Looking at your resume, I am curious how you are intimately familiar with XP. Seems like it should be before your time.

If anyone is interested in learning more about Alloy, I would recommend this book by the author, Daniel Jackson - "Software Abstractions" - https://www.amazon.com/Software-Abstractions-Logic-Language-...

In my first semester as a freshman in an American university, I took a quiz in the Calculus class that had a question based on American football. Having never played the sports or even knowing the rules all that well, I aced the exam. Yes,

I am looking at this and thinking of the systems we build (in software) and what we can learn from the sublime postal system.

This isn't about desktop vs web apps. Plenty of desktop apps (or mobile apps) use a centrally located database server side. So, #3 (synchronize between clients) is about merging data using CRDTs in a distributed manner without requiri

Amazon has its own Uber, own fulfillment service down to monitoring tools that are built in house. So, not sure if it's a change in their "buy vs build" strategy or there's a more business play here to gain traction in t

In the same vein, I think the industry is ripe for "smart-less" TVs. Reduce the cost, and take all the smarts out of it. Don't even need wifi. Apple TV, roku, chromecast - enough good options out there that there's reall

While that is true, it isn't a problem inherently with comments.

I always wondered if the "useless comment" comment was really a way of bragging employed by experienced programmers (or their wannabes). Why is it a burden on anyone? Most IDE clearly highlight the comments so you can tune it out.

Paul Graham is a good writer - I give him that. But this piece can't be taken seriously. Please don't go interrupting everybody in meetings to show that you are intellectually superior.

Haven't looked at Jolie closely, but I am very well-versed in gRPC. Can someone give a quick comparison between the two or point me to a good resource that compares the advantages of Jolie over gRPC or vice-versa?

If this will make Microsoft Office (specifically powerpoint) web client usable, then I will gladly pay $30 per month.

Also, I wonder how can we realistically implement this for SaaS?

The idea of SBOM, or BOM is not a new one. Maven already has one for years now called BOM files [1]. So am I right in assuming that the author's suggestion is to make this BOM file public like the ingredients in food product as some pe

Clearly, it makes sense on the "sellers" side to make it into a service - the article pretty much conceded to that. However, this issue is also created by the "buyers" side as well. To give a concrete example - prometheu

I think it is demonstrably proven that Facebook has no qualms about aiding and abetting government campaigns of crushing dissent across the world, despite its claims of "cherishing free speech". Facebook (and Twitter) has been doi

Even though it mentions this in the context of filenames being sortable, I agree that this should have been a bullet point of its own.

Fair question. Your last name is a clear give away of your caste in most cases. There may be others, but I am not sure of what they may be.

The constitution bans any discrimination based on caste. However, casteism is imbued in Indian culture today. As an Indian, I know this for a fact. All you have to do is see the matrimonial ads. Also, one way to sniff out casteist behavior

To be clear, Article 15 and 17 absolutely prohibits any discrimination based on caste and abolishes untouchability respectively. [1] The issue is that the culture still imbues caste system. All you have to do is peruse the matrimonial or se

This is one of those times when I just love coming to hacker news. Seemingly trivial quality of life improvement makes it to the top and the comments section is lit up with several other cool alternatives.

I see a novel playing out. A bird's eye view of the sprawling highways in a major US city shows them completely empty and lifeless in broad daylight. It all starts out by companies canceling events and conferences. The shutdowns also
