Trial and error, oh my God yes. So much error. Such a trial. But also try to pay attention to detail… If something seems to generally work but then doesn’t for this one case, it might be completely broken and just spitting out plausible stuff the rest of the time. But anyway yeah, you’ve got the spirit.

I remember Linus saying in an interview that he’d only really been involved in git for the first 6 months or so and that the other devs had managed it without him since then. This makes sense - Linus’s creations aren’t successful because he’s the only person who understands them, they’re successful because there are so many other collaborators on them.

Hey, there are two rust ones, check yerself. But the Gopher logo is pretty well known around these parts

Gnome 3 is pretty great

That doesn’t look like a particularly difficult challenge? Like, it’s just an implementation game, move returns a data type that you write yourself

Edit: I suppose there’s life in that kind of ambiguous variation though

This is excellent content

Indeed I am. Forgot the name, lol, not worked with rust for a few months 😅

Type guards, then :) very cool, much compiler power, love it

Rust isn’t really a language that lends itself to terse point-free functional idioms… The sort of examples I might want to share would probably require a bit more context, certainly more code. Like I think type guards and arena allocation are cool and useful tricks but I don’t think I could write a neat little example showing or motivating either

'spose that’s true enough

This is why I like strong type systems with exhaustivity checks

Whatever happened to dailymotion?

Apparently they can’t read their own survey results because DevEx is clearly the highest paid category there but they think it’s SRE and cloud

Rancher got a lot better very quickly, but I’ve never used podman and have heard mixed things about it… Might give it a whirl at some point, but I’ve been saying that to myself for years

Dunno if it’s decent but I’ve been hosting one service on quay.io since about 2017 and other than that time redhat changed the login system and I had to fart about for a few mins, I’ve never had any issues… Tbh though I probably only update that image about twice a year so I’m not exactly power-user-ing it

Everyone always dunkin’ on Perl, but I can’t even tell you how often it’s been the best tool for the job. Like, at least 3

If you can, just use Perl. Probably installed on your systems, even the ones without python.

Software is really hard. Replacing something that needs to continuously have new features added to it because it’s not been replaced yet… You’re running to stand still
