Oh, there's so much to unpack here... Vast majority of my blogposts that have reached HN front page were ... inflamatory and controversial. The (IMO) wise content that isn't steering up the argument seems rather ignored. ... or it

So when you blacklist a troll, they can't just create a new account for free.

I've been recently working on something similar (but much more primitive) https://github.com/dpc/tagwiki if anyone is interested. It's an async/await Rust project too, which might be interesting to some.

I think this is a ... bad take? Ambiguous and confusing(ed)? I mean - I guess there are people who believe in some stereotype of "real programmers", but this post kind of buys into this stereotype by arguing with it, and then does

You can expect whatever you want. That's what the salary negotiations are for. But I'm sure there would be plenty of people to out compete you. Just because company is saving money doesn't mean you get to pocket the differenc

Oh. I see. Thanks! Seems like a petty symbolic favoritism, very much like what I would expect. Good for Kazik for pointing it out.

I don't understand the references in that song, but doesn't seem like anything unexpected from the artist. Almost all his songs are a criticism of all political parties and governments and the social pathology. It's weird tha

US is one of the most effectively censored country in the world, and it's funny that it's able to pretend to be a beacon of the free-speach. It's just the censorship is more subtle and soft-handed - and thus way more effectiv

Setting solid background is... Super niche. Good idea to just not bother.

I don't buy almost any of it. The thing is - it's very hard to compare performance between projects and teams. What author considers "high-performance" might mean "environment I felt productive in" and so o

Just to add to that: Integer overflows in release builds can be turned on, and even when they are off, at very least they are not UBs. More info in http://huonw.github.io/blog/2016/04/myths-and-legends-about-.

A lot of devs gets overly exited by tactical advantages like saving couple of lines when implementing something, but it doesn't really matter, and the proof I'd give is the success of Go (which I don't even like myself). It&#

It would have been better if OOP actually never happened. OOP is just reaaaaly bad. One of this ideas that looks appealing, but doesn't work in practice. Inheritance is often a space-goat, but it's not even such a big of a problem

Hoon does have some very nice security / usability things, that a plain WASM doesn't: every function call is pretty much a sandbox, everything is serializable and sandboxable (so you can eg. exchange code around safely), great ref

Congratulations. One of my main critiques of Urbit was that I've been waiting years for something more widely usable and it seems that finally things are turning around. There's a lot of very shallow and superficial negative opini

You're going to lose that gained time as soon as your "build" includes running tests. And you'll need more tests because in dynamic langueses generally nothing works until you check it with a test. Mixing lanuages is a w

SSB is great conceptually, but is plagued with bad design decisions, and with JS. I gave up on it, after trying it couple of times. If someone took it, and did it right, it might be a huge hit.
