I'm surprised there was no mention of implementing Lua's coroutines via Go's goroutines.

I get what you're saying, though it is nuanced. For example, no insurance company in its right mind would insure a home in San Francisco against earthquake damage if the home isn't actually built to code in terms of its ability to

My notetaking has devolved in much the same way. Nowadays I pretty much just have one big "Work" note, and then occasional smaller temporary notes for specific things (planning a trip, shopping list, etc). PKM can often turn into

I would argue that the proliferation of frontend frameworks is evidence is that we -don't- know what the optimal abstraction is for building frontend applications. We're all still trying to figure that out. Just look at what happe

Typical programming style in Common Lisp is procedural, not functional. The CL spec doesn't guarantee tail-call elimination, and most CL implementations don't guarantee it either (it could be on or off depending on the current opt

This is just another soft layoff. Amazon has been aggressively reducing headcount for several years now. First they did multiple rounds of actual layoffs, then they ended remote work, and now you have to relocate to live near a hub office.

Probably not. NPM has its problems but Python packaging has always been significantly messier (partly because, Python is much older than Node and, indeed, much older than the very concept of resolving dependencies over the internet).

If they refuse to give you more time (they often will, if you demand it) then just accept the offer and keep interviewing during the interim before your start date.

36/36 though two of the eight were lucky wild guesses. I would be interested in a game like this where you order all 8 events and then get scored (similar to wordle). And then try again to put them in the right order, fewest attempts s

Not feasible. What happens if the actual data you're trying to process happens to contain a sequence of bytes which could be interpreted as an escape sequence? Now you've ruined the user's data by modifying it.

On first seeing this I wasn't sure what analogy the author was trying to make. After reading the article my best guess is that they are simply trying to say that, writing an allocator is easier than it seems on the surface. Though it&#

What legal standing would they even have, if the game were simply named something different from "Balatro"? Game mechanics aren't copyrightable, and the game assets are literally just playing cards...

Similar to the old saying "if it works, it's not AI", we could also say "if it works, it's not robotics" Once a physical process X becomes automated in a reliable and efficient way, we no longer consider it a r

I mostly see non-Rust languages' communities on the defensive on HackerNews, not the other way around. If you open any thread related to Zig or Odin or C++ you can usually ctrl-F "Rust" and find someone having an argument abo

It was only upon reading this comment that I even realized the initial letter is text. At first glance I assumed it was just an inline-block image.

I understand the concept that objects like letters are no longer used very much. My question is, what icon do you use instead of a letter icon, and what tangible benefit does it bring, given that people are already used to letter icons, and
