Yeah the drive spam started for me last year or the year before. It took a break but in the last couple months has returned with a vengeance.

I had the Slack google drive integration and I needed to mute it because it was couple doc invites every few hours.

It really depends on what bit of computer science you are learning.

C++ is definitely past its prime and has been surpassed in many areas by other languages but there are still a bunch of domains where it is the primary language.

Comparing anything to C++ is a very low bar.

I have rarely encountered issues in rust. Most rust crates stick to semver so you know when there will be a breaking change. My rust experience with Cargo can only be described as problem free(though I only develop for x86 linux).

As for pip freeze and virtualenv things start to fall apart especially quickly when you require various C/C++ dependencies (which in various parts of the ecosystem is a lot) as well as different python versions (if you are supporting any kind of legacy software). This is also assuming other people working on the same project have the same python yadda yadda the list goes on, its not great.

Go is getting used in places where Java would have been used in the past.

Java complaints go down, Go complaints go up.

Smol is essentially that iirc.

Though I have not used it extensively.

For library code thiserror has been by far the best experience, sure I can write out the error code manually but why would I waste my time pumping out boiler plate.

The combination of thiserror and anyhow have been my go to for nearly 3 years without issue.

"New Look" is usually a synonym for shrinkflation.

Cool, they should start now.

As a python dev, pythons multiprocess/multithreading story is one the largest pain points in the language.

Single threaded performance is not that useful while processors have been growing sideways for 10 years.

I often look at elixir with jealousy.

People building language tooling often use the language itself, even if it is not very suitable for the task at hand.

This happens because the tooling often requires domain knowledge which they have and if they set out to write tooling for a language they tend to be experienced in that language.

We used hg when I started at my current position.

From a developer stand point the experience was better but all the tooling and integrations are git based so we switched.

In North America you would be more likely to encounter a panini press.

I have seen that fancy horizontal mitsubishi toaster on youtube but never one in store.

I don't keep up to date on all the k8s changes but a couple years ago wasnt the recommendation not to have your databases in k8s at all?

What has changed between now and then where putting postgres into k8s is an option?

Does the Postgres operator handle all the statefullness requirements and scheduling things that might be unique to pg?

It doesn't help that it feels like pythons async ecosystem doesn't really know how it works. There is all sorts of blocking code in python async libraries and no one seems bothered by it.

I guess it could be that they just don't care about this type of thing to begin with and have no idea why they are using async other than they heard "it is faster". Meanwhile I am pulling my hair out trying to squeeze a more reqs/s out of an on premise server.

Aha that might be their target but young urban professionals are not likely to be the largest demographic.

That demographic prefers Starbucks, and more likely some hip 3rd wave place over timmies.

Of course?

How else would they know which laws in which locales are most profitable to skirt.

I am sure AirBNB has one for the same reason.

Those look really cool.

How do they work in practice? Do they get vandalized a lot? Do people actually charge their devices with them?

Aha I think you mean Rails, there can't be anyone left using it for anything outside of that.

Aw come on there was a whole two hours that this post was about Go before I showed up.

You gotta give the people what they want!

Having learned some Rust in the last few years (coming from python) I now want sum types everywhere. Anything less is a disappointment.

I like and use poetry, it generally just works.

It is however slow as molasses and its error messages are sometimes worse than a stack trace.

I have no idea as I don't use the cartridges myself but I think the point is to keep them away from moisture so a closed container with ethanol or food grade oil or whatever would probably work as well.

Aha you can totally cut yourself with a safety razor (unless you mean the Mach 3 and not what this article is calling a double edged razor which has historically been called a "Safety razor" )

You can get the cartridges to last quite a while if you strop them (as best you can) and keep them away from moisture when not in use. I have heard of some people just putting them in a tiny glass of mineral oil.

That said for as often as I shave, a couple times a week, I switched to a safety razor and got a sampler of double sided blades years ago. I am just about out of blades now and you can get 100 for like 10$.

I am pretty sure you can follow users and have their posts show up in some sort of feed but I think it might be a Reddit 2.0 thing and the UI is such trash that I never go there if I can help it.

The largest stumbling block is typically when the machine has 2 GPUs.

If it is just a normal Intel with integrated graphics / ultra-book it will work out of the box with distros like Ubuntu.

You may not be wrong, in fact you are very likely right, but this is not an argument.

The larger an org gets the more likely it is to do weird things to mitigate organizational difficulties be them budget, human or otherwise.

Those types of things rarely show up in postmortems for obvious reasons.

People around here love to pile on Mozilla for every perceived slight or misstep but they rarely have any ideas on how Mozilla is supposed to fund itself.

Some of the ire is earned but I have yet to see how Mozilla is supposed to fund Firefox development without that google search bar.

It is fine for what it is however all the large tech companies have some comparable offering(Google Drive, Icloud, OneDrive) for which the barrier to entry is much lower.

Rust definitely loves a good zer0ver, for better and worse.
