Its funny that both of these things happened at almost the same time but reminds me of the chat found earlier today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32458744 which has some great comments regarding this and the (g)libc

Yeah when he said this it I couldn't help but think of Sean Barrett/nothings.org coding videos. I was always shocked by people using VS6 post 2003 but it provides 50-75% of what people want from an ide these days. (A big proponent

This is a real shame. Meta is a company that is trying to do something (beyond Facebook) and I think a Unity acquisition would benefit both of these companies (in their current positions).

Yeah I was thinking this... Does codex provide other directed sources of learning. I guess I should look deeper into textsynth/Bellard's gpt stuff as it would be nice to have some specialised learning here like only http level int

I completely agree. I don't expect everyone on the team to be like this but having seniors that are is very important. This subdivision of tasks does result in an "over the fence problem" and people need to work both sides (a

Yeah, this was my problem (we have many Mac users so my liberal use of 'xdg-open' wasn't appreciated (I'm sure it was more than that I didn't have a Mac to test it against'.) A move to devcontainers helped this

I think something that relates to the pain of onboarding with unique configurations for core tools used by developers would be useful. To be specific I wish I didn't have to forward a developer to an already obsolete wiki page then no

Thanks! I was trying to work out who this was and their relevance in the picture. I thought perhaps it was something 'Darker' than a Fahrenheit 451 ref. I feel an obligatory 'Joe Exotic' reference should be considered he

It was earmarked as the new couchdb backend but from the looks of things these efforts have stalled. I should review the technical issues that were discovered as it felt like a good direction based on comments read across related hn comment

This is great advice (And in particular points out the harrowing tale of careful choices that need to be made in a 'clean slate' business). This is a hard balance to make. Technical choices influence the kinds of staff you would w

Andrew Kelley literally did a twitch vid this morning covering something inline with the goals of this project... The zig community seems pretty good so I'm sure everyone's efforts will be celebrated (as all community work should)

Damn, I just got hooked on this and was hoping someone on here would have already done a line by line translation of how this is possible. Time to brush up on common ai techniques (or perhaps the old dark arts) either way this is both very

Yeah, this has been my experience too. Generally you use the frequency that has been legalised for use in the region you operate it in. I wonder if this automatically switches to the suitable frequency based off coordinates (when using a gp

As a side note and credit to the parent author I really appreciated the work you did and helper libraries you provided (it helped me learn a lot about some of the greater functionality that the defold engine provided. I also think the choic

This looks interesting, having skia as the drawing foundation and reactive as a core element sounds like they’re rewriting a flutter like framework but on the jvm instead of dartvm. Jetbrains sometimes dogfoods their products so I hope to s

From recollection it’s the native data transmission format for Datomic (which is driven by Cognitect/Nubank). I think there is a little bit more to the bias’ of EDN (mostly driven by language preferences in this case).

I'm surprised I haven't seen a https://clearlinux.org/ user/recommendation yet. I found it pretty good. I would probably pick it up as the base of any docker images (or alpine where appropriate) I would need

Wow, this will hopefully ignite a sleuth of creativity. I think their choice of using lua to script while also having a pretty great user experience (in v2 and v1) should put them on the radar for most indie developers now. Hopefully this a

Wow his is cool. Very nice work! Apl's seem like the perfect fit for this kind of thing and feels like a great way for people to cut there teeth on something like k. Hopefully the syntax will become a moot point since 1/2 the code

I love this idea for CMS related content and layout. I question the overloading of the 'Canvas' tag but love that you've spent time grooming the projects structure and documentation. The best possible starting blocks to push

This can all be covered by more abstractions though via some schema/spec/type validation process. Ide integration is the interesting problem here (and typescript does this beautifully) but I agree horses for courses (and experienc

A little more 'evolved' (not scumm) but 'Grim Fandango' was also recently updated (well in the last few years) for newer platforms. Ron Gilbert & Co's Thimbleweed Park perhaps deserves a mention here too .

I'm glad that Joe (and the entire erlang team) got the deserved recognition while they were alive. I also appreciate the title because of the aforementioned film. I was always curious as to if the Simpsons' 'Hello Joe' w
