Chrome got fat Vivaldi works quite well as a thinner Chrome alternative IMO.

Russia sees extremes of both heat and cold. That may play a part in deciding to use separate rail piece.

How did the local url get there? Or, to look at it from another angle, you could just click on the app and it opens?

Weird. 1 out of 87 vendors. I wonder what they found that others didn't.

Funnily enough, I've been writing my own Lisp in C recently. Interesting to see how it is done by someone skilled. The boxing of expression pointers into a single float is really cool.

Yes, it certainly could be (and probably has been) a visual language. And it could also be a plain text-based language too. But a visual language either requires specialist tooling which I think deters a large number of people, or if implem

I'd like to see a language that can clearly model concurrency using a Petri Net-like structure, ie a data flow language with flexible state/transition handling. Technically, the runtime is the easy part (relatively speaking). Mode

I think a pod gives you how to deploy a cell. But there's still a discussion to be had about what goes into the pod. The key part (from a quick read) seems to be the gateway component. That looks like it has a significant role in m

Agreed, and it's far from being new too. My P15 came with this a few months ago. Just disable Secure Boot in BIOS.

I once visited a geothermal plant about 20km outside Reykjavik that supplies hot water for heating the city. Even in the depths of Icelandic winter, the temperature only drops 1 deg C between the plant and the city. A lot of Rockwool around

I suspect a lot of the gripes and grousing about Kubernetes comes from SMEs trying to run it themselves. That will often result in pain and cost. Kubernetes is a perfectly good platform for any size operation, but until you are a large org,

IIRC Vite wraps esbuild, which is written in Go and very fast.

Ironically, what you've written there applies to modern Java frameworks too.

Same for my 12yo son. He seemed to have connected very well with his audience.

Operators/OLM/channels/operand versioning/upgrade testing. Even typing out the words makes me want to lie down in a dark room.

Maybe, but the pipeline required to do all that in 2005 would be considerably more complex and brittle than the 2022 version using tools and infra designed for the job.

The problem isn't per se monorepo v multi-repo, it's ensuring that your lines of communication between components, ie your APIs, are shared reliably and coherently. When teams take the stability & versioning of their APIs se

There does seem to have been a lot of Zig coverage recently on HN, and that's by no means a complaint. But I'm not sure that it quite goes for the same space as Rust. I have only really kick the tyres, but it seems to me that Zig

Ok, I just went back to see what I did. In fact I echoed a script into sqlite via stdin, not by using `-cmd ''`. In that case, I didn't need to use the :memory: table, and sqlite exited normally when done.

I had to do something very similar for analysing CVE information recently, but I don't remember having to use the :memory: option. I suspect it defaults to that if no .db file is specified. Slightly tangentially, when doing aggregate

Interesting to read about variable mutability here: https://verdagon.dev/blog/on-removing-let-let-mut Originally there was let and let mut like Rust. But that was changed to simple assignments, followed by the comp

Why should it be? It's basically a unikernel in a zip file.

It contains some useful debug launch configs that would take time to work out otherwise, and also some settings that appear to make the Node part and Go part work it bit more nicely together. I don't think there are any red flags there

Not the same distribution of revenue and resources though. London & Westminster have an excessive degree of power and might, and the other nations, as well as much of the rest of England, are powerless as a result.

What you call friction is usually a symptom of process. BigCos use process to protect themselves from stress and failure. When things go wrong at BigCo, it often hits the news and can affect the livelihoods of a large number of people and c

Are there any Prolog scripting engines or embeddable runtimes? It feels like the kind of thing where you might use it to solve a small part of your problem domain and leave the rest to a conventional language.
