I agree it's totally worth it! I'm lucky that I have just enough free time to debug these things and I work with a few excellent Linux devs who have helped me with a few things. Thanks for understanding the spirit of my point ab

In case anyone wants to point me in the right direction or give me some pointers, I’m a lifelong windows developer who switched to Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 lts) on my personal desktop and a laptop (I’m fully in on the switch) and it’s not great.

I would love separate variable initialization vs assignment. I know that ship has sailed. It's interesting, I never cared about that until I did "Crafting Interpreters" and realized how separating those two actions helps clar

Thanks for the info. Using different containers for build and test vs the packaged app makes a lot of sense. > easier if you don't have to worry about compatibility with the target environment. I develop on Windows and deploy onto W

I like Black and Pylance, which is backed up pyright. Pylance and VS Code for dev time analysis (even though it has a few annoying issues like auto-importing the wrong paths) and pyright for "build" and test time analysis. I set b

Sorry for focusing on such a small part of your comment. I’m learning about language design (as much as I can) and I don’t really understand what you mean by “double dispatch like Python”. I think (maybe soon thought) that Python has single

One way to know if it’s a .Net client is you can run ILDasm or DotPeek against the windows binary and see if it decompiles it.

I switched to using RipGrep at https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep It's native, really really fast, supports regex, and has nice defaults. The only catch is you need to understand its default ignores if you&#x27

Thanks, this makes a lot of sense. I'd like to think I was slowly closing in on this. Mine isn't as clean as what you put but I made the data within each of the enum possibilities a discrete struct. pub enum Expr { Binar

Thanks for the great and clear explanation, it makes more sense now! (a lot more sense) I didn’t know that Rust support for a LLVM target isn’t free and didn’t realize micro-controller targets are so diverse. Very cool.

Explaining my experience - I haven't done any hardware or firmware programming besides messing around with Ardunios. I have written a low amount of C (tiny VM for toy language) and a moderate amount of Rust (a couple thousand lines for

There is a low probability I would rent a space like that. If I lived somewhere close enough to have deserted woods (where there could be multiple cabins with trails) within a 20 or 30 minutes drive I think that implies a low cost of land.

I completely agree. Because I think this area is really interesting I'm going to add a few more thoughts. The first web service I built used a table inside the production database for structured logging and I had one kind of log event

Really easy and good homegrown logging. Use a structured logging library, this is key because it lets you easily filter on the properties attached to a log event. Then log those to a database. If you don't have a ton of volume and want

Can you help me out and define what dimensionaltity means for data? And what high dimensionaltity is? I’m somewhat familiar with monitoring/telemetry but haven’t heard that term before.

It sounds like you are understandably worried about it going down. Standing up another copy is a great idea, and a great exercise in making sure your company understands how to build and deploy it from scratch. When you do that you also nee

If I have read his example correctly - he's not modifying the object he is looping over. car_ids is externally defined and he is using a loop to exhaustively test other objects and take an action on them, which is adding them to the ex

It's too easy as a catch-all to say "everything can always be priced in". Right now 48 states (I can't find anything saying all 50) are in a state of emergency, which prohibit raising prices more than around 10% or 20%.
