I'm talking about open-source libs, i.e., I don't know who is going to use the lib, which env and target language they have, etc. So I think that Java is the best middle ground here because it guaranties the full support of JVM fe

Here is what we use and I'd recommend to others. The most common: - Kotlin for most of the backend code, but Java for shared libs. We still use Java 8 for some libs which may be used in Android, that's an unfortunate reality - Gra

No, you're changing my words. I didn't tell that everything Wagner related is always neo-Nazi. I said that they choose the name because it's common to think that Wagner is associated with Nazi Germany. It doesn't matter

Well, the "Wagner" by itself is a reference to Richard Wagner which is commonly associated with Nazy Germany [1]. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagner_controversies

It was IronWolf Pro. I guess it's a business drive, but not an enterprise drive. I was not an enterprise or even a business customer anyway, so they had that procedure. The process may change since that moment, I just checked it was in

I had same problem with failed Seagate HDD. They were asking me to use their Windows-only app to diagnose the problem. I tried to explain that I use it with a NAS and I cannot install Windows on it just to do such diagnostics test. No luck

That makes exactly opposite effect. The problem with current Russia that people don't have access to the information alternative to the official government version. Putin's supporters don't know much about the war, they told

Russia tax income is less than $20B. But income from selling gas/oil is $80B, plus about same from other types of resource export. So if we talk about not paying taxes it's the Europe who buys that gas should stop buying it, that

You kidding? That's exactly what have been happening in Russia, or Belarus. When there is a larger crowd on the street that it supposed to be and it shows some signs that it's politically motivated, the police starts to catch peop

Google App Engine was a really great advance in building scalable web apps. Used it since the very first days and loved it. Still have a couple of projects running on App Engine. Remember when I launched my first project on App Engine, it w

Rebellion is not as simple as it looks like. I'm saying that as a person who played a big role in Ethereum Classic "rebellion". As many mentioned here, you need to disable the Difficulty Bomb. But it is not the bigger problem

I'm a big fan of problem/solution format. I.e. something like _"problem: suboptimal routing for upstreams in different datacenters; solution: additional role to separate primary and secondary upstreams"_. Also I consider

I had bought a bunch of different pens a year ago. Different brands and different models. My goal was to find a good pen for notetaking and basic diagram drawing. The first thing I learned was that most of the fancy pens are more suitable f

It's an implementation detail, right. But in most cases, it's implemented as immutable. With some exceptions, but developers are very upfront about that in those cases. But even if developers implemented their contract with the po

Well, for example, the Amazon AWS is a self-referential babble for the traditional web. But I guess it doesn't make it useless.

I believe that "closest/biggest hospital" is a choice in emergency. Or when it's something unimportant. Otherwise people tend to choose a doctor and clinic based on reviews or recommendations, or maybe years of experienc

What I see wrong with GraphQL is that it makes the frontend lazier about thinking about what exactly it needs from the server. I'm talking about recurring queries. When you often need to update a tiny part of the UI, with GraphQL, it&#

I've got an anecdote on this. I've requested some paper documents, a simple thing that should not take a long time to process. It's literally just to look at the request, check a database, and print a response; the only reaso

It would give me a leverage and that would be a totally different conversation. Though I understand that if lawyers want to destroy something they can do it regardless the CLA or anything. It's just the game of who spend more money in

I think it was not about those lines, and they didn't want to listen. I believe the court would rule to just "revert it" but I didn't have money to go to court anyway. I'm not sure that I would spend money on lawyer

That's an option too. Though as for me it's the same efforts for a contributor. Unless you require the CLA physically signed on paper. Otherwise there are GitHub addons that do CLA just with one click once after making a first Pul

I bet it isn't always the case too, right? I actually wanted to say that the fact of owning a foreign corp doesn't mean anything. It may be used to avoid some taxes, or may not. I can even give opposite examples, like when someone

Before transferring the money to an offshore you earn them, which includes paying all of the taxes, like normal ppl. When you get money from the offshore (as dividends or whatever) you pay taxes on that income, like normal ppl. What happens

Oh, I was using it _many_ years ago, glad it's still alive. What I liked is that the projects are text-based and can be stored in Git. I.e., easily shared between apps, accessible for collaborative works, with changes history, etc. Ess
