Was curious how they get such performance with a FUSE based design. It seems that they sort of cheat, FUSE is used to manage metadata but to get high performance you have to link in the C++ client library and do all your reads and writes t

A big fuck you to rssDaemon on Android which came out with a 3.x to 4.0 update that nuked all my feeds (this was a few years ago. I switched to Feedly and it's been great.

I don't think this has been discussed on Hacker News before, but I wonder if people have any opinions about Arvados?

I've driven between Boston and Montreal in a 2018 Prius Prime and got something like 60 mpg despite a large part of the trip being through the mountains of Vermont. Hybrids are a fantastic technology that, in a rational world, should

"Manager" is a broad category, but in my case I am deeply involved in product design and technical architecture (with lots of input from my team) so I find that being able to plan a feature together, hand if off to one of my devel

Yes, my recollection of the books is that it isn't about the need to keep consuming resources, it is about the premise that it is impossible to judge if another civilization is hostile or going to turn hostile If your civilization can

Been checking the #roblox hashtag on Twitter and the two main themes are addicts going through withdrawal and devs saying how they wouldn't have their llama appreciation fan site be down this long let alone your core business.

There seem to be some misunderstanding here. CWL is intended for stringing together other programs. It is useful for reproducibility in that it attempts to provide a fairly specific description of the runtime environment needed to execute

I use RssDaemon on Android, which had been around forever (8-9 years maybe?) is apparently so dead that the author just released a new version with major UI update. My most used been apps on my phone are RssDaemon and Twitter. I read Hacke

I was really hoping this would be structured as a set of assertions which would then be used to generate answers in response to queries.

The Pacifica plug-in hybrid is a fantastic minivan that can go up to 30 miles all electric before needing to engage the ICE, and in hybrid mode it still gets significantly better milage than a conventional ICE minivan.

I don't know if I can change your mind, or if anyone else is reading this thread, but CWL was designed to solve a particular set of problems, if you don't have those problems, you might not need it, but it doesn't mean those

CWL is a declarative/functional language for describing how to execute command line tools (staging input files, mapping arguments, collecting outputs) and how to connect the outputs of one tool to the inputs of the next. It is HPC and

Adding conditional execution to the dataflow graph is something being worked on for the next version of CWL.

This is my take as well. The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics to describe physics suggests it is more fundamental than something our monkey brains came up with. If aliens are operating with the same physics, they are going to cre

Arguably the most important purpose of code review is to ensure the code is maintainable, i.e. the next person to look at it can figure it out. Having standards like naming/formatting conventions and test coverage should exist to supp

One thing that can be really hard is when someone turns in a lousy piece of code and you end up basically telling them how to rewrite it line by line in the review because they don't know how to do it right. These kinds of reviews nee

On our team we review feature branches. When the developer thinks it is ready they have an assigned reviewer. The reviewer makes comments, the developer responds, and they go back and forth until it gets to LGTM. My general rule is that

Pinning the blame on python is misplaced. The real problem is that C dependency management is pure hell, and that makes building native modules for scripting languages (like, say, database drivers) horrible. Dockerfiles are great for pro
