Point #1 was my biggest turn off. Numbers 2 and 3 are good points too.

For the purpose of this post, are we considering a "subpage" to be any route which can generate a unique dynamic response? It doesn't fit my idea of a subpage so wanted to clarify.

I don't understand how an implementation detail means it isn't doing what is advertised?

I always find posts like this fascinating. I love the direction of going low tech and maintainable, but I have never once found myself spending significant time looking through old work. Photos are the one exception but I've always bee

I absolutely do use software written in rust and I do so because of its superior feature set or user experience. The fact that it's written in rust has so relevance to my interest in new software. If the defining feature is something t

My frustration comes from seeing posts with no obvious merit other than the language they are written in. If that's the most compelling feature of your software then I don't care too see it on the homepage. Writing compelling head

This is interesting and clearly a true claim, but anecdotally I feel like the combination of 1) lands on HN homepage and 2) includes "written in" in the title is heavily biased towards Rust. I don't know how to search for tho

Thank God this VMM is written in Rust, otherwise I would be very skeptical. I don't care about features or purpose or technical advantages, give me Rust or give me death.

I was being sarcastic, yes. Also the title used to include "written in Rust"

Thank God this file format is written in Rust, otherwise I'd be extremely skeptical.

Ok, I conflated terminal instruction with text editing instruction. I thought the post made them sound like they behave the same but it sounds like I misunderstood, thank you.

I'm not trying to be obtuse but I am actually confused how a modern machine correctly interprets CRLF based on the description in this post. If a modern machine interprets LF as a newline, and the cursor is moved to the left of the cur

On my team this happens due to individual laziness and I don't think tabs would solve that problem.

Having 75% of the landing page dedicated to Zero, then clicking into "read more" to learn that it isn't even released yet, feels weird. This feels more like a soft launch than a grand opening, which is fine but not what I exp

I think the key point in this post is actually right at the end where the author states that their goal is always to understand the other person. If that's your goal, I agree it's usually pretty easy to avoid flame wars and get pe

Does anyone else think this title is super confusing for the linked content? Seems like it could be relevant for the related release of the software but this specific post doesn't mention WYSIWYG or how it ties into automation routines

I very much agree with the base premise here, but I do think with art (music, movies, books, etc) there can also be value in working to appreciate that which does not immediately reveal itself. Sometimes good art doesn't catch you in t

That makes sense! This is obviously just my preference, but in both cases I would prefer this to be a config option, so I could control it e.g. by an environment variable. Local dev? Probably don't care about timestamps and probably wo

Looks like a cool project, and props for making it universal for all runtimes. A few pieces of feedback: 1. I don't understand the use case for emojis. If I'm using a logging library in production it's so I can pipe my struct

I found this post a little shallow. The conclusion is that stricter code review can reduce toil. Ok. What else?

With all due respect, if you are making calculang with the goal of creating a tool for others to use, you need to work on a concise and clear description of what calculang is and why it exists. I'm sorry but I still have no idea what i

Since this seems to be a dual purpose post with the secondary goal of promoting calculang, I'll say I do not understand the value prop of calculang at all. It doesn't look like a library or language or anything, it just looks like

While I have no love for cruise ships, this type of engineering absolutely blows my mind. Same with mega skyscrapers or any other huge engineering project with exacting requirements. In web dev I'm lucky if I even get a complete spec t

I might have missed it but I would like to see what the return types look like, and how type safe they are. The query interface is interesting, I'm not sure I'm sold but if I don't know how to use the result then I'm not

This is refreshing to hear. The DSL provided by this plugin feels like an entire new language to learn. My experience with Tailwind has been positive but I'm not sure I want to learn new ways of doing the same things just to stay withi

A cool write up with an approachable explanation of algorithm optimization! I wonder how long it would take me to arrive at this algorithm left to my own devices...
