I prefer this to having app.use / router.use scattered anywhere throughout the app init (i.e. Express)

Success is a lousy teacher. Mr. Musk has been dreaming about his "everything app" i.e. X.com for a very long time. The fact that he thinks the sinking Twitter ship will bring it to…

Looks like the top comment was spot on. Were HN users the "Avengers" mentioned in OP?

There are a limited number of people willing to spend a limited amount of time fuzzing, reviewing, and scrutinizing crypto libraries. The more libraries exist, the more their effor…

Actually, among the MAGMA companies I've found the _least_ bias for leetcode-memorization at Amazon. My interview with Meta was exactly as you described (a CS riddle taken from a t…

Obviously this is true but CK doesn't sell dollar bills for 90 cents.

Yes..... and the only way a $444M quarterly revenue company "aren't profitable at all" is if their costs are >$444M / quarter. That's what my comment was getting at. Does GP really…

Your guess is wrong, their Q2 revenue this year was reported $444M

Having seen several projects written by people who "happen to know some code," I can tell you there's a good reason this hasn't caught on. These sort of people can work the very fo…

The difference will be painfully clear once you try to walk a junior developer through installing and linking new files to a large project in Visual Studio, vs "copy this .h file h…

1) Include it wherever it's used. The convention is to use the preprocessor[1] so it only appears once in the final binary 2) Most developers just want to compile to a single binar…

There is a stigma amongst "real programmers" against "web developers". So a "real programmer" will never become adept at CSS because it doesn't appeal to their ego

Sure, high salaries are justified for this minority. The people mentioned specifically in the comment are of more concern; sales, admin, etc. salaries in this field are also inflat…

What other packages have you seen abusing import side effects? Shopify is the first one I've seen, so I don't think it's quite as common as you are implying, but I'm curious to kno…

What "moat" does Bitcoin have protecting it from other crypto which may have more attractive features? It seems to me that it's just the first one that everyone's grandma has heard…

Unfortunately the Python package ecosystem is enough of a headache. Now we add additional complication "OK, these pip package authors have upstreamed Alpine packages, and these oth…

If you ask me, installing glibc / compat layers defeats the purpose of using Alpine, especially since Alpine ultimately only saved me ~50 MB on image size versus a similarly config…

I did settle on Debian, using i.e. python:3.9-slim-buster (though you can just as easily start from debian and install your python version)

Another "I want to love Alpine but can't" user here. Their use of musl libc makes it a very poor choice for running python in a container, because it forces a lot of manual rebuild…

Thanks, that makes sense. The computer terms helped :)

> Results showed that attention lapses in the moment prior to remembering impacted on behavioural and neural memory signals and were associated with greater likelihood of forgettin…

If the atom bombs had no effect in forcing surrender, why then are they mentioned specifically in the Japanese surrender broadcast (with no mention of Soviet aggression at all)? ht…

Not sure about the first part...How is Python's approachable design "so limiting" to all those dimensions? Nobody writes performance-critical code in pure python. Not sure how "too…

It depends on your compiler. But as a general rule, the programmer will have a hard time "outsmarting" the compiler by using different objects or abstractions. Compiler authors hav…
