That documentation sounds like marriage.

An app that will save the world…and other fantasies that software developers tell themselves to feel important

Specifically for the rate limit issue, a lot of nix’s derivations are hosted on GitHub and now and then the rate limit problem comes up when I rebuilds a dev environment.

Nixos.org is kind enough to host gigabytes of cache, but to get a ~40MiB tarball, we need to beg at the door of M$. Path dependency is really a trap.

Reminds me of a hilarious bug in early GHC: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/163

The compiler will delete your source file if there’s any compile error. And the user complained only by sending a very polite email to report this bug. Simon Peyton Jones mentioned it in one of his talks and I still find it quite hilarious till this day.

// TODO: Leave the code cleaner than you found

In recent git versions (>2.23), git restore and git restore --staged are the preferred ways to discard changes in the working tree (git checkout -- .) and staged changes (git reset --) respectively.

My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as “lines produced” but as “lines spent”: the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger.

Yeah, I mean platforms accessible without so many hoops to jump through.

It’s believed that Glassdoor’s business model is to charge companies for removing bad reviews. So how much value can the rating provide is questionable in the first place.

Personally, for big companies, there are always people writing their work experiences on an open platform. For small companies, it’s unlikely to find a relevant review, if any, on Glassdoor anyway. So I never bothered to use it.

If you are looking at learning CS in a more holistic manner, there’s Path to a free self-taught education in Computer Science!. It’s a list of courses, categorized by topics, which are exactly what a CS undergraduate would learn. It might feel daunting at first, but you can pick any interesting topic and dive in.

I especially recommend CS50P for beginners.
