Can you explain what are denotational semantics and operational semantics? I tried reading the wikipedia article but I don’t get it.

I agree, I also pay pros for work I can’t/won’t do. But I don’t tell people that I did it. It’s just something that bugs me.

A big peeve of mine is when someone says they did something, “I remodeled my floors, I painted the walls, I fixed my car, i put in a fence”, when they really mean they hired people to do these things. It’s straight up taking credit for other people’s work and it’s normalized.

I grew up poor where hiring help was rare so when someone said they did something, they always said it proudly and they meant they did it themselves.

Now I always ask and point out they didn’t do anything. I’m really fun that way. But honestly i think the language matters. For big jobs i personally say I had the walls painted or I got the car fixed since that implies getting someone else to do it.

Microservice from the start may be a lot of overhead, but it should at least be made with that scalability in mind. In practice to me, that just means simple things like make sure you can configure it via environment vars, run it out of docker compose or something because you need to be able install it on all your dev systems and your prod server. That basic setup will let you scale if/when you need to, and doesn’t add anything extra when planned from the start.

Allocating infrastructure on a cloud service with auto scaling is the hard part imo. But making the app support the environment from the start isn’t as hard.

as soon as you pay for 12 consecutive months, you will receive this perpetual fallback license providing you with access to the exact product version for when your 12 consecutive months subscription started.

AWS has so much documentation, and yet it never has what I’m looking for ☠️

In our testing, the VPN always continued to report as connected, and the kill switch was never engaged to drop our VPN connection.

This is the only place they mention kill switch. I feel like it needs a slight clarification on whether it was enabled and didn’t work, or if was just disabled and therefore not “engaged”.

Just switch to GNU/Hurd

I like flutter’s design where you do your markup and styling as code, and then it gets rendered via opengl. So you get that native performance without having to deal with the whole browser stack.

I don’t like how almost all software these days is just web apps masquerading as native apps, but they’re just so damn easy to write compared to anything else.

It probably won’t get rid of js’s dominance, but it’ll give people options. I already see some front end python and rust frameworks thanks to wasm. But for some reason I really don’t like the idea of writing html / css in my rust. But I don’t like the idea of html / css in my rust.

How do we compute pi?

Like the other person said, it’s not meant to always fail the first time you enter any password.

It is meant to fail the first time you enter the correct password.

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure a lot of open source software is volunteer based and unpaid.

There might be cases where orgs will lend developers to work on a project, but with the org’s interests in mind, so if the patch isn’t in their interest, then those devs won’t look at it.

You can squash merge so it goes into the main branch as one commit, that’s usually how I do it.

You never do

I hope lemmy gets some super interesting posts that become core lore for the entire user base like this one was for reddit.
