I would have expected that at least all the frameworks were using the same database, but no. Some frameworks use MySQL, others use PostgreSQL. Some framework implementations are ultra-optimized and others are what you would expect in your average web application. Some frameworks are using proper templating libraries, others are using Sprintf.
Commenter on Reddit (OP there) gives a talk link and summarization:
In the talk, Lars mentions that they often rely on self-reported anonymous data. But in this case, Google is large enough that teams have developed similar systems and/or literally re-written things, and so this claim comes from analyzing projects before and after these re-writes, so you’re comparing like teams and like projects. Timestamped: https://youtu.be/6mZRWFQRvmw?t=27012
Some additional context on these two specific claims:
Google found that porting Go to Rust “it takes about the same sized team about the same time to build it, so that’s no loss of productivity” and “we do see some benefits from it, we see reduced memory usage […] and we also see a decreased defect rate over time”
On re-writing C++ into Rust: “in every case, we’ve seen a decrease by more than 2x in the amount of effort required to both build the services written in Rust, as well as maintain and update those services. […] C++ is very expensive for us to maintain.”
tl;dr: They merged the code of an unmaintained dependency into their project.
I don’t think I can take anything else away from it.
Is it because c++ devs need half their day for recovering from the trauma of reading and writing c++? /s
I opened/open-sourced my ed2k link generator that I use to generate them for files so I can manage my AniDB mylist more easily.
I had done most work in 2022 and have been using it since then. For opening it up I still had to check whether I had sensitive code committed. I had to remove a local filepath from my initial commit. But now it’s versioned and open on GitHub.
Yesterday I started migrating and extending some Mumo project (Mumble Moderator, python app/framework) CI and docs. I plan to further improve it, and to try to reproduce a bug that may be an issue because of changes in a deb/ubuntu library dependency.
Have you tried clicking on rhythm? Have you tried different rhythms?
Webcrawlers count as users too, right?
I scale by dropping requests
be way too heavy to even take off
maybe the engines would take off by themselves
I see, TIL. That’s different from Germany, where Ingenieur is a protected term.
The term engineering is not about problem-solving, especially when differentiated from development. Engineering is about deliberate understanding and decision-making, about giving it an architecture, a structure.
You can develop without any structure, solving an issue, without understanding a bigger context or picture or behavior. But that’s not engineering.
Driving a train is engineering?

I think the guideline should be: future software should be written on a whim
The site name’s a play on “The Onion” so it’s gotta be satire, right? I couldn’t find an about page to confirm.
Yes, it’s satire.
The page is run by one author https://www.theolognion.com/about and no description or goal described
Runs on “substack” platform (standard software)
The story reads like a story, and the mentioned company does not exist
It doesn’t have to “error” if the result case is offered and handled.
It’s infectious!
Personally, I like to call catched exception variables up, so for a rethrow I can throw up;.
