Maybe the US just has just lost its fascination. I mean, we are bombarded with America's stupidity amost every day, why spend our vacation there? The whole travel experience just sucks anyway and at the border you are treated like the

Algorithms as well. Python is close to pseudocode, which makes it a perfect fit.

Same here. I hate having to do business trips to the US. Unfortunately, our most important customer is from there, which forces me to travel once in a while. But the whole experience just sucks.

Anders is answering this in the Video. Go is the lower level and also closer to Javascript's programming style. They didn't want to fully object oriented for this project.

I like Anders'answer there. "But you can achieve pretty great things with it".

This works for me. if res, err := doSomething(); err == nil { return nil, err } no point in continuing with a null object anyway

The teaching tools nowadays available to CFIs are fantastic. Get yourself X-Plane 12, Honeycomb yoke, throttles and rudders and a decent aircraft like the Challenger 650 and you are good to go. All of this can be had for around 1000 bucks a

I think that's the main problem. The low hanging fruits have all been picked a long time ago. You can try to undercut existing software, but it's not easy.

Looks like the human mind just cannot cope with being a billionaire. They all seem to go crazy.

But you would be even richer if you had a nickel for every time Microsoft reinvented the wheel for things nobody asked for...

Java nowadays basically means Spring Boot. Which is just best practices anyway. And every Spring Boot project looks the same. It's boring and it works. So from a technological standpoint, it doesn't really matter which one you cho

Java has been doing great recently and I feel there is a bit of a renaissance going on. There is a very mature leadership at the helm and it shows. With .NET, it seems that they've added features too quickly without giving it enough th

The renaissance is more about server based monoliths. Suddenly everyone and their uncle realizes what a waste of time, money and brainpower those SPAs talking to a gazillion micro services managed by Kubernetes are for many if not most use

I've used twitchtv/twirp with success. I like it because it's simple and doesn't reinvent itself over and over again.

I wanted one, but then Elop killed it. I took quite a long time for Android to become as good.

That's the way I see it too. All that AI crap isn't going to make our lives any better. It even might have the opposite effect. Few people are getting super rich while everyone else just suffers. Previous tech revolutions like PC,

I'm a highly specialized software developer with 30 years of experience. I could save our customer, a huge US entity, a lot of money by moving to the states for the duration of the project. I don't have a college degree though, wh

The situation is totally different. First of all, it's not comparable with the Recall crap that's going with Windows at all. Second, if they really try something fishy, you can just switch to Debian or any of the other distributio

Same here, I've even lived in the States for a while. For me, Europe is the place to be. While we might not have as many opportunities as our counterparts in the States, life is generally pretty great over here for the average Joe. The

It's the same story over and over again. Nobody gets fired for choosing AWS or Azure. Clueless managers and resume driven developers, a terrible combination. The good thing is that this leaves a lot of room for improvement for small c

What a great little machine. Would be great if this could finally put the nail into Windows. It's about time.

I'm only familiar with Angular so far, but looking for a more enjoyable framework for personal projects. I'm having a hard time deciding between Vue and Svelte. Vue seems to be better supported by component vendors (PrimeVue, DevE

As someone who struggles with a terrible Java codebase and contemplates switching - what are F#s drawbacks?

I'm currently a Java developer working on a large code base. This is where Java's object oriented nature really shows its weaknesses. Reading other people's code becomes a huge pain, since everything is mutable and you can ne

When writing aviation software, there is a process you need to follow, DO-178C. So even if you produce bugs, they should be caught in later stages. Everything needs to go through a risk assessment phase. The fact that they were determining

I think there are lots of us having the same questions. I'm at a point in my life where I just can't stand it anymore (after 25 years). I'm thinking about doing something completely different for a while, even if it pays a wh

But you also need the GUI part. Flutter seems to be the main competitor here. What's the current situation with Kotlin? Is there a decent Compose for Web yet?

by zeroc8 2y ago
Well, I guess now it's a good time for developers to come up with their own ideas instead of working on somebody else's. There is no reason to panic.

In my opinion, that is due to Qt being such a complete and well documented framework.
