This can be a complex topic if you don’t set clear constraints on what constitutes a valid character in your URL or domain. For instance, in query parameters, spaces are encoded as '+'. But what if '+' is also a valid ch

Just an example. Why should complexity and over-engineering be considered best practices for a beginner? In the example I've given, it turns out that a for loop and an if conditional are the simplest and most efficient solutions. Addit

Well, nobody forces you to use the setters/getters pattern. For internal implementation, you could access everything directly. For example, Zig encourages this style of programming. In my experience in Rust, the use of getters and sett

Yeah, fore sure. I just share it as a fun read. I think they have been discussed in HN before.

This reminds me of the famous Visual Studio rant by Casey Muratori https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC-0tCy4P1U And the hundreds (if not thousands :D) of rants by Jon Blow saying how contemporary software performance sucks

Disagree with most points. This seems like another "hyper-productivity" driven blog post that is so common nowadays. If you don't grind 10h and have a clear career path, you are a failure. Couldn't disagree more. - Have

I agree, I feel so inspired with his streams. Focus and hard work, the key to good results. Add a clear vision and strategy, and you can also accomplish “success”. Congratulations to him and all the tinygrad/comma contributors.

I'm not keen on giving out my phone number and not looking to grab another SIM just for sign-ups. I can use a temporary email for a quick test, or even create a dedicated email for your service that includes two-factor authentication (

I'd say 99% of companies using Kubernetes can't really explain why they chose it over Nomad.

Thanks for answering. I like the ideas behind nix and flox, and I ack it's not an easy problem. I'll keep my eye on the project and check again in the future. GL.

I tested the product on both Ubuntu and MacOS, but had a frustrating experience in both cases. I prefer using Fish, but it's not supported. So, I uninstalled it and tried with Bash or Zsh instead. Even after completely removing Fish fr

At $job we have been using Apache Tika for years. Works but occasionally having bugs and weird collisions when working with billions of files. Happy to see new contributions in the space.

A *must* read. When I recommend this book to people I like to say: "it was talking about TDD, modularity, iterative development, and all your _cool things_ back in the 80s ...". Good programming ideas are nothing new.

The biggest win for Go is its approach based on composition rather than inheritance. There isn’t any “architect engineer” building cathedrals with interfaces and abstract classes. There’s no cult behind needing to follow DDD in an event-dri

99.999% of all SWE don’t know that algorithms and data structures evolve. How can you they choose the right library? That was my point.

While I agree with using libraries and not reinventing the wheel, we should not ignore the fact that the latest sorting algorithms introduced in Go, C, CPP, and Rust, if I’m not mistaken, were introduced between 2020 and 2022. New algorithm

Loved the concluding question. "So the question I want to part with is: have we advanced much in 30 years?" Every time I see all the bloated software we are putting out. Is it really worth it? One program that does it all vs many

one thing I’ve noticed is that many engineers, when they’re looking for a library on Github, they check the last commit time. They think that the more recent the last commit is, the better supported the library is. But what about an archive
