For Go? Honestly not sure. In principle it can be faster but as someone pointed out in another comment this one has some subtle issues. In manual languages like C or C++, you can use these to allocate a fixed set of memory on program init (

It’s a subpar way to treat ADHD and similar issues with focus/attention. Subpar because other medications or non-medication treatments are usually better - but many use it as an accidental coping mechanism.

Sad but true. And many of those third parties, even security-oriented ones, care more about profits than privacy.

I’d rather see someone code, refactor, write tests, and debug than regurgitate acronyms like SOLID. In other crafts we accept that there is a difference between knowledge and experience. Software is no different.

Glad I am not the only one who noticed, and not just Ory posts. Once in a while, the leading question and last paragraph of how “my product X solves this” is okay. Sometimes even informative. But too often and bleh it is like spam.

As someone diagnosed in adulthood. I either trust the several medical professionals who have diagnosed me according to DSM criteria or trust you, a random HN commenter with a bone to pick, that I don’t have it and am just being whiny. Seems

This comes off as passive aggressive and misinformed. I agree with not putting personal things on work devices as much as possible. Been in the industry for a while now, no one cares if you pull out your phone. Generally, people treat other

It is defined by the smallest physical feature on the transistor - regardless of what that feature is. It used to be defined by the size of gate iirc - that is why people say it has no relation to the physical features.

Minimally processed leaf extract? You make it sound like extracting cocaine is the equivalent to making sugar.

Because it is a mechanism for ReDOS, and the standard library should not be introducing vulnerabilities into users. Other libraries can implement it for folks who decide they really need it.

Thinking of an electron as a thing that travels from the start of the circuit to the end results in a bad mental model. Think of it as a wave, and then watch this video https://youtu.be/DovunOxlY1k . Then you will have a str

Tried Notion, Todoist, Trello, Obsidian with many plugins, plain-text files, hand-written notebook, Things 3 and more. Ended up at using Lunatask for task tracking and Bear as my wiki. I mostly do work on Mac, to separate gaming life from h

On the other hand, I have seen an executive step away from a large company and then everything coincidentally goes to shit. It’s hard to measure the effectiveness of an executive.

She also admits her bias and is staking her reputation as a journalist on that tweet - versus us commenting behind a pseudonym. It’s the closest to a fact we will have at the moment.

AGI at all costs sounds more terrifying than monetizing ChatGPT. Seems like there could have been a balance to strike.

In many cases, I believe distaste to “abstraction-less” code is an avoidance of discomfort. “I have never programmed like this, this feels uncomfortable, therefore I label it as unclean or bad quality code”. But then the appropriate time wi

You may naturally be in a neutral position and not tense your wrists / hands. I found tension from stress to be the worst. Even running would help my RSI, as it helps relieve stress. Adding an ergonomic keyboard to the mix completely f

Why would you market to people who just bought an M2 Pro this year? Those who are going to upgrade, will anyways. Seems silly to market to people telling them to buy new multi-thousand dollar laptops every year.

Very much a speak to a lawyer moment. Designing an efficient vector database from scratch should be fine, but you likely will need to document this process for defense in court. And you may not use any resources from your previous job. But

I could spontaneously combust tomorrow, but I don’t build my life around that. Interacting with people has a risk associated with it. For women, this risk is much higher. For men, now with things like #metoo, the risk has been raised. If y

People are overly dramatic when it comes to typing err != nil. I’m not going to say it’s a holy grail in error checking. But I have yet to be convinced on the benefit of exceptions vs. the hell hole of complexity they bring. They stuck to t
