I work in that industry and make it a huge point to make sure nonsense like this never happens on anything I’m attached to. I don’t understand the mentality to purposely trick yourselves and others for short term “wins” that are anything b

This is such an incredibly stupid article where the author does a bunch of stuff wrong and then tries to turn it into some kind of a gotcha about how the idea of testing is flawed. Nobody should be trying to make statements like I got a 300

I feel like right now flutter is about 1/10th the level of popularity it will eventually reach. It has a great story for UI from multiple angles (cross platform, developer experience, tooling etc). It’s still very young v2 only came ou

I think maybe I didn’t do a good job explaining the various abstractions and how they work together but in the scenario I outlined above combining those things together you most certainly are not going to be handwriting K8s yaml files and I

This is a garbage quality post but the underlying premise I think is fair. I’ve heard much more reputable people like Kelsey Hightower make similar claims recently. Just as a matter of personal interest I spent the last year looking into th

WTAF? Was this supposed to be some kind of security thing? This misreads the room so badly on where people are at in 2021 when it comes to the idea of tech companies and consumer privacy.

This is one of the reasons I am so into Lit (lit.dev). The web platform has changed so much the past few years, vDOM made a ton a sense back when React first launched and even for many years after that. It makes a lot less sense in 2021. I

That is actually very clearly what is happening here. This combined with the "unfiltered internet access" claim all clearly points in an obvious direction. Repressive and notoriously paranoid regimes are not in the business of doi

Agreed 100%, I've been saying this for a few months now ever since I started reading the Fuchsia docs. It's very obvious that no sane business would continue to build anything on top of what is essentially the duct tape of today&#

I'm going to ignore the "Shit HN says" vibes on this one for the most part, but I suspect that Microsoft and the Azure team specifically might have some relevant thoughts about building distributed systems regardless of if yo

I don't have any .NET background or anything even particularly MS specific. However, I spent most of 2020 just playing tourist between different development / devops communities to get a feel for what are the main ideas, challenge

No need for the apology, I appreciate you taking the time to event attempt explaining it :) Let me point out where I am falling over specifically because it might be more helpful. My understanding of Actors is that because they are essentia

I wish I was smart enough to get what you were saying here but I got a bit lost on the analogy. Could you ELI5 that for me? It sounded interesting

I have only kind of recently started to look into using the Actor model as another way to scale apps. This talk outlines a bunch of great examples of how you can scale to crazy levels using this pattern with almost no database optimisations

I saw someone on the Chrome team say that this was the moment Apple’s support for the web as a first class platform died. Not sure I would disagree with that conclusion given how things have played out since then.

This is not at all my area of expertise or anything even remotely close to it but this seems to be a very similar sounding story to one of the core underpinnings of Fuschia. My understanding was that they put everything kind of dangerous in

Belarus’s KGB kidnapped a journalist from a civilian aircraft who criticised the government while he was flying between two EU nations and very likely may kill him. The comparison is ridiculous on so many levels.

I’m constantly shocked at how otherwise intelligent people still keep holding him up as a serious journalist, that really hasn’t been true for years now. I think it kind of speaks to just how big a deal first impressions matter on a deeply
