> Ford CEO says he has 5,000 open mechanic jobs with up to 6-figure salaries from the shortage of manually skilled workers: https://fortune.com/2025/11/12/ford-ceo-manufacturing-jo…

I replied to your comment on my website, but for posterity here, yes, I do think you did a good job for the part about exiting when bestScore > 100. There's nitpicks, but this is f…

I have written channel code in the last week. It's part of the deal (especially with the context package). I'm just happy to see them restrained.

Seriously! This caused such a ruckus when I posted this 9 years ago. I lost some professional acquaintanceships over it! Definitely a different reception.

> the complaints about channels have largely been received and agreed upon by experienced Go developers. Channels are still useful but they were way more prominent in the early day…

Author of the post here, I really like Go! It's my favorite language! It has absolutely nailed high concurrency programming in a way that other languages' solutions make me cringe …

Adding an atomic counter is absolutely a great solution in the real world, definitely, and compare and swap or a mutex or similar totally is what you want to do. In fact, that's my…

Hi! No, I think you've misunderstood the assignment. The example posits that you have a "game" running, which should end when the last player leaves. While only using channels as a…

To clarify why I said the CPU is the same and the other poster says the A30 has a better CPU, both are true! Same architecture (Cortex A7), but the Mini Plus has 2 cores and the A3…

I assume the basics are similar. The Miyoo Mini Plus has WiFi, which is great, but no GPU, so I assume you end up with different drivers. But the CPU is the same so everything else…

When someone says "20 years of doom predictions haven't come true", I charitably assumed that claim was about scientific consensus predictions, but perhaps I can't assume that ever…

How can this be such a top-voted answer? What? Without even going into the unsubstantiated assertion with #1, your comment on number 3 shows a dramatic misunderstanding of how comp…

Why? What compliance reasons make Ubuntu LTS work and RHEL not work?

Here's my wizard if you want to tweak the maps yourself: https://climatedash.fly.dev/?selection=tmean_avg_2050+&filte...

I made a bunch of maps to answer this question! https://www.jtolio.com/2022/07/anthropocene-calamity-part-8-...

As a customer of Storj, this isn't something you'll need to worry about. We're integrated with Stripe and take credit cards and invoices. We will also take STORJ token if you want.…

We're hoping they respond to some of our reach outs for a deeper discussion! But if for some reason you're reading this here, NixOS Foundation folks, my email is in my profile!

Here's the HN conversation about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34192336

This is really good feedback, thank you. The platform roadmap is available here: https://github.com/orgs/storj/projects/23 . Good question about Borg. We are supported by rclone na…

Certainly there are differing opinions about cryptocurrency in general. In terms of "does the math work", you're absolutely right that charging $7/TB and paying $20/TB to our stora…

Storj + Fastly is genuinely a pretty good combo. There are certainly some things Fastly does that we don't do (besides being more specifically a CDN, they also have compute@edge, e…

According to https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-foundations-financial-su... , they have 450TB and 29.5TB of S3 egress/month. By my math, assuming the Nix Foundation goes in throug…
