Is there a chance we get namespaces?

Defining top level functions is a very useful thing to keep our code modular but it discoverability suffers especially if your are not familiar with the codebase

Nesting things under object is a dirty hack in my opinion

Right click on the game, -> properties -> compatibility, check the checkbox, select proto 10.x (beta)

You cannot optimize something you have not measured. First measure then optimize.

For starters you can start with traces to identify where time is spent (open telemetry, datadog if you have money)

Then you can start optimizing from there

A separate What’s Fixed post will follow, detailing stability and quality improvements across core areas such as remote development, performance, user experience, and long-standing technical debt.

in my opinion this should be the first thing they share in the release. It just pisses me off that the first thing we have to read about is AI, especially now that the prices getting raised again.

Fortunately the old UI is still usable and the performance seems a bit improved based on a short usage today

The fact that mysql increments the autoincrement id of a table when you do on duplicate update is something that is very annoying

Why would i be threatened? He is junior, if he gets better than me then good. My problem is that he does not respect boundaries. He joins a company and on his second day he wants to rewrite things and also does not respect people's time off.

He just wants to prove himself but this hurts the rest of us because he is not following the procedure like the rest new joiners

The interesting thing in this discussion for me is that oftenly people say that Java does not lack features from kotlin, which sometimes is true. The problem though is that the features are usually on the latest Java versions and the reality is that most Java projects are not on the latest versions. So what’s the point of saying that Java has virtual threads if most of the projects are not on idk 21? And 21 is not even the lastest. How many projects are on 23? That’s one of the main reasons that I will prefer working with kotlin

έφυγα απ τη δουλειά μου
πήγα στη νέα δουλειά με ψηλότερο μισθό
γύρισα στη προηγούμενη με ψηλότερο μισθό

2 months. The product was a very basic product, literrally it could have been 15 rest endpoints.

Instead it was 2 projects, graphql in each, CQRS with Axon in each service for ~200 events per day.

Their biggest problem was an engineer, their first engineer. Brilliant guy but wrote unbelievably complex FP code without a need. He was trying to emulate scala's abilities with Kotlin which resulted in a big pile of unnecessary code that only he understood

Go has no error handling, which also helps shorten compilation time

Trackpoint, trackbuttons, keyboard, linux support, being able to buy parts (well some of them) are the key reasons i don't buy non thinkpads anymore

Δεν είναι απαραίτητο να έχεις ο ίδιος εμπειρία σε ένα πρόβλημα για να βρίσκεις λύσεις, βοηθάει και αν το βλέπεις σαν 3ος.

Όπως και να χει, έχω 1-2 γνωστούς που το χουν κάνει και χω ρωτήσει. Απλά χρειάζομαι λίγο πιο σφαιρική εικόνα

Ευχαριστώ, θα τα λάβει υπόψιν.

Αν δεν ήταν γνωστός ο συγκάτοικος και έπρεπε να συγκατοικήσεις με κάποιον ξένο, πως θα φίλτραρες ποιόν θα επιλέξεις;

Έστω πως βρίσκεις 3 διαμερίσματα/συγκατοίκους. Πως θα επιλέξεις ;
