I‘m seriously thinking about adding a Disallow statement for the Google bot to my robots.txt

@cjk I did at a time.
Some one else did that too, but Apparently they got indexed, regardless.

I was thinking for my blog, I could make a CLI application for my own access, to send posts under the terminal, instead of making a web client!

I have tried SQLite, fjall, persy/structsy and redb.

At the end I decided to go with fjall + postcard, which offers the simplest implementation.

However it is probably the newest kid in the block.

For an alpha stage program it is good enough. If I find any problems with consistency or durability it should be easy enough to go back to other options.

@kubikpixel
Thanks for the suggestions.

I need an embedded database. So some of these are not options for me.

PoloDB looks appropriate however there is a very concerning problem with it.

@kubikpixel both gluesql and surrealdb are mostly layers on top of other storages. Considering the simplicity of the data, I prefer to go lower level, say sled db. Sled is a good one, but it is also big and unstable since it is being rewritten.

@kubikpixel also some of these, like skytable require CLAs which are usually red flags, enshittification-wise.

There is just too much discourse around coding style unification, in Go community.
It has taken to extreme.

I mean arguing that method chaining is hurting readability or not may be technically correct, but at this point, aren't we just splitting hairs?

@prma@fosstodon.org avatar

@cjk agreed. These arguments only look important when you are writing 10 lines of code for a blogpost. Working class code are just too unpolished for these stuff to ever matter.

@cjk go has tons of consistent and interoperable formatters. To be honest the only thing left is nitpicking.

@toddbohannon It might be true but aljazeera is propably not a good source to rely on. They are a bit like fox news but with more propoganda.

I keep looking at rust and thinking "Gods it seems to be an awesome language"... Then I read and hear about a lot of hassels moving from C or C++ to rust and never really any massive success stories... are the massive success stories out there? #rustlang #development

@markuswerle @looopTools I'm sorry. Did you mean C++ in your example?

How would you test an end point on a microservices architecture when they are dependent on external IP-bound APIs and so many layers of cache?

prma,
@prma@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu most of our bugs usually come from inconsistencies between systems. So, API and integration tests would be more helpful. Especially before writing and deploying the implementation.

prma,
@prma@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu the third parties are fairly complex to emulate. so it is probably not very practical. We control the cache but the earliest starting point of the caches are the external providers.

prma,
@prma@fosstodon.org avatar

@deshipu hmm. that sounds good. Thanks for the consult.

I have read radicle's FAQ. But I am still not clear what advantages does radicle offer over the mail-list based git workflow.
Any ideas?

I have been messing around with CSS since 2007. Yet I cannot say that I got the hang of layouting. Although I agree that it is a skill issue, I have to insist that it should not need this much skill to align bunch of buttons.

    @cjk ah libretranslate. You did it again:
    In the morning, the peasants and the lake are filled with people who are drunken by a boulevard car with alcohol and play loud music.

    I think even the tenses are wrong.

    @cjk oh that sounds a lot nicer!

    @cjk yeah! That sentence actually made sense 😆
    in the meantime, enjoy this game:

    I think some people have misunderstood utilitarianism.
    Your good work is not measured by how you intended it to effect the world, but by how it actually effected the world.

    So saying I did this for greater good is worthless. Showing that you actually achieved a greater good is the point

    So making money in the name of effective altruism is as good as shit.
    Create actual good.

    Actually, wealth redistribution using tax is much more effective than hoping a billionaire does the right thing.

    @deshipu there is this building in london made by Norman Foster. Meticulously designed to be extremely environmentally friendly. The building ended up wasting crazy amounts of energy because the architect did not spend time researching the requirement, ever mitigation and strategy ended up backfiring. Intentions were good, behavior were good, the consequence was shit.
