You can find all the problems of Software in Woodworking, except that sometimes, using an axe is a legal and well-suited move.

I don't know, my experience with mega SLOC projects were Java, so verbosity was also a thing. Go's verbosity is usually found in multiples (if err), not in long forms (int[] arrayOfIntegersWithValuesOneToFive = new ArrayFactory().

Some google meet features are chrome only (background blur, picture in picture). I can't say I have noticed much else, so I use chrome for gsuite and firefox for everything else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be fair, most million plus LOC projects match “misfortune” and “nightmare”.

Very common in France if you ever drive by. Usually sold as a small 30cm^3 plant which will probably grown up to 1.5m in diameter the first year. I used to have 7 in 12m2. It’s also possible to grow from seeds, which you can buy online. It

The brought-in-for-some-purpose, escape-to-bush, become-feral, become-pest worked also for cats, dogs, horses ... up-to camels. I am not aware of Australian Feral Elephants but it may exist.

... then however, how do you feel about tech debt with Rust? My feeling was that go, rust and such left a lighter burden on the future than say ruby. Do you think you will need a major rewrite soon?

Maybe 15 years ago or so, I wrote the original “useless gaps” patch for dwm, because it felt packed, especially between different window styles (terminal, web browser, file manager for instance). The concept was new to tiling managers but q

Apple has deep pockets and good lawyers. High reward, low probability. A judge may decide whether malice or stupidity led to the release of such commoditized trackers. I feel like it’s legitimate.
