Jsonnet is pretty nice but the library support isn't quite as good. There are some nice libraries for yaml that do round trip processing for example so you can modify a yaml programmatically and keep comments. Yaml certainly has some w

I wonder if it will ever be practical or economical to have humans and machines driving together on the roads we have now though. Maybe we'll skip that step and go to robot-only roads with more stuff built into the actual roads. On Mus

They just haven't done the "now monitise it" step in the vibe-coding journey.

The goal isn't to use AI, though, it's to be productive. Maybe for you AI + writing support tools to improve your workflow makes you more productive and that's great! For me, for the kind of work I'm currently doing, I&#

Why dumb down your work worse because the machine can't understand it?

> From the perspective of the traditional server business, such a developer is unfortunately often seen as rather helpless—someone who needs assistance with everything, can’t run their own database, and has no idea what a nameserver is.

That isn't always true, there's plenty of times where companies push features that users don't want. No Chrome users have been clamouring for more ads and more invasive tracking, for example.

I've used graylog the most so that's what it looks like to me :P. I like how you can do a bunch of extraction stuff right there in the query interface though, that's awesome. It seems like a very thoughtful UI.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't set up your own mirror regardless, it costs peanuts and it's much faster

That picture at the beginning is a high quality troll, I spent ages looking at it before I read the caption: "The team set up traps in vegetation areas like this one to capture Mount Lyell shrews."

It's a bit more effort but it just can't be beat for documentation.

Check out ImHex, I think that's an example of where it works.

I certainly don't claim to be an expert, but I have a hunch that getting to the point where performance becomes a significant factor (in the success or failure of a product) isn't going to be about the choice of language. I also t

I don't think using Zig over Python is gonna have the biggest impact in making your next big company successful. It's a drop in the ocean compared to the quality of people you have to actually design and build it.

Microsoft are expert at hiding the strings. I prefer obvious strings if there have to be strings attached.

I'm charitably reading it as "if I must develop on a Mac, this is a great way" :)

The language has grown on me a bit. I initially hated it but a lot of my pain was not actually the language but the lack of good docs for the standard library. Still struggle with the tracebacks though. It's painful when things go wron

My (somewhat sarcastic) comment was just that Apple hardware is more expensive than Linux/Windows hardware. If you use Linux then I would say the docker experience is quite good. I wonder if Linux hardware was an option; seems odd to r

I love functional languages but I'm not sure how JavaScript could be considered as a functional language (at least if functional means something like haskell, or elm). Functions-as-values isn't enough, otherwise Python could be ca

I found this odd too. It reminded me of a book I read ages ago, sci-fi fantasy where there is a species that is very long-lived but they have a finite memory. Maybe if your memory is a year or two long then GitOps would seem to mean k8s dep
