    I've come to realize (I think) that this actually does have a lot to do with waterproofness ratings -- a legibility trap. I notice that Fairphone excludes headphones from their lat…

    I want to like this, and it's directionally good work... But it's hard to see this as very useful unless we also start to see some increases in legibility, and ways to make sure th…

    I'm an advocate for "both". - `Option ` and `Result ` at core; - `?T` and `T!E` as type declaration syntax that desugars to them; - and `.?` and `.!` operators so chains like `foo(…

    Language explorers looking for lower level languages like this may also want to take a peek at the V language. https://vlang.io/ I won't say with confidence either is better than t…

    This is a delight to read. I've been doing a survey of languages over the last several days, and Odin is one of the more interesting ones... but looking at the OS and FS related pa…

    That is roughly the number of new requests per second, but these are not just light web requests. The git transport protocol is "smart" in a way that is, in some ways, arguably rat…

    Really depends on where you're from. OP already mentioned in his area it's phonetically mostly "ew". I'd say a lot of germanic areas also do something I'd describe as "oi". That'd …

    Ah, yes, the KDE people are definitely the people I trust most to deliver a reliable system and not go crazy chasing incongruent rewrites of things while abandoning what works... /…

    My 2c (opinions may vary, etc, etc): I think that doing percent-encoding shenanigans is going to be widely perceived as "ugly" and will severely hamper adoption. I'd reconsider. I …

    soo..... what's the guidance for when package names include a slash? such as approximately everything in golang, which very often matches e.g. "github.com/*" as a package name? Do …

    Warpforge -- project website: http://warpforge.io / https://github.com/warptools/warpforge -- is a project I work on that's heading a bit in this direction. Hashes in + build instr…

    I want to see more things like this emerge too. I think one of the bigger barriers is that terminals don't really have a component reuse boundary. What I mean by that is: in the br…

    Hey good news -- you might be interested in Warpforge: https://github.com/warpfork/warpforge It's heading in exactly that direction. In fact we specifically want to start using Sta…

    You may be entertained by WarpVer: https://gist.github.com/warpfork/98d2f4060c68a565e8ad18ea481... It's not SemVer(tm). That's it. That's the whole pitch. There's also a section sp…

    > Crev is an actual _code review system_ as opposed to typically practiced _code-change review system_. You have my attention!

    That fund affects day to day life a lot less than you might expect, FWIW. It's not like we get to just... spend that; it's somewhat comparable to saying "the New York Stock Exchang…

    Layout is sort of the center of questions I have about it too. There's a few built-in layout options: https://godoc.org/fyne.io/fyne/layout ... but not many; I think it'd be a stre…

    I really like Mural and am definitely cheering for them. They really get UX. It's hard to explain how fluid and useful their product is until you try it. Nothing else I've experien…

    Computationally? Think something like "NP hard", except the "verifier" function isn't even plausibly cheap either. Experimentally from the real thing? I'm not even sure we know how…

    Sure, but grep the fine original article for the word "privacy". It's not present. HN is discussing HN's tangentially-related feelings more than HN is discussing the article. I'm n…

    It's useful all the time in serialization and marshalling systems. You end up with very nice code if you can keep a separate stack for each of e.g. your json parser and its paired …

    I find it very interesting that the comments here on HN so far are predominated by discussion of "privacy". The article is about anti-trust regulation. These are different things. …

    I agree with this and thus often find the term "IC" itself unfortunately prone to being misleading.

    I agree with the "we won't do all the things" thesis, and that it's probably wise to acknowledge that and plan accordingly around that self-knowledge. Almost everything else in the…
