UDP is a spec. TCP is a spec. HTTP 1..3 is a spec. There are only a few ways to implement it.

Java has servlets and Spring. Go has net/http. Ruby has Rails. Python has Django and Flask. C++ has ASIO and gRPC. Rust belongs with the above but it has...checks notes...actix-web which was run by one guy who ragequit and apparently n

So many weird job titles/euphemisms for programmers. Engineer, Architect, Developer, Scientist. How about none of them. You're a programmer. You're not building bridges.

You need a standard web/networking framework. Built in to the standard library, like in Golang. That will speed up adoption. Rust's competitor is C++. C++'s biggest weakness is build tooling, which Rust is demonstrably better

One time payment. If they were getting $2900 every month, it would be a different story entirely (probably a worse one). Most of that money is going to living expenses. During recessions, people reel back in their spending, even if they are

I really got to get around to compiling one of those Android forks with telemetry turned off. As much as people like to criticize G, at least they released the code. The world would be a much worse place if both members of the phone duopoly

The FreeBSD answer to Docker is to not use it. Just go back to the old way of running services on bare metal or VMs. It's not a bad idea, but other people who worship refinement and perfection will get mad at you for it.

I have dabbled in BSDs (mainly OpenBSD) but can't stick with any of them because Docker doesn't work without virtualizing Linux. If I have to have a separate setup for "real work" versus hobby work, then it's a non-

If you want me to work on it for free, a mechanism already exists for this. It's called open source. Put the codebase on Github or wherever and I'll contribute.

The Yellow Pages used to do the same thing before the internet. There is always money in being a monopoly of something. The problem for Yelp (and really, most other platform companies) is they are beholden to G, the mother of all monopolies

Are there any widely analyzed implementations that I can use today? Got any links? I'm interested, but I don't think I'd understand without seeing code.

The real answer is that it's a publicly traded "tech" company that has to maintain a charade of growth. They can either give their profits back to shareholders (violating the growth charade) or they can hire more people and h

Clearly they were doing nothing useful, because despite them being laid off, I can still open my Yelp app right now and browse around just fine. Most office jobs are "adult daycare", even in tech (blasphemy, I know).

Tech follows a power law. Putting more work into something doesn't necessarily make it better. It could just be a bad idea no matter what. So failing fast is a good thing.

Signatures being meaningful is a downright American tradition. The country was founded based on signatures. It is never going away. Crytographic protocols can be added to verify signing, but until every civilian practices perfect opsec (nev

I have to do this quite often. I end up using a scanned image of my signature with Gaussian noise added in Photoshop. You can add Gaussian monocromatic noise to the whole page (and rotate it slightly, for good measure) to make it look like

The latter. Lisp is too academic for anyone to care to do it. Compilers need to be dogfooded, i.e., the people who work on it also write non-compiler programs with the compiler. TypeScript and Emscripten are mature because they are used to

More like Lisp stuff gets guaranteed upvotes and visibility. HN does a lot of Lisp service. This is Paul Graham's site after all.

Humans never did anything either for approximately 100% of history. Newton could have lived a caveman's life if his top priority was basic survival, regardless of the quality of his hardware.

They had bigger brains. In all the studies of humanoid fossils, there's a clear relationship between brain size and ability to make tools etc. (which is presumably caused by intelligence). It would be very strange that this is the sole

Not only were they smarter than we give them credit for, they were smarter than modern humans. There's nothing about intelligence that guarantees not becoming extinct.
