Nitpick: a lightyear is a measure of distance, not of time :)

Is Python scripting working on version 3.0? For the life of me I can’t get that to work on version 2 (whichever version).

Write a ticket, mentioning “tackle TODOs” 😅

Hey man you’re human! Mistakes! Everyone makes them! At least you admit it, right :D

Have been using Open Telemetry with Micrometer in a Spring Boot 3 microservices architecture. I have to say (regardless of framework of programming language) : structure your logs (like the article mentioned), use the tracing ID propagation and collect the logs in something like Elastic. This makes analyzing logs nice, especially if you’re in a Kubernetes cluster with many services with multiple pods.

The way she laughed at the remark about eating cats and dogs, was exactly my reaction. Glorious!

Eh, what’s a dcp?

No! This has been bugging me for quite some time as well. Other than that, it’s excellent software.

You’re not alone, I was in the same boat. I was not a fan of him or anything, but I had hoped he would do more good than… whatever he is doing now.

What eldritch beast was summoned as a result?

My go to hack was quickly running a python http server and connect to it. I can’t remember what the command was exactly. Something like python -m http.server or so, then connect to the ip from my phone, heh.

The language Java has nothing to do with the JVM. Use OpenJDK (temurin or the likes) instead, although I understand if you don’t have the freedom to do so.

Nonetheless, the suing part is damn stupid.

Java has gotten me lucrative jobs and I make a more than decent living thanks to it. And I bet I am not the only one.

People should stop hating on languages and just use what’s right for the job. I am no fanboy of Java or anything (I program in multiple languages), but saying it should die already is a weird take, IMHO.

Yelling at my laptop

Because it’s a statically compiled binary, it tends to grow the size of the binary. Increases portability though.

Yeah true. But Catherine said it perfectly at the end. Something like “you still don’t get it? What did you expect?”. The fact that one of his consciousness remains down in the abyss was kind of frightening. All by himself.

That ending screwed with my mind. Existential horror at it’s finest!

Wow I forgot I once made a DragonBall Z skin for winamp. It’s still there :D Blast from the past!!

Thanks to my experience, and other lead devs leaving the project, I’m sort of “pushed” in this role. I’m not sure if I like it or not. Sure they see value in what I can do, but it’s also more responsibilities and more meetings. I always liked it to go with the flow previously :D
