I mean, Elixir is definitely not a replacement for Rust. I imagine it as being closer to Node, Python, or possibly Java. And even then, it's a wild comparison, because of the way Actor Model concurrency is weaved into BEAM languages, i

Currently reading that. It's interesting. Love the detail.

This is the true legacy of React, and it's awful. It's not just a case of "you're doing it wrong", because even cutting edge codebases (developed in the last 1 or so) are struggling with this. "useMemo is the s

More detail here: https://www.polygon.com/23696346/humanity-game-preview-enhan... Apparently, the game is also produced by Sega R&D legend Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Might have to checkout the demo.

I think the studio behind this is headed by Yugo Nakamura, who was famous in the early web development days as a trailblazing Macromedia/Adobe Flash programmer with his http://yugop.com/ experiments. His UI work has al

The difference is in how sure the officials are about what they can rule out. That's what's very different here. 'We're not sure what it might be', is very different from the usual 'No comment' that we&#x2

The military was happy to reveal the providence of the so called spy balloon. Not sure what the reason for the current course of action is, but if they're shooting stuff down, then perhaps it's not that banal. Even it ends up bein

Key point I think the article misses, is that 'bullshit', much like spacetime, is relative.

Considered posting an Ask HN, and this is a bit of a segue, but seems a relevant place to ask... What do people think of DynamoDB? I think it fits my use case, and apparently, there's enough overlap with Cassandra to support a migratio

Can't believe Netlify CMS has been dropped. That was a really smart little project. For sites of a certain size (which seems to be a great number of webapps), it's an almost ideal solution. Hope any fork picks up sufficient tracti

Kanye has burnt a lot of bridges, but he still enjoys a healthy portion of popularity. A very different form of popularity to that of both Trump and Musk too. Musk and Trump's audiences, I'll admit to guessing about this, are pass

If you look at how Python is used in 3D graphics (or similar DSLs in the more esoteric 3D apps), they've been using the scripting system in the likes of Maya and Blender to create inordinately complicated systems for decades. Like 3D g

The weight of user expectations, and the tools created to meet them. In between this, the big tech companies have leveraged this situation to put large segments of software developers on a treadmill, by using open source projects and excell

This is closer to my opinion. I write a fair amount of Typescript, but it's frustrating to see it used so ubiquitously, when in a lot of cases it's just not necessary. A strongly typed language definitely has a place in web UI dev

Given the number of codebases littered with 'any', and the fact that TS is known to produce app bundles that perform slower than handwritten JS code, I'm in two minds about celebrating those ten years... But it is strange to

That's not quite equivalent, but I will indulge you. The truth is, there are many tools and libraries written in CPP, with many years of accumulated knowledge implicitly embedded in their codebases, that will take a very long time to r

I think this is a silly idea. There are still loads of questions surrounding Rust. Especially about it's practicality... There are articles denigrating the likes of the trait and async systems on HN almost every day. And even ignoring

Yes. 'Rollups' would also help the situation where multiple upgrades in combination will cause an issue. Ideally though, you'll be merging master into each automated pull request regardless. But rollups would save a bit of ti

That would be a shallow reading, however. The last two major runtime issues wer actually one that broke the test runner and ignored a number of tests. And another runtime error was a Python Django specific sub dependency that broke the admi

Yes. This is exactly what I would prefer to do. My current plan is to round up all the PR requests, at the start of each new sprint (every two weeks), and make it the first development task in the sprint. The problem though, is that so far,

Many people say bad things about the algorithmic feed, but for me, the 'most recent' feed meant that often I missed tweets from people I'm actually interested in. So I switched back.
