Was curious how they get such performance with a FUSE based design. It seems that they sort of cheat, FUSE is used to manage metadata but to get high performance you have to link i…

A big fuck you to rssDaemon on Android which came out with a 3.x to 4.0 update that nuked all my feeds (this was a few years ago. I switched to Feedly and it's been great.

There's only one right answer: Nybble - 4 bits Byte - 8 bits Snyack - 16 bits Lyunch - 32 bits Dynner - 64 bits

I don't think this has been discussed on Hacker News before, but I wonder if people have any opinions about Arvados?

I've driven between Boston and Montreal in a 2018 Prius Prime and got something like 60 mpg despite a large part of the trip being through the mountains of Vermont. Hybrids are a f…

"Manager" is a broad category, but in my case I am deeply involved in product design and technical architecture (with lots of input from my team) so I find that being able to plan …

Yes, my recollection of the books is that it isn't about the need to keep consuming resources, it is about the premise that it is impossible to judge if another civilization is hos…

Been checking the #roblox hashtag on Twitter and the two main themes are addicts going through withdrawal and devs saying how they wouldn't have their llama appreciation fan site b…

There seem to be some misunderstanding here. CWL is intended for stringing together other programs. It is useful for reproducibility in that it attempts to provide a fairly specifi…

I use RssDaemon on Android, which had been around forever (8-9 years maybe?) is apparently so dead that the author just released a new version with major UI update. My most used be…

The Pacifica plug-in hybrid is a fantastic minivan that can go up to 30 miles all electric before needing to engage the ICE, and in hybrid mode it still gets significantly better m…

I don't know if I can change your mind, or if anyone else is reading this thread, but CWL was designed to solve a particular set of problems, if you don't have those problems, you …

CWL is a declarative/functional language for describing how to execute command line tools (staging input files, mapping arguments, collecting outputs) and how to connect the output…

Adding conditional execution to the dataflow graph is something being worked on for the next version of CWL.

CWL project co-founder here. It's funny, I have been trying to start a discussion of CWL on HN for years, obviously someone else had to do it. The goal is to provide a way to descr…

And TypeScript is C++ for the JavaScript ecosystem, with all the good and bad things that implies.

Read the piece waiting for the obvious conclusion that if we can't build EVs we need to massively build out public transportation... Still waiting...

This is my take as well. The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics to describe physics suggests it is more fundamental than something our monkey brains came up with. If aliens …

Software Carpentry would be a good place to start: https://software-carpentry.org/

It's been like 3 years since I worked in a WeWork location but it seemed like they were doing a lot of wheel reinventing, they had their own social network site, their own room res…
