It supports type hinting. Which helps, but is far from the tool (crutch) that I need when refactoring. Still far too much guessfactoring and not the confident "it compiles. tests are green. it's Friday: let's deploy!" th

I'm working on a project that leans heavily on matrix vectorization and large dirty datasets. I'm not a scientist, though. Here's how I work. * Hack together a PoC with python, sed, awk, grep, cut, xsv etc. * Clean that up, r

Fair point. I wasn't seeing it as a "good deed left undone" but as a normalized state that has been unbalanced by phones and individualism. That the norm is a place where humans talk, collaborate, and have deep connections in

I'm too. But I still see no evidence that this keeps improving and not plateauing at some (current?) level.

Everyone every time seems to assume a linear (or exponential) curve upwards. But what is the proof for that? I consider it far more likely that we had a breakthrough and now rushing towards the next plateau. Maybe are nearing that. Like in

I know. And I was referring to the benefits of using a framework or platform that you know well. Which is rather different, but will often overlap. The boring parts may be solved in boring frameworks, but if you don't know to find them

It's an often repeated idea that somehow Rails or PHP allow to ship faster than rust (or go, or java?) For one, it's simply not true in many cases: I know Rails (and Sinatra) very well and axum or actix slightly less so, but the

"hexagonal architecture" (aka ports and adapters) offers some nice practical ideas on how to achieve this. I find it works well with rust. Rust traits are well suited for a ports and adapters setup. And in the rust ecosystem, &quo

Me too. But science tells it's the reverse. Obv. statistics, so it doesn't apply to your personal situation. Yet, I, introvert++ have had the best moments when travelling, talked to random strangers or exchanged beers, music and s

One of the most famous experiments that prove exactly this were done in the NY subways. (In the eighties) on mobile, so don't have a link to the paper at hand.

If, instead of scrolling HN, you talked to me, both our lives would improve. Human contact, even with strangers, has a profound impact on health, mental state and quality of life. This has been researched and proven over and over. We are si

And about what it did in the past. Because that built habits. Has large bodies of education and documentation around it, and often even tooling (like snippets, ai completion, linters, static analysis)

A fair point that programers mustn't do stupid stuff. But languages (and frameworks) can help a lot with that. When a language (or framework) makes it easy to do the right thing, and hard to do the bad thing, a large category of "

In the netherlands several of these "protesters" have been rounded up, arrested or otherwise prosecuted. Some later on. Several have been found guilty of breaking the law. Some as young as 17 or 19¹. Regardless of the political vi

I would suspect it's a combination of the file-pointers, the file-names and other metadata, and the directories. Directories with lots of files grow very big too. Indexes cost space.

A nice example of how a simple program can be done in Rust. I think that if some of the setup (mkfs, mount) is left to external tools¹, it show clearly how simple a program in Rust can be. Sure, in Ruby, python, or even bash, it would be tw

No particular reason. edit: to be clear, I did mention "I would prefer lua for it's simplicity". I'm exploring all the existing work out there. Lua is certainly an option. From what I can see on the outside, is that lua

I was recently looking for some ways to make a rust project dynamically configurable. Yaml/toml/etc are too static or are terrible to describe logic in (yet we do it all the time for CI, infra etc, ugh). WASM would be an option, b

Not sure if this is yours, but if so: Firefox (android) and Chrome (android) refuse to load the site. Probably due to missing SSL.

notifications, storage, camera and offline are all supported by web-apps though. Maybe not safari, IDK, but globally the most used browsers support this and have done so for many years.

I doubt it is true. Apple's recent malevolent compliance with the EU anti-monopoly rulings, show that Apple at least cares a lot about the money these developers have to pay Apple (fees etc).

But a surprisingly large amount of apps don't need hardware functionalities or could easily provide (most of) their value without them. Sure, some high end games. But they're more an exception. What other app are you thinking of?

Bitcoin is still "improving", as tech. I know. But the community at large, is still crap. Rugpulls, pyramid schemes, bad management, misleading marketing and so on, are more common than not. It's easier to get scammed or grif

Why is this "preposterous"? I never mentioned privacy, and certainly never claimed bitcoin provides it. Also, bitcoin never claimed to enable privacy (contrary to monero and zcash). All it ever claimed was to be pseudonymous. It h
