in the end I went with CanSpace as registrar, and I’m using CloudFlare to actually run the nameservers.
The transfer was kind of a PITA because since the domain transferred from Google to Squarespace to Canspace to then being hosted on CF’s nameservers (but still on Canspace) the DNSSEC meant that CF couldn’t actually get it connected until like 48 hours later. Was quite worried that I’d screwed up somewhere.
DevOps is bad because for some reason we’ve decided to invent new programming languages that you can’t debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It’s bullshit.
“Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end”?
Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of “edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat”.
C is simple in the same way that a circular saw with no safety features is simple. I like having fingers better.
Some men just want to watch the world burn
C++, but a very ugly and oldschool dialect of it.
JS is the one that’s built into the browser. If JS wasn’t built into the browser, it would go onto the trashbin of bad old languages that only survived because of their platform like VBA and ActionScript and .bat batch scripting. You can’t compare JS to any other language because JS is the one you don’t get a choice on.
The fact that this meme makes sense to anyone demonstrates how dynamic typed programming languages cause brain damage.
Even for experts the user experience is shit. Too much has to be done manually when the default should be automatic, like fetching before pull, recursing when working with repos that use submodules, allowing mismatched casing on case insensitive filesystems, etc.
And yet I have to enable SMB 1.x to get filesharing to talk between my various devices half the time.
No, I mean single-letter vars are standard in physics and math, but reusing vars is not acceptable. Obviously they’re not good practice except in the scenarios you describe, but mathies gonna math.
Maybe they had a background in low-level assembly code? If you’re writing assembly that’s kinda sorta how you’d handle registers.
Single letter variables, yes. Reusing them? No.
Exactly. If it’s a statically typed language and the function has a clear name? I know what type it is, I know what it’s for, I’m good.
There are far worse sins, like intermediate variables or worse, public class members named “obj” or “data”.
Imho the VS integration has always been good, it’s the web config that’s always been a trash fire, and that’s not new.
what’s wrong with nuget? I have to say I like the “I want latest” “no, all your dependencies are pinned you want to update latest you gotta decide to do it” workflow. I can think of some bad problems when you try to do fancy things with it but the basic case of “I just want to fetch my program’s dependencies” it’s fine.
The reason I hate HTML: I’ve seen smart, reasonable people do this with IDs, and I’m not 100% sure they’re wrong.
By the end of the meeting the question will still not be answered
