gscho··on Improving GitHub Code Search
This is exactly how I see it as well. Rust used to be an obscure language with a compiler written in OCAML. If something was written in D or zig, it’s noteworthy so you mention it. I think rust has come into the mainstream enough that we can drop the “written in rust” line imo.
gscho··on Thank you, GitHub
That’s how I read it
gscho··on We Just Gave $155k to Open Source Maintainers
MarkLTX starred his own open source project. He is a self-star-er. Enough said.
gscho··on Gitlab from YC to IPO
I worked on a Jenkins cluster with around 150 agents and many, many builds per day. It all ran so smoothly and I swear it was because there was zero groovy.
gscho··on Ten Commandments of Salary Negotiation
100% this. When I told some of my peers that I accepted a job with FAGNAM without negotiating I felt looked down on because “everybody does it”. I was happy with the salary, stock and terms /shrug.
gscho··on Tenderjit – A JIT for Ruby Written in Ruby
Love seeing people make ruby 3.0+ faster!
gscho··on How to build a search engine with Ruby on Rails
This is a bit off topic but I wanted to say I’m really glad there are still people out there hacking on some ruby + Postgres projects and writing about it. I feel that ruby is an excellent language and dread the demise of it.
gscho··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
As long as you do what is right
gscho··on Why doesn’t natural immunity count in the US?
It’s needs to be a step further though. This wing is for COVID patients who couldn’t be vaccinated for legitimate health risks or for the vaccinated who still get COVID. Anyone who willingly skips the vaccination should not be eligible for COVID ER beds.
gscho··on GitHub’s engineering team has moved to Codespaces
Thank you for ruining the mandalorian. I just started season 2.

With strong consistency as well.
gscho··on Sriracha hit revenue of $150M a year with no sales team or ad spend
I much prefer French's and this news article makes it taste even better!
gscho··on Toward Vagrant 3.0
Any development of config management (ie: chef, ansible, etc) benefits from vagrant as well for the same reasons.
gscho··on Playdate pre-orders begin in July
Looks like a Ruby DSL to me
gscho··on Working at a startup is overrated, both financially and emotionally
I often think about leaving my job for an enterprise role and doing exactly what you describe. After working for years in the professional services space I am confident I could do that job in a few hours per day and spend the rest on other more exciting things.
gscho··on gRPC benchmark results
Really surprised to see crystal below Ruby in all the tests. Perhaps there hasn't been enough time to fine tune the implementation of grpc yet.
gscho··on GitHub Collection: Made in India
Would love to see a list like this for Canada!
gscho··on Firefox 89.0 Beta brings a new look
I have been using Firefox for 15 years and will never switch. For me it's the idea of supporting the underdog along with the security. Plus at this point I really know how to use it well!
gscho··on 53% of Canadians on the Brink of Insolvency
Thinking this way is not isolated to those locations. For example there has been a huge influx of people buying properties sight unseen and over-asking price in places like Nova Scotia.

gscho··on Semaphore – Modern UI for Ansible
I started using chef again recently and I love it. Feels great to use it again after being full k8s for a while.
gscho··on The reason Okta spent $6.5B on Auth0
What's wrong with Yubikey?
gscho··on Choose Boring Technology (2015)
I enjoy reading this each time it gets posted but can we please get TLS enabled? It's so easy these days.
gscho··on Upptime – GitHub actions powered uptime monitor
This is exactly what I think when I see projects like this. How does a project this dumb end up with 6.8K stars!
gscho··on Slack’s Outage on January 4th 2021
> our dashboarding and alerting service became unavailable.

Sounds like the monitoring system needs a monitoring system.

gscho··on Show HN: Reddit Wallstreetbets Top Leaderboard
Everyone here seems to be complaining about how some tickers are wrong due to naive matching. If you're smart, you will look at this list for tickers that you don't recognize and then go try and view DD on /r/wsb. If you find some new DD that is good you might find yourself a really good stock play. Thanks for sharing!
gscho··on How hard should I push myself?
This is a strange way to look at it. Do you live your life as a wild animal? There are many things wild animals DO do that would be insane to do as a human.
gscho··on Gist.cafe – Execute Gists of Python Node Deno C# Dart Swift Go Kotlin Java VB F#
Or Gist.cafe needs to be at least written in rust and advertise that as a feature.
gscho··on History of Tcl (2009)
The last paragraph answered my question:

"Tcl continues to be heavily used as an embedded scripting language, a domain where it still seems to be the best alternative"

gscho··on History of Tcl (2009)
When is using TCL the right choice? For example ruby is a good choice for building a web app and fortan is great for science. How is TCL typically used?
