“Improve documentation”. If they make it like the nixos documentation, that’ll make the framework documentation worse.

Ayaya ayaya!

At least one good thing is coming out of it. More companies should be spending money on the python foundation.

Just put an MCP on it and let the AI play the game at the slowest speed ever

Ah, the “only closed source should make money but I will demand opensource compete with it” take. Love it.

That could’ve used an example of debugging recursion to show how useful the repl is. I knew about the repl and have used it to find duplicate packages for example, but what it doesn’t help with is finding out how stuff was added to environment.systemPackages and, most importantly, why.

The most glaring omission in nix is the lack of a debugger with conditional breakpoints. Nix is interpreted, is it not? Shouldn’t it be possible to have breakpoints?

My memory of it is how unnecessarily arcane it is. I had (and still have) a better understanding of assembly than COBOL. COBOL has hundreds of keywords. And while an instruction set can have thousands of instructions, COBOL still felt more difficult.

Also, nearly any executable can be decompiled to assembly. If you understand assembly, it has a plethora of uses. COBOL can make big bank, but it currently has very limited use.

I’d much rather write in assembly than COBOL

Haven’t heard or read about it since it was kicked out of the kernel! Does it still exist?

Ho boy. Don’t ruin the good ol’ memory of the dude. Some things should be left untouched, just like the movies you watched as a child.

No thanks. This sounds entirely plausible and he gig economy should be highly regulated. I want my stuff delivered, yes, but I want it delivered by somebody who isn’t doing it as a last measure to survive and it won’t get them out from the heel they are under.

We need whistleblowers like this. If you’re a software developer and see shady business practices, fucking say something. If not to your superior, then to an authority. Companies shouldn’t get away with this unethical behavior. If even one thing is true of what OP is saying, they should be fucking sued and forced to improve or die.

Microsoft will add 1 million lines of Rust code per month to their repositories and replace all C/C++ code by 2030. C/C++ doesn’t stand a chance!

(At least according to LinkedIn)

Yep, I enjoyed the article. Unfortunately, it won’t convince zealots. Reason rarely does.

Good luck. Isn’t a lot of ffmpeg in assembly? I wonder how that will be handled. If faster code can be compiled that’d be crazy.

Big tech loves Apache and MIT 💕

Kink? Wat?

Just like all “principles” they shouldn’t be blindly applied. Simply forcing SOLID upon a codebase won’t magically make it better. In fact, I’ve seen codebases that “strictly follow SOLID principles” being terrible to understand, debug, follow, and optimise.

There will always be blind and zealous followers who will vehemently “protect” a codebase (or anything really) from impure modifications. They are the worst to deal with.

I was expecting circular pixels which is what they are on CRTs. Was not expecting non-square rectangles. wtf?

Where’s his wheel? 😋

Beautiful ferris though. That’s a very nice present.

Dumb, ignorant people voting for dumb, ignorant people gets you dumb, ignorant people at the top. What a surprise!

If the well is full of shit, you’ll only be pulling shit to the top.
