Case in point: minidisc :)

Recording was the killer feature for me. I recorded thousands of hours of band rehearsals with their stereo omni mics and the media quality.

Planning wood, expect during kezuroukai, is annoying because knots are hard and deform the thin edge; most often still wet enough to oxydize the thin edge; finally full of abrasive silicium to abrade the thin edge.

Meanwhile, lake erie toolworks is creating powder metallurgy CPM magnacut blades for western style planes, which seemingly never gets dull because of corrosion resistance, wear resistance and hardness.

France. I know my city workers use them to clean the streets in autumn. Wet leaves are slipery. Then people mostly use rakes AFAIK, or the lawn mower.

Though I know some tools, such as branch shredders are regulated in some residential areas, but I don't frequent those.

You can find all the problems of Software in Woodworking, except that sometimes, using an axe is a legal and well-suited move.

I don't know, my experience with mega SLOC projects were Java, so verbosity was also a thing.

Go's verbosity is usually found in multiples (if err), not in long forms (int[] arrayOfIntegersWithValuesOneToFive = new ArrayFactory().createArrayWithSize(5).populateWithValues(1, 2, 3, 4, 5); ).

Some google meet features are chrome only (background blur, picture in picture).

I can't say I have noticed much else, so I use chrome for gsuite and firefox for everything else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To be fair, most million plus LOC projects match “misfortune” and “nightmare”.

Early 2024 :/

Not really my experience, as long as the stable services costs of operation are good. I have witnessed more chopping on the R&D side, where things are never "stable and reliable", but innovative and expensive.

No need to change or outsource something that works technically and financially. Until it becomes irrelevant.

Very common in France if you ever drive by. Usually sold as a small 30cm^3 plant which will probably grown up to 1.5m in diameter the first year. I used to have 7 in 12m2. It’s also possible to grow from seeds, which you can buy online. It will require some dedication.

IME a very easy perennial, if you can prevent drought. Plant and forget. Like artichokes.

The brought-in-for-some-purpose, escape-to-bush, become-feral, become-pest worked also for cats, dogs, horses ... up-to camels. I am not aware of Australian Feral Elephants but it may exist.

> Without shooting yourself in the foot, learning lacks motivation. Complexity without reason is really confusing.

Interestingly not my experience.

I usually start something uselessly complex, with more passion than reason, to learn or brag, then halfway I indeed shoot shoot myself in the foot trying to be clever or lazy.

I would not recommend to look for footguns, they are already looking at you :)

Nice one.

There have been so many nice CLI tools these last 10 years. Quality of life kind of nice. ag/rg, fzf, entr, up, lf...

Go and rust have been appreciated enablers, even though ruby/python/js demonstrated the concepts, with somewhat poor performances and UX.

... then however, how do you feel about tech debt with Rust? My feeling was that go, rust and such left a lighter burden on the future than say ruby.

Do you think you will need a major rewrite soon?
