I have watched more than a few videos where someone tries to upgrade soldered RAM at home, only ending up sending the laptop to the same repair shop they hoped to skip after a failed experiment. Unless you can put money on your words and pr

We have a "retreat" every other year or so at a certain resort across the country. What happens is that the company flies everyone there + including overseas employees) do 3 days of meeting plus 1 day of free time before flying ev

HN crowd is treating this as some sort of sorcery. Meanwhile it's just everyday business in China. People send their laptops or graphic cards with soldered RAM and get the device back with double RAM/vRAM. "Brother Zhang&quot

I don't agree with many of Ed Zitron's opinions, but it is so enjoyable to listen to Better Offline and hear him ranting about AI. At least the logic is very coherent within itself, and it's not pretentious. It is a breath of

The principle that you should not reinvent the wheel (unless there's a good reason to) has not changed. Code is a liability. Even if it is a small cost (in terms of time and money) at the time when code is generated, it can be a huge b

Deno doesn't seem to have as much momentum ever since Bun showed up, and there is concern about the status of the company. I doubt anyone wants to rely on Deno at this time. Node.js has come a long way, and its support for TS is fairly

This is a personal pursuit from what I can tell. I wouldn't use any opinion or judgment from this person to reach any conclusion about "the Zig community". This is just unnecessary. If this person can stick to these goals and

Very interesting, but without an ecosystem I doubt this person can keep maintaining it long term. Bun users who don't care about slop will continue to use Bun, those who care will go back to Node.js, and there isn't much left for

If I can choose "badly maintained history" and "no history" I'll choose the former every time. That's even less of a problem when Claude can do a first pass for you.

I have seen people talking about this "hosting a small streaming service for friends" thing, and I really have trouble understanding that. It just seems a bad idea to expose such a server to the Internet and maintain it, even with

Is the US expected to win wars? We all know how Vietnam went. Maybe consider that before asking the "why" question? Is Russia expected to win wars? And I would rather see none of these stupid wars start in the first place.

Can't comment on others, but new Node.js also has typescript out of the box and works pretty well.

It's not a fair question. You are absolutely mistaken. You have no rights whatsoever to question what a person is willing to put into an open source project. That's called being entitled and ungrateful. Perhaps look in the mirror

It seems that you still haven't realized the gigantic hole in your arguments even after I already pointed them out. If you don't know what open source software is or how projects are typically run (including where the funding, if

$200 mean very different things to different people. I would never say it's "reasonable" to expect anyone (including maintainers) to contribute money or code to an open source project. Must be easy for you to type these thing

Fighting complex technical and non-technical issues "with code" may be the most programmer way of thinking about things. To begin with, that 200 dollars need to come from somewhere. Are you going to personally contribute to that 2

You don't need to trust them. You can request information as allowed under FOIA and vote the mayor out in the next election if there is any sign of misuse. With Flock? Good luck.
