Calashle0202 | 6 years ago | on: Caddy Proposal: Permanently change all proprietary licensing to open source

Never heard of the project, but looks good. Good to see they are making efforts to change the license.

Curious, who/when would you use caddy? If I were to be building and deploying microservices with the likes of Gin, Mux, etc.. would I have a use for this library? Or is this primarily for those wanting to serve static html pages? Still trying to get a foot hold on what my tool kit is going to consist of to build my software product.

While working through your experience with Rust, would you mind writing down (doesn't have to be more than a couple of words and maybe a code snippet) diagnostic errors that were hard to understand or that were misleading? That feedback is invaluable in making rustc friendlier.

The worst part isn't when the game launches and does poorly, but during development.

Most devs are passionate gamers themselves, and even if our own priduct doesn't turn out great, doesn't mean we don't know what makes a good game. So most of us know that the product we're working on isn't gonna be a GOTY.

There's a few stages to it, similar to the stages of grief:

    Denial: "If I pull extra hours, I can fix this feature. We can turn this around."

    Anger: Frustration and anger that's usually directed towards upper management ("why did we have to make this decision? why don't we have enough staff? why are we launching in three months?"

    Acceptance: "Whatever, you can't always bat 1000. As long as my job is secure after all this, I'm fine."
And worst of all, apathy, where the passion you once had has been sapped from you, and what you thought was a dream job, has turned into just another routine motion you go through.

Very nice work! I am not sure what method of analysis would be the most appropriate, but the sequence matrix deserves a closer look. You mention the possibility of one side being preferentially followed by another one, but you only investigate the simple case of the two sides being equal (preference for the diagonal). However, the correlation could be less obvious, such as one side being followed by its opposite, or by an adjacent one.

So how come SpaceX employees don't revolt over the use of their rockets for military payloads?

Elon Musk is literally out there launching a satellite surveillance network to help the military spy on the entire planet, meanwhile Microsoft employees are getting hung up on a headset that will maybe improve their aim, or maybe lead to fewer deaths in the field.

Besides that, was there ever a time where Microsoft wasn't selling their services to the U.S. military? It's hard to resist a contract from the world's largest employer.
