shut the gently caress up about code formatting. this was never an interesting topic the last 500 times it was discussed, and it is still not an interesting topic

for real this place has soured me on ever wanting to deal with data in a serious way. i am way the gently caress over data forever.

great, you've figured out that you want to write developer tools. now immediately go apply for those jobs. worst case is you're not hired and you try again in 6 months.

returning to topic of job scheduling: anyone knows alternatives to rundeck? my job needs a gui shell for cron jobs with basic tooling like logging or execution emails, since one of our senior developers still doesn’t know how to work with ssh tunnels or command line linux

So, golang has p-lang level error handling. Right now, 75% of my golang code is poo poo like

code:

turd, err := butt.Poop()
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}

I googled a bit to see if there was a better pattern for error handling, because this seems kinda lovely compared to java or c#. Welp, the articles I found titled "error handling best practices" basically say to do this poo poo I've already been doing.

Seems bad.

it is wild to me that there are people who unironically laud go's error handling. have they never used an adult language before

If you don't like the default latex font just use lmodern sans, it's much better.

ctps: really want to build some sort of basic space simulation thing, perhaps simply trying to model our own solar system at first. visually i'm imagining the overhead view in stellaris.

it sounds like a distraction but i'm pretty interested in space and space physics and among many other things i've been vaguely considering computational astronomy if i go back to school.

e: yah i'm gonna try this, does anyone know anything about it? I'm probably picking up this book: https://www.amazon.com/Astrophysics-PC-Introduction-Computational/dp/0943396433

my first lovely programmer job was being a temp at a place optimizing sql queries to speed up crystal reports that were embedded in ASP 1.0 pages, which used COM objects for database access.

after 8 months the other lead devs left and I was the lead.

ctps: golang. jfc I wish this lang had real error handling. I can only handle expected errors and if you have an unexpected error somewhere lmao good luck, and may all your panics not be silently recovered somewhere else.

as a childless nerd I can confirm factorio is far more interesting than learning a research language.

theres no reason to not leave all those commits in other than bullshit ego. nobody gives a poo poo if you wrote something dumb in an initial revision, we care that the history is there so we can go back for context or to retrieve aborted designs that should be revisited.

my favorite solution to the master/slave fight is redis's where they kept the words but added a note in the docs to remind people that slavery is bad

No I know what was happening: I was using an entrypoint script that explicitly set home to /tmp
