I agree most of it doesn't, especially if it's about current events or captures the feeling of the era. My Cousin Vinnie is an example that holds up still. No current events, no ra…

> It’s like a world inside one’s head with a text-based interface. I had a co-worker describe it as a giant Linux playground. Another as ETL nirvana.

Every job on an HPC cluster should have a memory and CPU limit. Nearly every job should have a time limit as well. I/O throttling is a much trickier problem. I wound up having a sc…

Obligatory, Joel Grus: I don't like notebooks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jiPeIFXb6U And the slides; https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n2RlMdmv1p25Xy5thJUh...

The functional code isn't reassigning the same variable. The and/or have something that looks like an implicit return.

I have 5 and can say that this is the way.

Arch user here. These things work much nicer than any of the previous alternatives. Sure, kernel signing is a bit of a mess, but that's more of a product of how key-signing at a lo…

Same boat as the author here, except I switched from physics to software after year three. I had never heard of them until I was _years_ into software engineering. I think this is …

I think this is the case. Most of my family and friends use and like the various AI features that are popping up but aren't interested thinking about how to coax what they want out…

That's not the same type of bot net. Fail 2 ban simply is not going to work when you have a popular unauthenticated endpoint. You have hundreds of thousands of rps spread across th…

Oh I dunno. With cmake it really is pretty straight forward. You can pull from VCS, a tarball, even use a git submodule. If it's another Cmake project, that's the happy path. Easy …

Agreed. I describe that movie to people as "Spielberg, but not constrained by reality"

I could be wrong, but I think that term life insurance usually pays out but a whole life policy doesn't. At least that's been how my policies were.

And at one point glyphosate was less toxic as well.

While serving time in HPC I saw a set of ETL jobs that were written using awk and xargs that beat the pants off a lot of in house code on both a performance and a simplicity standp…

While I agree with the sentiment of that, it still seems a lot easier than escaping characters. I would probably opt for a mix. Control separation with new lines

It looks like it would just be be ctrl+^, which seems pretty straightforward.

> Go initially lacked generics And even though it has them now, the generics syntax is pretty clunky IMO.
