Theoretically it should start with 'Nah', but most people starts with 'Neh' unless they're professional narrators.

It is fair to retaliate. But it's a sort of whataboutism. The problem is the direction the competition is heading. You see, China built the Great Fire Wall. A bizarre thing is more and more countries are considering to do the same seri

I'm pretty good at JavaScript ecosystem, like Webpack and all other staff. But for me, to setup some full-sized project is still pretty daunting, and boilerplates and scaffolds are pretty messy and brittle. When I'm setting up sid

Wow, congratulations! I wonder, would this lead to open source Datomic in one day?

It's remain to be seen. But one important factor why China is ruling this industry right now is not only because the cheap labor, but also the massive supply chain. If you're prototyping some electronic hardware, you're in Hu

I agree that TDD sometimes cause complexity. But TDD done right usually use coarse-grained tests which usually require less flexibility because it's almost end to end, and require less layered architecture. It's more like a descri

There has been a lot of bash on TikTok recently. TikTok is by no means good, but I'm yet to see it proofed much worse than counterparts from Western companies. A lot of videos and articles make me feels more like pure anti-China sentim

I just bought it last month and it's amazing. Especially usually most standup desks are wobbly at their maximum height, while IDÅSEN doesn't even shake a bit.

For me the paradox of tolerance doesn't make too much sense is because intolerance usually is recursive. There would be intolerance, and intolerance of intolerance, and intolerance of intolerance of intolerance, so on so forth. It is u

Wow, that's a good example of recursive thinking! ([Rabbits], Grass) -> [Rabbits]

This is an excellent read. I was always wondering if CRDT would really achieve encapsulation, but this kind of things are very hard to know without trying. Thank you for you works!

Don't design for future use cases, unless it's a library that may be extended. Instead, write concise code. Modify the code when the use cases change. In most of the times, open-closed principle is a trap. However, over-engineerin

ADT cannot be extended. Maybe I should say Algorithm W instead of Hindley-Milner languages - Haskell added extensibility via Type Classes.

I'm sorry for not being clear on this but I'm not sure how to name it in English. I was referring to those wireless devices with a small USB receiver.

Actually a lot of people in China also agree they should joint the CPU battle since this year. In China, there was always an ongoing debate on if we should design our own chip for quite a while. From the economical perspective, there's

Sounds very promising. I try it out tonight. I'm always wondering people are not interested in powerful interactive development environments anymore. Like those environments for Smalltalk and Common Lisp. Modern development sucks. I ho

Theoretically white on black is harder to recognize than black on white. When you have the same font weight, the white on black approach tend to make people feel the stroke looks thinner and more blurry. If you are curious you can switch to

I'm wondering the same thing. There are also a lot of people in HN who share the same view. Maybe people can also think more about how to bring the hacker ethos back? Or prove if it's not economically feasible?

That's why I said 'equivalents'. There are also application engines in major cloud providers, base on your technology. Some tech stack can run serverless. For self-host scenarios, things like Dokku could also work.

Kubernetes is great but most projects don't really need it. Better go with Heroku equivalents than feeding a whole team, before you really need a whole team to feed Kubernetes.

I agree with you that Erlang usually is not in the category of 'boring' technology. It's pretty risky for most teams. Despite Erlang was old, those ideas are both alien and novel to most people. The idioms, the patterns, and

This is pretty much spot on. People usually missing the point of 'boring' because they would think of unpleasant and ancient stuff. The key value is indeed to avoid surprises. When I read WhatsApp used Erlang back in the day, I wa
