I vote for the hypothesis of them being complacent and wanting to score quick and easy wins. In terms of therapeutic approaches I can't blame them but you are right that a lot of the current technology is too old and doesn't even

Even if so, that's besides the point IMO. I for one would prefer to use software that makes full use of the system's resources. Bonus points if this is a knob that we can turn.

I get the picture, yes, namely that probably 99% of project dependencies don't need I/O capabilities at all. And even if they do, they should be controlled in a granular manner i.e. "package org.ourapp.net.aws can only do net

I challenge the authors of this website to show me a software written in the last 10 years that never had a bug. I have scanned the first 20-ish items and it seems those are either fixed or not considered important (unsure about the latter;

That looks great, thank you. Just a quick Q in case you are aware: any apps/services that can help me formulate and do (daily) exercises about fixing a straightened lumbar lordosis?

Too much generalization. Not interesting and not a discussion. No idea why you even bothered to reply. I stated an opinion. You can reject it silently. Having the last word is not such a badass move as many people think. :)

You have too much faith in the social system. Clue: I am in Eastern Europe. We have exactly zero protection. Not small. Zero. TL;DR if my reserves dwindle, I get thrown on the street. No conditions. No if-s. No but-s. No social safety net.

Let me be crystal clear that I am NOT defending Asimov here; he used his fame and was aware that many of the women will not be believed if they spoke out -- and shamelessly took advantage of that. Combine that with my strictly personal opin

One of the most refreshing things about this part of the Foundation books was that I couldn't quite figure out who was in fact the main character. I too eventually concluded it was Bayta since she was the one who figured out who The Mu

To your last: yep, especially having in mind that Redis is ephemeral. I've had much more success with SQLite + a bunch of stricter validators (as SQLite itself is sadly pretty loose), and more performance too.

That's most likely what's going on with me as well. Working hard to undo it but to say it's hard would be a laughably weak understatement.

Those headlines help me understand what I am getting so I seriously have no idea what argument you are trying to make. You do seem to say Golang and/or Rust devs are zealots which, if it is indeed what you are saying, is boring and pla

What's preventing you from working in a less dysfunctional place, exactly?

by pdimitar 2y ago
Obviously. But I did qualify my statement. There are projects where you're OK with not getting everything right from the get go. FWIW I very much share your exact thoughts on Rust skewing metrics because it makes things too easy and be

And I see people who assume choosing a language was done for "flashy stuff" the less capable. See, we can all generalize. Not productive. Only thing I ever saw from Golang devs was pragmatism. I myself go either for Elixir or Rust

I still have some respect for that form of advertising though. At least they are not actively trying to be pieces of crap. :)

This much I know and have heard. Still curious about some examples though.

Really? And how exactly? "Just man up", maybe? Sorry for the snark but I don't think they can just magically make you feel better. An example or two could change my mind.

Internet advertising is a race to the bottom. If you're not using scummy tactics then your competitors will, and you lose money -- or your entire business. I can't remember the last time I was exposed to respectful ads. My home Pi

I don't think we disagree at all btw. IMO we all agree understanding of what the spat-out code actually does is mandatory and absolutely is NOT optional. The rest are really just details. I agree that nowadays LLMs can fill in for SO a
