No chance, "lol" has been in usage for at least 25 years, possibly more than 30.

It’s funny you mention libpq, because my first thought upon reading the article was “I wonder if a pure Ruby implementation of the postgres wire protocol could possibly lead to performance improvements?

I'm far from expert on anything to do with the industry you're targeting or the engineering challenges you might be facing, but the idea sounds so reasonable I'm surprised it's not already a thing. I'm curious thoug

Completely off-topic, but if the author happens to be here: What is the system you are using to justify text? The "hanging" parenthesis on "(Understand that what I'm about to describe, ..." caught my eye, and it app

I've mentioned it here on HN before, but I've been using https://jhuddle.github.io/ponys/ for this and I still think it's pretty great.

That varies greatly depending on where you are in the world. In most of southern europe "a coffee" is an espresso, and outside of urban and/or tourist centers the normal price is less than 1€. The study was done in Verona, wh

Not specific to colorization, but didn’t something like this happen with the Star Wars trilogy? Lucas made a re-release with a few edits (that were not universally liked) and it’s now impossible to purchase a new copy of the original versio

Sure, I’m not trying to make the argument of the OP, just clarify it because I do think it warrants consideration. Regarding the role of shame in the rise of fascism (and the NSDAP). I agree it played a role, but I would characterize that a

You may be interested to know that the Ceylon language has this (or had something very similar, I’ve not actually used it myself)

One suggestion: allow the `minutes` input to wrap and increment the hour instead of setting max="59". This allows somebody to hold the up/down arrow and get a sense of how hour changes are represented.

This is extremely similar to https://jhuddle.github.io/ponys/ which I've been using quite happily. The `data-mark="foo"` convention is interesting, similar in spirit to ng:bind or knockout attributes.

Only ~6 years instead of 10, but I’m also not really sure what the problem is with autoloading lib. The only concrete problem I’m aware of is the presence of lib/tasks creating a Tasks constant. However I’d argue that lib/tasks (l

One approach that I feel is underexplored would be building a language server that is extensible from within the analyzed program. Somewhere adjacent to procedural macros and compiler plugins, there's probably a sweet spot for dynamic

What's especially nice about this, is that it can be explained as a more or less syntactic transformation. You don't even need a special keyword, just a rule that method bodies beginning with `in PATTERN` are wrapped in an implici

That’s already valid syntax meaning “resolve the String constant starting at foo”

I've noticed when prompting ChatGPT for code that it occasionally invents libraries that don't exist at all, or adds it own input if something about a prompt is strongly connected to its latent knowledge. For example, I asked it t

ah sorry, I was not very precise about "hashed". What I meant (and have done in the past) is to encrypt/decrypt the auto-incrementing ID at the application boundaries. If the OP is really using a one-way hash then yes, you wo

by grncdr 4y ago
Not the poster you’re replying to, but with this approach you generally don’t store the hashed identifier. Just encode/decode at the application boundaries.
