smart answer, but I think you know what I meant: ignoring the thing about age and let her enjoy what she wrote more

Then why don't you make it irrelevant in a civilised way by ignoring it...

That's great! You have excellent inspirations, both of them. It's also awesome that your adventures with parsers happen quite early in your coding life, that's a big plus, you will look at things from different perspective. (

That "personal and meaningful" can just mean anything.

Thanks for honest words on pros and cons, the workflow indeed seems manageable but might lead to troubles for some projects.

Ah, no, the article is about what it says in the title... Are you referring to the slightly edited title someboty has put here at HN? But still, no dissonance with the content

Hmm, mediocrity can put a food on a table for already established corporation, but for a startup is not enough, is rather just a nail in the coffin.

Yeah that's ok for you to think like that, at the same time it's fun for the creators and for a number of users, including me. Btw there so many languages with sum types (and almost none that fixed data races) that everybody can c

I honestly think, everyone who uses the term "meatbag" should see a therapist sometimes. There is so much negativity in this term

@cess11 on Golang, no, rather Ken Thompson and colleagues designed a language stripped off things they find as an unnecessary cruft and they could finally get back to the fun they had before Java and OO.

No, I am precisely not looking at the world in a purely progress-driven way. I think many of creators do - they think they bring a piece of progress to the world, where in fact they might bring regress - in this context, a service which is

Funny to see myself being downvoted for a harmless call for a reason, so, few more comments: The fact someone did something and put a substantial effort into it is not a reason good enough to justify said effort (other than the benefits of

The "push files and forget" mindset is why PHP is a nightmare for operations on a serious production. To be fair, it shows up as a nightmare from a certain scale. Toy projects might not reach this level..

Another take on replacing HCL with something more sensible: BCL https://github.com/wkhere/bcl

by kunley 2y ago
Hey that's cool! I also wrote BCL ( https://github.com/wkhere/bcl ) out of frustration with HCL :) (I didn't realize when starting it that the name "BCL" has some bad press for googlers though) Your p

What about state belonging to the older code, updating http handlers, user sessions, etc, on production? While living-in-the-image seems admirable, I always wondered how it blends with real production and real ops. The only thing I heard a

Which is funny because it was marketed as close, while in reality being quite different from C++: all methods virtual, interfaces, type erasure, no method overloading, no operator overloading, no templates, to name just first things coming

No, parsing is easy... I recommend the "Crafting Interpreters" book.

That's one of his self-promo materials to get into paid subscriptions. In many arcicles he claims he has 25 years long engineering career, but it's never mentioned what he was actually doing.

There is similar reinventing trends movement also in the backend universe. For example, there is a fashion [1] to include hashes in the names of static assets served. But that's what ETag header is invented for, in the RFC since a deca

That's still an anecdotal evidence (that you in particular find them flawed) against a common sense.

Good article, there is a certain level of being tied by what others might think while they don't give a damn actually. I guess this is somehow inherent to the US society (I am from Central Europe and don't observe this things at s

The mechanism there is kind of "dontcareism": yes, indie musicians will go away, but Spotify doesn't care, because ultimately this won't stop listeners from using it, over time most of them will forget what they really w

A lot in this area comes from an expecience in operations or at least operations mindset. If you haven't solved certain problems caused by real users and real loads on production systems, you can still develop such mindset. Build a hab

Thanks for the explanations. Indeed I don't come from Rebol and the conventions seem like a terra incognita, although I can sense a significant value in them. From a past romance with Forth I see in general how concatenative languages
