djsumdog said Why would you look this up on your phone? Does your guy program .. on his phone? How slow is he?!,You can write dynamically typed stuff using C#/.NET. Years ago there was the Boo Programming Language.
It hasn't been maintained in years though. There are .NET bindings and implementations for Python, and other non-typed languages.,Only if you're white.,@retoor Companies have literally denied roles to people purely based on their white skin color for over 10 years:
I had a friend at InDeed who said they weren't allowed to start interviewing a new batch of Candidates if there wasn't one black person in the batch.,My personal account was banned from Hackernews: https://battlepenguin.com/tech/...

Welcome to the club.,@retoor Thanks for the code review.
I use Pathlib some places in some code, but not as a full on replacement for os stuff. Might look into that more.
Yea, async is confusing as fuck. It doesn't work the way Futures/Promises work in most other sane languages.
Although this tool is simple, other tools I make need migrations to the database for newer releases. Plus, both Gentoo and Void Linux package yoyo-migrations, but they don't seem to package dataset. Although I won't package bibilobunny, I have two other projects I'm planning on packaging for other distros.
No thanks on the AI. I've found most coding LLMs are good for wrong answers only or spewing out unreadable buggy bullshit. Next token prediction models aren't the best thing for novel, complex problems.,Because Java is super old. I remember starting with Java 1.2 back in 2000. For over a decade it also tried to really push for backwards compatibility, and didn't end up with breaking changes until Java 9.
Joda time was used to fill in a gap on how bad the original Java date times were. Eventually a very of that became a part of the language.
So it's due to a lot of legacy stuff. Swift is incredibly new by comparison.,Are there any tests? Or is your company one of those bureaucracy first, engineering second' kind of shops?
Always push back. Tell people the risks. Never work overtime, especially if it's their fault things were missed or wrong in planning.,Jeze. I haven't seen people use WinMerge for deployments since 2012!
Automate that shit man! You really want clear scripts and clear logs that show what's happening. It's 2025. Not having automated CI-deployment as a priority is a massive pile of tech debt.,I still have several serial->USB adapters for switches, routers and such. I even found this old Intel Atom device that was serial only on eBay:

It's still my router to this day.,Reddit is a cesspool at this point. Many of the mods have actively used scripts to delete posts made by people who use wrong-think subreddit, even if those posts are totally unrelated to said wrong-think. I've covered it extensively here:
https://battlepenguin.com/politics/...
I never use Reddit except occasional self promotion or specific topic questions. It's not a site worth using when you understand the true depth of censorship and group think. Anyone with hetrodox opinions left long ago.
If you do have to use Reddit (or worse, Orange Reddit) but sure to read from the bottom first:
https://battlepenguin.com/tech/...,I just finished a really good book called "Road Ends" by Mary Lawson where one of the characters, Tom, has this special spot in a half booth in a restaurant in his home town he always sits at alone.,I hope that NEVER happens. If everyone used one base, it WOULD be Chrome and it would be massaged in such a way as to block the usage for any ad blockers and user scripts.
As dodgy as Mozilla is now (I use Librewolf, the privacy aware fork of Firefox, because it's 2025 and everything is that terrible), I'm glad there are still at least three major engines (Mozilla's Gecko, Safari's WebKit, Chrome's Blink/Chromium).
I've compiled a few early builds of Ladybird and hope they really take off. We need more browser rendering choices, not fewer.```
