For the vast majority of use cases, you could try using the jlottie player (15kb gzipped) instead of lottie-web. jlottie was built to support a limited set of Lottie features, based on the data we have, to support 80+% of the Lottie animations we typically see.

Tell me you never ran a large code base in production, without telling me.

Past a certain point there are no "simple code changes" anymore. Automation and functional QA needs to ensure zero regressions, internal and external docs need to be considered, it all needs to be bundled in with many other code changes (feature and fixes), etc. There is no shortcut. Even FB had to dial back their "break shit in prod" mantra.

Of course startup devs hate this, real men fuck around in production, which is great. Running and maintaining a large code base is very grown up sport, more like running a country than building a house. For those on the other side, who inherit startup code and have to fold it in ... the hatred is mutual.
That's a great in-depth look, thank you.
>If a solution covers these aspects well enough without having to share telemetry,

MythTV[0] does okay with video and music libraries.

It's available as packages on most distributions[1] which allows me to keep my front end and back ends synched just by performing regular package updates.

It is open source and can also be compiled from source[2] if you prefer it that way.

I run my back end on a VM with 4GB RAM and 2 vCPUs. My front end is a fanless miniPC[3] (I bought it almost three years ago, so I'm sure you can do better now for the same money) which renders 1080p/Stereo (I don't have a surround-sound system, but that's definitely supported) via HDMI pretty flawlessly. I imagine that a newer front end device could easily handle 4K (although I don't have a device to display that) resolution.

Edit: I'd add that the front end and back and can run on the same system, but the physical layout of my home made it more useful to split the two.

The Mythtv Wiki[4] is also pretty good for many set up/configuration issues.

It's not perfect by any measure, but it does the job without telemetry or external dependencies.

Core MythTV development seems pretty active, but the broader "ecosystem" (plugins, addons, etc.) is very weak.

Risk is the only issue. Regulations are to ensure banks have the risk-bearing capacity that they say they do. A formalization of risk-bearing capacity, if you will.

Sounds like you could be getting the blues from working there…
Does Go's runtime do generational collection? No. Does it support tailcalls? I have no idea but I doubt so. Without these there cannot be any chance for OCaml-on-go; more blockers would probably come to mind quite quickly.
One thing you should consider (not an infra eng myself, but I know a lot at the FAANG where I work) is that the infra team gets a lot of requests for stuff like that.

There's a general dislike of special-casing all build deploy run pipelines for some team's snowflake needs, since once you put a feature in, you have to support it forever. So one suggestion is that you look really closely at your own service and ask: can you change that to fit the framework? The majority of times an infra eng gets a request that amounts to "we can't use the framework until it does X", the answer is actually, "you should not want to do X, for reasons Y".

This might not be your specific issue, but if you want the thing soon, work on the parts of the codebase you do have control over.

And in general, yes. This is how big companies tend to work. Teams plan out effort far in advance. I have an ask to a sister team right now for 2022 planning, and I would be delighted if they came back and said "Q1". There's a million things all going on at once.
I can't think of a language that compiles to a runtime that it wasn't originally designed to target, in a way that permits interop with code written in a different language targeting that runtime, without requiring the programmer to maintain constant vigilance against interop-related bugs. In particular, either the same code has different semantics depending on which runtime it's targeting, or some data types have multiple different not-quite-100%-compatible runtime representations. Kotlin/JS, Kotlin/Native, GWT and its successor J2CL, ClojureScript, etc., all seem to have this problem.

I'd also note to the OP that in might help to treat the acquiring company like the Borg: they acquired you, and now it's on you to serve their needs, not necessarily the other way around. If your app isn't quite compatible with their infrastructure, the right move is probably to modify your app, not ask them to modify their infrastructure. That might be annoying, but it's probably also the reality of your situation for the the time being.
Why do you hate claret/bourdeaux?
Heroin by prescription is already available in Switzerland, Germany, the UK, and Canada, probably a number of other countries. In some places, it is considered the standard of treatment for intractable heroin addiction that has failed other treatments repeatedly. This is not new; the idea has been floated around for about a century and used on-and-off, particularly in the UK. Methadone therapy is basically the same idea but substituting a different opioid due to the stigma associated with diamorphine. Hydromorphone is becoming popular lately for this too. When taken under medical supervision (most programs require the addict to come to a clinic daily for dispensing) the physical and social harms are considerably less than using street heroin. The lack of legal, personal and other chaos from always chasing after the next dose often lets people stabilize their lives and wean themselves off.

In one of the more thorough studies on this, in Germany about 15 years ago, almost 40% of participants had voluntarily weaned themselves off with slowly decreasing doses after two years. Nearly all had decreased their use of street drugs. Nearly all were housed, some 60% were employed. Most persons admitted to the program had been homeless and and all were unemployed at the start. The average duration of heroin use was more than 20 years.

That is a remarkable result. It led to Germany making maintenance therapy generally available for addicts. And it keeps being repeated. There's a large body of evidence supporting the slow self-guided taper for benzodiazepine addiction as well, and a small but growing body that suggests it may work for a great many kinds of various addictive drugs, including stimulants. If we minimize the social and economic chaos to the addict by simply giving them their drug, that give them the opportunity to choose to stop using it. It's an uncomfortable proposition, counterintuitive to some, but the study results are compelling and must be wrangled with.

Based on only what you have posted you should leave in a controlled manner. No matter how you feel, you should avoid doing things that burn bridges. If something catastrophic happens, I've seen large companies be incredibly generous, either by opening up roles to take folks back, or offering long-term contract jobs where the person gets back eventually. Smaller organizations rarely have the flexibility to make that happen.

However, there are good reasons not to leave immediately, including vesting, the opportunity that being acquired by $LARGE_CORPORATION may present (you aren't solely responsible, but you've helped build something that was acquired, which is experience worth something to some people), and expending perks that $LARGE_CORPORATION may offer (often these aren't all made visible to you.) If you have trusted peers that have left, or are potentially leaving, you may want to check-in with them.

I think it's the other way around. C# is a much stronger language than JS.

It shouldn't be a big deal (theoretically) to transpile C# to JS (though you'd have to provide interfaces for any existing JS code you'd like to interact with).

The other way - JS->C# - is a lot hairier.

Compare compiling a typed language to bytecode vs "decompiling" from bytecode to an unavoidable plate of spaghetti.

I spend a lot of time thinking through problems with pen and paper, and also highlighter and printer, and whiteboard. I've found this class of tools often lets me focus on a problem with less distraction.

It's not always the right tool, and of course the code must be typed up sooner or later.

I often work in environments where the development cycle time is terribly slow for one reason or another, which puts a premium on thinking through things ahead of time.
Parentheses are way better than em-dashes for parenthetical remarks.

A set of parentheses make the syntax unambiguous.

An em-dash is “that multifaceted, all-purpose punctuation mark that can act as a parenthesis, comma, colon, semicolon or even quotation mark”.

Also I have spent too much time with computer languages, and I personally find the lack of spacing around the parenthetical em-dash to be an ugly syntax. Then again, I don’t closely adhere to the English rules of punctuation, because some of the standard rules make for ugly writing IMHO.

Mostly I try to avoid parenthetical statements because they are often a sign of lazy wishy-washy writing. I guess em-dashes are OK in novels where the text context usually makes the semantic meaning clear enough.

Edit: “The Chicago Manual as a style guide calls for no spacing before and after dashes. In British usage and in some style guides, spaced en dashes are used place of an em dash. Sometimes the space you see before and after the dash is actually a special character called a ‘hair space’ or a ‘thin space.’”. https://danieljtortora.com/blog/en-dashes-and-em-dashes-part...

Edit: “Most newspapers — and all that follow AP style — insert a space before and after the em dash.”. https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/em-dash.html

Edit: From C2: “U+2014 EM DASH is used to make a break—like this—in the flow of a sentence. (Some typographers prefer to use U+2013 EN DASH set off with spaces – like this – to make the same kind of break.) This kind of dash is commonly represented with a typewriter as a double-hyphen.”

Edit: Also see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Em_dash
Exactly this. It's not too hard to think about the intake of random requests a popular team may receive. Even code reviewing a patch from a separate team carries its own set of eyes, which is still work for the team. There's a ton of context OP is probably not familiar with and walking them through all of that baggage is not worth the effort. While this may seem annoying from an outside team's perspective, it's the only way to really focus on their roadmap and be able to commit to scheduled work.
In the end I checked what 4chan used.
In the past they used Gandi.
Currently they use Cloudflare.

I went with Gandi as I suspect their support is more geared toward domain specialization. I don't like companies with no margins, and as Cloudflare domain sales officialy have no margin so they are definitely cheap in price, I find their non-paid non-enterprise support bad in quality. Gandi seems ok support and policy wise. Gandi also has paid telephone support if needed in emergency which is fine with me.

> "...training dogs has a huge wealth of actionable knowledge needed to interact with humans..."

yah, i couch this as 'dogs are first-order humans', feeling many of the same emotions (joy, pleasure, contentment, anger, fear, hurt, etc.) but more plainly and openly, without language (standing in for our more developed frontal lobes) as an indirection layer.

that (indirectly) leads to the notion that in the best of circumstances, you don't train (or own) a dog, you develop trust (and a relationship) with them, for which they're willing to cede their independence to your judgement, much like humans and leadership. the leader has to prove their worth to the group, not the other way around.

I found annoying to restart all the windows that depend on Emacs window manager (namely EXWM) every time I used to modify its conf. And I modify its conf way more often that I would for any other window manager (because I use it for programming).

Also, the fact that when Emacs freezes, everything else freezes is a huge problem.

A solution would be to use another Emacs within EXWM? That seems unrealistic: keybindings conflicts I guess, and also, then why use EXWM?

Now I'm happy with Gnome (no conf file) + Emacs with 200 lines conf file (which is small). I love that it takes only 1s to restart Emacs when I play with its conf.
