Lovely! Congrats ZSF and onwards!

Also Zig wants to have better memory safety before v1 - there's an issue tracking that in the zig org but I couldn't find it

That's a shame, where I live we thankfully don't have ads on those!

Thank you for your work! I always wondered how those worked, and where the info came from, on top of what it runs on etc -- moreover I love seeing software built that directly improves people's lives :)

If only Garmin had an unlocked LTE watch, it would be perfect. I had been eyeing the Garmin Instinct Solar, with "infinite" battery and Garmin Pay, but to be able to leave my phone home I'd need LTE

Harsh reviewer IMO

> Samsung can become another Apple, but it's gonna take some effort.

For sure, and I hope they will, further competition is always good. I dont know numbers but I guess the ad revenue must be significant since the "generational leaps" and innovations on the mobile department arent there.

It's unfortunate that with Samsung phones you can't uninstall the myriad of bloat apps, not to say of their telemetry volume (compared to Apple at least).

Thank you very much rsc! Golang not only helps me feed my family but also I created many friendships from using it :)

Same for me, and I am using an iPhone X with Safari

Great story. With most interviews nowadays happening on-line, how can you recognize companies such as your friend's?

You could do the same with a map[Color]struct{} and the lookup would be "if _, ok := Colors[Green]; ok {"

If you joined while they were remote, you may stay so, but otherwise they are pushing for people to go back to the office. I guess they invested too much in real estate.

But how do you avoid duplicating the interface in many places?

We've tried both approaches, declaring the interface in one package and importing it where used but also declaring it directly colocated with the consumer.

I've found the first approach worked better when we had to add or modify the interface methods

When you say not advertised do you mean not even posted on LinkedIn and you have to go through the company's website yourself?

Sorry but where are you finding these jobs outside of MAANG?

Is there more homogeneity in their values instead of saying culture?

> Most of Europe has similar taxation.

Countries like Czechia or France have lower income tax (5%-10% less)

> 55% personal income tax rate? Yikes! 25% sales tax, 22% corporate tax. Those are some insane taxes.

They do have a tax reduction scheme, but you need an obscene salary for DK standards: https://www.bdo.dk/en-gb/insights/tax-and-vat/27-percent-tax...

Do you sponsor visas?

A shame Guix does not work on Mac and probably never will

What does guix have to do with Nix (genuine question, not snarky)?

What do you think it is missing for Racket to be more widespread in the industry? Do you think being a lisp is the biggest factor or something else?

Running with which company?

A more extreme version of this would be COBOL right? Even if people stopped writing C++ today the amount of code that's already written will last many lifetimes.

Sorry if it is a bit off-topic.

If you just started learning C++, why did you choose it instead of another language? (Rust, C#, Go, etc)

I know a bit of C but feel that the sheer "thickness" of C++ is too daunting and scary to even start.

We need an adblock filter for tinnitus

This will get flagged in 3..2..1.. the comment section is already a cesspool :^)

Since your account is a throwaway, could you name these companies? I'd like to avoid them if possible

I've been considering paying for an LLM to augment my learning, for when I get stuck or can't figure something out.

In terms of courses I am looking at Khan Academy but also https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-01sc-single-variable-calculus... (haven't started so I cant speak for quality)
