That book is great, I own it myself and it's really good. But that book is more to learn the programming interface - so how the operating system works and the functions you would call for systems programming. It's an excellent boo

Well, don’t take it in the wrong way… I do agree that it’s important, and I’ve personally always made sure to learn lots of theory and do academic and other types of research. I agree with you that preparation and knowledge are super import

One really important detail to mention. An advice or a personal opinion I have. Courses, books and theory are great; but practical experience is much, much better. Only when you are actually immersed in a professional environment doing thin

Take a look at courses from A Cloud Guru, they are great. Consider studying and passing kubernetes certifications, like CKAD or CKA. Probably also consider the AWS ones. After that, you start being more attractive to perform a devops role.

The real HN page in contrast is “nicer” and more “design-aware”, but also bland. Your colour choices are harder on legibility and less standard, but interesting and original in an artistic way. As somebody interested in these kinds of thing

They are beautiful in how they are out of the ordinary, but also difficult to digest for one’s eyes. Orange is complementary colour of blue and green is close to blue as a colour, which produces some visual vibration.

Apologies, I was a little bit sarcastic and I shouldn’t have been. They are striking because they are unexpected.

Sounds good to me, although I’m no longer able to edit the title. Edit: somebody has kindly updated it for me.

I think you’ll like Fluent C: Principles, Practices, and Patterns by Christopher Preschern (O’Reilly, 2022). The books you have are excellent ways to learn the language, and this one complements them in that it lists common practices around

I think the main text has a higher contrast than downvoted comments?… I’m mot sure, actually. If they receive lots of downvotes, their text colour becomes really pale.

It would be nice if the maintainers of the site reviewed these particular design choices at some point, to perhaps opt for something more conformant with those accessibility guidelines. Although to be honest 4:1 is not far from the minimum.

The background of the center section of Hacker News is #F6F6EF. The colour of the main text of a post is #828282, which results on a contrast ratio of 4:1 (calculated here [1]). This is below the minimum required level to conform to the Con

I also like emacs, Vim and NeoVim a lot… I guess I probably prefer them over Sublime Text. I like the fact that Sublime Text is performant, written in C++, and the product of the work of a guy, not a corporation. I’m happy to pay for stuff

It made me sad as well. It’s interesting that it did. I think it’s related to the fact that I read it in HN I guess, and what kind of commentary do I seek and enjoy when roaming around here. Although of course I respect the commenter’s opin
