I did Elixir one year for advent of code! It was pretty fun and helped me learn the language a bit more actually. Hope you enjoy.

As someone who has never used Nix, from first glance the question I ask myself is... why?

You've liked his hard stance on free speech? What stance is that? That some speech is okay and other speech is not okay?

This seems to be an engine specific thing though. Unity has always struggled with spawning objects in big maps. Rust had a similar problem for many years.

by dimgl 5y ago
Yeah not sure about this one chief. Is this an engine specific thing? I don’t see why spawning can’t happen on an async thread.

Although some people might use "wokeness" as a strawman, it is anything but. Not sure why this makes you so mad. Ignoring it doesn't make the problem go away.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with you. Just because something gives people purpose doesn't mean it's positive... You can be excited, hopeful and positive about something that provides very little value.

Good luck. I had massive problems switching to Linux. Most of the people on Hacker News are saying it's me. Yet Windows works just fine. So yeah idk.

I installed Windows 11 and my god... what a goddamn mistake. I had to reformat and go back to Windows 10. They screwed it up yet again. So much UI/UX regression. It's hard to believe they haven't learned their lesson after so

It's been a struggle getting two monitors to work on my GeForce 2080ti. I've been trying to install Linux natively on my machine and unless I turn off one monitor, I get crazy artifacts and I can't even see the UI at all for

I'm not really interested in Lisp or Haskell. I don't feel like I'll be all that productive with them and there is little to no chance I'll use them professionally. If anything I'd be interested in Rust, but it&#x27

Hey! Thanks for this! I've always loved the Ruby syntax so I'm excited to see what Crystal has to offer. Thanks for sending this over!

by dimgl 5y ago
I've been thinking about learning Crystal recently and using it for a personal project. However, now that I have lots of experience with Node.js, Golang and others, I'm torn between the "use what's mature" and &quot

Congratulations! Every so often I get the urge to boot up Godot again. It’s come a long way.

+1. I can remember one time I made macOS completely crash by mistakenly doing an intense memory op on a container. Other than that, I can’t say I get much crashing…

Is this like Fieldbook? I always thought Fieldbook was such a cool product but I think the company didn't go anywhere.

Yeah, it is very strange. I have an early 2014? MacBook Pro and it still runs today. 0 issues. That being said, it's now slow as hell and likely because of the battery. But the development experience on MacBooks is delightful.

by dimgl 5y ago
It's not Linux. It's not clunkier, slower or buggier. Not sure why you had those issues.
620.
by dimgl 5y ago
This is literally the opposite of what most people claim. Does anyone else have these issues? I actually just ordered an M1 MacBook myself.

You want to start a career in IT or in software development? Those are two very different tracks (and I can only give you advice on the latter).

I actually disagree with this. I have a Telegram group where I talk amongst friends and I constantly find myself not caring about certain topics that I wish were in their own channel. With Discord I don't have to worry about that. I on

This is not necessarily true. Dependency injection allows you to provide your own implementations for unit testing. I'm surprised we're still talking about dependency injection in Node.js. I made a really crude dependency injectio

This was an amazing write-up. It never ceases to amaze me how anyone can reason through decompiled code.

> Like, how do you even refactor code safely? I've never had issues doing huge refactors in JS. But thanks for telling me I'm just wrong.

> I made an exception for TypeScript I was nodding my head until TypeScript. I still don't like it even after years of people telling me it's the future. Maybe this is what it feels like to be older.

It sucks to say this on Hacker News, but you're being really naive. If I, as a power user, have trouble installing and even running Linux, how can you expect a normal user to do it? I run into non-stop issues with Linux. I ran into a b

I've been thinking about this more and more. Is it worth it?
