Seems cool but mosh already exists

Shortages lead to gluts. Get ready.

I remember celebrating when it died but looking back it wasn’t so bad. At least from a dev perspective, working with a batteries-included sdk from a single vendor is a lot nicer th…

LUKS doesn’t have this problem. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s a matter of time before Windows runs on the Linux kernel. It’ll just be this big monoculture like Ch…

You’re joking right

Dead wrong. GPT4 is scary good. I think it will replace frontend web dev.

You’re being rational and using logic. Unfortunately that’s not how markets and valuations work.

$10M to host a listing of pdfs. lol let me do it.

This is the kind of thing you can only trust the compiler to do. And we already have goroutines.

No. Please no.

I wanted to make something like this, but using Bluetooth LE. Then I looked at the Bluetooth spec and implementations realized why Bluetooth applications are so unreliable (other t…

No. It’s dead, Jim. (That said, it’s better than Python by miles, but it suffers from the same curse as Lisp.)

So when do we get the worldwide 0-day caused by a malicious crates package?

It seems people still have not grasped free software. You could have full control over your computing experience, limited only by your abilities.

AI in those days was completely academic, so they used the in vogue academic language. It was a tribal thing—the same way HN gets excited when they see Rust. AI in the 1980s was ce…

Correct. The best use case for Web Components is to ship a bloat-free, reusable widget that doesn't care whether a consumer uses it with React, Vue, vanilla JS, Angular, etc.

If you're using a framework like lit-html as the author recommends, it will replace the string every update. Most people will prefer that way since it's more ergonomic and similar …

RxJS aka the reason so many websites take 100MB of memory nowadays Don't use it

The problem with Web Components is it's slower than React or other vDOM implementations. Also everything is a string. To re-render, you have to manipulate the innerHTML--usually re…

This is neat but for convenience not performance. The bottleneck is in the kernel more than anything else. Probably it has the same latency as nginx, modulo safety checks. I would …

Nah Rust evangelism is pretty organic. I remember it having a cult 6 years ago too, before any of these companies got involved.

C++ is pretty much the opposite of moving fast and breaking things. It takes like 10+ years, lots of academic papers and debates, lots of peer review, to get a feature into the ISO…
