I have a colleague who could benefit from this type of new treatment. Since HN is a wonderful place with a multitude of experts in various fields, I'll throw a question in the air: Who and how would I contact, if I wanted to know mor

I am personally waiting for the first viable consumer device by a major player like Apple/Samsung, with hand gesture support (without additional peripherals like gloves). To me, that is the missing component for the entire sector to

:D that kind of sums up my point doesn't it. Having a 1TB flash drive helps.

I use LinkedIn as a honeypot/blacklist for companies that do unethical spam. Just keep a text file with companies/people I won't work with.

I find it a refreshing experience to look at your own code from 10 years ago, or even 5 and think "Who wrote this shit?". If I ever look at some of my old code and feel good about it, that means I have failed to improve.

I've experienced some performance differences with UUIDs vs integers, but it has been minor enough to never cause any issues, even in tables with billions of records.

Agreed. Using UUID-s for keys is useful to exclude entire classes of security issues. Most notable are many kinds of enumeration attacks.

Thanks, bookmarking this for whenever I stumble back into doing recreational gamedev.

I enjoyed that reference a lot, thanks for this :)

Thank you for the thorough answer.

Does anyone happen to know of any geospatial indexing solutions that can also index simultaneously by other dimensions. Temporal indexing for example (not only where, but when)?

Laughed a little bit too hard at this, 10/10, good joke.

This reminds me of some wonderful 90s web games. Before XHR, an early web game built for Disney used a .gif as a one-way websocket to stream data into the webpage. This is due to the fact, that a .gif animation can be as long as you want an

Not sure if it is true in general. But from the perspective of the software industry, our company has been remote-first since its inception. We do encourage coming to the offices, but it has never been mandatory. I think there is a fine bal

This could lead to an interesting situation, where in June of 2029 a multitude of double-spending attacks are initiated on various banking/financial software across the world, with the attack lasting a few seconds in total. What a head

One of my comments in HN came up in a business transaction, where the opposing party wanted to know how a specific technical optimization problem I described, was solved. Generally, I appreciate reading the thoughts of other people who have

The most amazing thing I saw with a microservices first approach was someone building a betting system with microservices. So if you made a bet, one microservice would make an http call to another to request your balance, make a decision ba

3dcitydb with PostGIS on Postgres is pretty neat for those kinds of operations.

I really enjoyed "Land of Lisp". I don't code in Lisp for work, nor do I prefer it as a language, but it has some really deep ideas that are useful regardless of what you build and what tools you use.

I think this discussion here is good. Whether it be an ORM or something like JOOQ it is always a tradeoff. I've found that the main pain point for me with these technologies is, that in any relatively complex project, you might want to

This is seriously dope, love it! If you are taking any suggestions for commercial games, then I would play the hell out of Imperial.

Ugh, yeah. So this benchmark is comparing apples to oranges.

Hi, developer here. This is a PEP/AML checking tool for developers of financial software. PEP lists are often hard to access or prohibitively expensive, so this is our attempt to launch a reasonably priced service, that you can try out

No problem. I think of it as collectively saving the mankind another 10 hours of debugging.

It might have to do with the retina settings that rescale after rendering. I had this issue when we were testing 3DC.io on some Macbooks. Play around with the scale and css a bit, there is some information on Stack Overflow if you search fo

Not sure about the stack Stripe uses, but if they do use Mongo, then they I presume they made it work well enough with a sheer force of will and reimplemented many ACID guarantees in the application layer themselves. That is of course assum
