Yep, I think my buddy took inspiration. It uses goss underneath which is crazy fast.

You have nothing to lose. If you're getting your paycheck, they have money to spend. Smart employers will give you an automatic raise just based on the threat of you leaving due to the cost of getting a new hire and getting them ramped

HN gets this question like once a week. There is nothing stopping you. You're asking this because you're either looking for a reason not to start or something to attribute failure to because you're afraid of failing.

Not them but I guess it's referencing the fact that education today is largely about having textbooks shoved in front of you until you're able to recite enough of it. University/college is the place where people go to place r

It's pretty pathetic how many people feel the need to dunk on this bit of code just because it's not how they would write it. There's nothing really wrong with it. I'm sure the author was aware of alternative, perhaps mo

It's not really solved if you have no choice but to work with codebases that don't use Poetry (quite common). There's 14 tools for people to choose from that aren't going away any time soon.

And one of the reasons I moved away from it! My blog post on the subject was posted here and it was very unpopular despite having similar points and also making comparisons with Node. There's nothing special about Python that makes it

Aside from the points in the other comment, it takes time to change the build/test/release process for a new architecture. In some codebases it's a matter of adding a line to a Makefile, in others it's writing hundreds o

+1 on this. Left school at 16 to do an apprenticeship, then went straight into industry. As a result, my social life is like a withered plant. Don't waste time and money on education you don't need, but also don't grow up too

by c7DJTLrn 4y ago
I see, thanks. I guess this is due to shoddy code looping through a buffer and calling write() for each byte. So I don't think strace would be revealing anything because it's doing what the author of the black box binary intended.
285.
by c7DJTLrn 4y ago
Sorry, I'm tired so I'm probably just missing something. It's the binary wrapped by the author's program writing a couple of bytes at a time to stdout right? Why would TCP_NODELAY be relevant when it writes to stdout ins

The number of issues posted on HN that get sorted because somebody browsing the front page happens to work there is astonishing. And terrible. What's everybody else supposed to do?

I think the new keyboard design has issues on the post-2021 MacBooks as well. I've had keys randomly falling off. To Apple's credit, they replaced them for free. Some of them fell off after a wipe of isopropanol too even though th

Probably to make up for the fact that the education system is utter shit. I'm relatively fresh out of it (21) and if I had to stay on after turning 16 it would have held me back significantly. If I was let out at 14 I'd probably h

My take on why they aren't more popular is that they are difficult to produce. Packer works, but it's slow and the artifacts it produces are bloated. I've been dreaming up a better tool for a while now that would make it poss

Apologies, I can't find a source. I probably read it on LWN somewhere. Linus wouldn't dip both feet into the water at the same time. I'm confident he's said that the kernel needs to be buildable without Rust if need be.

The docs you linked say that IDLE can help with indentation, not reindent code for you. This might surprise you, but students don't necessarily know how to preserve indentation or reindent code as they cut/paste around.

err, they were using IDLE.

I am the author. npm/yarn are pretty much the defacto package managers for JS, so that's one less nightmare to deal with. But I never really said that the tooling is better in the JS ecosystem. The better performance is just enoug

Only a decade? I don't think so. AFAIK Torvalds has also stipulated that any Rust code needs to be mirrored in C.

With `go run` it can be effectively used as a scripting language.

Python is syntactically simple but that doesn't necessarily make it a good choice for beginners. I've seen students spend hours wrestling the interpreter over whitespace issues.
