I was in the same boat as you. I'm mostly a backend person and I had avoided frontend frameworks and used vanilla JavaScript directly because I did't like the complexity of modern JavaScript frameworks. Recently, I tried Next.js a

I still remember the day I learned how to animate text in the status bar. I felt like being a wizard!

This is such a great idea, but what's even more useful would be to make arrow keys only traverse the commands ran in the current directory. Would there be any prior art?

I think "script as an instructor" might work, as I view this approach as that.

That's very impressive, it almost feels like a legit useful hack. Why was it not fixed in zsh? Did they decide it was working as intended?

The UTF-8 BOM still has some uses, unfortunately. I had to convince Excel to parse a CSV file as UTF-8 and inserting a BOM at the beginning of the file was the easiest solution.

GitHub identifies commits only by their associated email addresses, and it is easy to manipulate them. This has a consequence that anyone can masquerade as any others.[1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10005577

I once made a music player similar to this. It converted music files into image files, and saved them to Flickr. One trick that I employed was that the output image files were also visually recognizable, featuring album covers and lyrics.[1

What a marvelous project! The amount of efforts that the author put into this project makes my jaw drop. This project reminds me of a question I've had in my mind, though. If this world is a simulation, would that be an accurate simula

This issue is what makes me paranoid when putting a lot of files into a directory. Having directories whose sizes cannot be shrunk makes me really uncomfortable, so I try to avoid such a situation as much as possible. What's unfortunat

It makes me feel strange to think that all these industries, all these jobs, and all these companies didn't exist just 30 years ago. Nowadays everyone says the web. It seems very hard to predict what technology will be dominant in anot

When I used C for a serious project, I always used `snprintf(dst, sizeof(dst), "%s", src);` to copy a string. It might be a little bit slow, but it freed me from all the headaches of identifying different string functions of C and

I think it was a mistake to put hashCode (and to an extent, equals) to all objects by default. It makes Objects bloated, and because of that, those who will never be put to a hash table also need to provide their own hashCode implementation

A compiler doesn't have to emit machine code. It just needs to translate one language into another, which the author's program does. Also, a parser implies having an internal, structured representation. As the C language is neithe

It absolutely can be used maliciously, but if an attacker can add an alias to the environment, they might also be able to manipulate PATH, making a malicious cp take precedence over the original cp. So the point is moot.

I expected this program would move the chess pieces by itself using a robotic arm or something. But, still great!

`go run` is also build+run, with a dependency scan. But it executes instantaneously. So there is already an evidence that the status quo can be improved. Even Rust's `cargo run` is much faster than `dotnet run`.

This is very interesting. I like C# as a language, and I like Go by its tooling. If this project goes well, it would be the best of both worlds. The official `dotnet` command is not to my taste for a few reasons. It uses XML, and it is qu

That's unfortunate. I have a few videos which seems to have been forgotten even by their uploaders. Those videos would probably not be updated. I guess I need to back them up manually.

With a domain having "node" in it, that idea sounds lovely.

It is a bit sad to see the place where I had a lot of memory destroy itself. But then again, I'm glad that they are showing their intention to monetize so bluntly, which may give the audience enough reasons to avoid the service.

I didn't know so many sites were depending on Fastly. Stack Overflow, GitHub, reddit, .... Even pip is unavailable. My development workflow is completely janked up. It is a bit scary that we are putting too many eggs in one basket.

Thanks for your service. Now it will get even more traffic as I realized the existence of the site!

I didn't know about SSHFP, thanks for informing me. DNSSEC has always felt cumbersome to set up, so I've stayed away from it. Might give it another try.

I don't think ssh provides the same level of confidence as https, unfortunately. There are no root CAs that are agreed upon, so the users are too used to blindly accepting whatever server keys they are given. This makes MITM attacks to

Actually, there are certain cases where visiting a site under an expired certificate is strictly more vulnerable than visiting a normal http site. Certain web features only work in a secure context[1], which an http site does not expose. Th
