Deferring responsibility to other people is not a suitable attitude for a professional software engineer. There's a dangerous hidden assumption too in this mentality: the compiler is magic! It's not. The compiler mostly just does

A lot of poor performance in the wild comes from not batching operations that can be batched, thus increasing latency unnecessarily. Utilization of the CPU's cache line is just one instance of this problem. For example, imagine trying

I honestly don't understand the point of this. Is it just a visualization of the directory structure? I expect code visualization to more or less ignore the file structure and focus on semantic analysis. For example, show the major com

The book was written by Nassim Taleb and things like a global pandemic or supply chain collapse are exactly the kinds of things he talks about when he formulates idea such as antifragility. Now, you are right: there's a limit to antifr

M1 chip is not a product. It's a component in a product. It doesn't really do that much for the end user. Software runs faster now but in a few years everything will become slower again, as always happens.

That is not at all what antifragile is. To be antifragile you need to always have top talent and have them work on deep projects and produce top notch products. Apple had that with Steve Jobs. I don't think it has that now. I haven&#x2

I never said it must be liked by every one. I said it's better. Yes aesthetics are somewhat subjective but that does not mean there's no good answer to what is more aesthetically pleasing. A small minority of people will inevitabl

I never understood _why_ but text rendering on windows has always looked like garbage to me. It was obviously not the screen resolution or anything, because you can run a linux vm (say, on virtualbox) and the text rendering inside the VM wi

I knew about `git switch` but this is the first time I hear about `git restore`. It also never occurred to me that the checkout command was overloaded in that particular way.

I think this doesn't work for javascript because it actually matters when you await. It has implications for the UI. It also has implications about object life times. Of course, the same problem can happen in Go if you use it to make a

I think If you didn't care about commenting you wouldn't have an account on HN? I guess if you don't want comments on your blog then a static site would make sense. I tried that route but the lack of engagement kills all moti

Yea, exactly. My point is not about its reputation .. Tumblr was not designed for traditional blogging. It has no commenting system for example, just a "retweet"-like feature; I forgot what they called it. It was aimed more toward

Does it let you post content in markdown? This is important because to me a blog is just a place to publish my writings. I must be able to write somewhere else in my preferred format and just use the blog to publish it. As far as I can te

I find it so strange that blogging is such a simple problem to solve but there's really no service that does it nicely. There was a while when everyone was basing their company's official blog on Tumblr! The space is so bad people

As far as I can tell, the analysis of the problem is completely off base. The author is just trading one set of hyped buzzwords (microservices/k8s/devops) for another (oop/solid/ddd). It doesn't help when he claims

I find it insane that you think configuring environments is the right way to program. I write my web programs in Go and there's nothing to configure once a build is complete. I just get a binary and I can ship it / deploy it anywh

I object to the premise behind the post. Which is that your choice of technology should be dictated by peer pressure.

Your reasoning seems to be: Since complex interactions produce computations. Therefore complex interactions produce subjective feelings. Where's the connection? Do you understand that the concept of information is just .. anything at a

You had the choice because all the processes that determine your actions happened in your brain, which is a part of you: you are not a puppet controlled from outside. What is your conception of free will? Is it just "randomness"?
