Sorry for nitpicking but the logical inverse of this statement is the stronger and more appropriate version: If some app does not respond in 10ms or less, it is not interactive.

Another comment already explains that this is regular method overriding in Python. Surely, some languages call user-defined operators 'Operator overloading' (e.g. C#) but the mecha…

Take a look at https://contextgeneric.dev , it's as close as one can get to solving this issue without modifying rustc.

I think that it's a generic programming problem: pointers are easier because the type of the pointee is easy to get (a deref) and also its location (memory) but with index-based ha…

Off topic, but Notion is a perfect example of how badly you can abuse web standards. This webpage, which is a document with some markup and links (the very thing the web was made f…

Not to disagree with you, but even C++ is going through great efforts to improve compile-times through C++20 modules and C++23 standard library modules (import std;). Although no c…

Makes you wonder, how many webpages are dependant on such services. The Web has always been brittle, but it's a little sad seeing a website not able to survive ~50k users on its fi…

Not so much, >>> s="1"+"0"*4300 >>> json.loads(s) ... ValueError: Exceeds the limit (4300 digits) for integer string conversion: value has 4301 digits; use sys.set_int_max_str_digi…

It has been kind of made into a movie! The Heptapods [0] in Arrival (2016) written script is a circular shape with each subsection of the shape conveying a different meaning ultima…

I'm not quiet sure why a non-technical person would be engaging in a technical matter such as compiling LLVM, they say they are involved with some Arch Linux derivative but again t…

Same here, the title even says "TypeScript" not "Typescript" but whatever. I think what's somehow interesting about this is in the footer of the page: Autonomously crafted in 15m 4…

Just sharing this project [0] I've worked on a while ago, it's not that interesting but I was proud of making it. It has a CLI and a GUI that is done with Dear ImGui and includes a…

I disagree, many businesses that put their software in maintenance mode (fix/upgrade on breakage) will be losing money in the long run. Consider a hospital, many statistics can be …

Excel can also send mail through VBA scripts, thus satisfying Zawinski's Law[1]. [1] http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/Z/Zawinskis-Law.html

Reminds me of Linus' comments[1][2] on pull requests in the kernel's GitHub mirror. The fact that you can't disable pull requests give the impression that it's mandatory to allow a…

Funnily enough, even the "dark mode toggle" icon in the blog is not aligned correctly with the navbar text. https://imgur.com/a/1xSCMWb

IMO separation of interface and implementation is one of the "good" things about C/C++ (I used to be confused about it when starting out), it gives you a good overview of a piece o…

Sorry, I know the post has fell off the Show HN page but for historical purposes I thought junior meant a first-year studnet (How isn't it?!!). I'm actually a freshman, this is my …

Hello HN, I'm Fares A. Bakhit a junior CS student at Cairo University and I'm happy to announce my latest project, "Ayin" is an open-source photo editing software available on Wind…

Amazing to see RustPython being used in the wild. I wonder why they are using it. Is it easier to sandbox? smaller memory footprint than CPytohn and PyPy? just because it's cool?
