I see this as the issue with Lambda's. If you use a few sparingly, great. When you are at a team of 50 working on 40 separate services with 500 Lambda's or so I don't see how you are better off than writing a self contained s

Not Rust but I often find with ADT's + Pattern matching I end up with a state machine without even attempting to write a state machine. ADT's + pattern matching make it a very easy pattern to implement. If your language supports e

I agree. I've had years of Linux experience and decided my home network + router was quite poor and I'd set up my own home network router and use OpenBSD to do it as an excuse to look at a BSD and fix my network issues. OpenBSD ha

Basic carbs mainly oats, rice or potatoes etc. Lean meat mainly chicken or fish. Lots of green veg, often steamed, a salad etc. Fats are from things such as nuts, avocados, eggs etc not cooking oils. Maybe a banana or odd piece of fruit but

Don't fall for that trap. I have never used Pulumi, I've used Terraform a bit. I like Terraform so this isn't a dig at the tools. Abstracting your cloud provider is similar to abstracting your database. At a high-level they a

Indeed. The only recent Scala job's I have seen in Australia have been Spark jobs because Spark uses Scala. Even these are diapering for Python Spark roles. I've worked on a few big data projects for large companies. I have a huge

I agree. For me it also came with a huge down side. I spent the last six to seven years using Scala, learning FP concepts, getting familiar with Haskell and it's concepts as well as other functional languages. This is after 7+ years pr

A stark difference to Sydney, Australia. I regularly see commuters getting fined cycling without helmets. The police favorite one is fining all the tourists on rental bikes. Most of the rental bikes don't have helmets as they go missin

This is sad. Haynes manuals are fantastic. It's hard to beat having one at hand when working on a vehicle, much more convenient than a tablet. I briefly used the online subscription to make some minor repairs on a vehicle I was selling

I often thought the same with the use of GraphQL. Instead of building a highly curated API with business logic, optimisations and other general stuff you are building a direct interface around how your data looks in the db, a 1:1 mapping an

I do the same for the same reasons, pi-hole docs recommends 0.0.0.0. I am wondering if you have multiple resolvers set up on a client, if you receive an nxdomain response if it will attempt another resolver? Which wouldn’t be what you want

Australia is a huge nanny state. It’s traditional stereotypical “she’ll be right mate” image is far from reality. Hugely litigious, lots of red tape, if there is a fine for something you will be fined. The ex prime minister stood in parliam
