Thank you! That's exactly what it is. Instead of presenting you 1000 results (or 0) which you have to manually skim through, it generates 1 result as a summary. And even if there i…

I know, but they didn't.

Remember the OOP Hype 20 years ago? I'm still cleaning shit up from then in our codebase when everyone used patterns after skimming through the GoF book without even knowing why ..…

I'm a german software developer working for a japanese corporation in a german subsidiary. I agree with pretty much everything in your post. Especially the exhausting chain of appr…

Privatization and capitalism.

Just don't use animated gifs inbetween text.

I've been selfhosting for like dunno 10-15 years. Cheap kimsufi box, opensmtp, dovecot, later then rspamd, done. Never really had a problem. At one point telekom.de blocked my mail…

"void linux" is a great distro if you want BSD-like but still linux. It also uses runit instead of systemd.

Fully agree. Also, jq exists, a simple example how open and simple interfaces (text streams) allow for extensibility. There is a reason why so much is built on top of "simple termi…

Probably not, I'm just wondering why a C++ toolchain is supposed to handle this though.

> That means you have a mix of FORTRAN, ada, c, rust, some custom internal corporate language, and so on all mixed with the C++. If your build system cannot handle that mess i'm no…

Maybe if you used a typesafe language, you wouldn't have to track down 100 other more significant problems (:

I work for a Japanese company and if you've ever worked with them you know they go crazy with testing (often automated). I get bugreports like this constantly. And while you might …

"Got it!"

TBF, everyone hates these cryptic errors :)

It's my impression that people tend to underestimate "junior engineers" in the C++ world. I'm always impressed at conferences that there are so many young people holding presentati…

I miss my childhood :(

It's worse, turns out in the end it's just 0s and 1s.

I absolutely agree. I'm also self-hosting all sorts of stuff, including mail (opensmtpd, dovecot) and never really had a problem. At some point a mail to telekom.de was refused by …

Which is my fetish.

Same here. A test email to my google account indicates it passed DKIM.

Yeah, everybody does it with wordpress now.

I completely agree. At work we still use SVN, so I'm used to TortoiseSVN which is OK imo. Now for GIT there's TortoiseGIT, but it was such a bad experience. The TortoiseSVN backgro…

This! If I had to choose between the two snippets I would have taken the loop based one without a second though, because of its simplicity. The second snippet is what usually happe…

Now make a TIL/Tk and I'm sold!
