So as it turns out regulation is good for us, and free market forces don't solve all problems.

How is this different from interactive rebases?

Or a horrible statement at the level of company interest in tech debt - a problem given to the interns.

The fact that you need a find and replace tool to make sensible changes to your codebase indicates that it's hugely out of control already.

At the same time, the counterpoint is of course that the 80s (and 90s for most) really required you to read a lot of books. There wasn't really any coding boot camps, tutorials (as they are today), pluralsight etc etc and the chances o

I find it fascinating that most people have over a decade's experience of tinkering with computers, writing their own little pieces of code etc before they even enter the job market in their early twenties! Very few other professions c

I also maintain a three pronged approach like this, where I keep one dynamically typed scripting language, one compile-to-native speedy one and one general purpose on a VM style language like Java. Currently my picks are: Rust -> to nati

This is true! Perhaps my comment was a bit in haste, however there's a lot of caveats with "exits" rather than returns which complicate the matter, for example in Java System.exit can fail (and finizalizers may or may not be

What amazes me, is all this cool stuff but a Rust process still can't return an exit code [0] without using a workaround. I actually use Rust in production, and have generally found it very good - compared to the well discussed difficu

Interestingly it seems that GPG is originally from Germany [0] (a headline act from the first crypto war, I expect there are many other examples!) [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard

It supports that kind of error handling too, fn something() -> (String, String) ... let (result, err) = something() It's just that Result is preferable because you can pattern match on it

> Likewise, women tend to make significantly less money for doing the same work, in the same positions, at the same company, because of (largely) subconscious biases. I see this everywhere, and yet no citations (and when asked, I usually

You could also use this https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Condvar.html (all block, notify one) to implement a "work stealing" style multiple consumers channel that'd be pretty cool. I think

This is the case for spsc (single producer, single consumer) channels, but the example I posted is for a mpsc (multiple producer single consumer) channel. Any number of threads can push data into it, as the example shows! Having multiple re

http://rustbyexample.com/std_misc/channels.html This is how you share a queue between threads, the title is super-clickbait. It doesn't seem a surprise that stdlib doesn't have a circular buffer, I have no id

You could also use elastic-beanstalk, which I think is also free for very low traffic sites.

High-quality software isn't expensive - it has a high initial cost, but the difference between a successful product and a crappy product you can't sell and need to hire hundreds of people to bugfix is more than enough to cover thi

So there's no correlation in skill between the people that put hours of their own time into honing their craft, and those that don't?

I agree that makes more sense than the childcare argument. I'd still wonder though - what are this person's interests in tech? What do they do in pursuing those interests? I think these are legitimate questions, since one of the b

It doesn't have to be open source, private repos, private gitlab etc all fine.
