I'm not sure how you got that impression from my comment. But for the sake of argument, I'm saying "complect" is neither simple *nor* easy. It's obviously not easy since it's unfamiliar. But nor is it simple, o

After two years at Cognitect (pre-nubank), I can say that his talks are more subdued than his usual way of speaking (in slack, at least). He's not as mild-mannered as he appears.

And yet, the word Hickey coined, "complect", is silly at best, and a gatekeeping obstacle to outsiders/newcomers at worst.

Torvalds is not a UX person. If the creator is indifferent, you get a slew of commands and flags that map to the data structures and idiosyncrasies of the creator, rather than anything presenting a cohesive API to the outside world.

Bold of you to assume HN is smarter than Reddit on anything non-technical.

Twenty years ago, maybe, but "Molly" supplanted it. Not even sure what the preferred term is now.

I agree with you, but fwiw, the conspiracy is that the Saudis want to avoid a repeat of the Arab Spring that was heavily fueled by Twitter, so in that sense, $20 bil would be the price tag to destroy Twitter, not an investment that needs to

Very cool. Can we see a similar one for HTTP servers ?

Thank you! I was wracking my brain, trying to remember the name of the place. Remote Lounge could have been cooler, but it played up more of the voyeur angle instead of the communication angle, I felt. (Or maybe that was just me, I dunno.)

As someone who argues routinely with long-winded racists on Reddit, it's no haven. Nor are the crackpots spewing 1/6 rants and COVID conspiracies on Facebook. I think social media itself is the problem, not the post length.

A gentle reminder: Musk doesn't build any of that, he's just a source of cash, like a bank crossed with a toddler. Thousands of employees build it. In the case of SpaceX and Tesla, they frequently build it in spite of Musk, dedi

In that case, HTTP/3 might actually perform worse for you than HTTP/2, unless v8 caches QUIC conns as well. The major advantage you'd get with HTTP/3 and QUIC is fewer round trips to start a conn, and no head-of-line blo

by KingMob 3y ago
As toomim also replied, HTTP/2 is fine, and honestly, is probably preferable for your use case, since you won't also have to deal with QUIC/UDP, and can keep using TCP. (HTTP/3 is ~90% the same as HTTP/2, just over

That's good to rule out db differences, but that doesn't explain where in transit the 15 ms difference is between HTTP and WS for established connections. I'm assuming the most likely difference is in Pg processing an HTTP

The model weights could be seen as a derived work, for which they didn't get the permission of the original copyright holders. Alternatively, it can be argued that the LLMs are no different than a fanfic writer trying to imitate the st

Another article that presumes capitalism will somehow put an end to global warming, when capitalism got us into this. The article spends all this time describing the economic benefits, which won't mean a damn thing when we're figh

Cool article, thanks for sharing. You don't mention which version of HTTP you were using, which makes some of my comments here conjecture, but if I had to guess, I'd say you were using HTTP/1.1. Is that right? It would really

Clojure innovation seems to have largely slowed down, at least from the language maintainers. The last few years have seen lots of little bug fixes, expanding the CLI tool, and better interop with later versions of Java, but nothing major.

The widespread framing around "compelling" people to work is wrong. The government is not telling you to sell cakes on your day off; it's saying that as long as you're already selling cakes for the public, you can't

I really want to like Raycast, since its plugin ecosystem is better integrated than Alfred's, but every time I try it, I keep stumbling against its multi-step wizard-style interface, when what I want is a GUI CLI. I want to type a bunc

I don't think that's the criticism, though. People are saying that the way Reddit is handling things is in bad faith. Given everything that's happened, the most likely scenario is that Reddit needs to push more advertising,

Unfortunately, HN has nowhere near the diversity of communities and viewpoints as a place like reddit did.
