Check out his Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/thebreadcode I've been watching his videos for years now, he genuinely cares about his subject, and doesn't compromise for views. He's an engineer at heart, admits when he's wrong and updates and shares his knowledge. Thanks Hendrik!
I hope I didn't come off as too aggressive in my original post, I'm not trying to demand anything, or trying to act like I know anything they don't, I most certainly do not. I just love the language so much, I wish I could use it more. The linked issue doesn't show any traction, and other languages used for malware don't have this problem, so I (probably incorrectly) presumed there was a lack of interest to solve this. I apologize if I came off as demanding.
I wish they would take the antivirus issue on Windows more seriously https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17820
This issue alone means I can't use it at work, and I haven't put much time and thought into Nim as a whole because I could only use it in private toy projects.
I understand it's mostly the AV vendors fault and the devs shouldn't have to worry about a problem they haven't caused, but for me, this grinds real-life adoption of the whole thing to a halt.
What a great article. Like many commenters here, I was completely oblivious to the struggle and I appreciate it a lot more now.
Sorry for the choice words, but shit like this makes my blood boil. You're not trying to "keep our children safe" motherfucker, and you know it. You're trying to prevent people from being able to have private conversations, so your secret agencies can harvest all the data from everyone easily. To phrase it as "but think of the children" is instrumentalizing the actual victims of child abuse and you should be ashamed.
And it's all done in Nuxt.js/Vue
I've canceled my Humble Monthly a while ago. It's just another online game store at this point, there's nothing of the original spirit left. The amount they give to charity is tiny these days, and there haven't been any games I'm interested in in a long time. I'll buy at GOG tyvm.
I really hope the auto-update component doesn't have the same issue, otherwise Firefox is essentially dead on millions of computers owned by non-techies.
Wait, it isn't already? That's absolutely wild to me. It's probably just my biases talking, but I've never had a single employer or client who used anything by IBM, but nearly everyone uses AWS for something.
It's those megacorp whales, isn't it?
This is quite a bit more than "a single Docker container" though, isn't it? This is networking, SSL cert, traffic routing, secret management and a whole CI pipleline.
Of course it's looking complicated "for a single container", but if you wanted to deploy your app in a traditional server setup, the graph would look the same, if not worse.
Our builds are also still failing with multiple 404ing packages.
