A javascript software engineer, probably at level E4 or E5, is not even superficially aware of what this person is claiming here.

Isn't it based on ML family? I mean, I see Rust error handling heavy inspired in monads used in languages like OCaml and Haskell. Is Rust doing something different?

It's so big that you'll need a 64-bit variable to store that value.

Everytime I see something about Germany in the news I can't stop thinking about their nuclear power plants being shut down to satisfy an (incorrect) agenda. That obviously turned out to be a completely wrong move. I don't see Germ

Bluesky is decentralized, it's virtually impossible to ban this thing once it gets enough nodes running around the globe. Not sure if it's better than Twitter for censorship.

Elon Musk doesn't care about Brazil, he's just pissed about a 3rd world judge messing around with his toy. This is fact. But it's also fact that this particular judge is arbitrarily punishing the entire country by applying su

You're assuming that those people are using their old existing accounts, aren't you?

It's ok for X not being allowed to operate in Brazil. But it's NOT OK to fine people in US$ 9K for accessing it via VPN. You're punishing people that didn't do anything otherwise.

First bad[1] of a series of great results: see, I told you it's a bubble. [1] not bad results at all, it's simply not as surprising as the Wall St. expected. It's still better than initially predicted.

Rust in Linux kernel is a bold statement. It's a PoC, nothing relevant is implement in it yet.

You people seem to underestimate the average sloppy programmer. Rust is yet composed of people that take programming seriously. One day it will be as popular as C++ or Java, and will you start seeing wonders in code bases around the world.

Rust is not widely adopted yet. When the mass of sloppy programmers are required to write code (applications, drivers, etc.) in Rust, you will take the bet back.

But we cannot neglect the poor software update policies (if any) used by those companies.

hmm, but those fairly big countries are also heavy users of Google/Microsoft products, aren't they? If every country had to create their own version of those products we would end up having still more power consumption - consideri

The problem is that there's no Linux. The Average Joe cannot download Linux from Linux.com. He will waste hours, maybe days learning about different distributions, window managers, packaging, etc. This is true even for experienced prof

IIRC, GCC used to have an AOT compiler for Java but I've never heard of anyone using that. Is Graal like another attempt to native Java binaries?

Author mentioned about high-frequency trading tools and machine learning. Don't know about machine learning, but a HF C++ developer usually has solid fundamentals. I tend to believe that naïve C++ programmers aren't in those areas

Brazil is under a judiciary kind of government regime, having that Alexandre Moreas as their supreme leader. They're hostile to high tech companies and entrepreneurs, but ok with the organized crime.

That's because they block accounts on demand, and I bet the Brazilian Supreme Court has never heard about HN before.

Because these people have offers to work anywhere - and they usually help training the locals, improving the regional labor skillset. Tax break is one way to attract them. I'm not that skilled, but I've already turned down some op
