    I wish Roclang well but (as a regular listener to Feldman's podcast) I don't think we can draw many conclusions from this switch other than "Feldman has lots of opinions on lots of…

    I imagine it's a difficult time to be a Zig developer. In the near term, Bun choosing to switch from Zig to Rust specifically to fix all the memory errors seems to have done the Zi…

    Thank you for actually reading the article. I knew I would get many responses parroting the official narrative because that's what we're being spoonfed, but I'm glad some people ar…

    This story has been horribly misreported in the mainstream media. Suffice to say that the AI gaff was the very thinnest pretence for a politically motivated firing. The true reason…

    I thought it was very funny that a military parade has sponsors. But there is no hypocrisy here, from Coinbase's point of view. They would argue that "A military parade isn't polit…

    It's obviously going to be much much more difficult to steal $450K from an actual bank account and get clean away - you're going to need a lot more proof of identity than a google …

    You're being downvoted but as a lefty European tech worker this rings true. I come to HN for interesting technical content (obviously) but I find the politics of the site by turns …

    Kind've interesting that the author is now a big Zig advocate. Presumably he likes Zig for the same reason he likes Go and dislikes Rust - because Worse is Better. I love Rust and …

    Lots of people seem surprised that the new government apparently have no desire to improve the dire state of the UK. But that was never on the cards and the idea that they might ha…

    What has C# got to do with... anything in this article?

    `just` is great and I use it all the time. * All commands in one place, view them all with `just --list` * Stupid-simple format * Small standalone binary * Configurable (with argum…

    Been a number of examples of cryptobros funding unrelated projects for the positive PR. Is there a word for it yet? 'FOSSwashing'?

    I rent an ex-coucil house in SE London. It takes around 45 minutes to get into the centre. The local drug-dealers hang out next to the house, there is graffiti on the walls, and it…

    'goroutines' are just threads, that happen to be scheduled in userspace. They are not coroutines - they don't work the same way and don't have the same features. Pretty much nothin…
