Not only Facebook, but the whole industry, if I may say. For example, I had a client who could not get rid of weird JVM GC pauses that would come from nowhere, after which it would render the application unusable for some time. The cheapest

This. Even if someone is not convinced that this guy had nothing to do with the crash, think about the alternative. An individual, living in a parent's house with everyday equipment, can crash a trillion-dollar market in a couple of mi

After this, we will get back to shared libraries, because updating that libpng would require updating all those static binaries. This is already happening with many go and rust programs.

I think USB-C solved some problems (no need to keep numerous different cables) but created another one - everything is now USB-C, and you can easily fry your things. My case: I lost the charger for T480 and purchased another one, not origin

I find constraint solvers a perfect fit for window managers. For example, take a look at [1] what scwm [2] could do 21 years ago. Sadly (for me) modern window managers (on Linux or Windows) are way inferior to something we had in the past,

Don't worry, some of us still are using those tricks, especially nbsp and blank pixel. Why? Well, I'm doing backend/infra stuff most of my time, so I have no idea what is current or bleeding edge in frontend space these days.

Cool project, kudos to the author! For those bashing it with "it is a simple OCR", which is somehow standard HN elitism I must say, a couple of things. First, it is a well-thought project: besides online blog hosting, you have a m

Although haproxy and nginx cover (for me) almost all use-cases I had to deal with (with OpenResty [1] as a backup), I see one place where ATS could shine: plugins. From examples [2], C API looks sane and well documented, and this is very im

Awesome work! In our shop, we managed to solve significant application bottlenecks simply by switching to Shenandoah GC. The application in question is very complex, so any kind of rewrite in another language is out of the question. This is

I think, everybody forgets one thing with C OO systems - no matter how primitive or advanced they are, they integrate much easily with languages that are sharing C libraries, than e.g. C++. Take, for example, GObject [1] from glib. C++ had,

True, but you don't develop that way using graal. You develop java apps the usual way (eclipse, emacs/vim/maven, whatever) and create a fat jar (or uberjar). When you make sure the application is working, compile it with graa

You need to be familiar with Java types and differences between them (Integer, BigInteger) and how Math.pow() behaves with different types. This is more up to Java, rather than Clojure. No need to pull the library for this, Clojure already

"Math/pow" is actually a function on JVM level. Clojure functions are objects with special callable method. This will work: (map (partial #(Math/pow %1 %2) 2) [0 1 2 3])

I'm not surprised with this, seeing their aggressive push to cloud service. I'd say this is the route of popular OSS projects that became SaaS services: 1. Fork something Apache-licensed. 2. Build a community with "awesome&qu

"The C Programming Language" from K&R is something everyone should read, even if they are not fond of C. "Expert C Programming" [1]. Not up to date, but written from a C compiler writer standpoint. A lot of reference
