I use go pretty regularly, because I like it, but it's not what I get paid to use.
I'm only about 70% sure that Elixir is a programming language and not a typo or something you made up. (I'm kidding... But only just barely kidding...)
If you're concerned with employability, neither language would be in my top 3. (Python, JavaScript, SQL)
Source: I pick up new languages for the lols, and have coded professionally, for money, in about a dozen languages.
More relevant: I hire developers. Some of my team want to write new code in go, but I've instructed them not to, for now. They've never asked about Elixir.
Today, no matter where and how you write your code, there's almost 100% chance that the place it will run is on Linux. Even the places it can run that don't look like Linux, are - in most cases - Linux.
Source: I'm a connoisseur of places code can run that aren't Linux, and they are becoming fewer and farther between every day.
When then kids are ready (mine had some learning curve with the added flying) be sure to also eventually grab Sonic Racing All Stars: Transformed. It's fantastic.
If I've learned anything about Jeffries tubes during the holidays, it's that they probably contain a federation officer who got stuck 'doing a "Die Hard"' on some terrosists.
If I had a nickel for every time that happened...well I would have two nickels. But you have to admit, it's interesting that it happened twice.
(I can't actually name episodes, but I know I've seen this plot at least twice.)
Yeah. I was literally just talking about how my SteamDeck is going to let me retire my remaining Windows PC. And by retire it, I mean install Linux, and continue to enjoy it.
I love this quote as a summary "Hightower wrote that he has empathy for Sizovs but takes "issue" with DevTernity "continuing to advertise speakers who have notified you they will no longer be speaking at the conference" and failing to book a more inclusive lineup when "the pool of qualified speakers is much larger than it has ever been.""
This is news to me. I've been cloning and searching for years because web search was useless. And by useless I mean - I know the word I'm looking for appears in exactly four places, formatted and capitalized exactly this way - and GitHub web search still doesn't find it.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's gotten massively better - but only in the way that choosing to ride a bicycle to work is a massive improvement over sitting on a random rock.
Also also also Quark makes the point that he had programmed the drinks replicator to be even better than a regular one, so you're also paying for that.
Great point.
And to be clear, by "programmed" we mean "installed weird sketchy dark web firmware, some of which he happened to write and sell himself" and by "even better" we mean "breaks lot of Federation food safety rules in fun ways".
