I wish I could explain further why your comment was hyperbolic, but your comment is now flagged. Too bad.

This is hyperbole. The hardware and software industry has about a million standards that were collectively designed and adopted by the industry. Every single IETF RFC governing the internet and W3C RFCs governing browser standards for start

Yeah agree completely. Opinions on Reddit and HN are almost always from the 5% most engaged, most online of any subgroup. These are not regular people. Is every software developer you know represented by the opinions that get upvoted on HN?

To expand on this, in case there are folks unfamiliar with Ayn Rands works. The consistent structure of her philosophy depends on 1. Metaphysics: Reality exists independently of consciousness ("A is A"), and humans can perceive it

From the thread it seems like they’re poking fun at browser vendors adding untrustworthy CAs to their trust store and not removing them even for egregious violations. Their point is that Honest Achmed is at least as honest as some of the ot

Yeah bashing big tech is an evergreen source of upvotes. Especially since it’s not always clear how something was funded. Take io_uring for example, an async I/O subsystem for Linux. Could you say offhand if this was funded by some big

Think it'll stay the same as long as the CEO (Prince) and CTO (Graham-Cumming) stay in place. Policies might change with a change of leadership, but even then I don't consider it likely.

You don't get it. For most companies free users are just a source of potential paid customers. Such companies squeeze the free users to force them to upgrade. For Cloudflare the millions of free users strengthen their negotiating power

I built my website on Cloudflare Pages and ended up using basically their entire suite of tools - Pages, D1, Analytics, Rules, Functions. The DX was pretty good because all of these features worked well together. Cloudflare offered all of t

This advice to quit social media is always a hit on HN. When I was 10 years younger I read the same thing on HN, was thoroughly convinced and quit social media. I even followed the advice of trying to stay in touch by email. Sure. Turns out

I don’t understand how you don’t understand that that’s always an option. Rust source files are written in plaintext too. There are a few people in this thread, including you, who claim that they vastly prefer the output of documentation to

> I could go on Please do. It just sounds like you’re nitpicking. If you can open a browser, open docs.rs. The GitHub repo usually contains a link to docs.rs because that’s how people prefer to read the documentation. If you prefer worki

You're right, thanks for the reminder. Simon don’t waste your time with this guy. I thought he was affiliated with htmx but he’s just some dude trying to prove he’s “right”.

You're wrong, and in a pretty obvious way. It's actually like asking what a database library will do to prevent SQL injection attacks. And the answer is simple - "don't do string interpolation yourself, instead use the `

Everyone needs to read this spec and then live and breathe its tenets … sure. This reminds me of the time when we fixed the footguns with C by making everyone into better developers. That guy is asking you if replacing a part of the html wi

They don't want to compromise, agreed. But they know they live in a state where any presidential candidate with (R) next to their name can win by 10-20 points. So they wonder how such a state can elect a Democrat without something unde

Alaska got Ranked Choice Voting and after every election cycle where a Democrat wins they're up in arms about how it's bad. This time the repeal effort got within a whisker of succeeding, while the Democrat (Mary Peltola) lost her

This needs to be higher. Not only because it shows that LLMs can do better than what OP says, but also that there’s some difference in how they’re used. Clearly the person on reddit was able to use them more effectively.

Optimising my Rust solutions for Advent of Code(nindalf.com)

I wrote a post about various optimisations I used to get my Rust solutions to run faster. A lot of these optimisations are pretty general and would apply to any Rust code, so I thought I'd write them down and share it.

I’m on zsh and it’s definitely an upgrade for me. I want to say though, great work on this migration! Really fantastic work that others can learn from when they try a similar migration.

dang would have to weigh in but it might be accepted because it’s not that far fetched? Look at all the other allegations in the economist article we’re discussing - in the context of all that flagrant conduct asking state funded students t

It's interesting yet saddening to play out the consequences along the path you've outlined. LGBT kids, by definition a 2-4% minority, are unlikely to find other people like themselves. They remain closeted for longer, trying and f

io_uring isn't supported on cloud providers for now, but it may not be the case in future. Which is fine, because Limbo won't be ready for a few years at least.
