Go's got an awesome feature set built in to the language for building small networked services. I implemented a client to a cryptocurrency network to extract information about its status and clients. I can't really express why it&

Not really relevant, but using Go to fetch the data, and then Ruby to process the data is the best. I used this exact set up for a project and it was amazing. Really the sweet spot of use cases for both languages.

Pretty sure my MacBook pro from 2009 did as well.

I also love the touchbar, the only button it's not superior to is the escape button. Who touch types the function keys anyway? Love it for the volume and screen brightness controls. Not too worried about my laptop being killed though,

It's a disgrace the agency who produced this website is not liable for this substandard quality. How crazy is it that code like this is deployed to production and then the customer has to pay 50 million to get it up to standards? The s

We recently decided as a company that the horizontal responsibilities structure doesn't work well at all, at least not at small scale. This was not in the software/infra teams but in our operations but I think there's some ge

In Nix it's also just a few lines to start a Docker container. I might be considered a heretic by the Nix community, but I don't believe in the advantages of Nix for software development / application configuration. Docker is

On NixOS installing any package is the same as reinstalling the operating system. Reinstalling the operating system just took a minute longer because it had to do more downloading. (edit: in theory, I actually bet that the certificates snea

I couldn't figure out what it was, but it was definitely a problem with NixOS itself, possibly with expired root certificates or something like that. The upgrade command couldn't connect to the nixos servers. I know there was at l

Crazy thing about NixOS is that it's so good, all the bad parts can be excused. I like to go on forums and complain about how the Nix configuration language is horrible, and there's not much documentation on how to get general thi

I would say it's more convenient and useful for servers, but it could also be used for desktop. In theory it's the perfect server operating system, but in practice many sysadmins balk at having to learn the configuration language

Exactly, the incentive would have to be much larger to get farmers take the risk and save the bees.

In The Netherlands there is an area that is a key part of the lifecycle of a specific bird called the "Grutto". It is not really endangered, but it is at risk, and if The Netherlands did nothing to protect it, then we would be the

Would you ask for the copyright back? As in, it doesn't seem like they're helping you at all, so maybe you could tell them you're leaving and you would like to have the copyright back. It might force them to show their colors

I thought the design of the Wendelstein was actually to be able to control the plasma more completely by leveraging modern computing. Its design allows for a lot more input than a simple Tokamak would. But I only have a very superficial und

And the experienced developer is Casey Muratori who is somewhat well known for being a very experienced developer. That makes it less likely that he doesn't know what he's talking about and is skipping over hard/slow features

I've done all of those things every time I participated in Ludum Dare, and I've used a game engine only once. The time constraints make you pick your battles. You have to pick technology you're fluent in, but there are great

If it is, then possibly Brittain has developed anti bodies now, and the African missions will be less successful.

So is the problem then that you can't push enough heat into the air, so you need to evaporate water? Sounds like a nice input to a desalination plant. Does this mean you agree that Arizona is a strange choice? If they need so much wate

So this is a very fundamental explanation of DDD, the kind you might learn at university. But the last time I researched DDD there was a very concrete architecture associated with it, and I didn't really understand why. Every DDD artic

It's crazy, I wonder if it actually works and they actually get a higher percentage of good coders. I just do a face to face, then a take home assignment, then another face to face where we discuss the take home, and then I immediately

I've had junior engineers outperforming senior engineers, even counting the hours I had to spend correcting and guiding. Some engineers are just slow. I don't think it's much correlated with experience. If your goal was never

What do you mean? The sample size was 6, and they were selected on having the same symptoms. There is more information on the statistical analysis in the paper, but the conclusion is that it was significant. If this is a significant treatme

Surely thats's the fault of the university right? A PhD would normally be very critically read by people that are themselves deeply embedded in the literature. I imagine it should be very hard to plagiarize signicantly in a PhD thesis.

Do I understand correctly that this is an effect that had not been predicted by any theory? And they assume it could be caused by some quantum effect but they have not worked out a full theory on it, I presume because that's simply not

Well that's true. I do think there's some value to the fact that if you call a JavaScript function you are guaranteed that no I/O has been executed (provided no on is using the old sync API's) before the function returne

Sure it's possible, you can use unsafePerformIO just fine in Haskell. It's idiomatic to not use it, just like it's idiomatic to not use synchronous I/O in JavaScript. Imo it's also not really interesting to talk abo
