Whoever is doing that is a saint in disguise. Yeah the numbers are probably small (because poorest 50 emit so much less CO2), but it may lift a whole continent out of poverty and enable their sovereignty.

I miss coding where quality matters more than time to market.

Of course understanding your customer has value and getting them to part with their hard earned money.

using conan to install openssl - I ended up installing ancient perl libraries :D

I did not expect that in case of a build of something modern.

my new favorite #git scriptlet: fuzzy search branch checkout

git checkout $(git branch | fzf)

Not stealing code is hard when the code is as simple as a UrlDecoder, most implementations are so easy except loop unrolling it's very very hard to make a different implementation if the original is copyrighted.

What does one do in those cases?

What do people do with databases in testing these days?

I have some issues:
- mocking with repositories and orms is tedious
- in memory dbs are often not fully postgres compatible (h2 for instance)
- dealing with databases in testing limits parallelism and test conflicts (have to drop tables)

I just realized how slow lazyVim can be. I was surprised to see that VSCode in its default configuration is faster than nvim, even though nvim is written in C and is coming from a time when code was fast and compilers were slow.

This so much. Yeah you potentially can invest 20% less here and there, but is it worth if you loose future revenue?

Of course the raw numbers and ratios matter, but ignoring lost future income is something not to be done.
I don't want to hear "we can't afford it" one more time from Labour.

Not while they continue to reinforce their Brexit red lines.

The amount of money being left on the table by not seeking to rejoin the EU is eye-watering.

The tax lost to Brexit would have paid for everything Labour needed.

It's really impressive how many layers of abstraction exist these days.

When debugging a web server I always wanted to know what a CoyoteAdapter is ..

I wonder if people have tried #Swift for backend development.

It looks like it could be "not too bad", given that apps are reliant on cloud already.

I wonder if ARC + async + value types + functional are a good enough user experience and could compete with go and java.

Is #zed the leading editor aiming to have a similar feature set as vscode but lower overhead in terms of memory and cpu footprint? Or are there others I should look at?

@patigallardo.bsky.social I remember you had issues with mac development.

what was your solution, you bought a mac computer to develop on mac right?

ready to pull the trigger.

changing my gaming rig to linux, because win11 is not possible. my other machines are linux already - and thus I'll move my dev machine there, because it's more potent.

smart move microsoft - to force me to try #linux #steam :-)

linkedin in 2018: hey I have a job vacancy, do you want to interview?

linkedin in 2025: hey, we have a product to sell, do you have a minute for a sales pitch?

Is there a tool to do bulk requests to many aws accounts?

Like reading ssm parameters or check if a role in the account is the same across all environments or doing a CF deployment?

Has linkedin shifted from hiring to technical sales?

I started to get a gazillion of sales call offers.

I'm this close to repurposing my gaming pc to a linux gaming pc.

This whole windows upgrade drama is just a mental sink. I may not be able to play or emulate all games, but I at least regain control of support cycles. And I'm not planning to buy a new PC for years anyways.

Gah

spring.io/blog/2025/04...

It has begun - the commercialisation of spring ...
April 29, 2025 at 5:51 PM
do people see using #Spring as a risk, given it's owned by VMWare which is owned by Broadcom?
April 28, 2025 at 10:40 AM
I started experimenting with #SpringBoot alot recently, and I'm pleasantly surprised.

it's fast, flexible and quite lean to code in these days!
April 26, 2025 at 8:06 PM
gah whats up with all those vim bindings.

I have been trying them in various places, and man they slow down your ide.

I dont want to choose between USA and China.

When does he get that partitioning is not a good strategy.

And why does he side with Russia.

If we choose allies with russia or china, I'll pick china..
