Use planning+execution rather than one-shotting, it'll let you push back on stuff like this. I recommend brainstorming everything with https://github.com/obra/superpowers , at leas…

Works fine here (134.0 on macOS)

kdrag0n's first post about this on HN, afaict: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34100779 Amazing how far they've got since, in just two years. As others have pointed out, it's …

You mean what Docker for Desktop can't do? It does have a few unique features (for example automatic HTTPS for containers) but that's not the point. The point is that it's much fas…

OrbStack is where it's at on macOS these days. It's so much better than Docker Desktop, it's not even funny. It's in a whole different league. I'd take this article with a grain of…

This. For graphql-ruby: https://graphql-ruby.org/operation_store/overview

I don't how hard it is, but part of the problem is the FDA's chronic understaffing issues: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/10/baby-form... https://abcnews.go.com/Bu…

Right, but fetching rows along with a bunch of related rows from other tables isn't niche, it's literally the _raison d'etre_ of GraphQL (simplifying a bit because GraphQL types do…

Closure Compiler follows the same line of thinking: https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/wiki/FAQ#closure-...

Reminds me of Hand Cheese (Handkäse), a regional specialty popular around the Frankfurt area. It's delicious, quite pungent but with a deep flavor. It gets its name because it was …

Surely the UI code is what responds to clicking "reveal" and therefore, if compromised, could fetch the secret even without a click?

I've found that this PL/pgSQL implementation also works well when you don't need maximum performance: https://github.com/gavinwahl/postgres-json-schema

That's hardly a convincing example. All of these points can be solved elegantly with a stream abstraction, which can be cheap or free given a sufficiently advanced language and com…

All of the examples show a single use but the value of destructuring becomes more obvious when you look at an example with multiple uses. Take this variant of one example: const Co…

Agreed about saturation and the choice of variable name, but the code would trigger a division by zero and not result in NaN: https://go.dev/play/p/vYm4tSNEJ7M (Also, in--say--Ruby…

This is a good example of why I dread Copilot: even if Go specifically couldn't express this any more concisely, there is a language that can and Copilot's very existence makes it …

Reminds me of Cargolifter, they tried something less ambitious and failed... but that was 20 years ago, at the very height of the dot com boom. Better luck to the Pathfinder 3 team…

Came here to say this. I'm starting Emacs only after a reboot, who cares if it takes 3s or 30s to launch (mine around 5 or so.) Use emacsclient if you want to use it as $EDITOR. ht…

You work with crypto according to your profile. I hope that when you see a random generator return a series of a hundred 6s, you go and check what's wrong with it instead of assumi…

If you follow the link, it says Americans spend that amount of time daily with "major media", and no mention of news only. So that would presumably include reading/watching fiction…

It can be both: that the teacher helped a _gifted_ boy grow into the author we know now, and the boy wouldn't have become the author we know now without them. Just because their ot…

I came here wondering the same thing. A random google search turned up this: https://www.birdwatchingdaily.com/news/science/five-bird-spe... > Researchers have learned that digesti…

Brecht had a whimsical take on this. There's a German saying that goes "wer A sagt, muss auch B sagen": he who says A, has to say B, meaning of course you should always try and fol…

You can do mmap on Windows, eg. https://github.com/danburkert/memmap-rs
