I'm not sure I'd take design advice from someone who thought attr.ib and attr.s were a good idea. On the other hand he points out that DDD is a vacuous cult, which is true.

I think that to understand the diversity of opinions, we have to recognize a few different categories of users: Category 1: people who don't like to admit that anything trendy can …

>> Do you have a reference where I can learn about this? > I don't really understand what you're asking for. That comes across as rude and condescending; please don't communicate l…

To be fair the Alacritty author is also really abrasive and unsympathetic to users.

No escape from the mass mind rape Play it again Jack and then rewind the tape And then play it again and again and again Until your mind is locked in Believin' all the lies that th…

This is literally the least interesting thread I have ever seen on HN. Man complains about other people doing thing related to his hobby.

One thing that bothers me is when people refer to languages like Go and Rust as "not object-oriented". Of course they are object oriented; Go and Rust programs consist of struct de…

OK. For reference, I was an Emacs user for 20 years, and participated heavily in emacs extension development. I used to think like you early on. But, especially if you use language…

Can you give more details regarding what IDE features you have in mind? I agree that java/c# people not knowing how to use the command line is bad (because they only know how to cl…

I can't read the news because it's so upsetting to watch the world allow a naked genocide, or discuss it with my family. The 7 Nov terrorist attack was disgusting, and since then I…

I often find myself wanting a way to easily see which variables are local to a closure body versus those that are captured. (I use VSCode in case anyone knows a way to do it in any…

Pick carefully.

This article is missing a "What are signals" section. And yes, this does not do the job: > Within JS frameworks and libraries, there has been a large amount of experimentation acro…

Agreed. It's annoyingly hard to come across though for me, and for most people I'd imagine.

You sound really full of yourself and entitled. A job should last several years, why not spend half a day applying? You don't sound like you really want a new job anyway, but maybe…

You don't have to be an expert; you should very rarely be using regexes so complex that you can't understand them.

Small thing but postgres should deprecate the names it uses for the CLI commands like "adduser" "createuser" etc; they should have a prefix like "pg-adduser" or more modern, be sub…

I have literally no idea why people care so much about typing latency. If you type that fast, I suggest that you seriously consider finding a more intellectually challenging task.

Just saying something isn't open source isn't a valid criticism, and it's not an interesting contribution to HN. You could say the same about any software at all that's not open so…

It can go too far. Too many section headings and it becomes unreadable, like an undergraduate textbook where you're constantly being distracted by sections and boxes.

People who don't like significant whitespace are just people who don't use a proper text editor / IDE. A lot of them think you have to manually insert the whitespace. It's the same…
