People mention his bluntness, even rudeness; his propensity for swearing; his intolerance of fools and stupid questions, and blistering responses thereto; his fondness for good beer, apparently in large amounts, and his consequent antipathy for early mornings; his passion for the things he cared about, which often could spill over into anger… and his subsequent regret and apologies. I’ve done much the same, and had similar written about me.

And he was from Lancaster!? Next you’ll tell me there’s water at the bottom of the ocean …

Wow that’s a pretty UI

Villainously, I’m billing eight-hours

The type of software that exists only to create a cottage job industry of people who know how to use it.

I just use Jellyfin for this too, not sure I follow the issue but I haven’t used Plex since migrating

“ah sorry, I must have missed it because you’re not in my VIPs”

I have no VIPs :-)

I noticed that Arduino are using it for the 2.0 of their IDE. I guess a big part of the benefit here is providing a workbench base for different types of IDE with different goals, similarly to Eclipse.

Not a million miles away from VSC’s extension model but it allows deeper customisation which is fantastic for embedded hardware and software houses that need that deep integration without dealing with vendor lock in.

The problem is that the amount is probably wrong by the time I finish writing the sentence. The only solution is to burn Tesla dealerships at a fast enough rate to cause a profit/loss equilibrium so we can report it correctly.

Damn, with solutions like these maybe I should just go work for DOGE

Once again, I jest.

I know, but he has $200b in assets, so it’s hard to feel too bad for him

I know right, this is gender we’re talking about naming here! Not one of Elon’s children

Yes but those are inferior because they aren’t in a rage-baiting meme format

Please write the “C considered harmful blog post”. I just want to see everyone’s faces. Pleeeeeease.

He says that but I bet he never even checked it out smh

Tmspk egssts tuh

I coded several of my early mobile app releases entirely in gedit. Good times.

I sometimes forget how good we have it now. I wrote those apps around 2012 and the DX for the platforms was basically non-existent. Virtually every platform had shit documentation, shit version management, a shit IDE with minimal refactoring features, a shitty debugging experience, and everything felt like it was being botched together by 3 guys in their spare time.

It’s incredible now that we have things like hot reloading. You can literally save a change and BAM it’s on the screen seconds later. On native platforms no less. Astounding.

Carry a big stick

As staff engineer, I’m far too busy to read any of these comments. Also I haven’t written any code in 4 years

Reddit, when the walls fell

It will be where the error happened if you conventionally pass your errors to a logger that then prints the stack trace, which is virtually what Python et. al. are doing anyway.

Go is not a language I’m a huge fan of tbh, but this mild inconvenience is not one of the things I would criticise it for. What you’re describing w.r.t control flow for errors absolutely is though.
