It's a weird relationship. I was with the company a few years ago when there were only 13 people, so there is the nepotism factor. Also I've been working with them for almost a full year again and equity is part of my contract.

Almost, there are a few months of overlap where I was a W2 with both, but working for my new company while doing nothing at my previous.

Edit*
Back then I was seriously debating subcontracting my job to my guys, but I didn't want to give then a completed product.

C is C++ friend, except classes are now structs and you should only use it if you are poking registers.
And even then only in Kernel land. Also there isn�t a rich standard library.

i can read and write it but it feels like there's a very wide gulf between knowing C and being able to writte quality C. this is probably just an experience thing.

I suppose you can say the same thing for modern C++, but I feel like C++ is nudging me in the right direction whereas C is just saying "alright good luck!"

C gives you a loaded gun and will sit back and smile as you point it at your face and pull the trigger.
Modern C++ does indeed try to protect you from that.

i've always found C very easy to read/use but I also wrote a poo poo-ton of cross-platform C for quite a long time in a professional setting so i'm probably biased.

most C I write now is embedded stuff or linux kernel drivers, but i don't write much C anymore overall.

i guess these days, if you're writing (non-legacy) C the scope is probably small. with a few notable exceptions ofc.

Terrible DevOps:
My team is writing a new microservice for our cloud application, which is managed by the Indian team. As such, we want to make a build that matches production so we can run and modify it on our servers.

The Indian team is unable to provide me with a commit ID of our product that matches the production server.

The production server has a bunch of libraries that are newer than the libraries listed in the POM.xml. They insist this is OK. :allears:

Edit: This is the same Indian team that has 450+ branches and 2 Jenkins servers that are both broken.

ctps: i wrote some java today and it is much better than the python it's replacing, in that e.g. it actually does the right thing and reports certain types of problem immediately instead of doing the wrong thing and just kind of mostly working by accident

also it has enough tests that i actually have some confidence it is correct

i think I posted about our shared libraries before but yeha our prod stuff had dlls that have no relation to what's in the source for the libs and the only other person that might have known where the gently caress they came from got made redundant so current process is "keep copying those dlls from app to app and don't touch anything!" nobody else seems to think this is an issue.

also i had to try and explain a rebase to our offshore team and said "look ill send you a step by step because I've got to do one" and about half way through realised that there's no loving way they would follow it and I was wasting my time

btw, whats the pythonic way of reading a text file that you dont know the encoding of in advance?

especially when using argparse.FileType, which accepts an encoding argument

code:

	dictparser.add_argument('input', type=argparse.FileType('r', encoding='utf-8')) # what if its Windows-1252??

hmm this appears to work

code:

import chardet

def get_encoding(file):
	with open(file, 'rb') as f:
		detection = chardet.detect(f.read(1024*50))
		return detection['encoding']

class MyFileType(argparse.FileType):
	def __call__(self, string):
		if self._mode == 'r':
			self._encoding = get_encoding(string)
			return super().__call__(string)
		else:
			return super().__call__(string)

code:

	dictparser.add_argument('input', type=MyFileType('r'))

feels hacky tho

depends how stereotypical the files are. what if the first 50kb is entirely ascii and then there's a curly quote after that? you still don't know how that will be encoded.

chardet is smarter than most heuristic approaches but it's still a heuristic so it will get things wrong sometimes. the only method that is guaranteed to work, if that matters, is to require the charset to be specified, either in another argument or in the file's header.

Carthag Tuek: Oct 15, 2005; Tider skal komme,

yea, i should have an option for setting input file charset to override the detection

also i guess i could read 500kb instead, that shouldnt be too bad performance wise right?
