Context matters. Prices dropped because people had less money. They didn’t drop because people were sitting on piles of cash hoping for cheaper prices next year.
The vast majority of questions around quality that end up surfacing in code reviews can be much more easily settled by commonly shared tooling that enforces organizational style and security practices. Leaving "best practice" up to the code review stage just ends up allowing senior engineers to demand code that they themselves would write, not what's best for an organization.
Agreed. Too many "senior engineers" fail to recognize when they are simply venting their territorialism by nitpicking in code reviews. The role of a good manager is to restrain these tendencies.
The statement doesn't say how much Gatsby was acquired for. Hope that Gatsby equity holders weren't bought out at a steep discount, given the current macro situation.
I'm sympathetic to all those who lost their jobs, but I'm a bit baffled that 400 people were working on this. Can someone enlighten me as to why so much headcount was required by this project?
It's a microkernel-based capability-based object-oriented operating system. They're trying to make commercially viable what is essentially a research project.
US doesn’t give out a permanent residency based on how long you lived in the country. There’s only a few common paths to immigration: employment sponsored (2-20 years), marriage based (1-3 years), other family based (2-20 years), investor based (1-3 years). Student or tourist years don’t matter.
FWIW, it does not seem like an uncommon reaction. My wife had a similar questions bordering on disbelief, when I was giving her a glimpse of current US immigration system based on my experience alone.
The way the current immigration system works is not taught at all in schools. Maybe if you’re lucky you get taught about the Ellis Island days where all you had to do was prove you had enough money not to starve and not have any signs of infectious disease like tuberculosis.
It's pretty wild. I'm a US citizen, and getting my Japanese wife a green card took years and thousands of dollars. I wish people understood how ridiculous the system is before they went out and voted about it.
Stuff like how the government would just randomly send me a letter and say "Hey, asshole, give us another $800." In my case it's like "OK" but for most Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck that would be a catastrophic event
I'm curious about htmx, but all of the HTML mini-syntax very similar in aesthetic to Angular 1.0, which was pretty quickly supplanted by React. What excites people about htmx? Do people like the mini-syntax but dislike the ceremony of state management?
Not very convincing when "git gud" is the common response to Rust's exuberance towards needless complexity in use cases that it doesn't fit well in (like CRUD applications)
I don't think it's a "git gut" kind of response. There are some engineers who keep repeating "oh X is so hard, I've never tried myself or even looked at it, but I've heard that it's hard". X could be anything.
If you are a software engineer and not a code monkey in a web shop, you should have no problem at least trying to expand your knowledge. I worked with people who're afraid of changing a line in k8s manifest file even after you tell them what and where.
There are some languages that look alien to the typical engineer and hard to understand without at least a minor prior knowledge, but Rust isn't one of them.
