no it’s the joke. In o-notation you always use the highest approximation, so o(n!²) does not exist, it’s only o(n!)

Otherwise there would never be o(1) or o(n), because o(1) would imply that the algorithm only has a single line of instructions, same for o(n)

Just using fluentd to push the files into an ElasticSearch DB and using Kibana as frontend is one day of work for a kubernetes admin and it works good enough (and way better than grepping logfiles from every of the 3000 pods running in a big cluster)

And if something breaks they put the burden on you for not creating backups. Always keep it in writing that you are supposed to work on something else, otherwise you will get the problem down the line

I updated my sources.list to something non-existing at some point and run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove once and it also basically uninstalled everything. But that didn’t even matter, I popped in a recovery disk and could reinstall everything. Pretty great to be able to do all that with Linux, fuck everything up in an instant but after a few hours everything is back again

yeah thats why I said it only has the chance, not that it leads to good code

The only thing that has the chance to prevent unmaintainable garbage code is a plethora of linting rules.

The adapter is still the inconvenience for me, just because the other option is a (tiny) inconvenience for you doesn’t change the fact that the adapter is an inconvenience for me.

The adapter IS the inconvenience.

that’s very nice, we got substituted coffee as well but it was still 1,50 per cup

I don’t think it’s because you grew up poor. It’s because why would you buy coffee everyday?

I buy coffee almost everytime I’m at an airport or a train station, but that’s like… once every two months? If I would commute by train, I wouldn’t buy coffee everytime I’m at the train station, I would just wait until I’m in the office to grab a cup.

But I did buy a coffee daily, when I was in university. There was no way to get a coffee besides buying one, so I bought one. So I think thats the main thing about buying daily, necessity. Some companies only have paid machines, so you buy a coffee daily when at work. In school or university you don’t have a coffee machine available, so you buy one daily.

PgUp and PgDn are also extremely useful when scrolling through logs

I try to tell myself that I can’t do anything about it to calm down, then I find a solution and I can do something about it

It lost a lot of the super-good touchscreen PDF functionality when it switched to chromium though, which I am still mad about. I hope at one point MS will return the PDF Viewer from the original edge

I don’t think that this would work, there are no types anymore during runtime because everything is translated into plain js on build. TypeScript only exists during development

The main problem with JavaScript and TypeScript is that there is such a little entrybarrier to it, that way too many people use it without understanding it. The amount of times that we had major issues in production because someone doesn’t understand TypeScript is not countable anymore and our project went live only 4 months ago.

For example, when you use nest.js and want to use a boolean value as a query parameter.

As an example:

@Get('valueOfMyBoolean')
@ApiQuery(
  {
    name: 'myBoolean',
    type: boolean,
  }
)
myBooleanFunction(
  @Query('myBoolean') myBoolean: boolean
){
  if(myBoolean){
    return 'myBoolean is true';
  }
  return 'myBoolean is false';
}

You see this code. You don’t see anything wrong with it. The architect looks at it in code review and doesn’t see anything wrong with it. But then you do a GET https://something.com/valueOfMyBoolean?myBoolean=false and you get “myBoolean is true” and if you do typeOf(myBoolean) you will see that, despite you declaring it twice, myBoolean is not a boolean but a string. But when running the unit-tests, myBoolean is a boolean.

I hate Typescript for promising me that nobody can put cyanide on the list, but in reality it disallows ME from putting cyanide on the list, but everyone else from the outside is still allowed to do so by using the API which is plain JavaScript again

JSON would be perfect if it allowed for comments. But it doesn’t and that alone is enough for me to prefer YAML over JSON. Yes, JSON is understandable without any learning curve, but having a learning curve is not always bad. YAML provides a major benefit that is worth the learning curve and doesn’t have the issues that XML has (which is that there is no way to understand an XML without also having the XSD for it)

I don’t really code in my free time, every merge request for a FOSS project I wanted to do so far was for company projects where a feature was missing or buggy. My GitHub and Gitlab accounts are full of outdated forks we needed for a minor change in the FOSS project which I was not allowed to merge upstream

FOSS user:

Wants to improve the software and sees easy fixes, but isn’t allowed to create a Merge Request because company policy disallows you from writing code for other projects on company time

Shared hosting sounds like you don’t have your data stored privately and doesn’t sound like less work for the company.

Don’t look at the name from a technicians perspective, but from the perspective of a manager of a small startup who wants to reduce the overhead for hosting it’s service as much as possible. Also serverless is not wrong per sé, it’s exactly what you as the customer get.

You could spin it the same way for every other instance. Why do you call GoDaddy “shared hosting”, in the end it’s just a pod on a kubernetes cluster. So why don’t you call it “private kubernetes pod”?
