German trains do typically announce in English. If they don't, that's the exception. Just ask around. Most people here speak English and will be able to repeat what was said, especially if they're under 40 or so.

Meh. I have lived here for 7 years, and get a bit tired of these sorts of complaints about DB coming from the US. Germans have exceedingly little, if any, patience for anything going wrong. DB is always painted as this evil, completely brok

Technically without any optimizations this would result in a stray LEA op or something but any optimizing compiler (certainly any that support Rust) would optimize it out even at low levels of debug settings.

Good point. You can always explicitly type the underscore. Clippy even has `let_underscore_untyped` for this. Never thought about it, but I'll be adding this to my standard list of deny lints now.

I don't believe you can mark trait methods with #[must_use] - it has to be on the implementation. Not near a compiler to check at the moment. In the case of e.g. Vec, it returns a reference, which by itself is side-effect free, so the

For the Rust inclined, [[nodiscard]] is #[must_use], if you were confused. Anyway, this article illustrates a great reason why C++ is a beautiful mess. You can do almost anything with it, and that comes at a cost. It's the polar opposi

0 based has a LOT of benefits whereas the reasoning, if I recall, for 1-indexing in Lua was to make the language more approachable to non-devs. Having written a game in it (via LÖVE), the 1-indexing was a continued source of problems. On th

GP is the creator of Redis. I would imagine he knows Lua well given that Redis has embedded it for around a decade.

The only thing I dislike about Lua is the 1-indexing. I know they had reasons for it but it always caused issues.

You've yet to provide a source for this. That's why the criticisms of your claims.

As a producer, wow. She can visualize the outcome she wants without ever seeing much at all. That takes a ton of skill. Insanely impressive video.

It's not odd if you aren't the type who frequents hacker news. We are, after all, very much in a bubble here.

TIL Anna's Archive is blocked in Germany (by a rather obtrusive MitM, I might add). Get redirected to a "Copyright Clearing House" or something.

Yes, that is my point. "Yot" is pronounced differently (as in "foley") outside of America in a lot of cases.

Seconding a little, perhaps dim button to toggle the original. But I love this. So much so that I might start referring to it more than HN when I'm in a rush.

Assuming it's similar to "folly" vs. "foley".

Yeah, definitely. Austrian German is a good example of this. When I first visited I thought I was buying counterfeit goods because it looked like all the familiar products were "misspelled". Turns out they omit vowels pretty frequ

It's a class of script. A language with a script that omits vowels is called a "(pure) abjad(ic)" language. Egyptian (arguably, I'm not a linguist) and Arabic are examples of "impure abjad" languages. Usually t

I just convinced the team to switch to GitHub Actions self hosted for various reasons, but one of them being cost. This is an insult to anyone who bought into GitHub. It's an insult to all of us who have been doing OSS there for years.

It's a shame Surplus (Adam Haile's, not my succession of it) isn't cited nor is he mentioned, given that at least two of the listed frameworks were heavily and directly inspired by his work. S.js is probably one of the most i

Webcomponents are a pain in the ass to make, though. That is, sufficiently complex ones. I wish there was an easier way.

This seemed cool as it looked like a new CI/CD tool or IaC system. Then... it wasn't. The more I read the less I ever want to see this again. The LLM train has got to end at some point.

This is a good order for sure. Enjoy it GP, these are some of the most beautiful, bizarre, otherworldly pieces of art ever created.
