it's already littered with bots, so it's not fun for a human to go there.

The amount of people writing books on subjects as a way of learning something new, is too high. I’ve seen so much trash these days. Especially game design or programming books.

It is often best to present a problem or a definition in a simplified way. After grasping the basics, we can extend or go into more depth. Otherwise, students can’t see the forest …

This is not hypothetical, as we’ve lived through this before with Internet Explorer. The web didn’t get better from that. Open source is a big plus now of course, but it’s still ba…

I would like to see the performance differences between the original and obfuscated. Most of the compiler optimizations are being made impossible by removing static access. Plus, a…

I need proof first. Seen too many apps call home that say they don’t.

The point is that an architect who doesn't 'code' (read: doesn't know how the practical implementation is done) doesn't know what he is designing. It's too abstract. A structural a…

The problem with this approach is that it might be easier to build a monolith, maintaining it and the ops side of it is far more complex.

All the time.

So you're calling (f.e.) Amazon a shack?

Sometimes the answer to the wrong question helps you further down the wrong path.

That's nice! Agile to the max!

Buildings are still built using stones, wood, cement. That doesn't change much. In my experience as a DevOps transformation expert, 'Architects' are mostly old devs that have been …

Man, it seems like you totally lost connection with technology. There is no value in an architect who doesn’t code (none, if you think otherwise you’ve worked too long in enterpris…

you can just put a wpa_supplicant.conf file on the USB stick partition and it will automatically connect to your wifi[1]. This seems like an overengineered approach that is far mor…

Uh yeah.. cool? What makes it relevant for HN?

But most of these are 16-bit...

They do, but psychologically they design the shops so that you get lost and see a lot of 'impulse-buy' sensitive items before you even get to the place you want to be.

How many years did SpaceX do over that modern rocket? How many years did NASA do to get to said modern rocket? I'd say he's on a pretty good roll.

From your timesheet I see that there are more people taking more than 20 days off, than not. This seems to contradict your premise..?

Except busybox allows execution of external binaries. And BB is much (MUCH) more complete. Let that sink in.

This is just a very simple frontend to this library: https://github.com/holzschu/ios_system That library is just a simple implementation of some basic commands. It does not do any …

What is a pipeline problem? Never heard of it before.

Try to port it to Android next, great fun! You’ll appreciate iOS more after that ;-)
