It’s hard to answer without specifics but languages shouldn’t require you to determine whether it’s safe to use an api in an async context or whether it will hang your app. I imagine some of the sharp edges you might have run into are becau

This is fantastic progress for CPython. I had almost given up hope that CPython would overcome the GIL after first hitting its limitations over 10 years ago. That being said I strongly believe that because of the sharp edges on async style

Segfaults with no use of “Unsafe” equivalents in managed languages can give immediate indication it’s not a code problem.

I believe the driver silently swapped the textures to lower quality ones that looked worse but gave a performance boost.

That’s not my experience but it’d be interesting to from others on the matter.

TR in the US makes sockets harder to use, but I have never heard anyone complain about TR in the UK, as the earth/ground pin is always present, and is physically longer than the live and neutral, so mechanically it is reliable and unno

The shutter prevents someone (including children) shoving something metal into the live/hot. I have never heard of it failing. Newer US outlets (TR/tamper resistant) are way more finicky because of the optional ground pin. Stickin

It at least has the virtualization framework now. There’s a product called Anka that plugs into Jenkins and lets you deploy macOS VM images as build agents on top of physical Apple hardware. While slower than containers, and limited to 2 VM

Pump filling times should be compared with DC-fast charging times as L2 is normally what you do at home when you don’t care too much about how long it takes. F150 will DC fast charge 15% -> 80% in “around 32 minutes”. Level 2 takes 10 ho

While it’s more how they are used, imo optional is abused to the point it adds complexity. You don’t avoid handling null, but now you have to deal with present or not. Therefore you’ve gone from 2 states to 3. Use of value or null is simple

I always choose the “essential cookies only” option. This is normally harder than accepting all cookies, but it is getting easier over time. I rarely see a site that has essential-only.

When looking for a reverse proxy that is performant on Windows and Linux around 5 or 6 years ago the options were very limited. Traefik is what we ended up using. I haven’t checked recently but at the time nginx on Windows used select() and

The kubernetes plug-in for Jenkins works well for us, and as the checkout/clone happens in the pod you don’t have the workspace bind mount problem. We are using docker-in-docker at the moment but looking at buildah. We do parallel wind
