Thank you for your elaborate perspective. I initially thought that I'm just dumb, but I guess there are really alot of new things coming around lately, so I'm ok with some minor problems. Really hope to use GO more and that those

I know. The question is, why does it need a colon? It seems completely superfluous, from a syntax perspective.

I actually just started to use go on windows just to check it out. First impressions from a newbie: - Getting started with go and vscode is kinda bad right now. I installed go, set up GOPATH, installed all kinds of extensions in vscode and

I've been using SourceTree in Windows. But it's slow and I really hate that they put the staging area and the file tree into the same control. Heard of Fork [1] and switched in a heart beat. Works like a charm and looks great. Unf

There's a plugin [1] for that, but I haven't used it before. It creates plain old html files. [1] https://github.com/BarryMode/grav-plugin-blackhole

I tried Hugo before but came to the same conclusion. The simplicity draw me into trying it, but in my opinion the solution is not streamlined. That's why i finally settled for a Flat File CMS [1], in my case Grav [2]. Like with hugo yo

Thank you for putting project Vesta into perspective. As a layman in this field I can only observe, that topics regarding climate change and carbon sequestration appear alot more frequently here than a year before. I can only guess, that m

Would be interesting to know what you think of project Vesta [1]. Their approach involves weathering olivine on beaches to speed up the long-term carbon cycle. [1] https://projectvesta.org/

Thank you. Of all things I've ever read about react, your post is the first one who clearly explains WHY we need something like react and what fundamental problem it solves. A frontend designer's job is to manage the state of the

Recently the Go team decided not to add the try-keyword to the language. I'm not a Go programmer and was a bit stumped by the decision until I saw a talk of Rob Pike regarding the fundamental principle of Go to stick to simplicity firs

The search engine basically owns an index of all websites. I assume, that crawling websites and storing an index is a solved problem. Not trivial on that scale and expensive. But conceptually solved. What google does really well are two thi

Kids do not learn by taking their freedom away. They learn something by exploring their environment. Yes, you need to prevent abuse, but simply locking down their system is just an easy way out for the school admin. How would you feel about

Why not though? Exploring, customizing and extending your operating system should be part of the learning experience. We're on Hacker News, right? I agree that you need to forbid certain websites and add some content filtering on the n

Yeah sure. What bothers me though is that they know the country I live in and still give me the unlimited movies bait before signing up for Prime. You get so hyped and then they let you down. No harm done though. At least there's a tri

Software is one thing, but middle schools providing iPads to kids makes my blood boil. How on earth can you make kids work on one of the most closed down ecosystems there are? At least on windows I can install everything I want or even run

I'm so disappointed by Prime. The main reason I signed up for the trial were movies and TV shows. But it seems like 90% of the content is not available in my country (Switzerland) without buying or without proxying the stream through a

From the article: "But what about those nasty filter bubbles that trap people in narrow worlds of information? Making Google’s index public doesn’t solve that problem, but it shrinks it to nonthreatening proportions. At the moment, it’

There are many partners which are not simple resellers. Dev shops and integration businesses which do a lot of customer oriented work, which Microsoft itself could never reliably take over. Those partners profit from the MPN licenses by usi

This is so strange to observe from the outside. The statements of Gavriella Schuster, when that whole debacle started, provided some insight into the partner program: "We can't afford to run every single partner's organisatio

Your best bet would be to hit the water like a needle because you can't reduce the vertical velocity in any meaningful way without a wingsuit. The chance is high that you'll break an arm or leg and lose orientation underwater, so

1) Regarding WebRender: Maybe I'm a bit out of the loop, but aren't they working on Servo? It seems, WebRender is a Gecko thing. I'm confused. 2) I'm also confused about the state of Gecko Embedding. As far as I know man

Yeah C++ function try blocks are really ugly. I guess just too many people used and misused exceptions in C++ or Java. Moreover there was a time where exceptions had a bad reputation because of performance. Working with different kinds of p

I'm so with you. Exception handling is an awesome tool. I love the way C# offers you different constructs like try/catch/finally, exception pattern matching or usings, which automatically clean up objects. While writing servi

It's astounding what mankind was able to achieve. Every invention is an ingenious marvel when you look at it in an isolated manner. But you could argue that each invention was based on previous attempts, combined, refined, either throu

Thanks for the book recommendation. We humans are really fascinating machines, continuously fed with a huge stream of data which we learn to filter and analyze. It takes time to accumulate the data and refine our pattern matching until we s

So at what point in a life of a human does general intelligence, or common sense, develop? Watching a baby do things feels like watching a robot trying to perform a task for the very first time. It seems like pattern matching overall with a
