The idea of python is to be human readable, allowing easy review of correctness and hopefully translating into choice of better algorithms. This AI generated example is neither readable nor algorithmically efficient, on top of running in sl

One of my favorite tricks is to use a visual difftool. Copy good log into left panel. Copy bad log into right panel. Quickly show which lines are new, which are missing and which are out of order. Obviously ignore the timestamps ;)

To give them credit, they don’t pump out a new half finished StarCraft every Christmas, like others do. SC2 was in almost every aspect a better game, both for players and audiences.

That would kill throwaways, some of the best content here on hn, giving the true insight into what really happens behind the pretty facade of the companies.

If you are really paranoid. Backup codes can be copied without you noticing. Even bigger risk if you bring them along while traveling, or worse, leave unattended in hotel room. The Authenticator apps store keys in Secure Enclave (or at leas

Heat pumps have efficiency above 100%, by exchanging and transporting heat, instead of generating it. 2-4x for air pumps and close to 5x for geo.

They repeated exactly the same mistake early EV cars did, Prius, i3, Leaf, all ugly, quirky or just impractical for completely unrelated reasons to being an EV. Trying to reimagine what a car is, instead of just taking a good old proven cha

Jquery got squashed from two directions. One being react and other data binding frameworks, the other side being browser tech modernizing and aligning, such that bare js could be used, without a thick compatibility layer in between.

Let’s not forget the price difference of a e-scooter and a Segway is like 50x. Even more if you consider the new and popular rental model. Maybe they are cheaper nowadays, I remember the early days they would cost almost as much as a car. W

Isn’t this a yubikey? Except a yubikey can also do a lot more, primarily sign tokens without private key ever leaving the device. Which, as someone else explained below, is far superior to plain text passwords.

Thanks for tip, but quite far from ideal. Piping into something requires 1. knowing upfront I want to copy the output. 2. Doesn’t allow partial selection of the output. 3. Extra typing | xclip after every command. 4. Xclip is not installed

Yes please. Teach me how to copy output of previous command into clipboard using keyboard only and I will love you forever. Bonus if I can have a cursor to only select partial lines of the output.

This should be argument enough that /v2 is a lot less susceptible to such error. Please also return error if the wrong key was used, instead of silent fallback of assuming no version.

Generators have a few footguns even for seasoned developers, calling len(mygen) or mygen[4] works, but after that it's empty when trying to iterate it. Particularly problematic is when someone adds a log of the generator content, exhau

Why use a DSL and not your favorite scripting language or test-framework of choice for this? All the examples on the front page can be written in same number of LOC in many such popular languages. - chaining - It's just code so put mul

At bare minimum there should be a feature like " Give me any VM that closely resembles an E8s_v5 with at least 32G ram ". Or " anything from these 4 approved types ". I don't always care if you give me a E8_v4 or a

This is how CI systems have always behaved traditionally. Just install a Jenkins agent on any computer/VM and it will maintain persistent workspace on disk for each job to reuse in incremental builds. There are countless other tools th

This is like the biggest thing scaring me away from Go. This half-assed "we don't use exceptions, so you shouldn't have to care about it, except when we do, so you still must write proper defers, which are now doubly verbos

Terraform has an extreme approach to that, every time you reference a variable you have to spell out the complete TYPE.NAME.ATTRIBUTE, eg resource.aws_s3_bucket.my_bucket.website_endpoint. There is no way to access my_bucket without the who

In git you do this like git commit --fixup hashtofix && git rebase -i --autosquash hashtofix^ Hard to discover and remember but once you do it usually works smoothly.

It’s the developers responsibility to question the feasibility and risk of the clients business requirements. The ones in charge are of course taking the final decision in the end anyway, but the flag should at least have been raised.

NOT having tests is dept. When you can’t fearlessly add features quickly because you introduce regressions in another end of the product that you didn’t think of, and later have to spend all your time on firefighting because it got deployed

But normally you have a server between the user and the db, where you also prefer to keeps things as utc, while in memory. Then conversion to local time happens as the very last step in the presentation layer. So unless you are using the sq

While I can appreciate the immediate value this tool brings for some applications. At the same time it’s an epitome of everything that is wrong with current software landscape. Instead of fixing the deficiencies in upstream, once and for al
