How about get your masterpiece working and post a Show HN instead? (I generally prefer a product to comment on than a plea for customers).

Some might say that as many people started writing c++ compilers as those of C but that the C++ crowd just haven't finished them. Perhaps another decade? I don't envy anyone writing such a compiler. Its possible but I didn'

I usually interview them. Asking a lot of questions during the interview. The bad employers/HR often get frustrated because they see interviews as some wacky control/power thing where they expect your questions only at the end. In

While pointing out that factorio has bugs is factually true, its effectively just clickbait in terms of the duration of how long they impact players if at all. I'd judge that newsfeed into oblivion. But these articles are few. The main

You assume antagonistic intent when all I suggested was you back up a one-liner claim with a straightforward explanation.

Same reason for me. I installed signal because I already have multiple others for video/chat/messaging apps and everyone is scattered across each of them. One more app? So what? People in the media, twotter, etc act as if there is

Interesting. You think that my criticism of BLM and antifa is about peaceful protests. Or that sometimes protests become violent and thats acceptable? Ah ok. So them also looting random business and demanding people handing over houses is f

I regard lua as essentially trivial to embed and to use to script a host application. The ease of hooking to/from the host application written in C is very straightforward and painless. Its possible to have lua call C which calls lua w

I think this is true along multiple dimensions and across multiple disciplines. Not even just in computing. I've seen this in healthcare.

Weren't various famous people getting various BLM people out of jail? Isn’t that, not so good? Lot of looting going on. My position is that its not-so-good for these groups to get a free pass since the precedent that is set then messes

The flip side of my impromptu "rule" is that you can drop the "careful" part as long as you are comfortable with a little or a lot of mess. Obvious common sense lowers the tolerance. I wonder how others set their toleran

I've done plenty of maintenance programming. Most OO involves abuse of the paradigm anyway. Most people don't use inheritance to large AND good effect. Or they use it and create a mess. Deep hierarchies of inheritance need to be c

Antifa writing death threats is unacceptable. No excuses. If the cause supports it then they are more about violence than fixing/improving the world. Beating up journalists as they report is also unacceptable in a democracy regardless

A massive fine might help. Social pressure in the form of "corporation xyz only supports ie6 for their bank website" is another way.

Actual Linux on mobiles can't come soon enough. Google aren't running AI on these listings. Its just a regex and perhaps some graph queries to pick up suspicious activity. I doubt any appeal will work unless the social media angle

It seems like this kind of information would be trivially available in a democracy because not knowing it is an impediment to informed voting. Especially when people are on various committees and lobby groups are involved. Speaks to bias, v

This stuck out as an important point: [As a] "student, I was even told never to attempt to replicate before I publish." An actual scientist would never say this. I know about the real world, costs and pragmatism etc. No actual sci

Personally, I'd prefer you just create a proof of concept, put it up somewhere and simply post a Show HN. Then do your thing. Improve it. Figure out the kinks. Maybe post the Show HN after these have gone through a few iterations? Mayb

Being able to walk away is often a good bargaining chip to have during negotiations. Google should be careful however because plenty of people might just simply accept this and change search providers away from them. Perhaps gmail is next?

Sensible spec. The price isn’t outlandish for what is basically a desktop with a relatively exotic CPU. 16GB ram is minimum for development in my view even though you can do a lot in 8GB. I'm sure people would start comparing it pricew
