I may not work with Zig (yet) but it’s cool to see y’all representing yourselves like this, keep up the good work!

Poe’s Law is vastly over-invoked. In any social setting where some amount of context can be assumed, it doesn’t apply. And even if someone wanted to challenge me on that, I’d argue that the tiny number of people who would think “HN is a tec

What you wrote was cleanly executed sarcasm on its own. The /s is only for people who don’t know what they’re doing, you can remove it.

If this site was made recently, it’s possible that it was released with that title and slipped through without oversight (I would guess that this page is the CIA’s millionth priority). Perhaps the page getting attention will cause them to t

I guess that explains why their sports arena “The Chunderdome” didn’t take off either.

Great stuff! Keep it up and perhaps you could build a whole operating system. You could call it… ReactOS ;)

Loyola University Maryland, 2012, I don’t know if a technical writing course even existed. Edit: But I do want to note that I love and appreciate good technical writing, and have gotten a lot of experience doing it in the workplace. It’s a

No and no. Note: I am not rate-limited, but will not reply in any manner whatsoever. No replies from my end will reference anything at all, because they won’t exist. Feel free to misunderstand whatever you please about this comment.

I think GP wants something akin to Beej’s guides, where he presents you with like 10 formats on the homepage and you pick the one that works best for your device and use case: https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/

It honestly feels weird to hear people talk in generalities about “regulation” and “innovation” in the wake of the whole Titan submersible thing. Like, didn’t we just have an object lesson in why certain industries need to be more tightly r

I’m just really tired of this debate about “frameworks” and “complexity”. If your client asks you for a custom CMS with a multi-stage publishing workflow with i18n and regulation-compliant a11y, you’ll need high-powered tools to build it in

Sure, but also the “collective ownership” of the Linux kernel is the reason it can never leave GPLv2 for GPLv3. If companies like Red Hat start finding fun loopholes in GPLv2, Linux will be powerless to seal them up.

At a previous job where I had to deal with this stuff, I was able to make the case for an “update task” every six or twelve months, where we’d update all of the dependencies, change the config files that needed to be changed, etc. This woul

OK, hold up, I’ve been hearing this line forever and I’m here to hold it to account: > the API-compatible Preact is something like 7KB Something is up here. Either Preact is not in fact API-compatible (in which case people should stop sa

This kind of idealism is nice, but the truth is that the American government isn’t a computer we can program with just and elegant code. It’s a vending machine we have to pound on and shake until it dispenses not the just outcome we asked f

…what? Sorry to harsh the vibe, but that second paragraph reads like something out of 2014 when people were first reading REMOTE. At this point remote work is nothing new, and while many large companies don’t like it, many large companies a

The “tell us your quietest night and we’ll get 20+ people to come that night” trick works wonders, not just for tech meetups but for things like karaoke nights and other kinds of adult social activities too. It’s a great win-win.

Nope, this is a commonly repeated falsehood. Judges really don’t want to reduce the jury pool unless they really really need to. If they cut everyone who had seen CGP Grey’s video on Jury Nullification they’d unnecessarily thin the pool. Th

This reminds me of the thing that used to happen on HN a lot, where a top-level comment would be someone going “I was wondering why someone wrote an article about ‘Butt-Native Functions’, but then remembered I have the Cloud-to-Butt extensi

Back in the old comic book days, the act of drawing darker parts of a person or object to indicate lighting or shadows was called “shading”. The name stuck because the first shaders were focused on that. Later, these GPU programs were used

Just a heads up, when folks say “complex 3d objects”, it’s usually assumed that they’re talking about things like GLTF files, which contain geometry, materials, lighting elements, animations, etc, and which Unity/Unreal can absolutely

This is my problem with a lot of HN comments about JS: they read like they were written in 2014 (see also the “a new framework every week!” jokes) ES2015 was the one big language update, and although it took a while to all roll out and for

Can people on this site please stop acting like everyone in tech (or “everyone in tech who matters”) is working for FAANG and getting a FAANG salary? Believe it or not there exist software developers who make less than $100k.
