Lol don't worry, HN spends a lot more time complaining about web.dev than praising it.

Yep my bad! I think flipping the order should work still though. The two links in the article: https://lemire.me/blog/2016/05/23/the-surprising-cleverness-... And the LLVM source indicate to me it only p

Here's a dumb question. If someone asked me to do it I'd probably write code like: while(x != 0) { c += x&1; x >>= 1; } Is this something that should be added to LLVM? Edit: flip the order

It wasn't clear to me, but I might have just missed it. Is there a backup strategy beyond just duplicate data? Have they lost data during rebuild?I know he briefly talked about that risk with different HD sizes.

Yes, I built a really bad version of it a while ago: https://braeden.dev/waterfall/ Click waterfall, and then click play when you have the audio on your computer playing outloud. If you play the audio outloud, your mic

You can just press ctrl+D and bypass the warning without any sound. It's not a big deal at all.

Agreed, about 25% of the content on HN seems to be Google hate.

What's up with the page faults in the timing details?

See this in regards to the new Slack application: https://slack.engineering/rebuilding-slack-on-the-desktop-30... . It's much faster now. Also, I would be hard pressed to find a 5 sec increase in an electron app vs a na

What about the potential technical debt and additional manpower it requires to build out per-platform desktop applications. Easy is a priority for many OSS projects and companies who want to ship something quick and reliable.

It makes cross-platform desktop development much easier. VSCode, Discord, and (the new) Slack are written in Electron, and those absolutely excel, even at the cost of a bit extra memory usage. There's a circlejerk of Electron hate, bu
