As a european i got into the habbit of walking between popular city neighborhoods to find hidden gems. I did that in Tokyo, and that was a really big mistake. I ended up walking next to a huge higway, looking at bland buildings for like 20

It looks to me like the situation we have today is that architectural components are deployed as separate binaries ( queues, proxies, web server etc), with PL being used mostly as glue code passing data between them using client apis. Provi

i've always wondered where the money is going in those kinds of trials. It's supposed to be a compensation for damages to the consumers, but are the consumers ever getting any money from the fine ?

i always keep telling my friends that you need to read the book at least three times to really "get it". I had the first book at home borrowed from a friend, read it once and thought "hm..". Then reread just like that an

any recommendations ? All i've heard is mostly the same types of "sound" copied over and over again. Nothing jaw dropping so far (but there is definitely something that has to come out of this technological revolution one d

side question : I've only recently started to digg a bit deeper into crypto algorithms ( looking into various types of curves etc), and it gave me the uneasing feeling that the whole industry is relying on the expertise of only a handf

holy crap, i wondered why the post didn't mention work by dj bernstein outing flaws in curves submitted by nsa... Well, didn't expect the post to actually be written by him.

those numbers are scary for anyone ever thinking about competing with amazon... I'm really stupefied by the way this company is operating..

i'm having a hard time getting enthusiastic about tech that facilitate turning computation power on and off on demand. To me, the only real problem left in the web space is persistent data storage. This is the thing that doesn't s

There are definitely some ways to do bad designs in go, but i have the feeling it will be more immediately apparent what's wrong (or at least what part of the system needs rework). The reason being that there are no ways to obfsucate a

You'll have to do that, hoping that they're on the platform, then the server will respond "sorry, i don't know this guy". Then either you send him a SMS or email, saying "hey, when you're on signal, let me

problem is that those are two really core features of a messenging app, so they probably don't see how you can keep using the app without them and not have a shite experience. edit : in case people wonder "share your contact"

i used to work as a develper for an adtech company, and it made me really happy to quit that world. Not every tech company is using ad-based business model. Look for others.

It looks like i got fooled by that alternate theory which gained a lot of popularity in the last 10 years, but is apparently fake.. Sorry about that.

it's actually a common misunderstanding (even amongst french) : the "impure" blood the french anthem is talking about is their own blood, not the one from their ennemies. Nobility was calling them impure (since not from noble

i was wondering if this was due to unicode indeed. I had hoped that the benchmarks required languages to perform the same kinds of string check, otherwise there's really no point indeed.

surprised to see swift 4 times as slow as non-optimized go. Anyone has an explanation ? I know the swift string type is really complex, but i always assumed it was at least performing well..

Is there somewhere a real list of pros of cons of pulsar vs kafka ( or redpanda) , from people having real life experience of the two ( and not just reading the documentation) ?

of course not, i would be broke :)) I do have a bet with a friend regarding btc price going under 1k i made in 2019 but it's just for fun..

i've been betting against btc from the beginning, however i truely believe there's something interesting in this field, that may end up getting some real applications sometimes. Now what's still unknown is whether the funds t

when did you try ? i had the feeling the number of "serious" videos has increased a lot in the past months. Or, maybe i just got bored watching pretty women dance after a while, and the algorithm detected it and adjusted.

the symmetry in anticompetitive practices is actually the only good reason i see for banning the app. Hiding behind pretexts to make it seem based on law will only add an absurd legal precedent to app developers.

Since we're on HN and we love talking about PL : how come you chose such a recent language as Zig for something as critical as a paiement system ? I'm sure Zig is, in theory, safer than let's say, C. But doesn't the fact

The problem now is that so many people, in so many fields, relayed that "everything's safe, if you disagree or dare casting doubts you're an a ti-science sociopath", that it's going to be super super hard for them t

i'm surprised there isn't a market for software already. Being able to price a stack would probably let software developer get easier access to funding or borrowing since at least you'd have some way to use the code as a coll
