Should I learn Crystal? A programming language with similar syntax to Ruby but is almost as fast as C?

https://crystal-lang.org/

I want to use it for making fast, production-ready web apps using web frameworks like Kemel and Amber. I'm wondering if anyone here knows Crystal and if it lives up to the hype, and if so what tutorials should I use to get started.

"...keep an eye on your careers page maybe another opportunity will come up". Nah. Fuck you

Sometime in the near future…

"Hey Joe, how's the new robot working out?"

"Oh it's great, except that we have no more shampoo in the house."

"…"

"Yeah, apparently it got its hands on a bottle and infinite-looped on Lather, Rinse, Repeat."

Do you press save once, or press it 2 or 3 times even when your IDE indicates that it's saved?

Do you try this?

I maintain a service that people are billed yearly for. A bunch of users just requested a new feature that will require me to build a completely new backend and change a bunch of things that will require a full rewrite of a couple different aspects of the service. I'm both excited and scared. Wish me luck.

Any other 30+ year old developer that didn't start the dev career too long ago and gets completely depressed when surfing on Quora? Reading 100 about "developer career being over after 30" when mine started at 29 isn't too good a motivation

Gooooood morning, 🦆 ducks!

!RANT

Christmas holidays have begun for me!
Time to work quite on some projects I haven't had time to work on.

And in true @Haxk20 fashion, the first thing I'll do is to update my kernel.

Dart helps you craft beautiful, high-quality experiences across all screens

... Not my screen though

I forgive them 😊

C: “Look, I agree that these are likely leading practices, but we really don’t need all that.”

M: “These aren’t even leading practices, these are the bare minimum practices to help ensure secure login sessions and that account passwords aren’t trivially compromised.”

C: “How do I put this...? You’re trying to secure us against the hacker. That’s a noble goal. But my only concern is the auditor.”

M: “...”

Anyone else keep doing this or is it just me? 🤔

If I could get a dollar for every bit of irony.

Google has its own Linux Distribution for its internal Employees. Its called Goobuntu.

Goobuntu is based on the normal Ubuntu versions, but is used by internal employees of Google. Its not currently available for general public.

Installing the nvidia drivers on my linux machine is the bigges nightmare I've come across sofar. As soon as I have installed it and reboot, blackscreen and literally no way around it. Starting the desktop, nah stuck in a crashloop. Installing different driver, same issue. Using diffrent distro, that shit wont even boot properly. Uninstalling the driver seems to fix it but whats the point of running only on third gen i5 graphics. Shit cant even handle 1080p yt properly. And there are ppl saying if it aint broke dont fix it. FFS I DESPISE MAKING COMPROMISES WHEN I FUCKING KNOW IT CAN WORK BUT ATM IT IS NOT IN THE FREAKING MOOD TO DO SO!

Windows Universal Platform... what the fuck??

I want to set the button cursor to a hand. Here's how you do it:

private void button_PointerEntered(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
Windows.UI.Xaml.Window.Current.CoreWindow.PointerCursor = new Windows.UI.Core.CoreCursor(Windows.UI.Core.CoreCursorType.Hand, 1);
}

Don't forget to do the opposite when the mouse leaves!

FUCK YOU

Firefox browser..

"Whoops closed the wrong tab there by mistake."

"I'll just look at the history and.."

Oh look, "show history" and "clear history" are right next to each other..

What could possibly go wrong..

Oh I'm sure there is one of those 'Are you sure you want to ?" dialogue boxes..

No..

So, now you can't go back to that tab, because its not in the history anymore, and neither is anything else !

Undo command perhaps...
