> You are comparing Go to Python, JS, and C++, arguably the three most complex languages to build. No, I'm comparing to more than a dozen different languages that I've used commercially. And there were direct references there t

As someone who's written commercial software in well over a dozen different languages for nearly 40 years, I completely disagree. Go has its warts for sure. But saying the simplicity of Go is "just virtue signaling" is so far

Not just using it daily, but I have scripts I've written literally a decade ago, and which haven't been modified at all, which still work just as well as the day I wrote them. Whereas there's a whole plethora of Python projec

That’s only a modern day theory and feels somewhat retrofitted interpretation of the facts (from what I’ve seen when researching this myself). There are various spellings of the surname, since names often didn’t have a formal spelling in th

I wasn’t judging anyone. I was just saying Rust isn’t exactly flying under the radar.

Where I live we also call it “trump”. Which is why many of us never understood why people would claim that Donald Trump has a “powerful name”. However it did amuse use that a man full of hot air would be named after the expelling of warm bu

I was with you right up until “quietly doing it without much fanfare”. Personal opinions of Rust aside, it has gained so much fanfare that “rewrite it Rust” is now practically a meme.

I agree however the question asked was specifically about preference.

Same here. I find I need to listen to most of his albums a couple of times before I fall for them whereas Syro clicked first time.

Daft Punks first two albums weren't like that. They were a little darker and had a rawer production value with very simplistic (read: not very diverse) sounds running through them. To be clear, this isn't a dig at Daft Punk. I lov

You cannot explain it though. I could say I'm drawn to Aphex Twin because it all sounds really diverse but someone else would say they disagree and prefer rock music because Aphex Twin sounds really samey. The problem with conversation

Why do some people prefer Daft Punk to Led Zepplin? Or Tchaikovsky, Frank Sinatra, Taylor Swift, Bolt Thrower, Sex Pistols, Tupac or any other artist? People like what they like and are interested in what they're interested in. A thous

Oh I never meant any of my comments to undermine Docker. While I do have some specific frustrations with Docker, the same is true with any technology stack: Jails and Zones included. I'd never describe Docker as being a marketing gimmi

I was with you right up until this part: > The fact that it's 2022 and there's still people that are going "hur-dur Solaris zones, BSD jails amiright" as if any of those technologies have any relevance is ridiculous.

Running Docker on non-Linux platforms requires a Linux VM to run in the background. It's not as cross platform as people make out. The other container technologies can be managed via code too, that code can be shared to public sites. A

by laumars 4y ago
Making containers was easy long before Docker came along: - FreeBSD Jails - Solaris Zones - Proxmox (which was an abstraction over OpenVZ, back before LXC came along) In fact because of all of the above, I was a latecomer to Docker and didn

I can’t speak for the country you work in but here in the U.K. not every company has salary ranges and even those that do, a great many will try to negotiate salaries down rather than up (salaries are a businesses largest expense after all)

Running a business on an Apple II is at least as silly as running it on an iPad since any kind of hardware failure is going to be harder to quickly resolve (unless you’re the kind of business that has electrical engineers to hand. But even

The abbreviation convention on networking gear isn’t a good thing. It allows for typos to become completely different command, thus introducing unexpected behaviour. I’ve heard so many horror stories (and had some of my own too) because of

You can follow the same steps in Linux as you did for macOS too (OBS is also available for Linux, in fact that how I personally run OBS). The reason the Linux instructions are more verbose is because Linux also supports writing directly to

I assumed they meant older in terms of heritage. But it’s still an unfair comment given how nice ale is.
