There’s a lot I disagree with but I’ll point out one in particular. > how do we make content presentable as easily as possible, with as little duplication as possible, and with as few negative impacts to the user as possible. Why is this

There's a general distain for fancy tooling like IDEs. I have to wonder how a lot of these people would think of programming these days, with the rise of AI, ubiquitous code analysis, linting, formatting, CI, packages. Even in the shor

It's important to remember that all best practices are not created equal. I'd prioritize readability over DRY. I'd prioritize cohesion over extensibility. When people talk about best practices, they don't talk about how

This is a neat idea, since cold brew has a common criticism of an oxidized flavor due to its long steep time. A shorter steep could get you the smooth flavor without the oxidation

The problem here is the sheer cost of college. Since college is so damn expensive, it creates a lot of risk aversion. You can't flunk a student or take away their scholarship because they'll end up with a lifetime's worth of

Very cool! It's effectively treating code as an immutable data structure, so any code change only requires sending the changed code and a small main function.

Yeah Rust is popular because it's a practical language with a nice type system, decent escape hatches, and good tooling. The borrow checker attracts some, but it could have easily been done in a way with terrible usability.

It's so frustrating how code hosting is like 10 years behind the big tech companies' internal tooling. Like GitHub is still terrible for stacked PRs, monorepos, code search, refactoring, etc. We're just starting to catch up w

The Martian has a charm to it. It's not a massive literary achievement, but it has a character with charisma and actual feelings. The Three Body Problem is entirely cardboard cutouts with at best laughable motivations and at worst, non

The ginger helps with the aroma. What fish are you using? In theory you could age the bones for a few days, since ultra fresh fish actually has less glutamates. You can also roast the bones to get some light color. Or add in some kombu for

Fish stock is an underrated one too. I’ve been getting into making sushi from whole fish and inevitably you end up with some bits and pieces from the fish, like the pin bones or the leftover spine. Boil it with some ginger and you’ll get a

Did any V8 people work on Go? And V8 is an implementation of an existing language, so that fits under "very good software engineer, very bad language designer". As for C, well, it's not a fantastic language. Not to mention, i

It has generics now . It took them a solid 10 years to get it. Packaging took them what, 8 years? They had that ridiculous GOROOT stuff for the longest time. And interfaces are basically duck typed.

Not even Java. The entirety of programming language development. Go is a language written by very good software developers but very bad language designers. It's an entire language of "why don't you just..." statements. E

In What Tech Calls Thinking, there’s a part that analyzes tech college dropout culture. There was a good point that it’s this odd double bind of wanting the prestige of the school but also wanting to rebel or deny it. You want to show to ev

Hmm I dunno, this architecture feels simple in some ways but genuinely pretty complex in others. Like they defined their own protocol? That's pretty not-simple. It's like the StackOverflow example. Sure, the architecture is concep

Ehh I would disagree here. Yes, prettier uses the classic pretty printing paper, but almost every pretty printer does in some form. And even then it’s subjective how you compile the actual syntax down to the printer elements. Prettier uses

Agreed. It’s not a very good shape. Uniformity of thickness is important for pasta shapes. It’s why wheels or farfalle also suck. They have thicker and thinner points that cook unevenly

Why do people care about reddit karma or HN points? Why do people put lights on their gaming rigs or stickers on their laptops? It's fun and provides social validation.

A billion dollars is cheap considering it saves Google from having to pay Apple or Mozilla more money to stay the default search engine. Google gives Apple 10 billion a year just in traffic acquisition payments.

I agree with the programming language sentiments, but in its defense, Go is very much a language for and by people who don't care about programming languages. I mean this in the nicest way. Rob Pike doesn't care that the concurren

I’m confused. Is the workflow to rebase branches and squash merge into main? Because that’s what I do at work and it works quite well. You get atomic PR merges so reverts are easy and you get the clean history for a PR so people can in theo

If you like passionate writing about chinese food, I highly recommend Fuchsia Dunlop’s new book, Invitation to A Banquet, which goes over chinese food in remarkable detail. Each chapter is devoted to a single dish or technique and it really
