I can't believe this is what hackernews has become. This kind of stuff is at the top.

I recall having to maintain an integration to some obscure SOAP API that ate and spit out XML with strict schemas and while I can't remember much about it, I think the integration …

Blood tests can't measure concentrations in other tissues.

It's just an API that utilizes DNS, not that interesting imo.

I'd like to have high speed railways in my country, not some decades long political conversion project. If we need railways that can go across the borders of our neighboring countr…

You can run multiple linux distros on linux just fine via KVM/QEMU, there is nothing special WSL offers except that it is a must if you're doomed to use windows.

I think CMake is the perfect balance. You need to write few lines and think about few things before adding a dependency, but usually nothing too crazy. It might not work the first …

Sure, there are various dependencies, but it's nothing like "cargo install crate-name". Cargo makes it so effortless to joink the dumbest dependency for the simplest thing.

Regardless of language, really? I highly doubt that, you don't generally see such problems with C or even C++ because dependencies are more cumbersome to add, especially in a way t…

Yeah, it feels like nothing but a little trick. Why would anyone want to actually use this? The exe simply calls docker, it can embed an image into the exe but even then it first c…

I'm so tired of generative AI. I can't take anyone who uses them seriously anymore.

Cool, I love that there are ways to utilize RAM and VRAM as filesystems. Sometimes you just don't need all that pure RAM/VRAM.

The beginning of the article answers to your question.

Screw cloudflare, I rather host my own proxies.

I can't really understand the desire to be completely anonymous. Isn't GDPR protection or some paid privacy protection enough?

Yet another web application.

Pardon my ignorance, but do you mean VOR instead of VAR? Or what does VAR stand for in your example?

Russia is like a kid playing with matches. I'm a noob when it comes to aviation, but AFAIK RNAV GPS approaches are quite common? Disrupting that is dangerous.

People who downvote me clearly lack any sense of humour.

These typescript fanatics never fail to make me feel disgusted by what they've done...

Sure, it is optional, but I've seen the unnecessary complexity seep into codebases over time, even though the software was originally elegant and simple. I'm not sure if such perve…

TypeScript is unnecessarily complex.

In 3D graphics and physics its importance and accuracy are obvious, but I agree that with ML the vector space represents so many different things that using a dot product feels fuz…

How complex? I'm no physicist nor an expert at this, but AFAIK we aren't really capable of simulating even a single electron at the quantum scale right now? Correct me if I'm wrong…

I'm currently recovering from burnout and the trick of not caring just does not work for me. This is my 2nd burnout and even though I learned that trick among other things from the…
