Team  checking in. I'm being told I'm not a Java Core developer, C++ developer, or Python developer, I don't know anything about Ruby and haven't touched NPM so trying to find the lucky posting on AngelList. Site Reliability Engineering is an alternative but whilst Google gave me an interview everyone else must be looking for something else on a resume.I've been reading on what Elixir + OTP has to offer and looking to use that on a big project but how is that going to do anything but scare potential employers even more. Here's hoping for freelancing as a backup.

yeah, im trying to keep a positive outlook. in one if their follow up emails they also talked about "matching you with startups" so maybe my sense of humor tipped them off that i wouldn't just tirelessly code a hundred hours a week? fucker didn't even know what a brandy old fashioned was.

I really want to use this "diet4j" thing for Java deployment, but I cannot do that in any practical way because people don't generally write Maven packages as if their dependencies actually matter. It's telling that diet4j's imposition of a class loader hierarchy across module dependency boundaries just breaks so much poo poo because "oh hey somebody will provide this thing that I need on the class path somewhere down the line, it's not my problem". Java's deployment story really is "failure wrapped in pain". Push out a 50MB bloatjar containing all of your transitive dependencies and get your hands dirty with implementation details of other peoples' code, adding Maven Shade combiner rules to coalesce multiple instances of the same metadata files in your dependency JARs. and before somebody goes "oh noes 50 whole megabytes!!!11" this poo poo really slows down your compile-deploy-test cycle if you have to push it to a remote testing server every time.

JDK 10 or 11 is supposed to be the saviour here, use modules and build to binaries, alas JDK 9 is Linux plus like one system library only.

here is a list of attributes in which json is superior to xml: not being a pain in the dick to work with. if you need schema validation then there's various json schema projects out there idk. this is probably useful for formally specifying interchange formats and such. alternatively you could just use your language's own type system and serialization library's validation mechanisms instead of using some awful poo poo like xml schema that nobody really understands

I never get why people think being a subset of javascript is a useful property for json to have. it doesn't have this property, but everybody who thinks it does also thinks this is a good thing, and I don't get why in what universe are you just pasting a json literal into a javascript script and expecting it to continue to work? why are you doing that? why aren't you using a javascript object literal, or having the javascript code load its data from the json file? are you dynamically generating javascript??

and then I see the part where you can safely backslash-escape a forward slash in a JSON string, so when you write "<\/script>" it means the same as "</script>" but doesn't accidentally terminate your <script> block so I guess, yeah, json is specifically intended to be used for dynamically interpolating into javascript code

could be worse, it could be like my coworkers which have imposed yaml with java/scala just the other day i had to fight with some yaml config that wouldn't recognize a yaml array value and i literally had to inline the array using the json syntax yaml also supports for some reason just to make it work now that i think about it it could just have been that the items were indented three spaces instead of two, but if that was the problem,  yamlLuigi Thirty posted:well i haven't figured out the amiga's built-in blitter-based animation system yet but i can draw a bunch of bitmaps in succession so my amiga can play the WHOLE GIF show us the video evidence luigi

Flat Daddy posted:SAME. was the correct answer "they're all the same during prime time"?  last time I was interviewing I had one company reject me after an informal offer and the HR drone apologized to me and said they had never seen that happen before. another one the company imploded between scheduling my flight and the on-site. I'm 40% convinced that the process is universally terrible as a way to make employees less likely to look for different jobs.

at least yaml has some useful features like fudging custom types that aren't just strings, allowing references to other chunks of a document, and actually specifying syntax to separate documents in a stream dunno if I'd want to trust arbitrary yaml to get parsed securely, seems kinda hard to parse then again, no-two-json-parsers-parse-alike.png also I'm pretty sure the attempt to wedge json syntax into the yaml spec ended up with caveats due to json underspecification it's cool how json so resembles a subset of other languages yet simultaneously refuses to cleanly do so

it sets the lifetime of a variable to be the function it's in. incidentally, this is what happens if you put no modifier in front of a variable so it's completely useless
