Numbers. I’ve read thousands of resumes over the past few months, screened dozens of applicants, and experienced a wide variety of weirdness and fakes both in resumes and on screen…

LLM-driven application sites were not a thing in 2022 (used by both real humans and scammers).

Seconding. These days I will rarely talk to anyone without a verified LinkedIn or other presence like a clearly inhabited GitHub (and I’m not looking for hyperactivity by any means…

“Modern Compiler Implementation” by Appel is definitely worth a look. I read the ML version, and the code is really clean/readable (not sure about the C and Java versions).

The fact that Buck2 is written in a statically-compilable language is compelling, compared to Bazel and others. It's also great that Windows appears to be supported out of the box …

Does the library side of this provide an emulated socket API? The CheerJ docs [1] say: > Not yet. The main problem is that RuneScape requires low level network connections primitiv…

In practice it is POSIX-only, which is not viable in an organization where Windows needs to be a first class development and deployment platform. Running under cygwin or WSL is a n…

> Use a package management system, and explicit dependencies vcpkg strongly recommends using it as a submodule. But at least that would only be one submodule.

Really annoyed by the borrow checker? Use immutable data structures ... This is especially helpful when you need to write pure code similar to that seen in Haskell, OCaml, or other…

Skimming the docs, I was surprised to see that there appears to be no built-in support for foreign function calls to C libraries ("It's a bold strategy Cotton...") This makes more …

Displacing git is certainly impossible in the short term, but that is not the only conceivable goal. Building a sustainable community does not require git levels of success. A few …

This breaks any python package versions that install dependencies via ‘pip install’ from a pinned git+git URL. (For example: google-cloud-cpp 1.23, which was released about a year …

I would personally like to see less indexing of duplicate files! There are many things I’ve searched for which return 100s of results from independent checkin-uploads of big librar…

When I initially read the description, I thought this could provide a drop-in runtime-linked shared library stub, but looking deeper in the docs and examples it appears there is at…
