I wonder if anyone has tried using this with Zig (or Rust) yet? I think it'd be quite cool to have this as an out-of-the-box option one can just flip

If you're using Postgres Trigram indexes at larger scales, I might suggest reading over just the conclusions at the end of my article here: https://devlog.hexops.com/2021/postgres-regex-search-over-10... e.g. I di

I didn't mean it in a derogatory way. I was just trying to say it in even more plain terms - because this whole thread was full of people who seemingly have no idea about how AVs are being approached today and are, as is usual for HN,

SQLite's FTS5 also has experimental support for trigram indexing[0], which is quite nice for having substring matches instead of just whole-token matches with LIKE and GLOB syntax. No support yet for regexp searches over trigram indexe

And being disguised as PCI driver doesn't help.. If it was called "AMD Game Optimizer" software, it'd be OK I think.

Downloading a tarball and running ./configure from it (pretty dang common) also does not have the changes checked into version control, nor the hash verified. Same is true of `npm install`, deb/rpm/etc packages, etc: you don&

I have heard complaints where I work that less-technical foks find the UI unpleasant/confusing. I think it is due to a combination of the keyboard shortcuts being front-and-center and the threading model seeming "complex" (re

I think once Zulip gets a "guest mode", it will be a huge boon in its adoption for OSS communities. I love Zulip!

I have a hunch that when we (the public) talk about humility in software development, we really mean humility _in the act of writing code_ but not strictly in the rest of the process. Do the programmers that people look up to as role models

Samsung sells "Commercial signage displays" to people, $1k for a 65" display. e.g. the Samsung QB65R on Amazon So yeah it's like $100-200 more expensive, but hardly seems.. unapproachable?

Very cool velut! I'm super excited to see this type of documentation roll out to more languages, I quite firmly believe this is a great boon to developer productivity in general. I'm glad to see I am not the only one :) I actually

saurik's reply to your comment feels to me like the epitome of the seasoned C/C++ developer _who is able and willing_ to put up with the tooling setup pains that make C/C++ a non-starter to the "average" developer t

You could perhaps just have the Go compiler generate the assembler for your code: go tool compile -S file.go > file_amd64.s Then you could verify it doesn't change over time, and choose to begin maintaining by hand if it makes sense

So with this, Flutter, and others it seems there is a drive to unify Web/Desktop/Mobile development (the mythical "truly-cross-platform UI") If I understand the code samples here correctly, Compose for Web enables someon

You weren't kidding, 13% of their staff (30 people) and also literally at the end of April.[1] Guess that makes the corporate double-speak in this video even more damning. [1] https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/2

That's fair. I'm willing to bet that this video does more financial harm to them than anything else, especially at just 26k views - but your argument is fair.

Look, I'll be the first one to say there is a lot of corporate double-speak in this and the guy has a habit of rambling. I don't like the content of the video. But I am surprised to see so many people saying a YouTube video is a b

iPhones and iPads are becoming more tinkerable because Apple aims to ultimately merge MacOS and iOS in my opinion. Once that happens, there will be more security and a more unified platform to develop on - no doubt - but I will be shocked i

Your argument implies that "I don't know what is in front of me" can just be used as a signal to "stop the car", but that still isn't OK (slamming on the breaks on a freeway because a trailer has someone's

AI/neural nets are good at detecting patterns, but only marginally so. Humans have such incredible pattern recognition that we have built-in fear mechanics for when things are _not_ a pattern we recognize. What percentage of the time d
