I remember switching to Gusto early on in the life of my startup, and how surprised I was to realize that I was excited about payroll software. The UI and UX were 100x better than the stuck-in-the-90s software we were using previously. It m

I recall this plaguing the Secure Scuttlebutt project -- they were signing JSON objects that were encoded however Node saw fit to encode them, which meant that in order to write an alternative implementation of the protocol, you had to enco

We do in fact already make it trivial to remove content from your host. Law enforcement can provide a list of hashes, which you pass as parameters to a CLI command that deletes them.

It's weird to me that there aren't more compile-to-Go languages. The ecosystem of Go packages is great, and the runtime is undergoing continuous refinement by a team of really smart people.

I'm writing a GitHub CI bot specifically for Go. There are so many ways you can improve on existing CI if you integrate deeply with a specific language. You can cache test results for packages whose source code hasn't changed; you

Functional options were exciting when they were first discovered, and they're used in a few popular APIs (e.g. gRPC), but they haven't become as ubiquitous as you'd expect if they were truly superior. My guess is that a stru

The problem in this case is not the looping over each pixel, but the overhead of invoking a dynamic method on each pixel. For example, if you're iterating over a []byte and setting each value to zero, the compiler can optimize that to

I assume they mean a system that uses existing crypto algorithms, rather than building everything completely from scratch. For example, if the system involves a key exchange, followed by the derivation of a shared secret, followed by symmet

To be fair, it's hard to get people excited without fresh branding. Come to think of it, there have been previous campaigns to get people to reduce their screen time, but "Deep Work" seems to be the most successful yet. Perha

Your original comment claimed that merely watching the (alleged) hypocrisy of grieving parents was more painful than losing a child. That is very different from claiming that the collective suffering of millions outweighs the suffering of

Ridiculous. The two are not even remotely comparable.

Pretty neat. You can see this exact approach in the Go standard library: https://golang.org/src/math/bits/bits.go#L35 Nowadays, of course, ctz gets compiled down to a single instruction (e.g. bsf on x86) :)

Thanks, this is really interesting. I had a vague idea that "art" used to mean something different, but I didn't know it was akin to what we now call "engineering." By that definition, programming is unquestionably

Code is a medium; consequently, artists will use it to make art. I would agree that most of the examples you cited are artistic, but this does not make programming an art form, any more than a beautiful sword makes swordsmithing an art form

by nemo1618 8y ago
Sure, but only because "art" is essentially boundaryless and actively resists attempts to define it. If you stretch the definition far enough, everyone is an artist and everything is an artistic medium.
