Currently looking for a new full-term employment gig in Vestfold, Norway.
Former engineer at IMVU. I got to work on 3D graphics, a massively scalable website, low-level optimization, and lots of Python, JavaScript, C++, and PHP.

A good place to start with kids that age is Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/ The visual programming style may turn off experienced programmers, but it's a full game engine, there is a big community of other kids out…
Even better Scrabble-Word: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qat
What the article proposes is an extreme position, and while I don't agree that the entire web can work this way, a lot of it can. Look at the page you're currently viewing (hacker news): It's by no means a terrible…
I believe the point was that you probably don't need the user to make an account. If they don't need an account, they have no password, and you need no email address, unless your true goal is to put as many people as…
This is a point that should have been made in the author's article. As it is, it presents a poorly defined problem without offering solutions (other than "be afraid").
Incidentally, this is where the idea of writing a journal paid of, because even though keys were getting corrupted in memory, the journal was fine, and after the bugfix, read back nicely and recreated the keys.
Don't you love it when you announce your project to the world, only to spot a massive bug immediately after? Let me reiterate everything I already said about people not using this for critical data, because it's…
The source code is there for anyone to do whatever they like with it. Of course you could use this in-process and strip away the server logic, it's even split into source files to make that easy (nosql.[hc] are the…
It all depends on your stack. I think of a full-stack programmer as someone who can dive into any level of the application to fix something. If you have a classic app that is javascript in the front, PHP in the back,…
It's a Raspberry 1 Model B, the 512 MB version. So with any luck, I will see how this code performs once it runs out of memory? https://imgur.com/gallery/XI3Rul6 I've got a RPi 2B sitting here that I want to fail over…
I did not know that! This is some cool trivia.
Thanks for the upvote and the compliment! There isn't all that much code, just enough for a toy project, and what there is, is written with maintainability in mind. Not sure what kind of tutorial I could have read. I've…
I learned a ton of things doing this (not least how to post something on HN, and that Show HN exists). Can't say that for Minecraft.
I figured every full-stack programmer worth his salt should try to write his own database at least once, no?
