IntelliJ has been crashing like crazy recently. I tried the @RedHat Java LSP in VsCode I'm impressed!

linkedin.com/pulse/thoughts… This technology hype cycle has featured all kinds of speculation that GenAI will become all-powerful and be the downfall of human civilization. That’s just silly: it’s like saying that having the ability to multiply huge matrices will end humanity.

@terrajobst @FransBouma @praeclarum I like that in newer programming environments. The vm updates brings new features and you run your old code until it bites you. Upgrades become much less hassle..

@nilostolte Every migration has ups and downs. Go to mac: good unix support, but window manager is a bit worse especially with mutliple screens.

He's migrating from "Windows" to "Mac." Windows is an OS + a windowing system, while a "Mac" is a whole machine - but he's mainly complaining about Mac OS + windowing system, apparently. It's very interesting to see that a Mac is not as user friendly as people think. Thoughts?

So rust is the solution to everything even climate change right?

@rakyll I believe config and code changes have different constraints. Code can be more arbitrary, but is easier to test. Code changes may be harder to roll back (e.g. schema changes). But their impact can totally be the same.

This gives insights why a typical staged rollout didn't catch the bug. CrowdStrike made a compromise to roll out config changes faster. In my experience, config changes are no different from code changes. And they are usually more error-prone than code. x.com/eastdakota/sta…
Matthew Prince 🌥@eastdakota

@IAmDougLewis @CrowdStrike I guarantee you they have tight controls on code roll out. They have looser controls on config rollout. It’s tough as a security company because you see a new threat and you want to fix it fast. You don’t expect your own config to explode. But sometimes it does.

@KDimitratos You can also double the sample size, because for my wife and I it would be the same 🤣

This is fascinating. When more men were dying from Covid than women at the start of the pandemic, one of my doctors suggested estrogen might be protective. But what if the Covid tests weren’t picking up positives in women properly?

@KDimitratos That's a sample size of 2. You'd need 1000+ probably. It may be true, but it's hard to draw a conclusion this quickly.

@wrd83 I don’t know, I saw both of my parents have Covid for six weeks in March 2020: my mother cleaned out the entire garage by herself while she was positive/sick, whereas my father was bedridden and ended up hospitalized for five days.

I never thought about it more deeply. But I think Germany's expansion on gas and shutdown of nuclear is one of the reasons I ended up in Switzerland...

@danieldietrich Lotus exige s 2008. But paying 40k for a 20yo clunker is a hard sell. Possibly a gr86, or an mx5..

I'm against electric cars in its current form, but I think short distance trips should not be cars. So I'll get an ebike.

@wrd83 Currently I own a Range 8V 4.4L but drive by bike or walk 95% of the time. If I could afford it, I would love to own a AMG G65 12V. Guess I am in midlife crisis 🤷‍♀️
