I really enjoyed this talk. The methods he introduces and the metrics he uses really make sense to me. Pricing of the tool doesn't look that bad, either....
I'm a programmer, but mostly C in my job. I've played with PHP5 (yeah, a long time ago), dabbled in HTML5 when it was new, touched upon some ancient version of Javascript, etc. etc. I have done bare-bone system administrator work but only enough for test instances....
Great talk by Dave Farley. I wholeheartedly agree that it is time to define what our "engineering" discipline should entail....
Hi, I’m an embedded developer and trying to write some python software for a personal project (A bot for an idle game)....
Whenever you store a value that has a unit in a variable, config option or CLI switch, include the unit in the name. So:...
In a software org at a large tech company that has several services across small teams with various functionality and UIs. Have gotten direction from up above and been assigned the task of being responsible for concentrating all of the different services under a single web service and UI. Think AWS management console for the...
Hello everyone, I recently started working on a Gtk client for Lemmy written in Rust, called Lemoa and the awesome Relm4 crate....
An absolute classic. One of my favourite parts:...
Hello everyone, I was wondering why did we create another programming community besides the existing ones?...
They've contacted me last week and from what I understand they'll pay you studying for the Azure Architect certificates (around 6 weeks or so). Does anyone have any experience with them? If so, is it worth switching to that company for a few weeks to get training?
Some time ago I was looking for a sources that would give me in-depth understanding of performance characteristics of large-scale storage. This is the best text on hard disk drives I've found so far, explaining details such as various switch times, zoned recording or head skew. It's almost 20 years old, though, and so misses...
For those who haven't seen it before and are interested in writing concurrent algorithms or data structures in Java, this is an excellent read on the potential pitfalls you can fall into reasoning about memory ordering in Java....
I’ve been testing the Memmy client for the past couple of days and it’s been getting better pretty quickly. If you want to check it out: https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy
I thought this is a pretty cool way to visualize the process and figured I'd share!...
Tildeverse - a network of pubnixs in the spirit of tilde.club
My first experience with Lemmy was thinking that the UI was beautiful, and lemmy.ml (the first instance I looked at) was asking people not to join because they already had 1500 users and were struggling to scale....

This is something I’ve been wondering about for a long time. Programming is an activity that makes you face your own fallibility all the time. You write some code, compile it or run it, and then 80% of the time, it doesn’t work exactly the way you imagined. There’s an error message, or it just behaves incorrectly. Then you...
