How about for someone who keeps a perpetually clean history? I really hope I won't need to disable the new tab page just because a bunch of sites I'm not interested in keep appearing every time I clear my browsing history. I can o

Absolutely. I'm always pleased when documentation includes some pseudocode for what the system generally does, without the overhead of configuration, exceptional control flow, etc. It's not always possible with large systems, but

Thanks for the reminder about topiama. I knew something like this existed, but forgot where. I was thinking recently about writing my own as a quick pet project. Still might, just for fun. It's actually a bit surprising to me that redd

I enjoyed this post for one very simple reason: it makes me realize that, no, I am not the only one who dislikes these parts of programming. Too often when problems like those mentioned by Joe are brought up in discussion, the (seemingly) m

I have heard about this happening to others. In the kernel I developed as part of an operating systems course, I pre-emptively commented my use of goto with a short justification of its usage and cited its use in the linux kernel. I didn&#x

I think the library is great, and don't have a whole lot to say about it, but wanted to mention one tangentially related thing: The README on this repo is awesome. Opening up with advantages and disadvantages? Awesome. Plenty of code e

Many people are correctly citing the usage of goto in the Linux kernel. One thing I would like to add is what Greg Kroah-Hartman says about goto in one of his talks: only jump forward, never backwards. This is precisely what you do when you

This is the most interesting part to me. I agree with the other people commenting in this thread that advanced algorithm design (as seen in journals) isn't broken. Interesting advanced algorithms do get spun out into open source implem

Thanks for the writeup. I remember thinking during level1 "Wait, they have miners going for each user? No way... these have to be premined (wrong, makes sense now why) somehow." I recall after thinking that, looking at the timesta

A good resource for this is the control operations chapter [0] in Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation [1]. It start off with some motivation, then covers generators and continuations, with mention of threads and coroutines

Although I agree with you, as others have pointed out you're selling IRC short for certain use cases. Language or domain specific channels are great for getting rapid responses to well thought out queries. > To me, IRC has always be

Not that I know of. One should really be started, as the suggestion given is usually #startups on Freenode, and I didn't last 5 minutes in that room. Really poor experience from the start. Not that sharing #hn around is going to result

How much of the short duration of these bootcamps is teaching to the test that is the modern software developer interview? I have a really hard time imagining that somebody coming out of a 8-12 week program, even with some prior experience,

So? It was functional. I hit the website just the other week to update my local XAMPP install, and didn't think for a second about the design. I don't rely on it much any more since I have a VPS, but I can use it test locally when

Yeah, you got me on that one. I shouldn't have used such a strong word. I just wanted to get across that Rust ticked all those boxes (except for "inferred across the whole program" apparently. I just understood that to mean a

Congratulations. I'm glad to hear that HN feedback was a factor in making the team feel they were building something that mattered. I know there were always plenty of comments in threads about Docker that were dismissive, but count me

I love programming languages. Big or small, toy or serious. Myrddin looks interesting, and I could certainly see myself implementing projects like this as I dive deeper into language design and implementation. That being said, and making no

A few thoughts: 2,360 people applied, each paying a $50 admission fee [0]. That's a cool 118k for admissions triaging. Also on that page, we can see they originally said up to 600 people would be admitted for the pilot program. They ad
