I've seen a few comments mentioning the lack of static type checking, so I think this is probably a good time to mention my new(ish) project Teal: https://github.com/teal-language/tl It's a statically typed d

The Lua standard library also uses -1 to mean "last element" in various functions; never found it to be an issue. In fact, it feels quite symmetric, going 1,2,3 from one side and -1,-2,-3 from the other.

Yep, Kuma supports both Kubernetes with native CRDs and auto-injection, as well as VMs with sidecar data plane proxies. You can configure it via a REST API or the CLI. In multi-zone it's also possible to mix and match them in a hybrid

Didn't the Apple II feature lowercase by the time of the IIe? My Brazilian clone of the II+ included the lowercase mod stock (even including Brazilian accented characters such as ç and ã).

Because Unix won. Other contemporary OSes, like IBM's VM on mainframes, DEC's VMS, Digital Research CP/M and even Microsoft's MS-DOS and so on all favored uppercase.

This is a strawman argument. To be reminded of what it takes to truly "bootstrap" a C compiler, I recommend everyone to read Ken Thompson's Turing Award lecture "Reflections on Trusting Trust".

Thank you for this article! It's a great read. I don't regularly check Hacker News, so saw it through the "HN Tooter" account on Mastodon which forwards links to HN front page articles. Then I was curious to see what the

The short and sweet issue is that they improve connectivity between applications and all connectivity oriented issues (tracing, versioning, load balancing, etc) without having us—the developers—write any code for it.

There's a whole thread about interpreting the quote debating whether it paints rich people in a positive or negative light, and amazingly nobody focused on the part that says "they think they are better than we are". Perhaps

You can define a route to be either L7 ("http", "https") or L4 ("tcp", "tls"). For L7 routes you can use the usual routing parameters that were already available in Kong, like routing by host, by path

This needs more visibility! I have watched European conference videos using PeerTube before and the thing works pretty well. Also, great that they're using standardized federation technologies (ActivityPub, same protocols as Mastodon.)

OMG, I just realized that the point of this is to allow people to read Reddit at work while, from a distance, it still looks like they are staring at code. IOW, the point _is_ wasting time.
