Synthetics are the worst on airplane and they smell quickly. Yea they dry fast but you have to wash them daily.

My favorite travel hack: Wool shirts and wool socks. They need washing less often so you pack less clothing. And, showering with hand-sanitizer on arm pits. https://www.woolly.clothing/collections/190-gsm-shirts/pr

It matches the WakaTime results (not a survey, just stats on IDE usage when WakaTime plugin is installed). https://wakatime.com/a-look-back-at-2020 Change the url to 2021 to see the new results after midnight Jan 1 2021.

Good, now we just need the ability to declare function parameters and return values non-nullable (Forbid passing nil into a function, and declare a function will never return nil). That would get rid of the "panic: runtime error: inval

Tell HN: Memcached and Redis Considered Harmful

Stop using RAM for caching, SSDs are just as fast now with LevelDB/RocksDB and can store a magnitude more data. Look into SSDB [1] instead of Memcached. I know it's Redis, but it's basically the same as Memcached if you only

I really tried to use PyInstaller and Nuitka to deploy a Python command line [1] to Windows, Mac, and Linux users. We couldn't get around some system dependencies like OpenSSL needing to be available and not broken on user machines. We

The Mailgun support also says DMARC records prevent this, when the reject policy is set to deny.

Mailgun was acquired, which sometimes has a side-effect of product quality decreasing. I wish Cloudflare would launch an email API service, seems a good fit for them.

I wish Cloudflare provided an outgoing email API service. Seems like a good fit for their customers, and I bet they would take security more seriously than Mailgun.

Van Moof is my favorite, because bikes are stolen a lot where I live and Van Moof comes with an alarm and GPS.

Because the way you scale up a Python web app is by adding more servers, and ORMs like SQLAlchemy can't share(aka pool) connections across processes let alone servers. Scaling a web app means thousands of open connections to Postgres,

I think loading indicators fall into two categories: 1. full page 2. unobtrusive Those 1px progress bars are unobtrusive because you can partially render data you've already received while still conveying that more data is loading. To

I edited my comment, since 70% tax rate is actually possible depending on the tax rate of the country you're living and whether they have a tax treaty with the US or not.

Yes! Banks in Germany would flatly say "we can't help you" when I pulled out my US passport. The only one I could get was Number26, which is technically only an online bank account.

As a US citizen, being taxed while living abroad can dangerously trigger double taxation. Imagine being taxed 70% of your income... scary! I've been researching ways to live abroad without being double-taxed, and here's some resou

I was only talking about pointers and interfaces, not primitive types. Yes A and B can't be nil, but I was only talking about C. Pointers (C) are what cause crashes in Go programs when using them without checking if they're nil fi

Yea, I meant the ability to declare functions that only accept non-nullable args. For ex: You have a chain of function calls, A -> B -> C -> D, where B, C, and D only accept a non-nullable arg then you can save the mental load of c

Like Swift, how once you check if a pointer (not integers, strings, and non-nullables) is null, the compiler knows from that point on the variable cannot be null.

by welder 5y ago
I don't agree, especially on the second point. Having strings default to empty instead of nil is a feature not a flaw. What Go actually needs: Nil-Safe Types! [1] Programmers can work around verbose error handling(3) and lack of enums(
