From my POV I will say that it's a sad state. MySQL 8.0 was released back in 2018. So after 5 years of development, we have 10 new features. I'm not surprised. Oracle is one of the biggest cancers in IT world.
I submitted this with the correct 8.1 link, and somehow HN keeps changing it to the 8.0 link automatically upon submission! Super weird behavior on HN's side.
I tried re-submitting the 8.1 link, and it did it again, and also marked it as a dupe. Maybe I'll try submitting the corresponding blog post instead, although the title on that doesn't explicitly mention how 8.1 is released, so it's unlikely to get traction here...
Regarding your second paragraph though, you're completely mistaken. MySQL 8.0 used a rolling release model of adding new features in every quarterly release. They're just changing the versioning scheme starting today with 8.1.
If the existing code is old-school enough to use thousands of global variables in a thread-unsafe way, seems like changing it enough to compile as safe Rust code would push the "non-trivial" envelope pretty far.
Had a couple, overwhelming majority is worthless. I have to cover their work all the time. It's literally "hey can you put together a plan" and then "can you analyze this plan..". Combined with an utter refusal to solve any real problems because that could lead to conflict and make them look bad.
Wrong. It's called not doing anything. Delegation involves understanding the work and thoughtfully passing it out and then aggregating the results. Doing so without any consideration makes the process less efficient.
I realize the impossibility of it happening, but I would love for a former manager to chime in one of these "management is worthless" posts and give us the low-down on the quality of throw1234's work. As the saying goes, there's three sides to every story...
They wouldn't know, because they don't do anything, engage, or care about the product.. When they appear or leave, nothing changes on the team, unless they want to mimic action and over-correct and create issues with other teams or management.
P.S. I understand what you are doing here, but it's funny because you set it up the conversation for this literally true reply inadvertently instead.
P.S.S. emphasis on "care" - there is a lot of business layers that go through the motions and it just backfires because there is no understanding or intent in it. A bit harder to be that level of present but mentally absent as a dev.
This already happens. Well connected sit in multiple boards, while holding positions in local public administrations, "charities", and sometimes other higher up political positions.
Did anyone had a situation after entering the portal that it didn't teleport you, but you were in some different space with purple color and you had to move forward to be teleported? I had this once on the DM2 map. I tried to repeat this, but I never succeeded.
That should be a known bug on a specific teleport that exists on the DM2 map. Not sure if it's also present on "regular" Quake but it's been on QuakeWorld for as long as I can remember.
On the backroom (where there is Red Armor and Mega Health) there is a teleport that goes to the main (BIG) room of the map.
If you jump just before the teleport and "aim" your jump so you go in the top left corner of the teleport, you'll get stuck inside the teleport but not go through until you move a bit.
Also, staying stuck for too long on that teleport during a game, will drown your player, which should definitely confuse your opponent as there is no water deep enough to drown players on DM2.
Yeah it's probably qw only. It's pretty easy to get it running these days with the recent clients. You can just download a qw client (ezquake recommended [0]) and extract the executable to your quake folder.
Alternatively you can download nQuake [1], a full pack with most things included except for the non-shareware maps. You can then just place the pak1.pak file inside the id1 folder and make it complete.
The person who forked that language didn't have any experience regarding languages/compilers before that fork. Later he tried to create BrainFuck like an interpreter and some unspecified lang parser/lexer.
Recently there were a few commits in this language after 3 weeks of silence. It's a vanity project of one twitch influencer.
