I feel like I’m missing something. How do people justify the security implications of manual memory management when building a publicly accessible web service with Zig?

Once I create a presentation, can I hot-link to a png of it as a cover image? I don't know if I need the full richness of a ppt/pdf off the gate but image gen with solid text layout would be huge.

Someone should write a blog post about the prestige/effectiveness negative feedback loop. This is also the Achilles heel of top tier SV VCs including YC.

Really well put. “Processes is a symptom of competence, not the cause” is a good motto.

It’s always a good sign when an architecture diagram has Nginx + Lua in it. The Lua memory leak bug is a good example of why it saves SO MUCH time to use managed services like Browserless to do things at scale. When you DIY, you end up debu

In that case Windows Linux Subsystem seems like a good compromise.

Alfred's clipboard manager will auto-exclude anything that's copied from 1Password. You can add more auto-exclude rules yourself too.

The reason that this is on the front page is because not everyone is a serious astrophotographer. If you find yourself asking "I already know about this, why is this on the front page?" Take a moment, you've just answered you

You hit the nail in the head. Intel has built up amazing margins on the x86 business over the years by beating out competitors. ARM margins are razor thin by comparison and Intel can't bring themselves to cannibalize their cash cow by

Out of curiosity, do these major donors receive partial control over Watsi in return? If so, what's the mechanism for that? Board seats?

Anyone have reading suggestions for an operationally minded infrastructure engineer who is paranoid about security and hates breaking production but still wants to take the IPv6 plunge?

Lack of generics is part of the reason why Go is easier to learn and the Go compiler is faster than, say, Rust. Sure, generics don't have runtime overhead in Rust and Haskell but they have other costs. You always pay for abstractions s

by mustpax 12y ago
There's no question that Rust and Haskell have better tools than C++ for abstracting code. Go is just demonstrating that you can write great software without the aid (and cost) of generics.
24.
by mustpax 12y ago
Exactly! Go makes the cost of generic code explicitly visible. Generics encourage over-generalizing behavior that runs counter to writing highly performant code. If you care about speed, you don't spend time making your code generic. Y

by mustpax 12y ago
That's true. It's not just GC actually. Slices and goroutines don't have a direct analogues in C either. But it is fairly easy to reason about the runtime complexity of these conveniences. But like I said, if I didn't ca

There's something very seductive about languages like Rust or Scala or Haskell or even C++. These languages whisper in our ears "you are brilliant and here's a blank canvas where you can design the most perfect abstraction th

For the 44 to 24 percent of students who passed the course, this was not a failure at all. I don't see why they should be denied access to education because the likelihood of failing the course is higher. Online courses should be offer
