Any website crawler should do it, for instance wget. However, I don't know any tool which tries to preserve URLs.

I generally don't like a localized console (German here). Copy and pasting error messages to Google is much easier when it is in English. I frequently run stuff like LANG="C" make to ensure English output.

We've seen small Raspi clusters (especially for web hosting) frequently on HN, always as proof of concept. But does it really stand out? What about performance/(dollar spent on hardware) or (dollar spent on electricity)? How does

tl,dr; Ken Thompson invented them overnight in 1973 and everybody was happy afterwards. An original journal article is linked ( http://emulator.pdp-11.org.ru/misc/1978.07_-_Bell_System_Tec... ) which shows an example of

In fact I find websearch not the best word to describe this function. Maybe a better name would mention this as more "human" query? Or a "simpler" query?

I find the naming of this library confusing and almost clickbait. I don't see any kind of Functor (object?) in the API, furthermore what the heck is "flowing"? Seems like a copycat to "TensorFlow". A better suited n

I learnt regex when I started with PHP in the 2000s and subsequently when I learned Perl. When I started studying copmuter science at the university, I was supper baffled that there is a full theory of regular expressions: The one of a regu

You should host the rendered Doxygen documentation somewhere. Furthermore, Doxygen is primarily designed for API documentation. You can add pages to explain concepts, but may consider to write additional documentation instead. Without docum

512GB RAM/2500 containers is still 500MB per container. In former days™ this was enough for a computer to run a complete desktop environment with a web browser and 20 tabs open (source: I had a PC with physically 500MB RAM). Is this re

I guess JS inherited this language feature from the PHP/Perl world. As a novice, it is quite handy to treat numbers and strings of numbers the same. Needless to say that it gets into your way once you are an experienced programmer. Man

Do you refer to tools like noise cancelling earphones? Or something similar for the eyes? Because when it comes to unwanted contact to people, in reality there is a duplex channel: You can talk to annoying peoples, make them stop talking. O

The ease of providing a styled user interface. In the 2000s, this was something everybody wanted to archive, the term for it was "rich user interface". Already back then, embedding a HTML widget seemed an easy way to archive that.

My feeling is that Julia is a DSL in scientific computing, like "modern Fortran". It fills a niche. In contrast, Python (still the defacto dominating programming language in many scientific computing areas) is widespread in many d

From my feeling the price tags are way too high to be paid by private people. For 10k$ one can also rebuild a personal home in a way that a room gets access to sunlight. (This number comes from experience, in central Europe)

That's a fun proof of example. The reason why URL shorteners restrict the identifier to some ASCII subset is typically that people can enter it on their keyboard. The omnipresence of unicode (where the majority of characters isnt acces

I cannot follow this pov. I was expecting an article about programming paradigms and code examples. Instead, I read a rant about money fishy gaming industries. For me, d3.js was the big intro into DDD, and I love the idioms of this library.

Single threaded, NumPy offers basically the same syntax and speed as Fortran when it comes to vector operations. Therefore, the slides boil down to "CoArrays being the Fortran killer application". I don't feel this is the who

Exactly! I spent half of my youth in an HTML-related channel. I asked these people so much and learnt so much. Of course in a chat room, you don't have so much structure as on StackOverflow.

Very cool! The screenshots look kind-of-retro (like oscilloscopes), but I guess this is really a window with two panels: A terminal left, the graphics output right. In scientific computing, there are a lot of explorative GUIs like this. Tod

Cell-Lang is interesting, but they are not the first one to address ORM code generation or even signal-slot code generation. How do they compare to the popular large popular libraries? The comparison is only given to handwritten native (Jav

Oh god, please. Yes! I am sick of all the same looking pages, all streamlined. Does anybody remember the classical frameset from the 2000s? Left Navi frame, top frame, main frame. So boring. Everybody had it. It's the same today.
