I see a lot of articles posted on HN about Zig. What's so special about Zig, and how does it fill its own niche with other languages like Go and Rust?

I do. I don't have a car, and I live in a college town where the nearest decent grocery store is about 3 miles. I have a decent experience. The biggest con is that you "have" to give 15-20% tips (technically you don't ha

Not to sound rude but IMO I find components really hard to organize and structure data. Components are probably really nice for storytelling games and games with simple logic: they really shine when you can just take some effect like a part

Bitcoin does have one advantage: it was the first of its kind. Moreover, any other blockchain currency would have to go through the same value inflation as bitcoin: it makes sense to pick a currency where there are already a lot of coins, s

This is cool! I think it can be really useful. My main suggestion is better error handling: make it so that when a calculation is invalid, it shows the error where the result would be (e.g. red text with the error message) instead of failin

This is the way. There's nothing wrong with code reviewers correcting minor details, the issue is when said corrections waste the author's attention and time and slow PRs. If the edit is an easy bug-fix, the author should just loo

Personally I use ear plugs (silicone). If I want to listen to music or watch a movie I have AfterShokz bone-conducting headphones. You can get both for a bit over $100 and they work better than noise-cancelling headphones.

Shoutout to people like the author who look at various open-source apps to spot malicious activity. Open-source libraries are a great contribution to software, but it can also be dangerous if malicious code is sneaked into a library used by

I once heard that almost everything that gets into you slightly increases your risk of cancer (water is the exception), but there are different levels of risk. Some compounds will practically guarantee that you get tumors (like radiation, a

The size of this image is comparable to Google Maps. Go to Google maps and zoom out as much as possible. The bottom right hand corner should display a line measuring 1000 miles. Then zoom in so that the line measures 1 mile. This is the sam

In the case where code is used to convict or acquit someone, I think it should be a well-tested and established program: generally something with the software quality of Linux, or in this case, whatever DNA testing kit is being used by scie

The article's conclusion makes sense to me. Too much negativity is wrong for kind of obvious reasons. Too much positivity is also wrong, because not everything is positive so it sounds fake. In my experience, the best outlook is to app

I'm trying to get creative because I have nothing else to do, but it's hard :). I'm learning different drawing apps and music production apps. My drawing is like a 7-year old (quoted from someone else) but I used to play pian

Yeah, this article is really not convincing. I've used both gradle and maven and IMO gradle is better in practically every way.

I mean, rarely if ever does an over-hyped game live up to its insane hype. Look at Destiny and No Man's Sky. They basically followed the same cycle. Game is hyped up and an incredible amount of time and money is put into development. G

I used to share the "Java is bad" mindset, but now I realize Java (at least the JVM) is actually really good. The main issues people assume with Java are that it has slow runtime and it's verbose. But the JVM is actually rath

I used Xcode recently and it's gotten a lot better. It's still not as good as IntelliJ or AppCode but it's usable. I remember around when Swift came out, Xcode was so bad that I couldn't even use it because typing was ~1

Advertising itself is good. Knowing about different products that can help you is actually really good. Sure you can get this information from friends and word-of-mouth, but it's not always accurate, and there is nothing wrong with usi

The developer's project was exactly the type of project which should use React: a "web app", an application which is on a webpage. A problem with React (or any big library really) is that sometimes developers use it for blo

hey this is a good game. My only suggestion would be to make it easier to see gaps in order to clear layers, maybe by making the blocks semi-transparent or making gaps in the lowest complete-able layer "glow" so that you can see t
