If there is such a project where every developer can contribute one single line, the result is inevitably that the codebase is a horrible unmaintainable mess. Sorry this is the stupidest thing I have seen this morning.

Just want to point out one issue in your comment -- webkit, blink would be more suitable as examples for "browser runtimes". V8 and JavaScriptCore are JavaScript engines. In other words, the page here is more about platform APIs (

It the "better integration" worth the premium of $1000+ and a subscription fee? To many people, including rich & athletic people, that is a firm no, which is why the company is failing.

"from not working out regularly... to working out 4x a week" I understand where you are from, and there is definitely a segment of people whose access to gym is hindered by other factors (convenience, time spent on transportation

For this exact reason I lost much of my interest in cooking. I know I am not a professional chef and I can't do things as efficiently as possible, but I almost always spend more than twice the amount of time finishing those recipes. Ri

EVERY time someone talks about ANYTHING related to benefits, someone tries to use the salary as a counterargument, as if a $250k salary means you are supposed to give up your whole life and NEVER ever complain about anything. Seriously?

I'm not surprised, and I haven't seen "official survey" from companies regarding employees' attitude on remote work. They don't have/show data likely because they know data don't work in their favor a

Did you just make things up? There are people who work at FAANG without a degree, but that's the absolute minority. Most people have spent years on a formal education, many of which have a master's or even PhDs.

Therefore, they should absolutely do nothing and wait for the tide, right?

It's not 1% of the work. If you have ever written public documentation, or half-decent internal documentation that is understandable to people outside your team, you would know that it takes a lot of effort to get it right. Let alone s

Honestly this seems a very "good", manageable business strategy. Cell phone number provides one method of 2FA that is easy (but not necessary secure) to use -- text messages, provides some level of guarantee that the account owner

Everyone knew IE was going away. Chrome is not, from what we can see, and is not going away any time soon. If anything, Chrome/Chromium-based browsers are eating other browsers' lunch, just look at the numbers. I absolutely hate C

No, that's not possible. Just one example -- In Rust/C++, developer is responsible for managing the memory, while in Java/Swift etc the language does most of the work for you. This alone can fundamentally change many aspects

That's just fearmongering. By that logic you can never use any closed source product. How would people trust an Outlook client won't leak your emails, or iOS/Android/Windows/MacOS isn't sharing your personal in

Exactly, in fact the reddit post talks about this situation -- the code that sents sensitive information is right there on GitHub but nobody saw it before OP did. And what could happen is that the developers maintains two codebases, one &qu

"Electron web app" That's the last thing I would worry about. I don't get why people would get annoyed at the implementation of UI if that UI is working well enough. Imagine someone says "although this password mana

I am just seeing a bunch of talking in this HN thread, which is honestly a waste of time. Anyone who actually wants to see some change, please call your local politicians to increase the budget on schools instead of posting useless comments

That's the problem here -- for many books you don't need to develop a deep understanding of the book. Even for books in programming language, I may pick up a book because I am interested in the design of the language or a certain

"Requiring a specific compiler" That happens every day in other languages. Lots of C++ projects require Visual Studio on Windows, sometimes certain other tools (e.g. https://winscp.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25

I ran into this issue and looked it up. It was an intentional design choice, and kind of makes sense when you realize that Excel sheets can have reference of each other -- they are not necessarily independent. Of course a lot of people prob

"500,000 orders per month" That's like, what, 12 orders per minute? Is this meant to be impressive or something? I bet any language run on a modern laptop can handle that.

Are you asking people to pay additional money to a third party service so that they can continue to use a service they have already paid for and should be fixed by that service provider in the first place? Don't you think this is ridic

Just like many people still don't understand why people have Kindles. They would think -- you can read books on phones, many of which are as large as 6.7 inches? Or Why not get an iPad or iPad mini, and you can do so many more things o
