semver doesn't work because the difference between a bug fix and a breaking change is whether or not you feel like bumping the major version number

also cuz half the projects using "semver" actually just use 0.x releases because they cba to use semver

every change is a breaking change. especially the bug fixes.

if your library is constantly adding new functionality but never fixing any of the old broken stuff then it's a good candidate for semver

semver just means never releasing patch releases because lol at bothering to backport poo poo after you've merged in new features

if you care about anything other than "will compile successfully after upgrade", semver has nothing to offer you. you pin to a specific version, then you check the change log and/or run your tests to see if things break when you upgrade when the only thing you want a versioning scheme to tell you is "will compile successfully after upgrade", unless that's enforced by tooling, people will gently caress it up. you check the change log and/or run your tests to see if things break when you upgrade in conclusion, if you only care about compilation success, set version ranges and use elm. otherwise, pin everything and don't waste your time (may not work for libraries specifying their own dependencies, as there is rarely a way to say "I am compatible with the following versions of my dependencies" other than semver ranges, so you're kinda stuck there)

PIZZA.BAT posted:terrible programming question: if i'm building processes on the same machine that i want to communicate with each other is there any reason to not just use localhost? from what i can gather the OS is smart enough to remove most of the overhead when you use it so it's fairly efficient. i have a series of python modules which will need to communicate with a java machine where they'll be exchanging roughly 100k messages per second, so if there's a way for them to communicate that's significantly more efficient i should probably go with that instead In case someone else looks at this and needs something easy but maybe less efficient I've used this in the past https://zeromq.org/ It's a wrapper around unix sockets or tcp that lets you send structured messages or raw data. And it has bindings for python and java

the 0mq guide is a nice read I've never actually used 0mq for a non-toy so I have no idea how useful the guide is, but I enjoyed reading it quote:All other 3.x versions up to 3.2.1 are only compatible with themselves, which is unfortunate but caused by releases 3.0 and 3.1 which broke the protocol without adding any version information. welp

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:rip to pieter hintjens, who followed semver, and wrote something more useful than every python programmer on earth combined I was on a podcast I was invited on (as a regular guest), with Pieter Hintjens being the actual primary guest for the week, and it got derailed so hard the host had to cancel the recording and re-schedule another week with a list of topics not to discuss. The original recording was derailed because somehow, Hintjens got started on his theory that women just naturally drop out of tech as they get more free because they think differently, with his primary proof being that under soviet rule, tech in the USSR was 50-50 in genders, and after the soviet union fell, it got out of balance. Therefore women who felt freer just got different jobs they liked more and we should embrace that. (most of my derailing was just about asking things like "what's so special about real estate where the ratio is still 50-50? Are they less free?" to try and have him painted into a corner, and eventually just turned more and more antagonostic by calling it loving dumb or something) I never liked him much after finding out about these sort of hosed up views, and his whole bit about men work like this, women prefer work like this set of growing  theories always sat weird, and he never backed down. It's cast in a weird light after he had his voluntary euthanasia but I'm sort of glad that old podcast didn't turn into an extra platform for this poo poo. There's no real point to my post, it just sent me down memory lane.

idk sounds like he might have a point for a sample size of 1 because no woman wanted to work with him and given the choice, left the entire industry instead.

was talking to a friend about date formatting (lol what is wrong with me) and he mentioned an excellent bug which was that their HR system didn't adjust for daylight time when it came to handling promotion times, so if you got promoted it took effect at 11pm the day before it was supposed to. He reckoned they'd spent 10k of extra money by paying a calculated hourly rate 1hr too soon.

Lord help me, I'm going to learn C solely to create my own Pokemon ROMhack. Ironically, in college I flunked out of the programming path (twice), and in general just did very poorly in college. And now, part of me can't help but think: would this count as "programming experience"? Does having a finished project, even a hobby one, and practical experience, even for a hobby, make me hireable? Regardless, even if it doesn't, I'll still be learning C. "Real" programming is just the next logical step after several years of modding video games. I'm already used to futzing around in other dev's custom proprietary stuff, figuring how it works, what I can and can't do, what can be worked around and what has to be worked with. It's been my main hobby for years now. I enjoy it and I'm enjoying the ability to root around directly in a game's code.

the pokemon rom hacking community is a batshit niche with all sorts of crazy decompilation stuff going on so it wouldn't surprise me if someone wrote some kind of object loader that can link compiled C into a specific set of game boy ROMs without issue

I haven't read K&R so take this with a pinch of salt but from what I understand it can teach you some very bad habits, since it was written in a very different time and in a very different context. It teaches you that it's good to use clever tricks like the infamous "while (*p++ = *q++);" (because compilers were stupid and computers were limited but also because people like showing off their cleverness) and also promotes the Garbage In Garbage Out principle (but enough about my posting) which was the original sin that lead to most of the infosec hellscape we have today.
