jatone··on Does the Bronze Garbage Collector Make Rust Easier to Use?
defer is tied to function scope because that is the usecase it was designed for. go also has finalizers executing right before deallocation.

jatone··on Ubisoft's unprecedented “exodus” of developers
agreed, I'm excited to see what happens. its taken those 40 years for globalization and women in the work force to be integrated and absorbed. we're just now seeing the labor markets plateau.
jatone··on Cloudflare Experiencing Latency Issues
sounds like you do. ;)
jatone··on Trying Out Generics in Go
meme. its like the least annoying thing I deal with on a daily bases when programming. oh no... I have to handle an error....
jatone··on Pelosi defends stock trading by lawmakers. ‘We are a free-market economy’
salaries havent gone up because they've opted to decline the increase for themselves.

no one is denying they should be paid for their work we're wish to deny them the right to fuck over working americans to line their pockets.

they can easily pass a bill to fund lodgings for congress critters in DC if they wanted. it'd certainly be cheaper for americans than this corruption.

jatone··on Nature does not use propellers. So why do people?
dunno about you but the example image looks fact more complicated and likely to experience malfunctions than a propeller....
jatone··on Don't start with microservices – monoliths are your friend
> deploy in minutes without having to rebuild and deploy a giant monolith

that's a tooling issue not a monolith vs microservice issue.

tooling can allow the exact same speed of deployment for tiny background processing without the need to completely segment your code base.

jatone··on Why battery costs have plunged since 2010
location and structure matter in system design. even if the battery takes up more total space than an ICE no one is going to notice the car being 1 inch taller overall for consumer vehicles.
jatone··on Log4Shell update: second Log4j vulnerability published
a trivial false dichotomy. you can create plugin systems that do not allow modifying the runtime.

future reference: next time just firewall the network and see what blows up rofl.
jatone··on Suspension of the 15-minute wait for vaccination with mRNA vaccine for Covid-19
don't try to catch, try to cushion the fall. trying to catch can lead to both of you being injured. esp when there is a large size differential
jatone··on The battle of the computing clouds is intensifying
its not even valid for netflix anymore most likely.
jatone··on The battle of the computing clouds is intensifying
pure FUD. bugs happen decentralized systems can be even more problematic to resolve issues in due to their decentralized nature and the usual requirement that fixes be deployed system wide.
jatone··on Omicron variant more resistant to vaccine but causes less severe Covid: study
I havent seen any evidence covid is seasonal. it may become seasonal. but nothing in the past 2 years as indicated it is.
jatone··on Why general inheritance is flawed and how to finally fix it
flow control is always impacted by errors. rust and go just don't hide that on you with a giant 'go to random location in the stack' capability.
jatone··on Leaked Scripps records reveal automated mark-ups for hospital care
why would I go to the cheaper hospital when I can go to the more expensive and better hospital at the same cost to me (nothing, its the insurance companies problem).

price transparency does jack shit in such a market where the stakes are literally your health.

healthcare services do not compete on price they compete on quality of service.

the next step and what should have been the first step is a public option with a mandate that employers must offer it as one of the insurance coverages available. I'd even go further and say employers must offer public + 3 other private insurances and to opt out for an increase in base pay equal to what the employer contributes to the most expensive plan.

the natural pressures on the government to minimize wasteful spending on social services will take care of the rest as suddenly private insurance will have to compete with cheaper to you public insurance.

jatone··on Leaked Scripps records reveal automated mark-ups for hospital care
then you're ideological driven instead of results driven.
jatone··on Leaked Scripps records reveal automated mark-ups for hospital care
Indeed!
jatone··on Leaked Scripps records reveal automated mark-ups for hospital care
indeed I am, and yes I know.

I'm asserting even if it was implemented fully it won't do shit. I have insurance why would I give a shit about the prices? my employer pays the majority of the costs. its only going to incentives the uninsured to go shopping and they're a very small market.

thats precisely the problem. lack of choices in the insurance market where the incentives are not aligned.

jatone··on Leaked Scripps records reveal automated mark-ups for hospital care
we have that today. law was passed last year. its not going to do shit.
jatone··on Leaked Scripps records reveal automated mark-ups for hospital care
the fact you think insurance companies are accountable is laughable. last I checked I never could decide on what insurance provider my employer offered.

I see no difference between private insurance and government run except the government is constantly lambasted for overspending and medicare seems to have the lowest operating costs and payouts to healthcare providers.

which seems to be the exact metric you want.

edit: just move to a public option system and watch shit hit the fan in the market.

jatone··on An engineer fighting Texas’s ban on Israel boycotts
last i knew palentinians had no real political power in israeli and their treatment by the israeli government is precisely why you would boycott israeli goods and services.
jatone··on “Coding is basically just ifs and for loops.”
for loop goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
jatone··on Show HN: A tool to build real websites built exclusively in SVG
netlify jamspell almost has this it a builtin CMS js that talks directly to git hosts.
jatone··on Missouri found mask mandates work, but didn’t make findings public
when their refusal to do so in the public sphere endangers others. indeed they do need to justify it.
jatone··on WebGPU computations performance in comparison to WebGL
even in cloud environments you control the environment by choosing to use that service.
jatone··on WebGPU computations performance in comparison to WebGL
reality is opengl and vulkan are portable. but the fact youre on a server means you have control on the environment. not like you need to deal with every tom dick and harry system configuration.
jatone··on WebGPU computations performance in comparison to WebGL
good thing you're running on a server then.
