This is weird… I had a dream last night where I was trying to decide whether to use float or BigDecimal (Java). Unfortunately, I don’t remember the scenario or what I decided on.

I swear that not all my dreams are this mundane.

Rust++

guh-nif?

It’s memory and Javascript usage helped my company transition away from IE (to Chrome 🤷‍♂), so at least it was good for something.

I would be more impressed if it was written in Postscript.

I don’t think this is the worst outcome. It would have been worse if he was the face of Rust in Linux and it died out over ten years instead of one.

That being said, hopefully it can get a fresh start.

I just need to add 20 if-branches in 15 methods across 10 different files from 5 modules.

Depends on your optimization level.

Somehow he managed to add a new hostname to /etc/hosts, but then tries to undo it by rm’ing the hostname?

You could point me at 99% of all C++ projects that have dependencies and it ./configure && make install wouldn’t work on any of my machines.

That’s why configure takes 100 arguments, so you can tell it where every single dependency is. I don’t miss those days.

Java has AtomicInteger, which is probably one of the more complicated, but also robust, ways of setting an integer.

I can’t remember off the top of my head, but your shell script might not be relaying the SIGTERM. Make sure you start your node process with the “exec” statement. This will replace the script’s process with node instead of having node be a subprocess of your script.

Create a PR and describe the situation. Ask if they’ll accept the PR as-is or if they’d accept the refactors separately.

On behalf of Java developers everywhere - thank you Project Lombok!

These are obviously mislabelled?

Newbs. “all” is the default target, so they did twice as much work as they needed to.

Wait til he finds out about “email”.

Ya, maybe it’s not what they intended, but we’ve see it happen enough where source is just closed. Good on them for rectifying it, either way.
