TIL: since Erlang/OTP 27 and above pattern matching on `0.0` matches only +0.0. You have to pattern match on both, +0.0 and -0.0 to cover both cases.original ↗

PC hardware disappoints my time and time again. I ordered a workstation for faster Rust build times. An i7 13700 with 16 cores and 24 threads, 64gb RAM and a 1tb Samsung 990 NVMe ssd. While the performance is better than I was hoping for, damn, this machine when used in a casual edit&recompile workflow is as loud as our Dell servers. Fucking hell, how is anyone able to work with this thing on your desk?!original ↗

TIL: you can't sort a read-only array in JS, because `Array.sort` sorts in-place. Also lodash's `_.sort` uses `Array.sort` internally and tries to sort the read-only array.original ↗

Delivering and receiving Emails in the modern internet is such a shit show. The big providers (looking at you, Google and Microsoft!) do their own shit, and the old protocols are at least inofficially deprecated. Just try to send a mail via SMTP using an Office365 account (e.g. because the customer uses Office365 for their mail). The admin has to manually enable SMTP for users, and then you have to implement shit like XOAUTH2. Sigh.original ↗
