Hopefully they won’t come up with some kind of a Rust/CLI, a version of Rust with GC support.

Wait until AI start to summarize meetings into email

Good practices don’t matter much for small hobby projects.

Ok, roadside assistance is maybe worth that price, but the rest are just API calls that cost them virtually nothing to operate. There’s no need for them to keep these functionalities hostage behind some roadside service, other than to be anti consumer.

Not to mention that by paying $90 extra you unlock the functionality to remote unlock your car. What’s the justification for this price? There’s no way it costs this much extra.

$59 is still too much to ask for what amounts to just a few API calls to some cloud service.

I left a company when management decided to discontinue a product right after we finally made its code more maintainable.

Had a look at the product that would replace it, and it was a bigger mess from what we started with.

If a team member can fuck up the history you probably should look into your merge policies.

It’s probably just some basic script triggering on stuff like “died”, “all lost” and “I have nothing”.

Version numbering scenes are also arbitrary. In the case of Linux, the scheme is “Bump up the minor version until it’s too big. In that case bump up the major version instead”.

The terminal is a power tool. I can do stuff with it that’s slow or inconvenient with graphical tools.

I really like the piping capabilities of the Linux terminal. Incredibly useful for text processing.

You don’t need to know math or physics to build a house. Sure, it can help if you know those things, but it’s not essential.

Same goes with programming. Math and programming are two separate skill sets, but knowing one can probably help with the other.

Also, a question for you. Why do you want to do Common Lisp? If you’re skeptical about your abilities I recommend to start with a more common programming language (like Python, Java, C#). Easier to find good learning resources.

I’m also glad I did it as a hobby before I started viewing software development as a job. No code from me if there’s no money on the table.

“Due the global economic circumstances, we were forced to make the incredibly tough decision to say good bye to one of our staff members, cutting down the work force by 100%”

You can’t rescue the princess, but you can borrow her.

He has used this comic as his profile pic on Twitter and StackOverflow for quite a while.

You don’t need to tell each other to shut the fuck up in all caps and call each other idiots to get the point across. It’s possible to instruct your peers in a much more professional manner.

This is way beyond a first hint of disapproval.

I like the circle one. It looks like the sun, and as we all know, the sun is made of plasma.

It’s found at sudo snap install mustard-gas nowadays

KDE Plasma and Gnome are different desktop environments. Kind of like the GUI of the desktop.

Which is best is a matter of taste. I prefer KDE because of its customization options and better virtual desktop support.
