Re: PingCAP Talent Plan: Courses on writing distributed systems in Go and Rust
#14PingCAP seems like a really neat project conceptually, my only concern with it is the attitude and overall rudeness of the maintainers. Issues submitted are often closed without comment, or in a number of cases when they do comment it is either "do not matter" or "who cares" I hope they can change their outlook and succeed.
I am not associated with PingCap in anyway, but as an open source user & contributor myself, I find your comment quite offending. You raised the exact same issue 2 years ago on NH [1], that issue got fully addressed by both PingCap's core team member and other NH users. Without bringing in anything new to the problem being discussed, you chose to repeat the exact same stuff that has been fully addressed 2 years ago.…
I'm also not associated with Pingcap.
> You raised the exact same issue 2 years ago on NH, that issue got fully addressed by both PingCap's core team member and other NH users.
Not only was it fully addressed, but it was fully addressed in a polite manner which makes the OP's comment even more bizarre. I've evaluated Pingcap stuff before in the past and I've seen them posting on HN quite a few times as well. I don't think I've ever seen an instance of them being rude. In fact, their comments are usually quite informative and helpful.
Briefly looking into closed TiDB issues, I also see no instances of rudeness or issues being closed without comment.
OP, what is your motive for defaming Pingcap?
Some comments [1]:
"@winkmichael Thanks for your feedback! Could you send me the log of tidb-server?"
"The sets statements missing a , should be /! instead of /!."
"@winkmichael Sorry, I misunderstood your issue because the * is eaten by Markdown format. I clicked edit button, then got the original text.
The error message line 6 is the line of a single statement, not the file. So the statement that failed to parse is not included, probably it's the CREATE TABLE statement.
Do you still have that dump file?"
"@winkmichael we haven't heard anything from you on this issue in a long time, and we're unable to reproduce it without some more information, so I'm going to close it now. If you run into anything like this again, please open up a new issue and we'll be happy to take a look!"

How is one expected to use this site? Are there video lectures to follow along?
The schedule page has links to the lectures and assignments.

A quick look didn't didn't reveal any links to videos of lectures.

COS 418 from Princeton is really a great learning resource: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall18/cos418/i...

#18I've only looked at the first project in test-plan/rust, but it clearly contradicts the description in project.md. It should be virtually empty, with only tests and the student is supposed to write all the code needed for the tests to pass. But it actually contains all the needed code, it compiles and all tests are green. I don't quite get it, what's the "learning" part? Just looking at the code and trying to understand it?

#19Really fascinated that this material and my book--well one chapter of it--both cover implementing the Bitcast storage backend. It looks like I picked my example projects well :)

#20So many languages to learn and so little time
FOMO is hard to avoid, but try to go easy on yourself. Ultimately, they're just programming languages.
