My thoughts exactly. :(

DEI programs can be counter productive. The incorrect biases of the past can’t be fixed with opposite biases. Merit based equal representation should be the ideal state. For 10 pos…

I wonder what makes someone go such a great length to bash a language, any language. I say bashing, because even the few valid points in the post are not written in a constructive …

That should not be an issue, unless the code is written in notepad. As for interfaces, a better approach is to return struct and accept interface in your functions wherever it is p…

A tiny package that makes it somewhat more convenient to work with errors from batch processes where signatures don't allow custom return types. I personally found it quite ergonom…

It may not be a good tool for communicating between services implemented in different languages. But i’d happily use it to save stuff to disk where database is overkill.

Thanks for the great write up! I’d watch this as a series or movie

Britain isn’t really poor as a country if we look at all the money/wealth in it. The distribution of the wealth is very one sided though. Recent decades of law making favouring the…

You can live in London and never miss a car, but try it anywhere outside of big cities and it’ll be a different story. Not to mention the brutal train ticket prices.

“Forgot” to read the reviews before starting to watch.. no review can change my mind now: I like the show very much. Epic.

Log the things that require a human to fix something every time they happen (Include useful info that’s needed for fixing). Create metrics of the rest: things that show patterns. T…

I get the convenience part but the waste reduction itself is already worth the switch. Yeah your shaving cartridge or flaking teflon pan might be a drop in the ocean (perhaps liter…

I had bad luck with the top spec 13" DELL XPS (2021) - Fan was loud, and audio jack randomly failed to detect headphones. Webcam was mediocre, audio quality was really really poor.…

“in LIFO order” - made my lunch break

I feel that the comparisons are quite one dimensional (crushes Rust, Go etc..) picking one or two metrics. Why is the memory footprint almost fully ignored in the article? Applicat…

Please don’t specify ISO8601 as the date format. That standard embodies dozens of formats. Use one specific format instead like RFC3339.

I would be interested to hear an expert opinion about whether such arrangement falls under 'unfair contract terms' descibed by the Office of Fair Trading: https://assets.publishing…

Or maybe, just maybe, it is way simpler.. How big is the temptation for a person just before retirement on a 'sinking ship' to stuff their pockets while possible?

I agree to me it seems like they're admitting that the ship is sinking. The CEO is over 60yo, unlikely to take on another gig after this. The simplest explanation is often the corr…

Made me think what else besides masks.. e.g. does operating hairdryers affect virus survival on suspended airborne particles? Or the chemicals they use? (Hair spray etc..) I want t…

Congratulations! Just got my hands on it recently so can't give too valuable feedback just yet. The contents promise to be a real good help with bootstrapping and scaling a product…
