    Underserved how? What software do they use that could be improved?

    Ask HN: Niches Underserved by Programmers?

    I'm thinking about starting a company that does programming work for areas of society that normally don't have the best software to work with. I've read stories of code in science …

    It is a purely ideological fork. Some people really didn't like that the Godot twitter account was posting explicitly leftist games (gamedevs with leftist politics? what a shock.) …

    Ask HN: Can anyone recommend a Windows Systems programming book?

    There's a hundred of these and I want something well-written. I'm primarily using Nim but a C/C++ book wouldn't hurt. Ideally it would have lots of exercises.

    I'm not. Texting as a form does not lend itself to the kind of high thought letterwriting does.

    I mean, that was kind of the idea behind the JVM, wasn't it? It's not a terrible idea.

    What editor are you using to do this? I assume it's vim or emacs.

    For certain games it's still borked. Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines is among my favorites and it's unplayable.

    Not the OP, but it's extremely rude and unprofessional. Nitpicking a guy's college transcripts from 20 years ago? Come the fuck on. His experience and skills should have been enoug…

    The article you post just says some gen z were able to take advantage of low mortgage rates in 2020. And in cheaper parts of the country. It doesn't mean anything for the overall s…

    No, it doesn't. It just sends 1 ECHO_REQUEST packet. If this was sarcasm I could not detect it

    I have no idea why that isn't standard practice in every codebase. I should be able to figure out your code without having to ask, or dig through issues or commit messages. Just te…

    Part of the fun is figuring it out yourself. It can feel oppressive at times, but I personally really enjoyed it.

    Ask HN: Did Anyone Else Here Simply Not Do Well at School?

    It may interest you to know that Noodler's, as far as I know, is a one man operation. It's literally one guy making ink in his shed.

    That's not the author of the post. That's a scientist the the post is about.

    Also don't see how it's possible. EEE relies on permissive licensing, which lets you make a better, proprietary version that everybody switches to. Mastodon is AGPL. I suppose if M…

    Helix uses ropes for strings. Supposedly it's well suited to lots of little edits. I've been meaning to dive into the code, but all the issues marked 'good first issue' already hav…
