I understand the removal of non-OSS-compliant software from core distributions, and see little controversy in that, as it's the risk of changing a license. What I don't understand is the many people who are talking about AWS'

Automatically ignoring types comes with intuition. After a while, you start seeing beyond the types. I hope and assume this is normal, because I've experienced this type blindness in all types languages that I've used. It's i

Wow! This is scary. I used webmin many years ago on one of my servers, and seeing this reminded me that it's still running. I was running 1.881, and I'm at least glad I never updated to the 1.890. While I haven't needed to ch

Josh talks about a lot of exciting things that Intel's driving in Rust. Does anyone know if AMD is doing similar, especially around SIMD?

Thanks for the link. I haven't explored AliExpress as we have a cap on how many items we can buy before we're deemed to be "importers" for customs purposes. I'll take the plunge and apply to be an "importer&quo

I haven't done anything practical yet, but in our country (South Africa), we've had a law recently that forces the cell network providers to allow consumers to transfer data around. For basic use (maybe 10 devices), I would be abl

Wow! Thanks, I saw SIM800L but thought that it's maybe some add-on, because the Pi/Arduino GSM components I normally see do cost more than a Pi 3. The prices that I'm seeing are an equivalent of US$10, but that's good en

Reading this has reminded me of something I wanted to explore in the past. Most of my applications/requirements for a Pi include GSM, but I've found GSM modules to be very expensive, often being more expensive than the Pi itself.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but is Julia gen-purp enough to replace C++? Can I write a hypothetical kernel with it, or a game?

Hi HN! I'm submitting this in case it's of interest to anyone, and a comparison of the JS and Rust repos might be of use to someone currently using NodeJS and wishing to try Rust out.

I was in the middle of a loosely legal argument about the politics of my country, and tonight I had found obliging people to reason with me instead of calling me names. The discussion was beautiful, until the app stopped working. I even tho

Electricity in my country is too high to justify a server/rack at home. I've thought of a desktop, but if I'm going to spend a lot, I was thinking of a replacement laptop

Taking about remote vscode, I'm failing to use it pleasantly from a home fiber connection to my Xeon server, more than average latency and regular disconnects. I was hoping that such a setup would keep me going for a few more months; m

Change the default JSON editor from Visual Studio to VS Code, and you'll tick that checkbox. When I read the documentation before I installed it, there was a part that said that the JSON config file would open in the preferred JSON edi

This post feels like hype marketing or something. They're telling me what I already know/believe about Rust, and it doesn't help that it's a guest post. They're choosing Rust for an embedded usecase, they could have

The googleapis [1] repo has the publicly accessible gRPC definitions, which you can access directly. I've done this before, though it was a bit tedious as I had to learn how to manually pass Google credentials (documentation wasn'

by nevi-me 7y ago
Yes, this. A lot (based on my last interaction 2 yrs ago) of Google's SDKs are convenience methods that hide gRPC behind. If you use a language that doesn't have an SDK, you can mostly connect directly to their rpc endpoints.

by nevi-me 7y ago
I'm yet to see enough services expose a gRPC endpoint, at least other than Google. That'll keep the perception of adoption s/low. I'm writing this as I take a break from working on a polyglot project made up of Kotlin, R

I agree, also find it confusing. I thought this meant moving from JIRA to GH, but I suppose this announces something that users and contributors of Apache projects wouldn't have thought of; that the was an active decision to move to Gi

The dealerships use VIN numbers, which end up getting you the exact part you want, even if the same car model of the same year has different parts. I suppose some of the retailers don't have this privilege.
