I’m also a big fan of rails, but I’ve experienced a lot of problems scaling it. A lot of the problems ultimately came down to the simple fact that Ruby is really, really slow. At a certain scale you end up forced to…
Not even close to FAANG level compensation in my experience. I’m just a moderately experienced backend/infra person and VC backed startups would straight up tell me they can’t compete when I told them what FAANGs had…
Wait, so your investors lose money, your employees (probably just a few) got at most $80k, and you get to retire? I mean, congrats on the hustle, but I wouldn’t waste your time trying to make it look good for everyone…
Which of course didn’t happen hear - Biden is on track to win by a clear electoral and popular margin. Florida in 2000 was decided by hundreds of votes though.
It’s not pretending. In fact, web application hosts are a great candidate for replacement with faster languages because it can have an immediate impact on infra costs.
You might be surprised by just how slow and bloated a simple rails or Django app can be! But the real benefit for me is reliability. With rust web apps, I feel a lot more confident that runtime errors have been properly…
It doesn’t “mean nothing”, it’s another data point. If you see test positivity rate remaining low but cases increasing - which we do in many areas with sufficient testing - then it does suggest more people are getting…
It’s just a political thing. You see the same behavior in threads about climate change. A seemingly innocuous comment to you is a firebrand political statement to someone who thinks the virus is a hoax or whatever.
That was true until last week. Deaths are now rising again, and daily new cases are approaching the level of the summer peak.
This post reminds me of a younger me. The experience I got working hours like this at jobs like this was not as good as I thought. It was shallow and rushed, every cuttable corner was cut. And ultimately, it wasn’t…
Come on, that’s bordering on the kind of contentless dismissal you see in right wing propaganda today. Someone already provided examples contradicting your assertions, and others have accurately explained that defending…
Has there been much progress with the D borrow checker? It always comes up in these threads but it seems to still be missing some key features (parameterized lifetimes for example). What’s the timeline for this landing…
It’s both ethical and statistical. If you observe a strong enough effect, you can reach significance with less data. When people are dying, sometimes you throw a Hail Mary.
Some people try to approach an employment relationship as one of good faith, rather than an adversarial one where you try to do the minimum amount of work without getting fired. Plus, investing in your craft has long…
That’s not the problem, it’s having to manage a bunch of sets of credentials, and the logistics of pushing updates through multiple stores. Both are obviously solvable problems but definitely annoying barriers to…
Why are other countries with comparatively less free markets and more regulations not experiencing this problem in a greater degree? Shouldn’t we be doing better if it’s really as simple as less government = better…
I don’t think the genuine content publishers who go out of business win.
Everyone wants to return to normal, but there’s still a pandemic. “We’ll open the bars when it’s safe” isn’t a satisfying answer but what good would lying about a timeline be?
German elections are considerably more legitimate. For one, opposition politicians aren’t poisoned.
I think you’re underestimating the number and quality of restaurants that are easily accessible in say a mixed used NYC neighborhood vs what’s within a 30 minute drive of a Houston suburb. Especially if you aren’t a fan…
Don’t you think it’s a little hyperbolic to compare the ownership of human beings to running some software on your computer?
I don’t think 20 year olds avoid this path because they lack your insight, it’s probably more that most people can’t get $200k from their parents to start a business.
I don’t know if that’s true otherwise but webgl is supported by safari on iOS.
I have only ever seen this usage by people pointing out that this is what it “actually” means.
Complaining about the use of unsafe as a “gotcha” is a common canard used by people who often don’t understand what it means. On HN at least, it’s usually not a substantial criticism.
