a plain file w

Alternatively to tf-idf, there's an interesting property in word embeddings generated by word2vec : they're sorted by rarity (the most common words being on top of the list). So if you insert them in the same order in a database,

Please anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no raw socket interface in browsers, as far as I know. Websockets are the closest thing, while still ensuring usual client side security (like preventing cross site request).

This is interesting when you want near realtime performances, as you don't have all the culprint of a http request : you basically just send a few octets (a json document, or even just a simple value), and you don't have to build

I see your point, but you make it sound like they have no choice but play games :) Ultimately, they do that to themselves and they want it (because they want to beat it). It's like watching an horror movie and insulting actors for be

Code is for tech reviewers (CTO or inside developers). Most often, they will look at your repos, but they are not the ones you will chat with. It's still useful to have material for non tech people, though. That's why, additionall

And on top of that, your users will probably hate you. Complaining is a thing on the whole internet, but I'm always shocked by how common it is for gamers to trash those who basically make their leisure possible. Indeed, this industry

Rob Pike and Dave Cheney know way better than me, but I can't help to think they're trying to be "easy rather than simple", here. Rob doesn't explain why a config struct is not good for him in his reference article

Yeah indeed, for contract customers, better go with something you're confident everybody will already know, since other people will have to manage it when you won't be there anymore. In a previous startup I was CTO and founder for

I'm under the impression that by "it's not worth of my time", you actually mean "I don't like sysadmin" :)

I like the idea, actually. But I can guarantee that given how teachers/parents/old people always complain that young french people can't write french properly, they would brutally yell at this idea :)

Well, I guess it's a matter of preference, then, because I definitely feel like having to press 3 keys instead of one is indeed a problem when you have to do it four or five times per sentence :) A side note, btw, regarding CTRL-[ : it

I've considered a few times switching to a qwerty (from french azerty), but there are two things that made me pull back: 1. french people I know who use qwerty tend to not write any accentuated characters anymore. I'm ready to acc

I had the same impression while reading the article. I think that somehow, author is equating crowdfunding to charity (which would explain why they would think it's outrageous rich companies are trying to take advantage of it). To me,

The support for android apps is in one of their stretched goal in their crowdfunding campaign : $10M... so, not really realist, given how the campaign is currently doing. That being said, if we managed to run windows games on linux, I'

Actually, I would tend to think net neutrality should apply to content host as well. Provided content is not illegal, obviously. The best to do to fight false info is to shame those who share it, just like we shame news outlets which do not
