Maybe it works for literal remote development, but the jetbrains support for remote dev in a docker container is a complete afterthought. There's tons of critical, relevant feature requests that have been stuck in the pipeline for year

I perceive the soul of what you're saying to be: don't get too obsessed with how your program is made, and focus on how it actually _works_. You don't get extra credit for building your app in Rust. The value of building it i

I think this is a really important comment that deserves to be discussed. You can see this on display in virtually every hackernews thread. Somebody will say something like "I sort of like X, but my problem with it is Y". But what

I know, what's up with this? I always feel like the systems guys must know something I don't, and that it would be way harder than I'm imagining. But like.. haven't we learned enough in the last 30 years to know that we

Telepresence was incredible, but Cisco completely ruined it with the Tandberg acquisition. They restructured management to accommodate all the new execs from Norway, who just wanted to keep doing what they knew how to do: make more crappy c

Well not for nothing, thanks for your comment - this is a really good insight!

Interesting, because the search function that Cisco's intranet provides for documents and such is perhaps the single most useless piece of technology I've ever encountered. You could search something like "401k plan" and

Wokeness has basically become a religion. Wokeness begins, just like many religions, with an original, unforgivable sin. That ultimate trespass becomes the lens through which all of modern life is viewed, no matter how remote it sits in the

Yes, you are exactly right. I mentioned it further down, but my team and I are having preliminary success by integrating with VSCode's "Remote: Docker" extension. They've got it rigged so that all language support can r

Interesting. >Personally, I don’t care for auto-completion or go-to-definition What about just plain old syntax highlighting to make sure your imports are resolving? Do you just run vim from inside the container or something, and then fi

Do you mind if I ask whether you're using some kind of stack where auto-completion, intellisense, etc. is not dependent on any system libraries or dependencies? Or do you just require the developer to install all of those libraries and

At my company we just finished setting up a brand new docker dev container that we work out of, and it's awesome. However, it was absolute pain to get it to the point where it's awesome, and the only way it worked at all was becau

Nope, the mass of the lever doesn't play in to the torque that is applied at all. All that matters is that the force be transmitted via atom-to-atom motion. It's the rigidity of the wrench that mediates that, not its mass. Of cour

Thank you for making me feel like I'm not taking crazy pills. I share the parent's frustration in trying to keep my head wrapped around what all the different players are in the space. I tend to agree that the more I look into Nix

I read this article a few days ago and said almost exactly the same thing. The mook stuff is fun, but the line you quoted: >“We are not beefing endlessly because we do not desire peace or because we do not know how to engineer peace. We

I'm not sure exactly why but this question has left me breathless in hysterical laughter.

My theory is that it's engineering, not science, that confirms our knowledge. You don't really know something about the world until you can use it to do things. WWII-era science was being incorporated into tools (well, weapons), s

It's all just spending though. Tide is trying to get you to pay a little extra for the name brand over the generic. Instead of a Toyota SUV you could have picked up a used beater - or kept driving the car you have for a few more thousa

It sounds like Sterling was some cool work - too bad it didn't work out. If it's going to happen, I think it's going to require a non-iterative step-change to get it right. A far cleaner design for the web would be essentiall

This kind of seems like a troubling insight at first glance, but it doesn't pass basic sanity checks imo. You could make the same exact argument about any other type of industry. Watch: >The [pool of discretionary income people have

Isn't the reason to use classes the dispatch aspect of it? If I take in a duck-typed object and call obj.foo(), then I get an appropriate class-specific version of foo(). Like you said, isinstance() is an anti-pattern - I don't wa

Open source by any chance? :) I've been hunting for some examples of more modern detection networks written in Flux - particularly CenterNet. Seems like the only built-in examples they have are toys though.
