I kind of get where you're coming from but at what point do we admit that such use cases are the fringe and not the main?

Agreed. Over 10 years of development using Git and I perhaps ran into an issue like 10 times, which is once a year on average. I can't think of any other tool that hasn't given me …

Another thinly veiled AI product. Yawn.

I have personally witnessed "legacy" rails apps (were ~4 years old, Rails 5 was around but we were on Rails 3 IIRC) and they are not really unlike normal legacy apps but they defin…

I think this is one point that I don't see being made often enough. ChatGPT is exceptional at retrieval of information, but if it starts passing tests like the MCAT and LSAT and so…

I see SICP listed on every list but I really feel its becoming Knuth-esque. I mean, I didn't learn through that specific book, but after going through it a couple of years ago I fo…

As someone who works in crypto this is bloody hilarious.

But std::vector has been around since C++98 (and in the STL even before then). What's changed?

That's an interesting take that I didn't think of. I think the burden on having a cloud-based development environment on ops teams will be non-zero though - some set of individuals…

Partial suite is certainly an option. You can build tools that only test code that has changed and whose changes can have cascading effects on other code (i.e dependent code). Do y…

Wow, that's really impressive! Do you plan on adding support for Golang?

Using Python decorators is a very strange choice for constructing computational graphs. Then again, I don't really use Python for this kind of thing, I roll my own solutions (of ju…

> But all technology evolves, and git is already showing its weaknesses. Fork-and-pull isn't the final form of development workflows. I kind of get what this is saying, but technol…

Running tests locally is pretty much a no-no for many codebases because they are so large and tests take a long time if they don't run on a beefy test server or in parallel. Common…

Just had this thought: are there any decentralized code hosting services? To me, I don't really see a difference between GitHub and sr.ht. Companies can start out with these "frien…

Not sure what you mean by this. You can dynamically add to a wait group using the Add() method.

You can easily cancel worker goroutines in Go using contexts and their associated cancel functions (listen on ctx.Done() in a select statement).

Will 2nd not being a fan of Gorm. In general not a fan of ORMs - implicit behaviours and magic query generation in a language like Go is completely antithetical to the explicit and…

Building a "Rails-like" framework in Go is honestly totally antithetical to the "Go way" of doing things. Rails has a ton of magic, implicit behaviours, monkey patching, ERB, and s…

As someone who works in crypto this is God freaking hilarious! Kudos.

Because any negative news on crypto is automatically HN-worthy.

/dev/null is quite webscale as well, writing to it is as fast as heck!

> A Git-compatible DVCS that is both simple and powerful We all know the dig here - Git is not simple. Like many tools, Git has evolved significantly over the years. Git today was …

Disagree with this. Most middle managers wouldn't understand the difference. One canonical version is enough, any more and there's just confusion, not enlightenment.
