Simply "Meetings will continue until velocity improves" would work just as well. I'd totally buy a plaque of that to set up at the office :D

I can totally see why for really big streamers, to avoid stalkers and crap.

Why do you think wages wouldn't rise as well in that case?

There was this bug in Java related to a leap second that broke all Java servers in the world one summer..

Om The flip side, modern javascript frameworks seems to like to reinvent the basic primitives as well (based on how often my back button is broken), so I'm not certain that will be a deal-breaker.

Then people get stuck on old insecure versions of chromium. Or it simply disappears. Do you really think that doesn't create confusion and anger?

Wasn't that uptick in us employment found out to be a calculation error though?

At least for Sweden, it is still true that the worst flus have killed more people than corona on a per capita basis. And we don't have to go back very far at all to find cases of this. 1993 and 2000 where particularly bad and topped co

Sweden also has an private sector extremely dependent on exporting stuff, so when global trade is down so is the Swedish economy.

Which part of my answer gave the idea that this is about age? FWIW, academia have never been good at teaching these skills, so the answer to your question is "You'll stop being junior with regards to refactoring complex code bases

Tests are only sufficient if they tests cover the failure modes of the new abstraction. That is very often not the case. Tests still help a lot, but they don't reduce the risk to zero.

On the other hand, most people don't work at those short-lived projects. The vast majority of people work for profitable companies that have plenty of long lived code.

Another thing those juniors are seldom good at, is knowing how to refactor an existing old code base. Which is not surprising, as everything they worked on during education is new code. Knowing how to change a code base from one abstraction

I wonder how io_uring changes this equation. The ability to have multiple concurrent accepts queued up could push the limits around a bit.

Problem is that the helicopter model they bootlegged isn't certified to fly as it is too old and not following modern regulations.

And who decides what is just or not? Somehow the privileged ones always think they use their privilege in a just way.

Because currently Crystal is singlethreaded. You only get multithreading if you compile with -Dpreview_mt . I suppose it will be on by default at some later point.

Recursion is really not the idiomatic way to solve most things in Crystal either, not that it make the test relevant.

> While some folks eagerly await true parallelism, which I THINK was here already and then revoked temporarily, It is there, but not enabled by default. You need to add -Dpreview_mt to the command line to enable it.

On the other hand, what is fairly common is for companies to get saved out of bankruptcy by outside investment, in return for equity. This is a case of that with the oddity that it happened without contact between the company and the invest

It might also indicate that a lot of the projects that Rust would be a great fit for tend to live for a long, long, time. That slows down market penetration, regardless of how much better it is.

Well, the function of a blacklist tend to have negative connotations, so that those connotations match how they are actually used seems like a feature, not like something to avoid.

FWIW, Crystal does have compile-time method_missing. Which obviously is less powerful than the runtime variant, but it is still possible to get fairly far in many practical usages.

Depends on how you count. On a application level, no. On a class level, also no. On a method level, no but we are getting close. On a row level, possibly. On a token level, definitely.

"This random corner case in this function returns a null, but I don't see the consumer handling nulls." Modern type systems tend to incorporate handling of null values in the type system though. I can recommend looking at Cry

> Make sure you do a feature freeze before you start Easier said than done. Oh, it is easy to get the deciding people to do lip service to it when planning the rewrite originally, but a lot harder to enforce it a few months down the line

While you are not necessarily wrong, such a system would add complexity and currently they don't seem to need it to be competitive, so why bother? It is the kind of innovation which will come if the flight type becomes sufficiently com

Depends a lot on what machine you are using and how parallelized the compile script is. Modern CPUs (threadripper 39x0Xs) can compile the Linux kernel in under 30s. With that in mind, does is it really surprising that Postgres can take 3.30
