Racist much? I work out of Europe and manage teams both in India and Europe. My experience have pleasantly gotten better with Indian teams. If the quality is sub-par then perhaps you're not a good manager? perhaps failing upwards?

mm007emko · a year ago

I am from Europe and I have worked with many Europeans, Americans and Asians. Quality of sub-contractor colleagues from India was, same as from anywhere else, directly proportional to what the company paid for them. Good pay = skilled and hard-working. Cheap labour = barely any skills and hardly working.

Then comes one after another manager, PO, PM, designer. They want: privacy consent dialog, social media integration, newsletter and subscription prompt dialog, put all photos into a clickable gallery, floating auto playing video, and AI chat somewhere right there in the corner.

Which is very sad, if you think about it. None of that benefits me as a user, it's for their benefit.

Posts like this realistically remind people that C won’t go away any time soon.

If no government bans it and mandates Linux kernel to be rewritten in Rust (and all higher language FFIs to be compatible with Rust rather than C), it's here to stay.

No. If you are a GCC user, you should know that.

mm007emko · 2 years ago

As a GCC user I know that GCC has a runtime library exception in the license. This doesn't.

Looks great, however it's licensed under GPL. Does it mean that ALL programs in that language have to be GPL as well?

In companies, most languages have some kind of system to enforce style guidelines and restrict which dependencies can be used. Companies already restrict the flexibility of the languages they are already using. So flexibility is not the reason Lisp is unpopular among companies.

mm007emko · 2 years ago

And what's the point of having Lisp if you can't use it? Unpopular opinion alert: Bigger companies want programmers to be replacible resources which means they need to have huge talent pools. If you choose your tech stack for the fact that you can retain your people for only 12 to 18 months, you can't effectively use any of the advantages Lips languages offer to you.

I came up in a similar era, I don’t think back fondly on those messes. Doing a modern app with accessibility, mobile support, real time updates, visualizations, and maybe a few PWA features with just jQuery sounds incredibly unpleasant.

I’m waiting for the HTMX hype train to meet reality too. Programming your app in pseudo attributes with a DSL is going to wear thin quickly.

I think that many websites even nowadays don't need all that jazz and many would improve if less JavaScript was on them. How many times have you loaded a website only to watch a couple of JavaScript "spinners" for everything to load only to click somewhere and everything started again? MS Azure management is one of such sites.

SPA with real time updates, complex layouts to be mobile-friendly, real-time updates of many components, endless scrolling and PWA features would be a total PITA. Yes, I don't disagree.

The vast majority of web apps I have seen so far don't need to be like that.

I remember jQuery from it's heyday when we used it as a replacement for Mootools. Since many people are going from React to HTMX, maybe we've made a full circle and we'll see web using just plain jQuery as well?

I feel the comment was bait.

mm007emko · 2 years ago

Exactly. I have been using git for my .emacs files and there is little I really miss from Emacs for editing files and even quite a lot of coding.

Was drive-thru the only late night food option in that bit of Czechia? That felt like the pertinent part, not being able to get any in some places.

(Here in Berlin I have to plan around Sunday trading rules in a way I didn't back in the UK, but we have Spätis, so there are options).

No, it was during a day. I had a trailer behind a bicycle with my then two year old son who wanted chips. So I tried McDonald's.

Since there was no secure way to lock the bicycle (well, locks don't really work either) I tried drive-through.
