Everyone loves to complain about how bad Google has gotten, but nobody wants to do anything about it. If you hate the SEO spam and cookie banners and newsletters, make a website without those. Any time you struggle to find information in a

I hated all the configuration stuff to get a usable vim ide. VS Code and its plugins Just Work™ for ide stuff with almost no setup so it was a lot easier for me to just use vs code with vim bindings than to get a good vim setup. Plus I can

I don't have the data to back this up, but I've been operating under the assumption that the majority of people access the internet through their smart phones more than any other devices. Maybe it's my age, but a lot of peopl

This title feels pretty inaccurate. It's not an overview of single-purpose Linux distributions, it's an overview of a few Linux distributions whose single purpose is to host containers. I got excited to read about weird Linux vari

I would love some context from either parent commenter here. This is the first I've heard of security concerns with zig, though admittedly I don't use it much.

I always love seeing tricks like this from designers but then I never see anything this cool on the web otherwise. Where do all these great designers work and why don't I ever get to see the products they make?

I've been struggling with knowing how to spend money now that I have it. I don't even have that much, just slightly above a median salary but that's so much more than I've ever had before. I spent all of college wonderin

The specific issues I had weren't related to the aur, they were oversights from Manjaro. I'm okay with things breaking when it's my fault.

I used to use OpenSuse Tumbleweed but ended up switching to Manjaro for the AUR. Currently in the process of moving to Arch after all the problems I've had with poorly documented Manjaro updates that break half my system.

It's not a personal choice thing most of the time, it's just the way our infrastructure was designed. I couldn't walk to the grocery store even if I wanted to.

The fixed width irks me on mobile. Way too much whitespace in some lines.

Depending on the language and framework you're using, there may be options for logging that's non-intrusive. For example, Spring Aspects and Python decorators. Clean logging is a very common problem that probably already has a lot

When you say it like that I can't help but factor in inflation. Even though McGee paid the loan back, the value of it will be significantly lower today than when he borrowed it.

I'd also add general theory of education content to that. How do we expect people to learn if they don't understand teaching?

To be fair, trying to figure out Maven and proper Java IDE integration (which is essential) can also be pretty miserable. Even though there aren't as many tool choices to deal with, the ones that exist can get really complicated and ha

I'm interested in the concept of concurrency, but is there anywhere that it would be useful outside of scientific applications and operating systems? It feels like a powerful paradigm to master but I'm just not sure it's wort

Between doubting her ability to drive and not remembering key life events, frankly I worry about the author's well-being.

Iirc that's a common occurrence. For some reason Microsoft really wants phone numbers associated with accounts.

This is a relatively common use case for browsers that's usually solved by tab groups. I'm happy the author learned bash and leveraged new tools to solve the problem, but it's a little over engineered.

I think we may be imagining different scenarios. I was operating under the idea of a company opening its code up to public scrutiny with enough time to accommodate any changes suggested by qualified members of the public. It seems you'

I ended up deciding to pay for a po box rather than risk leaving expensive packages sitting around. The inconvenience of needing to go to the post office sucks but the price isn't terrible and it basically just acts as insurance. I do

That's just an argument for why it should be open source from the beginning: let bugs be spotted early and be sure the designs are as secure as we can make them before somebody gets saddled with one in their skin for life. Security thr

I guess I struggle to understand why Linux and Windows are always pitted against each other. At this point, they're both good for different things and dual booting is relatively easy. Storage is cheap and Linux is small. I've been

One of the things that's made me the most frustrated learning rust is all the type coercion and inferencing. Sometimes code will just work when I have the wrong mental model because types are coerced but then it ends up biting me later

I don't hate that as a concept. Even if it's never implemented by HN, I don't see why it can't be done by individual users with a web extension.

Agreed. I chatted with it about the Chinese remainder theorem today and it gave me an example that didn't work and then insisted that 30 is not divisible by 2 when I questioned it. This was simple enough to spot but I was halfway throu

I do technically work as a programmer but I make far less than 300k and I'm generally happy with where I am. I mostly program as a hobby so that's the perspective I was coming from. I can see why they would charge more if this is

$30 /month feels like a lot to me. It reminds me of leetcode where I would actually consider paying for the service but the price is just so high I can't justify it for how little time I would spend with it. Maybe the price makes
