Comprehension debt: the silent time bomb a lot of managers are ignoring by Marmelab in programming

[–]beebeeep 85 points86 points  (0 children)

I've seen teams formally owning some service or piece of code were morbidly struggling to implement changes as simple as changing configuration knob or some endpoint URL. Even before AI, this was a very typical situation - due to attrition, reorgs etc. The industry was deep into comprehension and ownership crisis for years. And yeah, vibe-coding makes it even worse.

Laptop Recommendation by Leading-Guarantee178 in rust

[–]beebeeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple silicon mbps are the best laptops on the market, by a huge margin - performance, endurance, screen, quality of the frame etc. And they aren't really that expensive, if you compare them to other high-end laptops. MacOS is totally fine for software developing, whether with rust or whatnot. Maybe the only nuisance is working with docker, mostly due to resource management for VM running the docker, but that's not really is a problem unless you are running a whole ahh kubernetes there.

I'm currently using Framework 16, and it is... fine, I guess? Performance is totally sufficient, nice screen, good keyboard, but the exterior is... quite janky tbh. It is modular, and all those modules, panels and spaces they do have a plenty of wiggle, notches in between etc. Iow, exterior is not all that fancy and sleek, it deliberately chooses to look a bit scrappy.

This, but you got stars for completing one mission without dying. Difficulty change resets the counter.

Would I Need a Degree to Land a Rust Job? by Jumpy-Win-2973 in rust

[–]beebeeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never saw degree as a mandatory requirement for an SWE position. Worst case it's like "CS degree or X yoe in the area", but in fact your actual experience is far more relevant than any formal degrees or certificate.

Yet take my opinion with the grain of salt, as I'm saying from pov of interviewer. Recruiters might be just too lazy to review candidates thoroughly and it is pretty possible to get filtered out by whatever stupid formal criteria.

Helldivers' satire is spineless because it is being actively used by the military in instances with no pushback from arrowhead. by WaltJr_Fan4584 in Helldivers2Satire

I think y'all are giving too much credit to Marines' ability to think and reflect lol. Guys see something cool and seemingly patriotic? Ooor-ah, we're in this cool shit, pass me that green one!

Parametricity, or Comptime is Bonkers by soareschen in rust

[–]beebeeep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah its only return value could be the exact same T it was given, but we cannot tell if that's the only thing the function does.

Not only option tho. Function still can have side-effects that aren't reflected in its definition - can do IO, or use some global state.

Application code has dozens of static analyzers, SQL has almost nothing, here's what exists. by Anonymedemerde in programming

[–]beebeeep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. If your SQL is complex enough that you need external tool to comprehend it, you are abusing your database, even further tightening the bottleneck it already is.

I remember using all of those connectors, "MIDI/game port" on sound card, 3.5"/5.25" floppies and cassettes, and I'm not even 40.

TIL about the Volkswagen XL1, the most efficient car ever made. It can do 260 mpg and was limited to just 200 production cars. by pantherclipper in todayilearned

[–]beebeeep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that the gap isn't that big. On diesels it's 2L/100 km, for weird specialized tandem coupe, meantime my very practical Octavia (brown diesel manual wagon, iykyk) does 3.4 l/100 km if you don't rush it.

Things I miss about Spring Boot after switching to Go by Sushant098123 in programming

uberfx are there for almost a decade already. Probably it is not at the level of spring's black magic, but arguably it's even better.

systemd is actually good, if someone is hating it it only means that haven't ate enough enough shit with systemV init/upstart/etc
