They (re)wrote most of the client SDKs on a Rust core, but the Temporal server is still written in Go.

The site loads fine for me. See also: https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/temporal.io

Putting work in a queue is only the start. Most organizations start there and gradually write ad hoc logic as they discover problems like dependencies, retries, & scheduling. Depen…

Would "we screwed up by blindly trusting ChatGPT" annoy you less? Because that's how I read it. Or more specially, given the context: "We were in a rush to translate a bunch of cod…

Line 56 is executed as the file is loaded. Simplified, the line is essentially: id = Column(default=str(uuid.uuid4())) As written, a UUID is generated once and used to set a class-…

The author defined fair in a pretty industry standard way: > One user should not be able to block another's work. A multi-tenant architecture implies over committing resources to a…

It actually uses Flex/Bison, and does take advantage of the extended features they provide.

Was just going to say, they're merely making more obvious a situation that has long existed. But most people don't bother checking if packages they depend on are part of `main` or …

> Why would you decouple the change from its context? The issue is the context. At work, we require a link to the issue/story because it makes SOC2 audits much easier. The commit m…

Experience has shown that often “worse is better”. Go does an amazing job of balancing complexity and power. I haven’t seen a ”better” language that isn’t either slower, harder to …

In Go, `rune` is an alias for `int32` and is used to indicate the value is a Unicode "code point". For characters in the ASCII range, that means it's just a character encoded using…

> Fake crypto is not, as far as I know, a problem. As it happens, crypto-less cryptocurrency is very much possible as demonstrated by the OneCoin scam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Goramit! You've reminded me Firefly was killed too ruttin quickly.

Unfortunately that's not necessarily true. There are plenty of examples of prosecutorial over reach and unfair sentencing because our laws were written by people who fundamentally …

As someone who watched this bit if history unfold, and someone who diagnosed similar issues "back in the day", I see it as an example of sitting around the virtual water cooler tra…

> Figuring out problems like this when nobody else can and saving the day makes you feel like a wizard. You're right. It was an awesome intellectual high each time. But only the fi…

They’re not required to stay at the old employer, they’re just not allowed to start at the new employer. Cold comfort for anyone with bills to pay, but they aren’t being targeted b…

My perspective on the piece is completely different, and I think you're being unfair. Clearly your experience was painful, and I can understand why you hear echos in the author's e…

> Stockholm syndrom much? Yes, but not how you'd imagine. I spent years as a hard core Linux fanboy. Advocating for Linux. Declaring Linux the future when many thought Windows woul…

There is so much truth to what you say. I used Linux exclusively from January 2000 until April 2012. A lot has changed in that time, but out of all the changes the three I'm most t…

You've made the mistake of expressing an unpopular opinion, so you're getting down voted. I strongly dislike proprietary software, but you raise valid concerns that should be consi…

Although the author says his advice is for people "building new infra at large companies", there's certainly a number of points that apply to a larger audience. For example: > Meas…

One of our lead developers used it at the height of cloud hype. You could always tell which pages of our internal wiki he had edited recently. Amusing at first, but I got tired of …
