I'm not sure I'd take design advice from someone who thought attr.ib and attr.s were a good idea. On the other hand he points out that DDD is a vacuous cult, which is true.

I think that to understand the diversity of opinions, we have to recognize a few different categories of users: Category 1: people who don't like to admit that anything trendy can also be good at what it does. Category 2: people who do

>> Do you have a reference where I can learn about this? > I don't really understand what you're asking for. That comes across as rude and condescending; please don't communicate like that. Your English skills seem

To be fair the Alacritty author is also really abrasive and unsympathetic to users.

This is literally the least interesting thread I have ever seen on HN. Man complains about other people doing thing related to his hobby.

One thing that bothers me is when people refer to languages like Go and Rust as "not object-oriented". Of course they are object oriented; Go and Rust programs consist of struct definitions to which you associate methods, giving r

OK. For reference, I was an Emacs user for 20 years, and participated heavily in emacs extension development. I used to think like you early on. But, especially if you use languages with expressive/complex type systems, having the edit

Can you give more details regarding what IDE features you have in mind? I agree that java/c# people not knowing how to use the command line is bad (because they only know how to click "build project" etc) but IDE features suc

I can't read the news because it's so upsetting to watch the world allow a naked genocide, or discuss it with my family. The 7 Nov terrorist attack was disgusting, and since then Israel has proved to the entire world, beyond anyon

I often find myself wanting a way to easily see which variables are local to a closure body versus those that are captured. (I use VSCode in case anyone knows a way to do it in any language)

This article is missing a "What are signals" section. And yes, this does not do the job: > Within JS frameworks and libraries, there has been a large amount of experimentation across different ways to represent this binding, an

Agreed. It's annoyingly hard to come across though for me, and for most people I'd imagine.

You sound really full of yourself and entitled. A job should last several years, why not spend half a day applying? You don't sound like you really want a new job anyway, but maybe try to put yourself in the shoes of people who do, or

You don't have to be an expert; you should very rarely be using regexes so complex that you can't understand them.

Small thing but postgres should deprecate the names it uses for the CLI commands like "adduser" "createuser" etc; they should have a prefix like "pg-adduser" or more modern, be subcommands of a single "pg&

I have literally no idea why people care so much about typing latency. If you type that fast, I suggest that you seriously consider finding a more intellectually challenging task.

Just saying something isn't open source isn't a valid criticism, and it's not an interesting contribution to HN. You could say the same about any software at all that's not open source; it has no positive contribution to

It can go too far. Too many section headings and it becomes unreadable, like an undergraduate textbook where you're constantly being distracted by sections and boxes.

People who don't like significant whitespace are just people who don't use a proper text editor / IDE. A lot of them think you have to manually insert the whitespace. It's the same with people who complain about parenthe

Presumably all the structure and section headings that they recommend don't have to be rendered by a browser as visible to humans. The LLMs should be smart enough to understand HTML directives that don't add a lot of unnecessary

Actually, no, I have a PhD, and postdoc in this area. You, on the other hand, have read too much pop science about epigenetics. Surely you know that what sells pop science is novelty, so claiming that "Darwin was wrong because epigenet

Nice try but that argument doesn't work: predicted speed of change to planet under climate change is much much greater than under previously seen natural changes to habitats.

by da39a3ee 3y ago
The obsession with climate change has produced a generation who think that any tree species is ok if it replenishes carbon. People who don't understand that some natural habitats are incomparably more important for birds than secondary

A bit, yes. But it's perfectly possible to destroy a bird's breeding habitat without affecting global climate. The focus should be on the species we share the planet with and preventing their extinction. Planetary atmospheric issu

Endemic to X means that it's geographical distribution is confined to X. The (original) geographical distribution of basically all bird species is fairly well known, due to the efforts of 19th and 20th century scientists and their coll

Ornithologists always use mist nets to survey birds. They are very widely used and rarely harm the birds when used by people who've learned how to use them. Their possession is controlled in the sorts of countries with legal systems th

In more advanced undergraduate math, PDF lecture notes written by professors but not published in book form often contain excellent explanations and proofs that are not available in books. Also, making undergraduate buy expensive text books
