I have been working with golang the past few weeks. Seems like it is getting more adopted. Lots of our 1.8 Java apps are being rewritten in Go. Still have some die hard Java fans, but most teams are looking at other languages.

Garuda. Looked pretty and tried it for a day or two and noped out. Went back to Manjaro before I figured out how to install Arch without the installer

seems like a git gui project. but I am still not 100% sure if that is the correct answer

Top right. Would be better if black and silver.

I was on a Microsoft systems admin/engineer path for a while and an opportunity opened for a KVM/XEN engineer and I was the one only person in my office to accept the offer. That was back in the RHEL/CentOS 4 days.

After playing around a bit I got hooked and haven't gone back down the MS path since then.

Have you used this? Is there any benefits over bash-completion?

[–] NixDev@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

i do the same. If I get stuck on something best thing to do is get away. Shower, walk, food shopping, etc... just get away from the problem and destress so you can tackle it with a fresh perspective

Just curious have you tried Go for this? Go was recently approved at work and I have seen articles about Go for things like this and just wondering if it is worth it. I have been using ansible and chef but need to explore other options. I want to use Rust but I know the road blocks I will have to work through at work. So just wondering if you had any insights to Go over Rust

Until recently I never heard of crystal. There is a humble bundle for programming that includes a crystal book. That was the first time I heard of it.

I will have to take a look at the language. Who knows when having knowledge of crystal will be useful

Congratulations on having something that helped your life. That's honestly great. But come on you have to admit they manage to find a way to mess up your personal time. Like clockwork my daughter will start waking up/have a nightmare/want attention/etc a few min after I get time to read/study/game/Netflix/etc...

Kids are great and suck at the same time

edit fix spelling

What I did when I switched was to create an image of my existing install with clonezilla then used it in a vm. This way I didn't have to worry about a dual boot configuration.

Been a while since I did this but it should still work

Wait what? Never knew this was a thing. I wouldn't have been able to be there today, but it would be cool to go to one.
