In recent history I have worked a lot with Golang and also encountered the tendency towards globals being the recommended path. Specifically, I encountered it with logging, frameworks( Gin ), and DBs. It is interesting to me that you called

Whatever. You obviously don't follow what I am saying at all so why bother.

Could we tone down the spin on titles originating from our own community? Whether HN is an eyesore or not as is is a matter of personal opinion. A better title I think would be "Dark mode for Hacker News" That doesn't put per

The claim in the article, which is believable, is that many people either don't want to get the vaccine or don't show for some other reason during a single day. For some unknown additional reason, doses within that day are suppose

You're right. The earth is clearly flat and that is a sensible assumption if you haven't left your local area or been in space or seen a picture from space. Or not. Flat earthers are quacks. It is the same principle essentially. I

Recorded history only goes back to 2600 BC. TLDR summary of article: Plain observation only shows 6 stars not 7 because the 7th is quite dim and close to one of the other stars. 100k years ago it would have been further away from the others

The person in the article doesn't seem to be in a high risk group. They state they pedaled their bicycle 5 miles to reach the scene. I get that the virus is dangerous for everyone, but I think those of us who are younger and generally

1. Google doesn't own or control "the internet". They can change Google Chrome however they want; so long as they are plenty of us who don't want whatever crap they are peddling we can and will continue to use the intern

Neither the title nor the summary say anything about the "observable universe". They make broad claims beyond that. The detail of the article in no way mentions that there could very well be infinite duplicates of what we see out

This is my point. We have no evidence either way, so it seems strange to me to blindly claim "this is everything".

My main response to this article is essentially the same question. I think the article is presuming some things to come to this conclusion. The main thing that is being presumed is the "big bang". If you proscribe to believing in

Um. What? Is this the new "the earth is flat"? Space is infinite. I believe it goes on forever in every direction. Whether you can see whatever is out there from here in no way proves that it isn't...

I do have multiple blogs and multiple Twitters, both under my real name and additional aliases. I unfortunately am not able to centralize these identities. Even this HackersNews login is a throwaway experiment of mine. I have never been abl

Yes I agreed that for my experience and ability I get paid badly. It is one of the reasons I am a rather bitter and angry person. On the other hand, I still make a lot of money compared to the majority of people. This is little consolation

The recent release of the details of Signal stack requirements is rather damning. I actually agree based on it that they are likely doing things badly. I don't though think that Musk had that information when he made his off the cuff p

This world gives zero shits about those with potential. Technology would be 100x what it is today if humans would stop being selfish assholes ( such as the vaunted hero of all of you, Musk ). Those who believe in the current structure of so

A true visionary does not require technology, or at least definitely not computers.

As a child I took math books to bed with me. I only got a single question wrong on the math portion of the SAT, and frankly SAT math is extremely easy. I just wasn't taking it seriously enough. I took Calculus my first semester and sco

Paxil is an SSRI. They are ineffective in treating what is wrong with me. They also make me feel suicidal. I can't take them. The doctors who recommended SSRI in my youth have no fucking idea what is wrong with me. The only thing I&#x2

There is no "either-or" data type in Golang. That's why. It can only be accomplished by inefficient functional hackery. In C, you just make a struct, have a type present in the struct, and then cast the struct pointer to exte

I don't need any self analysis to know why I have so much hatred. I'm well aware to begin with. What you should be considering is what on earth made me this way.

by permille42 6y ago
Sure, but so long as anyone cares to continue this silly debate I'm happy to oblige them. My hate is stronger than whatever silly arguments you all seem to be able to come up with to prove Musk is great.

If he knows so much about scaling he should know that, in most cases, the crappy quality of most server side code is irrelevant because it can be compensated for. If he was the amazing businessman that he pretends to be he would make a conv

I would be delighted to be banned from all technology for eternity. I would wear the ban like a badge of honor and devote my life to the advancement of something more noble such as mathematics.

There is a big difference between what you communicate broadly as a public figure and random comments under a throwaway. Linus has said many attacking things publicly under a position of authority. What I say here bears no weight because if

Interfaces don't allow polymorphism, because they don't allow you to change the underlying data. The main problem is that you can't ( or at least aren't supposed to ) use any pointers and especially not pointers that poi

I agree that the "tokens" themselves are rather fluid. I still think that there is a difference between the tokens that is somewhat hardcoded into the way the system of our mind is setup. Information I've seen/heard&#x2F

Hmm. Alright I'll buy that. That is at least a sensible reason why this reached front page. It still disgusts me that we are elevating random tweets from this guy to being major news. Please can we elevate tiny ideas of people who know

No. My point isn't to use security on top of existing DNS records. My point is to make a brand new distributed system entirely that is free for all instead of run by a bunch of greedy internet thugs.

Being a CTO doesn't mean you have any value as a software engineer. Hell I was offered a role as a CTO. I turned that shit down. Babysitting others is not my forte, nor is spending my time running a business instead of learning more te
