Urbit choosing to artificially limit their "address space" with an NFT sale was a bit of a gut punch tbh and I don't see how this will work out positively for the project in the long run.

I have had a similar intuition from when trying out testcontainers some years ago. I do not know how the project has developed but at the time I tried it it felt very orthogonal or even incompabtible to more complex (as in multi language mo

I love how much HD25 stuff that site has. Brilliant piece of kit from Sennheiser, especially when looking at both sound quality and tinkerability.

Yeah, new things will look weird until culturally appropriated. Two things that seem to differentiate AR/VR stuff from previous tech 1. They are more "worn" than "used" 2. They conceal your face while wearing So may

I've thought about this a couple of times. In a perfect world, you want to be able to safely ~hack~investigate every part of your car, including the logic that controls its servos, hydraulics, propulsion, etc. So the whole OS and contr

I think the problems with IP rights startend when the law allowed companies to be treated as persons, from there on it was just downhill. Instead of protecting the inventor we started weaponising IP rights.

This is awesome, I couldn't identify from the readme how you tell it what to save and was wondering whether this could be driven by a Browser add-on/extension?

Im a bit surprised that this (very C++ biased) post gets such traction on hacker news. Isn't this a solved problem viz moving side effects like IO (getting the time) out of the logic parts and just unit/property testing those? Am

Nothing wrong about keeping a monolith if it doesn't get in the way. At my clients, the typical case is that the "product" consist of an assembly of services where some have been written and some bought so being able to span

Most stdlibs provide ways to work with Unix time, I don't think there isuch room for significant issues here.

I have never heard of epoch time "floating" any links?

by theK 3y ago
The good thing about ints is that typically the stdlibs themselves deliver quite good tooling to work with Unix timestamps so in most cases you don't really use a library for the timestamps themselves.

Fair point, types should be documented, but them again that's hardly a requirement nowadays, right?

Correct, neither iso strings mor numbers can get you out of this dilema. While ISO uses UTC offset and time zone interchangeably it actually is only defined over offsets, not locations. I've had this problem discussed before. Typically
