You might be confused. I wasn't asking for purchasing advice. I'm pointing out Apple's history of downplaying something that they have not yet implemented.

As someone that runs Kubernetes on my work laptop, all the "the memory architecture is different, so 8GB is enough" nonsense just doesn't hold up. I need a ton of memory FULL STOP. It sounds just like the nonsense Apple was s

You can't even get above 16GB with the M1. You can with the i9. It took me MONTHS to receive my 16GB M1.

As much as I don't personally enjoy writing Go. This is a huge benefit. There's a decent amount of conformity around the "right way" of doing things. I'll admit, it has definitely made me consider my approach to sol

Dude, I'm just glad to hear you're alive! Hope you're doing well.

A few years ago, right here on HackerNews, I made some comment about heroin being extremely dangerous and addictive. I had a gentleman with a Throwaway account come at me with a "cool story bro, but I use heroin often, and I hold down

I've always found this example so frustrating. JavaScript isn't curried. Plenty of languages are not. `parseInt` is overloaded/variadic. What we know is if one does not read the documentation for `parseInt`, they might get un

My first dev job was working for a company that specialized in xBase apps. We had apps in dbIII, CA Clipper and FoxPro. We were working to move some of them to Visual FoxPro 2.6. One of our Clipper apps was my first experience with porting

Sure. Now let's say you're shopping for a brand new rug for your living room. Are you going to buy it from a site the looks like HackerNews? If so, I'd venture to say you're in the minority. A used rug from Craigslist, p

Yes, and webdevs have been trying for over 10 years now to figure out how to get this right. Has no one just stopped to consider having a browser send a `prefersMobileView` or `viewport:phone` or anything like that? I can remember back a fe

Thank you for the thorough explanation.

I was always a little confused about the relationship between Scheme->DrScheme->DrRacket. I had always just considered them all interchangable.

Like I mentioned in another response, my bundle was 200k. 30k would have been significant bloat.

I'm absolutely NOT being sarcastic. In my time at Overstock, I prided myself on a mobile-first bundle that was 200k... for the ENTIRE app. The time to first meaningful paint and time to interactivity were fantastic. This was especially

It's basically a hard no from me on adding a dependency that buys me next to nothing, and bloats my payload to a customers/users mobile device. In that industry, every byte counts. In backend Java/Kotlin apps? I can pay the e

Well sure, you could do so much better with a small library like Vert.x (which I love). But getting an entire app framework with config/routing/db connectivity/etc is just so easy with Spring Boot. Plus, you get a vast ecosys

jQuery, minified and Gzipped is 30.4kb. That's completely unacceptable for my needs. This is why folks complain about bloat.

This is my experience with OCaml docs too. Basically just type signatures/function signatures. I typically use Elixir's docs as one of my go-tos for a "Gold Standard". I mentioned this in the ReasonML community too. What

I was seeing them for engineering positions. (Front end if I recall correctly). As I've mentioned elsewhere though, the release of a significant portion of their workforce as "deadwood" speaks of a company that'll drop y

Right, it's all about the optics. It smacks of desperation.

by nobleach 6y ago
For the reasons stated in other places. Seeing a company that's cutting a large portion of their workforce is just bad optics. Yes, YOU may perceive it as wise business, but those who are looking to have a job in a year might not feel

Different folks parent in different ways. Some consider it protecting their children against online bullying/unsafe content. From my perspective, the idea that I'd give my teenager a mobile device with carte-blanche connectivity s

I was JUST seeing job opportunities in my LinkedIn from these folks. That's just careless.

What I mean is, if one does: const obj1 = { a: 32, b: 42 }; function foo(ref) { ref.a = 0; } foo(obj1); console.log(obj1); in JavaScript, one is just using the variable name as a "holder" of some value. One doesn&#x2

As was explained to me, Rust has heritage from OCaml. If one squints, they can even see it still beneath the surface. I hear the original compiler was even written in OCaml.

I'd LOVE it if we could get a Why's Poignant Guide To Rust... I find that kind of weird humor helps my mind remember things.

Yes, you can clone all day long and just reuse variable names as if you were writing JavaScript, but what does that do to your memory allocation?

The railway error-handling paradigm is superior (in my mind) to the common try/catch/throw pattern in many other languages. It promotes errors to first class citizens. It's a monadic pattern that many functional programmers l
