Interestingly, there are basically two kinds of programs I am sometimes happy to see guided tours embedded in: * Creation programs (image/video editors, 3D rendering... hell, even …

Actually, the technical advisory is even more pertinent to the HN crowd: https://www.qualys.com/2024/07/01/cve-2024-6387/regresshion.... And there is apparently already a discussio…

Not sure if there is an official announcement to link here vs the toot, either way a very well deserved award and a success story for fundamental PL research influencing industry p…

The easy answer when bringing up something like IntelliJ is that we very much intend to go beyond the IDE (local edit-build-debug loop) and beyond an specific programming language …

A cliche, perhaps, but build times and land times have always been a top priority of developers, particularly as tooling, specially code analysis, grows more complex. Developer too…

Well, an IDE is not fundamentally out of scope, but for the foreseeable future the plan there is more along the lines of plugins for common IDEs (e.g. VSCode, Jetbrains) and integr…

Hi, everyone! We are some of the authors behind Uber’s OSS developer tools, which have appeared in HN previously, including: Piranha (automated stale flag cleanup and code refactor…

No worries, that's how I understood it too :) Just adding a bit more context on why we feel the approach does beat "grep panic" for people checking out this thread.

We'd be interested in the general characteristics of the most common ones you are seeing. If you have a chance to file a couple issues (and haven't done so yet): https://github.com…

Actually, if we were running into cases where we aren't logging a panic which is actually happening in production, then the first thing to note is that we need to improve our obser…

Native Spanish speaker here (ES-MX, specifically, if it matters). I think this is one of the cases where a solid general rule breaks down in the specifics. You are correct about th…

> Isn't this pretty much the description of every company? For the most part, sure. But that's the parent's point, I think. Central banks are not companies, they are part of the pu…

While admittedly not as nice as having it built into the type system from day one, there are a number of tools one can integrate into their build to add various degrees of null saf…

Since this can make you think your cursor is in a different position in the page than it actually is, couldn't it potentially be used to mislead you to click outside the page as we…

Independently of that, an exceedingly large number of countries require visas from Chinese citizens. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Chines... This square…

If this were the only criteria, then Chinese passports would be accepted visa-free in a lot more countries than they currently are. Not saying that travel bans will remain in place…

Presumably, Germany would have little trouble compelling at least one root CA to sign any TLS certificates they wanted. Just a cursory search shows that Google Chrome, on Linux, tr…

Just as an extra note: there are manual testing steps (and automated end-to-end test, and internal alpha test, etc), independent of whether the diff was Piranha- or developer-autho…
