Hard disagree. I still consider this an example of a very well written email https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23961036 Well it certainly depends on the recipient, but I will of…

> I personally wouldn't care if it was AI-generated or not, as long as the content fit the latter category. It's pragmatic. Linus once said, the reason C++ is not allowed in the ke…

You knew exactly what you wanted, since you already built it. All decisions were already made, all tradeoffs reached. LLMs are definitely helpful, but try exploring something new w…

I am a Freelancer who has worked the last ten years on Embedded/Containerized Linux Systems. Last project (~5y) included evaluating and moving an existing product from Linux Networ…

This just shows how bad search engines have become. About 15 years ago you could type fully worded questions into Google and would be pointed to the exact sentence of a website tha…

> Agents, by making it easiest to write code, means there will be a lot more software. Economists would call this an instance of Jevons paradox. Each of us will write more programs…

I've written a fair amount of code for EmbeddedGo. Garbage Collector is not an issue if you avoid heap allocations in your main loop. But if you're CPU bound a goroutine might bloc…

The thing is, you'll typically switch to master to merge your own branch. This makes your own branch 'theirs', which is where the confusion comes from.

> - he's labeled GenAI as nuclear waste ( https://www.webpronews.com/rob-pike-labels-generative-ai-nuc ...) The whole article is an AI hallucination. It refers to the same "Christm…

The advent of coding agents killed Hacker News to some degree for me. Before I could always come here to get a pause from the hype, scandal and bait. Top comments were usually insi…

It's probably in their interest to have as many vibed codebases out there as possible, that no human would ever want to look at. Incentivising never-look-at-the-code is effectively…

At least try a different question with similar logic, to ensure this isn't patched into the context since it's going viral.

It's pretty good at dead code elimination. The size of Go binaries is in large part because of the runtime implementation. Remove a bunch of the runtime's features (profiling, stac…

You don't know what you want. That's why asking questions doesn't work. You think you know it, but only after you've spent some time iterating in the space of solutions, you'll see…

This is so ironic. Why would you add all these "features" to Go, if you're not interested in using the language at all?

There is also yaegi, a Go interpreter, which might be a better choice for small scripts than 'go run'. https://github.com/traefik/yaegi

Hey panos! I only had a short look at this for now, and it looks impressive! I'll have to dust off my Dreamcast and get this running. I looked at gccgo when porting the runtime to …

This would also benefit the Embedded Go project, which uses similar modifications to the runtime. https://embeddedgo.github.io/

Can you imagine their fork extending git with a feature which is incompatible to mainline git and then forcing user's to switch to their fork via github? I can, and it will give th…

I can provide another POV to that story. We checked in as a family of four, and we're assigned seats in four different rows, with a two and a four year old. Only when entering the …

I agree in general, but running git bisect on individual PR commits is just doing it wrong. There will always be commits that break stuff temporarily. Run git bisect only on the me…
