I feel like I’m missing something. How do people justify the security implications of manual memory management when building a publicly accessible web service with Zig?

Once I create a presentation, can I hot-link to a png of it as a cover image? I don't know if I need the full richness of a ppt/pdf off the gate but image gen with solid text layou…

Someone should write a blog post about the prestige/effectiveness negative feedback loop. This is also the Achilles heel of top tier SV VCs including YC.

Really well put. “Processes is a symptom of competence, not the cause” is a good motto.

It’s always a good sign when an architecture diagram has Nginx + Lua in it. The Lua memory leak bug is a good example of why it saves SO MUCH time to use managed services like Brow…

In that case Windows Linux Subsystem seems like a good compromise.

Alfred's clipboard manager will auto-exclude anything that's copied from 1Password. You can add more auto-exclude rules yourself too.

The reason that this is on the front page is because not everyone is a serious astrophotographer. If you find yourself asking "I already know about this, why is this on the front p…

You hit the nail in the head. Intel has built up amazing margins on the x86 business over the years by beating out competitors. ARM margins are razor thin by comparison and Intel c…

Thanks for the explanation. Congrats on the fundraise!

Out of curiosity, do these major donors receive partial control over Watsi in return? If so, what's the mechanism for that? Board seats?

Anyone have reading suggestions for an operationally minded infrastructure engineer who is paranoid about security and hates breaking production but still wants to take the IPv6 pl…

Lack of generics is part of the reason why Go is easier to learn and the Go compiler is faster than, say, Rust. Sure, generics don't have runtime overhead in Rust and Haskell but t…

There's no question that Rust and Haskell have better tools than C++ for abstracting code. Go is just demonstrating that you can write great software without the aid (and cost) of …

Exactly! Go makes the cost of generic code explicitly visible. Generics encourage over-generalizing behavior that runs counter to writing highly performant code. If you care about …

That's true. It's not just GC actually. Slices and goroutines don't have a direct analogues in C either. But it is fairly easy to reason about the runtime complexity of these conve…
