You're right, this functional style 'clever' programming is exactly what Go discourages (or did discourage... historically...) This is the exactly the kind of code I don't want to see. I want to see clear, easy to read, obvious functions that do exactly what they say on the tin.

For me, the JS/LINQ style is much more readable than a bunch of for loops.

Not sure if you're serious after reading the paragraph where he ordered food for another table ;-)

When implemented properly, it’s a convenient system. I enjoyed using it at the Stockholm airport a few months ago.

And a shady third world casino will happily provide that proof document in return for a 13% cut of your winnings.

I still think you’d get under an investigation (at least from the tax authorities, but I can imagine police too) after years of years consistently depositing millions of wins in your bank account.

It's really easy. Use casinos in 3rd world countries to certify your money as gambling winnings. There must be underground network for this. So it looks like you're gambling and you got lucky. Very dangerous though. I heard that they charge 13% total fee. You come in at 5M$. You play for 1 week.. Leave with 160M or something. Bring that cash into the bank and deposit it.

Aren’t you supposed to show proofs of winning 160m when depositing into a bank? Even for just a few millions?
snypox commented on EU Digital ID wallet is coming   thalesgroup.com/en/worldw... · Posted by u/taubek

This is not the first attempt to set something like this up in the EU (in fact, the directive is some 10 years old), and it won't be the last. In the end, it will die like all the projects that come before it, because with 27 member states all having different structures, the complexity will kill it.

The EU digital covid certificate works quite nicely and I used it at multiple countries. This might be a bigger challange but still.

Am I being cynic here or is this just another attempt at total surveillance? It solves a problem that does not exist, will likely be mandatory at some point and is executed by a defense company.
snypox · 4 years ago
It solves on problem for me. Since the introduction of Apple Pay I hate taking my wallet anywhere and 95% of the time I don’t. But my ID and driver’s license is in there and it’s needed sometimes. This gets me closer to the goal.

Let’s say, travelling to a different country without a wallet would be amazing to me.

I hoped the notch would be just an experiment and Apple would get rid of it the next iteration. It seems I was wrong. It looks so weird to have your top menu bar split in two, I really don’t get why it is necessary.
snypox · 4 years ago
Hm, I haven’t even noticed the notch in the past 7 months on mine.

Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80-120k

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied customers.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours. We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, apply at https://grnh.se/3138190b5us or email me at kubam at spacelift dot io!

You can find out more about the product we're building at https://spacelift.io and also see our engineering blog for a few technical blog posts of ours: https://spacelift.io/blog/engineering

PS: Fear not, no whiteboarding!

snypox commented on GitHub Copilot Labs   github.com/github/feedbac... · Posted by u/orph
andreisbc · 4 years ago
I've been using Copilot for 3 weeks in a typical web project: typescript, react, css. Feedback:

- when i declare a variable or function using a suggestive name, it correctly autocompletes what i want 50% of the time and it also takes into account the context; sometimes it just blows my mind how accurate it can be.

- sometimes it doesn't autocomplete even if i delete the line to start over

- i changed the way i code: i rely on Copilot more and more. i start typing my code and i know the prompt will correctly autocomplete my intention, but if it doesn't, it will a couple of lines later. If i stop to think, it goes ahead of me

- it's now faster for me to get an answer from Copilot than searching on Stackoverlow.

Copilot is a great companion, please make it even better! Welcome to the future my friends

The most insane is that it even autocompletes comments. It’s honestly scary sometimes.

Congrats to the team and I'm very thankful that there are alternatives to GitHub out there. Not that I don't like GitHub (I do) or use GitHub (every day), but lately it seems like they are sherlocking a whole lot of ideas from the OSS "marketplace" into their main product. That kind of irks me.

If GitLab were able to add something like GitHub Actions into their platform I would leave GH in a second.

snypox · 4 years ago
Isn’t GitLabs whole premise is the CI/CD?
