> Even the Go standard library is quickly aging If anything, I found go stdlib to age like fine wine. It doesn't do everything under the sun, but what it does it does very well and can easily be extended if needed.

I have Steves book on paperback. Haven't had time to read it all and given the rate things are moving now I am afraid that some of it could be outdated. As a developer, what I really want to hear is that Rust 2022 will be basically Rus

Am I the only person who is just fine with the new keyboard? Obviously the ones on ideapad and whatnot are not in the same league, but the keyboard on T450s and T460s are pretty awesome.

Note that Linux certification applies only to specific distros/versions. Ubuntu LTS works flawless on my thinkpad but some stuff break on Ubuntu 21.10.

But has anyone actually defunded the police? I think the main problem is the _unbelievable_ level of incompetence roaming freely within the police force. They never catch the bad guys [1] and the money you give them may be used to buy expen

What kind of stupidly is this? Did Apple hire the guy in charge of Windows 10 user accounts?

A few years back androidpolice had a article on how apple gets _media_ to hate android. For example, friendly publications would regularly receive "dirt" on android directly from apple execs. I recall this was confirmed by macworl

Fair point, those things are expensive when new. But then again, I would never buy those when just released.

But most of these are meaningless if you don't work full days on the run. Most of us sits in an office with a big monitor and a mouse and keyboard most of the time. And I don't get the "better productivity" talk either.

I only learned two things in 2021: 1. When you actually have the time to binge them you will notice that most new netflix/disney/... series are pretty boring and/or stupid. 2. As much as I hate admitting it, I actually miss t

Technically, LFS isn't part of git and was added by a third party to solve a problem they had.

Mozilla has invested tons of resources in improving web security, sometimes even when it hurts them. A good examples is the anti-tracking stuff that break some badly coded (sometimes intentionally!) pages. Users may have left FF for chrome

The book maybe is garbage, but it makes people think about others feelings and goals in meetings. This is already much more than an average person does walking into a social situation.

A lot of embedded stuff needs nightly. Or at least, it was like this a year or two ago. A related issue is that for many companies "stable" means the version shipped with Ubuntu LTS.
