Technically it feels the same to me. Content-wise netflix is kind of a dumpster buffet, with a tons of meh stuff and a couple of really nice things. Disney has less content, but almost no low quality fluff.

It's easy to do things slowly, by the book, taking all the time in the world, while the world is waiting. It's part of the skill and mastery to know which corners to cut and which things are essential and which can be fixed later,

LN situation is not perfect, but improved greatly last year. With wallets like Breeze & Phoenix initial onboarding of new users to LN is quite painless because they offer in-flight inbound channel creation (for a tiny fee). So you can i

Seconded. Especially for Go, because it's mostly a lowest common denominator of language features it's not hard to write the code itself. The problem is that the module system is different and had plenty of changes along the years

Done that myself in the past. Can recommend. 20% cut, but feels like 50/50 weekend to workweek ratio indeed.

I'm not a Haskeler, but didn't they add affine/linear types recently that could help?

I would like to see this metric but where instead of substraction they should use division.

Oh, someone is fixing Go? Nice.

I used to play this game! I loved the aesthetics and it was a great showcase for D being suitable for games. For impatient, the game is now playable in the browser here: https://torustrooper.xyz/

PGP is terrible. Avoid if you can. I wish people focused on building simpler and more modern tools. In particular: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/100546/reusing-b... Having said that, if you need to u

Your laptop manufacturer doesn't care so it's buggy. Buy a Thinkpad, Zenbook, Dell XPS, System76 laptop or some model known to have good Linux support next time. Can't remember any problems like this in the last decade, but I

Around 2 thousands people die every day from heart diseases in the US, every day (635k annually). Not in extreme temporary conditions. That's a standard baseline, year after year like that. I wonder how many lives would been saved if w

I very dislike Cypress as well. This even model is sooo confusing, clumsy and error-prone that writing any non-trivial test is a challenge. Whole product uses async/await or Promises and suddenly you have to switch to this baroque mode

Agreed. Any recommendations of the tools to use? NixOS/Guix come to mind, k8s (thought I have a mixed feelings about it). Anything else worth keeping in mind?

Fantastic. The pace of introducing such a change speaks loudly how good the engineering around teams and product involved must be.

Main reason is - you're already proficient with Rust and enjoy using it. I don't think there's much borrow checker issues in data analysis code. You `.clone()` everywhere, and it's still going to fly fast. Some benefits:

Obviously (thought it seems not to you) free speech advocates like myself have no problems with different opinions being expressed . It doesn't mean other people have to agree with them. They can express they opposition and critique

One can work or not on something for whatever reason they want. Just spare us the long description of how other people are lesser human beings that should have their rights restricted for their own good, and how it's better this way.

Oh, look, another omniscient person protecting all the lesser human beings from the crime of wrongthink. So virtuous, moraly superior. What would we all do without them.

Hardware storage got really fast and cheap, but on the cloud it seems still super-slow and expensive. AWS's gp2 offers 3 IOPS/GB, and upgrading to something like io2 bleeds money really fast.
