I definitely know what "A" and "model" means.

HN is inundated with posts announcing paper thin abstractions on top of existing technology or utilities that just move the goalpost of what you knowledge you need to be effective. It's a weird trend that seems almost entirely motivate

I've read the introduction and descriptions two times now and I still don't understand what this adds to the proceedings. It appears to be an extremely thin abstraction over object storage solutions rather than an actual DB which

If we lower the bar on papers getting published even further it'd be on the floor. Even with a simple physics argument you can immediately disprove the claim. Human brains have a known amount of compute (as in, we are at most an order

Netflix should make a documentary on why people in this modern day and age still gravitate towards Twitter-esque social media platforms. It has been shown over and over that they make people less happy, less productive, more stressed and (i

Managing people is such a wildly different skillset compared to engineering that it still puzzles me the former is the assumed "next step" for an engineer. Managing engineers is a facilitating job and should be viewed (and paid) a

That site has incredibly annoying scrolling behavior. Scrolling up instantly pulls down the header again.

Ah! That's the bit of context I was lacking. Thanks

What problem/niche is this language a solution/fit for? I've been clicking around for 30 minutes now and have yet to find a defining feature that makes it (significantly) more productive and/or robust than Java or C#.

Every time I see a post like this and read the comments I'm more convinced that there's a division between programming language enthusiasts and developers and only the former group cares about any of this.

Sort of a tangent but I feel it's a little troublesome that the Supreme Court can deny appeals without even a paragraph of motivation. Clearly they need to filter based on some criteria or another so denying the appeal is fine. But I f

There's plenty of good reasons to charge different amounts for the same services. There's nothing immoral about that. People can simply say no to making the purchase for the price offered to them. Again, this is completely besides

And yes, loan sharks are legitimate businessmen in the US. Not most other places mind you because *there's legislation preventing it*. You're conflating "can" and "should" consistently, much like most other peo

Are you being intentionally obtuse? Those two things are, again, completely unrelated. As a person I do feel capitalism in its current form results in demonstrably unethical practices, and I do think Apple overcharges for the value they bri

This is exactly the wrong argument to make and a perfect example of why internet discussion is becoming harder. None of what you said matters. It does not matter how much money a company makes or if you personally think they're chargin

That's just working around an artificially and unnecessarily introduced constraint. There's little zero upside to doing it this way. It's not even more convenient since it incurs pretty heavy refactor costs for even small cha

Exposing your schema directly is an anti-pattern for good reasons. Don't do this. You want to be able to change a contract/interface/API independently of your persistence strategy.

Your examples are very reasonable, and somewhat at odds if what the author is advising I think. As you say the advice is vague but I suspect it's also just fundamentally flawed. There are very few real world scenarios where "just

I could not agree more. And that's coming from someone that converted to almost completely async/reactive/flux-y code. Reactive frameworks, almost by necessity, force developers to write less maintainable and readable code (o

I quite like this approach to system spec languages. It feels a bit more modern than the rather unwieldy TLA+. Can someone explain how a spec language can exist without sets as a first class datatype though? (admittedly I only had time for

A particularly low value contribution. The title is a copy of the article's title and pretty accurately captures its content. This is being difficult for the sake of being difficult.

Subscribe-on-update databases are, almost by definition, problematic to use at scale as a generic storage solution. The fundamental problem is that they do not solve many real world problems efficiently enough to warrant the significantly h

How is this different from Firebase RTDB? And perhaps more importantly, does it address the scalability and consistency issues associated with Firebase RTDB? Google introduced Firestore to Firebase specifically because RTDB has limited usab
