I am starting to think that Panda in 2011 caused Google to take such a huge revenue hit that they never attempt similar move anymore.

Just the website. Using it like an RSS reader. Unfortunately the search bar is not as usable, but I can search using Google by prefixing with "hacker news".

Software is like water. It fills up whatever medium provided. The easiest way find and learn big tech is to work for a big-ish tech company with a big problem to solve.

I dare say, this blog is as dangerous as tvtropes. I keep going down the memory lane with Master of Orion, Master of Magic, etc. and I couldn’t stop!

Go with: * sqlc to connect to PostgreSQL Aurora. * zerolog for logging. * chi for router. * jQuery for JS interactivity. Those are where my strength lies. I can add or reduce components at a lightning speed using Go.

What made me happy is more money. The more I have, the more security (for the future) I could provide to my family.

But why? Seriously though, the performance degradation and the "too much magic" problems are not worth it. You could use one of many project bootstrapping tools to quickly spin up web applications in Node, Go, or Rust. If you stil

When Pg told people to build a business that doesn’t scale, he meant this.

This guy is fascinating (in a bad way). In what universe can you call your employees: DUMB DOLPHINS (with all caps)?

Automation tool is often shockingly more complex than initially thought. Just think of all the features that Kubernetes do, they all used to be some ghetto scripts here and there. Another good example is Airflow.

Worse are the up and down arrows. They are truly made for ants. I wish HN would borrow one UX person from its own portfolio companies to improve the overall typography and UX.

I wonder if the author has heard of https://github.com/goplus/gop He'd have fun reverse engineering it.

It has been so long since I used MySQL (and that’s for the better). Does MySQL still break when running ALTER TABLE on a huge table? One thing I don’t like about MySQL is that it has too many foot gun.

Publicly funded Twitter would not exists. Why would any government facilitates more free speech? If it exists, it will be censored to oblivion.

Chinese is sweet and consistent until 10,000. They introduced a new word for it, wan(万) instead of 10 x 1000.

You can do this in Golang as well. Just put all of your business logic inside template/html.

Can someone teach me how Svelte does what it does? The front page is not telling me much? How does it "surgically" update the DOM? Why is it better than virtual DOM?

ugh... I loath the skeuomorphic design. A bunch of engineering effort spent just to make digital products looked like the old physical products they killed.

I agree. The reason why it doesn't feel that way is because of the wealth of tutorial website on how to run git commands or the users already got used to it. Mercurial names are much more natural but it lost the war already. I use git

So... I am confused about something, isn't it better to start writing some automation scripts and document the missing piece for later?

What is "Borgmon readability" and why was it important. I think that's one of the punch line of the video.

I think the boat has sailed, particularly on RoR. 1. On the ease to test front, most new languages have built-in easy testing tools. `go test` is so darn easy. These new languages offer less ceremonial type system as well. 2. Most of the ne

I think Python core developers should not worry about closed-source enterprise Python code. If users are gaining performance, they will bend over backward porting their code to this new version. At minimum, I predict, all FAANGMULA would ju

I disagree. Even the simplest master-slave setup bound to cause an outage once or twice. Now, if you setup your DB using public cloud's flavor of PostgreSQL... That's a different story.

If you look at how expensive education is in the US, as well as rapidly rising cost of living, this perspective is incredibly naive. Money cannot buy everything, but it can solves a lot of problems.

To be honest, what I really need is a list of backward incompatible changes and a list of projects that can shim those incompatible changes. Just like Javascript.
