I prefer this to having app.use / router.use scattered anywhere throughout the app init (i.e. Express)

Success is a lousy teacher. Mr. Musk has been dreaming about his "everything app" i.e. X.com for a very long time. The fact that he thinks the sinking Twitter ship will bring it to fruition is laughable.

Looks like the top comment was spot on. Were HN users the "Avengers" mentioned in OP?

There are a limited number of people willing to spend a limited amount of time fuzzing, reviewing, and scrutinizing crypto libraries. The more libraries exist, the more their efforts are divided, and the total scrutiny each library receives

Actually, among the MAGMA companies I've found the _least_ bias for leetcode-memorization at Amazon. My interview with Meta was exactly as you described (a CS riddle taken from a textbook, to be solved without running the code or recei

Obviously this is true but CK doesn't sell dollar bills for 90 cents.

Yes..... and the only way a $444M quarterly revenue company "aren't profitable at all" is if their costs are >$444M / quarter. That's what my comment was getting at. Does GP really think a business like CK costs

Your guess is wrong, their Q2 revenue this year was reported $444M

Having seen several projects written by people who "happen to know some code," I can tell you there's a good reason this hasn't caught on. These sort of people can work the very foundations of the company into an ungodly

The difference will be painfully clear once you try to walk a junior developer through installing and linking new files to a large project in Visual Studio, vs "copy this .h file here and include it". Whether or not a "good b

1) Include it wherever it's used. The convention is to use the preprocessor[1] so it only appears once in the final binary 2) Most developers just want to compile to a single binary. Any developer who for some reason needs separately c

There is a stigma amongst "real programmers" against "web developers". So a "real programmer" will never become adept at CSS because it doesn't appeal to their ego

Sure, high salaries are justified for this minority. The people mentioned specifically in the comment are of more concern; sales, admin, etc. salaries in this field are also inflated compared to other industries.

What other packages have you seen abusing import side effects? Shopify is the first one I've seen, so I don't think it's quite as common as you are implying, but I'm curious to know what other bad behavior you have found

What "moat" does Bitcoin have protecting it from other crypto which may have more attractive features? It seems to me that it's just the first one that everyone's grandma has heard the name of. Some journalists will say

Unfortunately the Python package ecosystem is enough of a headache. Now we add additional complication "OK, these pip package authors have upstreamed Alpine packages, and these other ones are only on PyPi". Maybe this approach wou

If you ask me, installing glibc / compat layers defeats the purpose of using Alpine, especially since Alpine ultimately only saved me ~50 MB on image size versus a similarly configured debian:slim-buster image

by hn_acc_2 6y ago
I did settle on Debian, using i.e. python:3.9-slim-buster (though you can just as easily start from debian and install your python version)

Another "I want to love Alpine but can't" user here. Their use of musl libc makes it a very poor choice for running python in a container, because it forces a lot of manual rebuilding since the PyPi wheels don't work on

Thanks, that makes sense. The computer terms helped :)

If the atom bombs had no effect in forcing surrender, why then are they mentioned specifically in the Japanese surrender broadcast (with no mention of Soviet aggression at all)? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_Voice

Not sure about the first part...How is Python's approachable design "so limiting" to all those dimensions? Nobody writes performance-critical code in pure python. Not sure how "tooling" is bad, what would you say is

It depends on your compiler. But as a general rule, the programmer will have a hard time "outsmarting" the compiler by using different objects or abstractions. Compiler authors have spent many hundreds of combined hours making C c

This is not a case of gallivanting engineers running free. All of the moonshot projects are done at the direction of executive leadership in the hopes to open new profit streams. In fact some of the more technically promising projects (like

Just curious, what problems does fail2ban suffer with thousands of unique ips? (A crowded iptables I guess...) I still use it with a super oppressive jail time and few retries, with a few whitelisted IPs and it seems to work ok.

That's not fair... 1) Costs were not zero for the re-release. The only version of the game data (stats, items, enemy spawns etc.) was in the form of an original database backup (from an old employee's personal stash!). Classic ru

No, the drive motor rpm is not controlled by OS drivers but by the drive controller. You'd have to write custom firmware and flash it onto the drive controller (inside the HDD) to change the rpm

You could use this technique to estimate the remaining capacity starting from a full charge / known charge , but not to arbitrarily measure the remaining capacity of the battery
