Awesome! Been running an IRC server and looking for a decent native client, the ecosystem seems to have frozen around the first Bush presidency so will definitely be trying this out.

That comment was specifically engendered by Python trauma

> The bottom line: There are only two absolutely guaranteed ways to build bug-free, resilient, maintainable software. Two. And they are not static vs. dynamic typing. Two ways. Thing is - we humans have yet to discover either of those two.

That's true but some languages don't let you ship code to prod that multiplies files by 9, or that subtracts squids from apricots

I don't see what problem this solves, especially in its current form only supporting Unix. Bash scripts are already portable enough across Unix environments, the headaches come from dependency versioning (e.g. Mac ships non-GNU awk, etc). Except with this, when something breaks, I don't even get to debug bash (which is bad enough), but a binary compiled from Go transpiled from bash.

Who is the audience for this article? Anyone who has read Frost's body of work understands there is a plaintive, wistful, and dark nature to his poetry. The article even goes so far as to invoke the classic high-school, "guys, The Road Less Traveled might actually be a sad poem!" discussion as though it's an interesting or novel point and not the whole reason that one gets taught so widely. Seems like the author is arguing with an imaginary, naive general public here, which I don't think is useful or interesting. I have to say this is a pretty embarrassing attempt at analyzing Frost.

Holy shit this is incredible. Incredible for both the animator and OSS community around Blender that makes this possible.

Three-man dev team to leap-frog right past all the AAA studio entries.

I have been conditioned to expect low-effort, surface level, self promotion fluff when I click on a Medium article. The site feels like if Quora and LinkedIn had a baby. I don't know, maybe it's just because I mainly stick to programming posts, and nobody decent is using medium for those anymore (you just can't customize the articles well enough, format code like you want to, have any degree of interactivity). This happened gradually, I didn't always have this association with the site...

Tailscale.

In my experience it's been extremely competitive to get a spot in the non Bay Area offices within FAANG. The New York and Seattle offices are generally highly sought after, and there are typically many, many less teams operating outside the Bay Area. You don't exactly get to choose, especially coming into a more junior position.

Briefly wrote up the process of solving a simple CTF challenge from the perspective of a near-beginner at security stuff.

Good spot, but be careful in the future in your approach. Some places will nail you for having not stopped at the point where you unpacked the apk resources and noticed the API keys. Downloading the credentials might not have been the smartest move.
