Yeah, it's great how Javascript simply replaced industrial processes and our society no longer needs natural resources - only more stars on Github.

Something like Clojure's spec would IMO be a better fit, yeah. I've written an experiment with a runtime type-spec and checker for Nix: https://code.tvl.fyi/about/nix/yants/README.md However, this h

Some community members have looked into this quite a bit, and personally I have come to the conclusion that types don't really give that much benefit to Nix (and I say this as a Rust & Haskell developer). Nix expressions are almost

Only way to use the web is worth uBlock disabling all JS by default. Works on mobile, too.

These examples of producing known algorithms in response to function signatures make it seem to me like Copilot is an intelligent, vendoring "package manager", not something that solves problems by itself. The perceived productivi

In most parts of Europe getting to a specialist (e.g. a neurologist in this case) may still involve a long wait.

You're absolutely right, I also realised that while going through stuff :) It's going to stay home tomorrow! It's one of those things you just kinda forget about when you don't need them for a while ...

Yandex, I guess. You also have a variety of smaller providers hosting OpenStack, which gives you some platformy services.

It's basically impossible to release this kind of internal tooling due to the way Google works. You'd have to rewrite it, or open-source essentially the entire foundation, and Google probably doesn't want to do either.

As a Xoogler I'd say that Kubernetes is harder to use than Google's internal equivalents. It may not be harder to run, but that doesn't matter inside of Google unless you're on the teams responsible for the base layers.

Fully agree about the neo bank stuff. When I picked a bank for my current company people were recommending me Tinkoff (local neo-bank that's entirely online, but has fancy apps etc.). It was tempting due to how shiny all their stuff is

It feels like a good moment to note that the previous Yandex CEO resigned and moved to Israel , citing that she "can not live in a country that is at war with its neighbours".

It's not enforced in Rust, but it's automatic unless you actively prevent it from happening. So you could say it's an opt-out feature. std::mem::forget is considered safe, as explained in its docs: https://doc.rust

The problem with this approach is that the `-sk` keys need to be supported server-side (I'm not sure if that support goes beyond including them in a list of recognised key types, but it doesn't matter). As a result, lots of system

Yeah, it's nice. I don't know what it would be like in a language with a weak/no type system (e.g. JS) though, probably annoying.

Russia said they're shooting down drones with laser weapons, which sounds kinda reasonable. Probably fairly quick to aim, and definitely very quick to deliver. Colourless, instant laser is the Star Wars we deserve, not the Star Wars we
