can you elaborate on what you mean by "C++ing"?

This is a bummer. I don't particularly like Pulumi but use it anyways because for my use cases being able to write actual code is really impactful. Sucks to see fewer options in that space

I love JetBrains and hate vscode, but Cursor was such a huge productivity boost that I ended up switching. Unfortunately none of the JetBrains plugins (Junie, the older AI Assistant, Windsurf/codeium, etc) come close yet :(

its called a resume?

There's a definite UX problem imo with having to manage protobuf synchronization between repos.

But the majority of these criticisms seem really superficial to me. Who cares that the API is inconsistent between languages? Some languages may be better suited for certain implementation styles to begin with.

Also regarding the reflection API I was under the impression that the codegenned protobuf code directly serializes and didn't reflect? Thrift worked that way so maybe I'm confused.

https://online-go.com/ is the easiest place to get started as a western beginner. The far more active go servers are Asian and have a higher barrier to entry in terms of registration, downloading the client, and dealing with poor localization. (Fox Weiqi, Tygem, etc.)

Thankfully pg isn’t in charge of foreign policy, because it seems like he can’t distinguish performative UN votes from reality. Would love to see how some of these countries would vote if it actually meant anything.

Why is this a surprise? Dating app success is about your ability to market yourself and stand out from the crowd.

“logically-minded and clever tech folks” is even too generous. Keep in mind the only barrier to entry to post here is the ability to write moderately complete sentences.

you mean 14.4k - 1400 baud was outdated far before that

which, while better than the native macos experience, is really clunky compared to i3.

Recumbents are more efficient than regular bikes too but it turns out nobody rides them because they make you look like a complete dweeb.

lol fixed. thanks

I’ve lived in SF since 2007. OP is likely factually accurate about where he lives, which is one of the worst blocks in SF. I’ll add that this was the case in 2007 as well, I wouldn’t say that 7th and Mission has gotten significantly better or worse over the years. It was likely slightly nicer when OP moved in, but that was the exception, not the historical norm.

The main thing is that OP then uses that to generalize about the state of the entire city. This makes it difficult to actually have a reasonable conversation about what is working and what isn’t in SF because everything reverts to the binary “sf is/isn’t a shithole” argument. In OPs case, it actually exposes the reality behind a lot of these “random tech blogger leaving SF” stories where they don’t actually know much about the city or appear to have much of a social life outside of tech that would expose them to other parts of the city. In SF there are tons of places to live that aren’t “single family homes 4 miles from downtown” - the city is 7x7 square miles.

your article doesn’t include the term “doom loop”, you may want to edit it to add that in

Why not you?

facts

LOL of course he doesn’t.

This one is especially laughable, nothing could be further from the truth

Umm Threadripper CPUs have historically been on their own sockets/mobo platforms. They aren’t drop-in replacements for the mainstream CPUs. The grandparent comment was wondering if we’d get Threadrippers in this generation, which has nothing to do with “this product segment,” whatever that means

I make use of all the cores on my Threadripper regularly for multi-process parallelism. Large compiles regularly saturate all my cores. Development against multiple Kubernetes clusters also makes it beneficial to have a ton of cores.

So there is definitely a use case, it’s just maybe not for you

this article is hilarious:

1. go generics do this one thing 2. therefore they are good

Go generics are better than no generics but they're still limited, and that frustrates me.

What he was getting out of it was that he was/is addicted to Twitter, and has an outsized view of its overall importance and value.

IME it’s more about selecting a group that is the most to be likely receptive to the particular argument/narrative/story you’re trying get the jury to accept

I'm not a Rust zealot but even I recognize that this blog post (which is about the difficulty about writing generic library code wrt lifetimes + Rust async) is pretty much a meme now that's thrown around without any sort of context.

Can you explain how this blog post relates to the difficulty of using Rust for writing a window manager?

agreed. My favorite office environment was a cube farm, and I’d argue that it was less “soulless” than the myriad open offices I’ve worked at since because people actually personalized their spaces.

Go to a bar and you’ll find out

true though

Unless you are at the top echelon of ICs at your org (principal engineer or something equivalent), I guarantee you that you are viewed by your organization as nothing more than a replaceable "resource". To think otherwise is inexperience, or delusion. If you ever get the opportunity to observe what goes on during org-wide planning or engineer leveling, it'll be a bit of a wake up call when you see how little anyone cares about you as an individual.

bro you have no place to talk to tell people to “go back to Reddit” after posting that comment. “like typing the N word in all caps” what on earth are you even talking about?

I switched to Sidebery (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sidebery/) over Tree Style Tabs, I like it better.
