I'm partial to Java for a lot of reasons. That aside I still think my criticisms of JS syntax, NPM, and debugging are valid. Let me explain a bit more though. The biggest problem w…

It's not the same. Those compile to the bytecode but not through generating code. The "transpilers" for JavaScript are glorified code generators, they don't perform most of work th…

I can't figure out the circle jerk around Node. Debugging sucks A LOT, JS syntax sucks, single thread sucks, NPM is filled with 95% junk. Python, Java, golang, C#, and maybe even P…

Turns out knowing more than one language isn't a rare or sought after skill. In Europe maybe 40% of the population knows multiple languages fluently. Perhaps a third of these write…

This does a bad job of simulating a slow network. First, as others mentioned, it only throttles outbound. It also doesn't simulate buffer bloat. Linux network stack isn't designed …

I may be overly paranoid, but the majority of what Fuscia is trying to accomplish is extremely bad for open platforms. The outcome of moving drivers to user space will be prolifera…

I disagree. There's always a possibility that someone else already knows about it and isn't disclosing it. Waiting to disclose will naturally lead a company to take longer to fix t…

Ambiguous messages do not imply slang. Plenty of words have multiple meanings in normal and formal English. It's a much worse problem in tonal languages like Chinese. Tell me how y…

Wow. These things just scream military use. My guess is phased array radar.

The average American commits ~ three felonies a day by accident. The combination of district,city, county, state, country, and international law that applies to you would probably …

Playing this was deeply satisfying

Article is a bit short but I like the premise. Balsamiq is excellent, I guess this explains why. The happiest people I've known have been lifestyle business owners. Investors act l…

Vector seems to be some kind of hybrid entity, presumably designed to soak up ML talent at the University that revived AI research while also soaking up taxpayer dollars for Google…

Holy shit you weren't kidding. A search for 500x forex brings up all sorts of day traders doing this stuff. Scary.

I have a feeling this is one of those places where ML will not be useful until we have strong AI. Certain grammatical errors are impossible to fix unless you understand the overall…

Fuchsia sounds awesome. Allowing user space processes to do more of their own work frees up the kernel from providing standardized interfaces to hardware. This makes it significant…

Robinhood's Gold tier, which is a different name for buying on margin, has potentially dire implications for the health of the economy.... The great depression was largely the resu…

This is great. I've got some relatives that love this garbage and there's things in here I hadn't heard about. I can picture the author being totally surrounded by this shit :)

The difference with software is that I don't need to buy the library to use the computer. Not sure which FPGA's you're using since all the big players force you to use their shitty…

That's really interesting

Ah someone that's actually used them eh :) ? My experience is the same. People have this impression that they're being used for all this exciting stuff when the average FPGA is bec…

Random muse, but God damn I love Google's code quality. Compared to the midnight bamboo forest my company built. A challenging codebase, not by its merits but because you need to b…

I'm going to save these links for the next time I get downvoted for saying that js object system and dynamic typing suck for performance :). When JS performance threads come up I a…

I'm imagining a Battlestar Galactica situation where things are only networked if absolutely necessary. The internet, now serious business, couldn't be trusted with a bunch of supe…

Good article, Musk's logic seems more sound than most of SV. Of course he's also the one building cars and rockets while everyone else's business boils down to fancy websites. I ad…
