The world that PHP grew up in has changed. The language and community have matured, and in the process PHP has lost most of its competitive advantage: low barrier to entry. It used…

I find it bizarre that urlscan.io displays recent scans from paying customers. I assume GitHub is large enough that they have to pay, anyway. If they're not, who is?

I agree logging is a bit of a code smell, but I prefer Mark Seemann's take: https://blog.ploeh.dk/2020/03/23/repeatable-execution/ TL;DR: Log impure actions. If you minimize and gr…

Honest question: what science? Any good papers you could recommend? After a quick search it seems that NPS originated in a Harvard Business Review article, which I don't consider a…

I live in Auckland and the tech scene has really been booming in the last year or two. Obviously it's no SF bay area, and there are now companies struggling in the current economic…

This is pretty interesting and useful. Now where are the details about how to get ElasticSearch to behave this way? :)

The problem is that there actually are patents covering GraphQL. So anybody who writes an alternative GraphQL server implementation is potentially infringing upon those patents. Th…

I normally hate it when people immediately trot out the old "premature optimization" quote, but it really applies here. Please don't go around naming all your returns just because …

Could you please link to some docs for the cached flag you mentioned? I can't find anything about it.

I think calling it a "mess" is hyperbole, but yes, it's true that it has shortcomings and may be deprecated and replaced.

The Go library's standard AST package[1] similarly stores comments and whitespace information. It has to, since it's used by gofmt, and you wouldn't be very happy you lost comments…

SEEKING WORK - Auckland, New Zealand or remote I'm Evan Shaw. I have been writing high performance, scalable backends and RESTful APIs in Go (Golang) for the last five years. I als…

One non-obvious downside is that the Go 1 compatibility guarantee doesn't apply to struct literals that don't use field names. (I suspect you're aware of this, but other readers mi…

> Suggestion that threads are way better than other asynchronous implementations. I don't think that's true. The author mentions several languages that use different solutions: * J…

If you're agreeing not to sue, then the company can use any criteria they like to hire or not hire you and there are zero consequences. Imagine you check the box, you don't get the…

There has been recent talk of it. See here for a link and (brief) HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8149810

Maybe something like "Do you have more older siblings than younger siblings?" would work. One twin has to be born before the other. That question has some problems, but I feel like…

I'm pretty sure it's the other way around: he wouldn't be launching a cruise deal aggregator site if he weren't so gung ho about working on cruise ships. http://tynan.com/cruiseshe…

Dmitry Vyukov keeps a great resource for learning about lock-free algorithms (and other interesting things) here: http://www.1024cores.net/home/lock-free-algorithms/introduct...

New Zealand offers a similar Visa, but you'll be better off in Australia if you want to make money.

> Someone needs to nuke this site from orbit and build a new debugger from scratch, and provide an library-style API that IDEs can use to inspect executables in rich and subtle way…
