Thanks for that little riddle, managed to solve it (with the hint) during my morning coffee.

I bit the bullet and bought the Jetbrains Ultimate bundle because I develop in lots of different languages. It includes WebStorm and it is a joy to use. It helps where necessary and doesn't get in my way..

I build my machine about 8 years ago and it is time for a new one. I use it mainly for coding and research but I do like the occasional game (even VR). I try to max out specs so the PC lasts a long time.

Not parent, but; Enterprise is one of my favorites. Some things that I really like about it:

  • The enterprise itself is bare and functional. Not luxurious with nice carpets. This ups the stakes and realism.
  • They get beat up a lot and their ship is quite primitive.
  • Archer is mostly likable and nicely balanced, although he gets a bit dark in later seasons.
  • All main cast have distinct personalities and are well acted and likable. Most of them also grow as member of the crew.
  • The crew interactions are well written mostly.
  • The tension between Archer and T'Pol is intense.
  • I really like the cmdr. Shren storyline.
  • Hoshi is hot (and smart) so I didn't mind the de-con scenes. And besides the eye-candy they did have a story.

These are the things I can think of right now, but I really enjoyed it over all (of course with its ups and downs per episode).

TLDR; Does that mean they can throw Zuckerberg in jail?

Ha sure, although since it is not well traveled there aren't any Lemmy comments yet. But you're very welcome to visit..

Nice, I did the same for my blog. Didn't want to build a whole comment system when Lemmy fits the bill quite nicely :)

Yes, and that is where we enter the complicated territories..

I'm sorry, but have you ever needed to manage some certificates for a legacy system or something that isn't just a simple public facing webserver?

Automation becomes complicated very quickly. And you don't want to give DNS mutation access to all those systems to renew with DNS-01.

I do not agree. Very often, when using libraries for example, you need some extra custom handling on types and data. So the easy way is to inherit and extend to a custom type while keeping the original functionality intact. The alternative is to place the new functionality in some unrelated place or create non-obvious related methods somewhere else. Which makes everything unnecessary complex.

And I think the trait system (in Rust for example) creates so much duplicate or boilerplate code. And in Rust this is then solved by an even more complex macro system. But my Rust knowledge might just nog be mature enough, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..

As a life-long developer in OOP languages (C++, Java, C#, among others) I still think OOP is quite good when used with discipline. And it pains me that there is so much misunderstood hate towards it nowdays.

Most often novice programmers try to abuse the inheritence for inpropper avoiding of duplicate code, and write themself into a horrible sphagetti of dependencies. So having a good base or design beforehand helps a lot. But building the code out of logical units with fenced responisbilities is in my opinion a good way to structure code.

Currently I'm doing a (hobby) project in Rust to get some feeling for it. And I have a hard time to wrap my mind around some design choices in the language that would have been very easily solved with a more OOP like structure. Without sacrificing the safety guarantees. But I think they've deliberatly avoided going in that direction. Ofcourse, my understanding of Rust is far from complete so it is probably that I missed some nuance.. But still I wonder. It is a good learning experience though, a new way to look at things.

The article was not very readable on mobile for me but the examples seemed a bit contrived..

On a city crossroad, with warning signs, lights, pylons and tape not to drive over it, was a car in the center. Sunken to its axels in freshly poured concrete. The idiot driver had just ignored everything and could now pay to have the concrete fixed.
