It’s also distracting even if doesn’t obscure what I am looking at. Sudden unexpected movement in my peripheral vision! It’s one of the worst web design trends. The iOS Safari bar is done right, at least.

Seeing the future? Picking the right macro strategy, programming language, database, etc ahead of time, sure, an experienced developer can usually do that. But correctly predicting the boundaries of systems, libraries, APIs—and guessing who

My workplace is submitting H1-B applications for TN status employees earlier than normal, probably due to uncertainty around TNs. That said, my latest in-person TN application wasn’t more difficult than before.

An Expect-CT header would have mitigated this attack (but not for new users).

Kind of a cool hack: I believe HN used to record upvotes through a CSS rule that (when clicked) caused an empty image to load. No JS required.

I use classes to bind a data structure to a group of functions. That's mostly it. Inheritance, overrides, super calls? The less I use those, the less I miss them.

How do you feel about the ! operator?

Have you ever played a flash game? Slither.io? There is a huge market there. Steam is not one click away from a tweet or a Facebook post. Please have a nice weekend.

Games and other 3D applications? Getting people in-game (say a lazily loaded demo with slightly less perf) with one click is huge.

But in what sense would an extra VM layer be more practical? Maybe this is where we disagree. I'm not fond of VMs, especially those two. C++ or Rust -> wasm bytecode is great. Soon we'll be writing directly to command buffers,

I would argue that having to write apps in JS, or transpiling to the JS runtime, is a problem for many people.

Okay, allow me to clarify. A structure editor that has an all-around experience superior to plaintext editing, to the extent that such an editor can gain critical mass/mainstream adoption, remains an unsolved problem.
411.
by pshc 9y ago
Agreed. Source code being "denormalized" as plaintext brings practicality, yet also problems like structure-indentation mismatch, or having merge conflicts over a trivial rename. Writing a non-plaintext editor is a huge UI/UX

If I understand your first sentence, I think it says there are "old languages" that are relatively devoid of footguns. If so, which languages?

Hardware wise, Vive's tracking tech supports larger tracking volumes and is more scalable. We'll be able to add quite a few more tracked objects to a Vive scene.

I wonder if there's a CPU out there that doesn't have bugs.

Some potential use cases: - Using Merkle trees, we can assign every node a hash-based ID. So now we can refer to other nodes by ID. This lets us store a graph whose vertices are all the tree nodes. - With the graph, we can now reference bin

I agree with what you're saying, except the last part. Using ASTs as the source of truth (embedded in a source control forest) has benefits that are worth the difficulty.

I've been thinking along the same lines. The "fighting your editor" problem cannot be ignored, and it's common in VPs. Real programming code needs "jank". We need to be able to move between different states: Ba

I'd like to share some thoughts: - Visual programming tools usually only work at one abstraction level (your first point) - Often centered around a gimmick and cannot encode "normal" detail-oriented imperative code efficientl

I recently came to believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the recommended XOFs SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 are actually nice and fast, but often when people talk about SHA-3 they focus on the slower "drop-in replacements" like SHA3

To add to this, motion sickness from FPS-on-a-screen is inherently unfixable due to the lack-of-locomotion issue. But roomscale VR deals with that issue. VR done right could very well expand the FPS market.
