Me seeing "Request a Demo" button -> immediately leaving.

I use Claude Opus and it gets the idea of Elixir's Ecto DB test case isolation through ultimately-rolled-back transactions just fine, FWIW.

Well if none of the measures you already tried to stop that did not work, then maybe one thing that can help you is asking yourself whether you are not feeling drained after interacting with those people? I, like yourself, cannot override m

Like with everything, none of the both extremes are good. What helps me in situations where people talk about it for the umpteenth time is trying to drill down and find the root cause with carefully worded questions. I think I might be read

That really depends if you like (or are mostly indifferent to) the new table. If you hate it then it becomes a game of "who of us two is more important to satisfy with a table". Definitely not a position you want to be in. Relat

It's not different per se, it's just being made much more difficult i.e. if you had to look for one pearl through a pile of 200 barnacles, how you have to scan through 3000.

Oh that's a very valuable link, thank you!

I could not resist to put my sarcastic comment about RAM price increases serving a good cause in there.

I did latch onto semantics for a little time, that much is true, but you are making it look much worse than it is. And yes I get a PTSD and an eye-roll-syndrome from the constant close scrutiny of Rust even though I don't actively work

I have worked with Rust for ~3.5 years. I had to use the `unsafe` keyword, twice. In that context it's definitely not everyday code. Hence it's difficult to use that to gauge the language and the ecosystem. Of course it's a b

You and a few others don't -- I did not make that clear, apologies. It's disheartening that a good amount of others do.

I already agreed that technically it is indeed a bug in the Rust code. I would just contest that such a bug is representative is all. People in this thread seem way too eager to extrapolate which is not intellectually curious or fair.

I did and it does not quite compute. That was glue code, related to interoperating with C. Not a "normal" everyday Rust code. It's an outlier. Helps to read and ingest context. Though I do agree that in the strictest of tec

Who is saying that 100% of C code is unsafe? It's potentially unsafe, as in: the mainstream compilers are unable to prove the code is memory-safe. Rust achieves a sizable but not complete victory on that front. I can't find the

by pdimitar 9mo ago
For your last sentence, I believe topics are conflated here. Of course if one writes unsafe Rust and it leads to a CVE then that's on them. Who's denying that? On the other hand, having to interact with the part of the landscape t

Anecdotal evidence and all such, but in my environment actually good managers were rarer than UFO sightings. Environments and local markets matter a huge amount. I believe the better question here would be: why would the reverse be claimed
317.
by pdimitar 10mo ago
Is it truly naive if most engineer's careers pass and they never meet even one such manager? For 24 years of career I've met the grand total of _two_ such. Both got fired not even 6 months after I got in the company, too. Who&#x27

I am very interested by something like this but your README is not making it easy to like. Demonstrating with 2-3 sample apps using RDX might have gone a long way. So how do I start using it if I, for example, want to use it like a decentra
319.
by pdimitar 10mo ago
I get your point but I am fairly sure I'll never move away from Neovim or nano (when I really have no choice). There are Zed and Helix of course and they are on my radar but... not enough focus and energy for such big quests. As for sp

Check my reply to your sibling. No good formula. I am just starting (was somewhere at the beginning of 2025). In general: try to reconcile the parts of you that don't feel listened to, with your everyday self. And be a touch assertive

by pdimitar 10mo ago
Iterative process is exactly how I would describe it. Formulate, try, readjust, ad infinitum / until you find a good-enough state.
322.
by pdimitar 10mo ago
I would not even know how to call my so-called "technique" if somebody else did not do it for me: awareness. What I do I would today call "reconciliation" or "making peace". Let me explain. On the one hand, I s

Yes, that would be the ideal setup indeed, agreed. But ruined health made me laser-focus on my wife and my work and I ignored many other things. Much to my shame, I don't even have a home media center and I have all the skills to make

by pdimitar 10mo ago
Oh yes, they are very closely linked! To be even more precise, regaining focus unlocks many other skills, prioritizing the physical health included. I am still working my way towards that.

- MANDATORY: Re-learn focus. I will not self-diagnose but I exhibit ADHD symptoms and I started actively fighting them back (they mostly come from the phone). I am not going to just deny myself access to apps on schedule -- my brain never c

by pdimitar 10mo ago
Yeah, that too. And AFAIK many devs do that, they buy mini PCs that are very generously specced and just carry them between home and office, usually plugging every periphery needed (display, keyboard, mouse, Ethernet) by just plugging one h

I would say durability. HN is obsessed by e-waste so pointing out that something can last 7+ years wins some over. Not being sarcastic, nor am I mocking anyone, I am stating an observation.

by pdimitar 10mo ago
I am puzzled by the "GT 1050M is not competitive today"? What does that even mean? You are moving goal posts. Your parent clearly specified long-term stability and lack of repairs. Granted not all laptops are that durable. But man

Who is "we"?

by pdimitar 10mo ago
I understand. I have a mini hub, something like 10x4x1 cm. Works fine for me and it even also has Ethernet. As mentioned, I'm sure Ftamework has valid usages. To me they command a much higher price premium than I'm comfortable wit
