The ideas are similar, but transducers all greater flexibility and composability and testability. The pure idea of "pipelines" isn't anything new, though, as you pointed out. When you have a Unix pipeline, let's say &quo

EDI never became a thing. One of the greatest selling points of HTML/XML/JSON is that they are human-readable. Even if gzip compressed, most tools will decompress automatically and show you the raw text. So the tooling nor libra

I know HN will have the answers if no one else will: Anyone have links to good studies (or even RCTs) about flossing, different kinds of toothpaste, etc.? I don't wanna open up the whole fluoride debate, but it seems _stannous_ fluorid

Was wondering if you knew any RCTs or solid studies...

Here's some good news: there's a non-plastic, non-forever-chemical, really-compostable plastic straw on the market! https://www.phadeproducts.com/# https://www.amazon.com/stores/phade/pa

I feel this issue is over exaggerated. The study at EWG says that toxic chemicals are released in Teflon pans at 464 deg (C or F? article doesn't say), versus 680 deg for non-Teflon. I don't think 99% of people ever get their co

Sounds great, and you have lots of nice documentation on the page, but could you provide a TLDR? There's a lot of competition in this area: GRPC, Cap'n'proto (was posted on HN a day or two ago), NATS, etc. I'm also havi

If it's heavily used inside Bloomberg, that's good enough for me! BTW, the original Comdb2 paper from 2016 is good [0]. It has features that even today seem awesome. It sounds like a really nice distributed MySQL/PostgreSQL

Lombok does kind of hacky things with Java byte code and classloaders. Definition of "undefined behavior" of JDK. The ideas, however, are solid. They are just implemented better in other frameworks such as https://immu

How's sorbet? We're looking into it and the webpage looks great, but how's actual usage?

Bloomberg has some interesting code! https://github.com/orgs/bloomberg/repositories Has anyone used comdb2? It seems like an awesome DB that doesn't seem to get the level of love it should.

These types of comparisons aren't "fair". As in most fields of engineering, programming languages/databases/etc. are about tradeoffs, and benchmarks aren't even more tricky. From the blog: > If you don’t ha

First instinct is: Duh! Of course going from a verbose text format like JSON to _any_ kind of binary format will lead to decreased everything. Second instinct was: Wait, were they using HTTP/2, HTTP/3? What JSON parser were they

Using the SFTP KIO backend was awesome. Was super impressed being able to copy/paste files between tabs in Konqueror, with both tabs being SFTP servers! FUSE is still catching up. I think Konqueror also supported man:// URL

Like others have said, for debugging, although the proper-but-rarely-done solution is to use PID namespaces to attach another container containing the shell, rather than including it in the raw Docker image.

For those more familiar with Java, this looks like this is very similar to Java's try-with-resources: static String readFirstLineFromFile(String path) throws IOException { try (FileReader fr = new FileReader(path); B

It's a matter of comfort. I was doing imperative programming for years, and more functional now. You've got for loops, list comprehensions, newer dict comprehensions, map/filter, generators, etc. in Python. Python programmers

Tangential, but can someone explain the dichotomy of man pages vs info pages? Are they competitors, complements? Seems like many tools, like find, have sections for both. Seems like man pages get all the love. Google searches often resul

The "original billion dollar mistake" is lack of runtime bounds checking (in the creator's words), not the idea of a null/nil/undefined generally.

Yeah, poor performance and memory usage. In the Java world, thread locals are java.lang.ThreadLocal, basically a hashmap from thread to variable. Using a ThreadLocal is (usually) a code smell. It's optimized / supposed to be use
