It's not just about up and down. The market can e.g. price in future inflation by going up: an inflationary environment means higher prices, higher margins on investments made now etc. The market can also stagnate while foreign markets grow 3x in the same time (compare EWG with SPY).

Metro station TVs occasionally showed it last year already.

Winglang was made by the guy who designed AWS' SDK. In 1-2 years the ideas from all of these should coalesce and give us a new generation of libraries to deal with multicloud or something like this. (Or at a minimum, give us a programmatic way to deal with it instead of yaml)

Sorry, I never used twitter so I'm unfamiliar with how to condense to the char limit

They are all ways of dealing with the complexity of cloud systems, trying to abstract it away. Some are whole languages e.g. winglang with cloud primitives like how go has concurrency ones. Others are libraries etc

You might find this interesting: betterprogramming.pub/securing-you...

Just a general thank you for all the interesting posts you're making

In Russia code stares at you, slowly debugs you into a new person

Aha, I thought you meant the official one: opendev.org/x/golang-cli... (which is incomplete, so actually worse) and wanted to compare that other...

Anyway, the construct programming model's growing and we should have a few new tries like tablam, winglang, shuttle, encore, klo or ballerina, for go

Is the #nukesky hashtag required?

What will you be reading?

What's your plan for improving Go, besides normal work?
January 2, 2024 at 5:10 PM
You're wrong because Gophercloud is fine

github.com/gophercloud/...

N.b. I thought hashtags don't work here?

Before: 2 hours! Ah what possibilities await me if I synthesize x and y! But what about... Oh well, I'll just bring them all and decide onboard!

After: That sure was a good movie! I wonder what the person next to me's name was

What about leather working or carpentry?

Before the war, there was already a shortage of ammunition in the Bundeswehr. By June 2023, only 20,000 HE rounds sat in its stockpile. Rhetinmetall only received 1 order in 2019 for 155mm.

The slow ramp up leads from this. But capacity is being built: 60-80k in 2022, but 350-450k for 2023.
