The status page was often down when GH was down, back in the days.

It's all individual. That's like saying writing only happens when you know exactly the story to tell. I love open a blank project with a vague idea of what I want to do, and then just start exploring while I'm coding.

And they're now running all environments on a single machine! The bigger blast radius the better, right? Right...?

They still haven't solved shadowing.

  a, err := foo()
  b, err := bar()
  if err != nil { // oops, forgot to handle foo()'s err }

"The Macintosh on which I type this has 64MB: Unix was not designed for the Mac. What kind of challenge is there when you have that much RAM?"

Love it.

Had I seen PT5M I would have never guessed it meant five minutes, so you would need to refer to the RFC then.

Yeah, forcing her to use Discord just to get his attention.

Did my master's full time while working full time. Never had better grades before or after, but sacrificed a lot and nothing stuck. Can't remember barely anything I learned during my master's.

This webpage could be a few lines html and css, but uses 172 node modules. 4240 files. The repo is 17.6 MB. We Deserve Much Better.

Why don't you read the article to find out? https://github.com/QiushiWu/QiushiWu.github.io/blob/main/pap...

Every time I think about the climate and events like these, I'm reminded of when it rained for two million years - "About 232 million years ago, during a span known as the Carnian age, it rained almost everywhere. After millions of years of dry climates, Earth entered a wet period lasting one million to two million years." (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03699-7)

Unfortunately the url gave it away, or it would have been an exciting read.

This is just so uninspiring. And I grew up with these colorless, times new roman 90's web pages.

Oh you'd be surprised. Here's a few (tld and target market)[0]:

    .kim - Kim (Korean surname)
    .lol - LOL: laughing out loud 
    .organic - organic gardeners, farmers, foods, etc. 
    .plumbing - plumbing businesses

I don't get why I would get a smaller cut of the profit just because I save less for my children than Americans do. I should be paid what is reasonable for the work I do, not how much money I spent on education.

For Google, it's better when it's my CPU doing the work, than theirs.

"It is, quite literally, a site where millions of people post daily photos of their dinners."

If you follow people who post daily photos of their dinners, daily photos of dinners is what you get. That's certainly not how my IG feed looks.

I really agree with some points. In my project, we moved from Java/Spring because it was just too much magic happening behind the scenes. We wanted something that was just clear and straight to the point. We should be able to read the code and it should do exactly that, not something else because you annotated the class. I just wish it wasn't so bloated with error handling. It's difficult to see the actual code among all the if err != nil (even though GoLand does a pretty good job at hiding them). Something like this?

  f := os.Open("file") or {
      return err
  }

Archer: 'cause you never think of those other two as having their shit together.

Because of ML...

The streaming services they use, e.g. Spotify are more resource intensive today than they were when Sonos first came out. They are not just playing a PCM/Wav file, you know.

Would have been nice if we could scroll through the pages and not having to use the arrow keys.

RIPE, there's this story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Would suggest reading it.

Agree. To learn all of this as a single developer is not an easy task either. These are real frontend, backend and devops languages, frameworks and tools. It takes time to learn.

I mainly use social media when waiting for the bus, on the metro, etc. It's nice to get some updates, but I very rarely share anything so I never fish for likes or compare myself to others. But I'm so happy that I grew up in the 80s-90s, I can't imagine how stressful it would be to have social media as a 12-15 year old...

It's an unpopular opinion here, but you are absolutely right.

I think it's especially popular in the US where they've always had long commutes. I work remotely from time to time, and it works fine when I have a specific task to focus on, but I've never managed to replace the spontaneous talks or meetings by a whiteboard with any meeting tool (be it Slack, Hangouts, Skype, Webex, you name it).

In Scala you can do this pretty neatly:

  url match {
   case GitHubUrl => config.github
   case TwitterUrl => config.twitter
   case _ => defaultUrl
  }
