I made a pull request for some obvious ones that come to mind. I have blanked out painful memories of cross-compiling protobufs using CMake but will add a description when I can face them.

If you're using Rust -- tell me, what are you building in it? And what do you love about Rust in your experience while building it? (Get me excited) I think that it is wrong to think of Rust in terms of internet popularity contests.

century of poverty, slavery, and hundred million deaths I am genuinely curious about where you get the figure of 100 million deaths from. I also believe that all the societes that had slaves were capitalist ones. But we can both agree tha

This works for one Go or Rust executable but any real system is a mix of technologies e.g A Go service talking to a Java application server proxied with a C webserver that was configured with a bash script. Once you have a mix of different

I imagine that you have to use an Event Sourcing architecture because if you use Kafka as a primary datastore you need to add a lot of complexity outside of Kafka to make it usable. For instance, you cannot query Kafka and this is a basic

You can cry however much you want to, but the opportunity is out there. There are numbers on this and they don't back up your argument at all. The US has some of worst economic mobility of developed countries [1]. Its almost as bad a

This is so true. Twenty years ago the best programmer I ever worked with was a women, and I only thought of her as the best programmer that I'd ever worked with. Something has changed since then and I am unable to perceive or explain w

Getting high is not any kind of civil rights struggle. It's nice, but that's it. I think this is a logical and well reasoned attitude if you are living in an ivory tower and have never been close to an addict. People mostly beco

Having to wrap your logic with `(let [value (...)] ...)` in order make a new local variable is unnecessarily painful. You can have more than one value in a let and it typically does not cause problems. If you do find it causes problems, i

You can certainly qualify unlimited service for reasonable use. There was some UK court case where the ruling agrees with what you said. However, both then and now I disagree with it. The reason is it is absolutely wrong in terms of langu

Good luck with this. I find GC programming really hard as any small mistake snowballs and becomes super hard to find during debugging. Some of the mistakes seen by the author could just be the original programmers being tired of painful deb

I like the story of the factory manager who sees some workers breaking the rules and smoking in in the factory. He gives each of them an expensive cigar and says something like "I'd appreciate it if you guys smoked these outside.&

The Banana Pi router is interesting. It has several ethernet ports, has debian available for it and a SATA interface so it can double as a simple NAS: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/144-3904771-9295165?...

I've written frontend apps in C++ with Qt. Please don't take my hate of frontend Javascript personally -- I really do hate it though. It sounds like that you have not much experience outside of Javascript and somehow think that wh

I ended up on a frontend project recently and I am doing my best to get out of it. Its a nightmare. Imagine a scripting language that you have to compile into another scripting language. Lessons from decades of shared experience completely

There is something strange that I cannot explain. When I use git I am comfortable rebasing quite a lot. When I use fossil I do not miss it at all. Similarly, when I use go I do not miss generics despite using them quite a lot when they are

It quite easy to setup DNSCrypt with OpenNIC[1] and then a lot of the downsides that you mention go away. Here is some background and setup instructions: https://markbrown778.wordpress.com/2014/08/08/dns-priva

I think your argument would have more weight if this presentation wasn't sharing the front page with the story about a 9.6 inch IPad that has 100s of comments. What Apple does next is a tech fetish. Personally, I'd rather read abo

The following works for me and might be useful: - Use a different IDE/Editor (spacemacs is cool for home use). - Use a different language (go is super easy to learn and use). - Use private repositories as this makes writing throwaway c

This is my biggest complaint about gogs. I use it for personal projects but it is harder to collaborate with and get pull requests from other developers using gogs than it is with github. It is a pain if you have to register with every gogs
