I’ve been using the same dotfiles git repo for 16 years across Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD. Config files all go in the same place on all those systems: a bunch of symlinks in ~ like ~/.ssh/config -> ~/.dotfiles/ssh

The marginal happiness for 1% of security nerds would be vastly outweighed by frustration for 99% of people who don’t care. I don’t want a bunch of broken fake USB-C cables lying around that work for slow charging only and will totally fail

(I’m not affiliated w/ zero) zero-cache and Postgres both will run for free on your local machine in docker. If you want to run zero-cache for free in the cloud, you can probably run Postgres for free in the cloud in the same way. zero

I’m sharing my perspective and experience from working on both the provider side and the website side in the hopes it helps any HN readers building something. Some things you cannot control - people sending takedowns, provider fuckups. Some

It usually all goes through the same kinds of process pipeline. Complain about URL to provider, provider sends complaint to you, you remedy complaint, then notify provider. In this case it seems provider totally dropped the ball. It’s a bad

It’s very typical to report to a site’s host or provider on a specific page under the DMCA. The way this works is that the host will ask you to take down the page, and if you don’t, the host needs to take action or they become liable. This

Big +1. Here using the turn signal is iffy because some drivers see that as a sign to speed up to try to overtake. I’ve had a few close calls where I check my mirrors, everything is safe for a lane change, turn on the blinker, and the guy i

If you have auto-differentiation, it is tractable to do machine learning in a language. Because slang runs on any shader language & GPU, it could enable generalized acceleration of ML training on any graphics hardware which is cool. You

I poked around a bit on their docs site [1] to get a feel for the language, and these two features stood out to me: > - Interfaces and generics provide first-class alternative to hacky preprocessor-based or string-pasting shader specia

I would prefer explicit linear types for locks, I find following Rust code using locks is very confusing - like an compiler-enforced call to `defer drop(lock)` to make it clear how it works. But I'm a noob at Rust.

This is a very silly straw man. RAII style is a syntax feature that doesn’t imply a specific semantics for how big the “resource” is, or how it’s allocated or freed. The only difference in Rust versus Zig is that Rust calls the de-allocator

For sure I get that, and same. I mostly play games these days on Steam Deck as a wind-down activity that competes with reading a book or watching a YouTube video. It doesn’t complete with high energy activities anymore.

I don’t want to build in a language without types, but low code is even less types than Rails. I’ve just never worked on a public app that was simple enough for Rails to feel good - Airbnb was rails but by the time I got there it was very m

The easy way to deal with this is to just treat any pointer coming from regular Go that isn't annotated as //@NotNull or something as an Option<*T> - no need to ask the user to do the conversion, the compiler can just h

I don't work on the language, but I think building a compiler in Go (or C) is a pain in the ass compared to using a language that has discriminated union types, and based on the aesthetics of the language, the authors probably agree wi

Many major 3rd party libraries in Javascript either have their own global state, like React, or you interact with platform global state, like NodeJS `process` global (eg `process.on(signal, handler)`) or browser `window.navigator` or `windo
