  • The thing that annoys me the most is how it cares about whitespace/carriage returns. I remember back in college when I was taking a CS class, learning Python and writing the Code on a Windows PC, emailing it to myself, and then attempting to run the code on Linux. Before I learned about the carriage return conversions, I remember having to rewrite about 75 lines of code before I got it to run. 🤬







  • It’s probably slightly more difficult for them to make, compared to pressed pills, also marketing is at play and they are trying to make you think it’s worth the increase, but it’s definitely not. I’m in the US as well, and the prices are definitely ridiculous. Apparently Tylenol Liquid Gels are a relatively new thing (I swore they had been out for like a decade) and I remember seeing a bottle like 6 months ago that was $27 for like 30 pills! A regular bottle of solid Tylenol was like $15 for 65 pills. Who in their right mind would opt for the Liquid Gels?








  • I’m a Linux System Engineer and was the only one in my team that knew Go. I decided to update our mess of old shell scripts for post-provisioning and my boss suggested that I do it in Python so it can easily by edited/fixed by anyone on the team. I spent like two days attempting to do it in Python and then gave up because it would mean transferring a bunch of source code around, installing dependencies and just general annoyances.

    In the end the Go project ended up being about 1300 lines of code across a few source files, but it could act as both the client and server (necessary for our hosts in our DMZ to hit our AWX server) with a single binary and no additional dependencies. It was also only like 10 MB.
