Re:Go ahead, write the “stupid” code on Sunday September 28, 2025 @09:35PM (#45409647)
To avoid writing stupid code since they will see qualified people put reason on why some codes are "garbage" (I'm not saying this).

That's why. If all codes in a project are stupid, there's no stupid code indeed relatively.

Go read Linux kernel mailing list.

Re:WASM 3.0 Completed on Wednesday September 17, 2025 @04:48PM (#45281238)
i found assembly is easier to assemble from scratch (it's apple and orange but.). Most materials should exclude these tooling, mostly rust based tools. We should be able to write them by hands just like when assembly was taught. Compiler and assembly are separate classes. I think it's bad assumption that only compiler devs only care about wasm. It's compiling target, sure, but framing it this way will not broaden its knowledge.
Re:Offline-First Landscape – 2025 on Friday August 29, 2025 @11:51PM (#45071774)
These topic and mentioned tools always fail to demonstrate how sync engine works in multiple players modes. And mostly only for backend written in TS/JS, worse it's only for using with 3rd service (which you couldn't put your business logic in here). The first thing i scan in these tools' docs are how they handle write conflict whose conflict is semantic level, not data exchange format level.
Tried to adopt this last month at work, it failed. E.g. the mentioned Automerge, it has poor docs https://automerge.org/docs/reference/library_initialization/... and that left out a lot of question, it seems backend agnostic but have to figure out how to store, how to broadcast ourselves.

many such as cases, it's clear why. People hate doing task x, because it's not fun nor valuable to them, but need to do because of duty.
Re:My AI skeptic friends are all nuts on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @09:53AM (#44170180)
Ironically all nuts friends seem to be talking less, less defensive than other nuts friends who keep talking about other people not buying what they believe nuts.
Re:Progressive JSON on Sunday June 01, 2025 @09:07AM (#44150595)
Thanks Dan. Yes, I agreed on the ui part, it seems to work in most cases. Some html tags have relation like `<datalist>` or `[popover]` attribute, but if we make all kind of relations trivial then it's benefit for sure.
Re:Progressive JSON on Sunday June 01, 2025 @04:21AM (#44149411)
It's useless as data is not just some graphic semantic, they have relation, business rules on top, not ready to interact with if not all are ready, loaded.
Looks neat, the first thing I search for in the docs is:

    Unique indexes  Not currently supported. Requires query rewriting and separate execution engine to validate uniqueness across all shards.
But still looks promising.
Re:OpenAI O3 breakthrough high score on ARC-AGI-PUB on Saturday December 21, 2024 @03:58AM (#42478368)
Honestly, it doesn't need to be local, API is some 200ms away is ok-ish, make it 50ms it will be practically usable for every majority of interaction.
Re:My second year without a job on Tuesday December 10, 2024 @07:19AM (#42376160)
Indie startup (or just simply call it "selling app online") is not bad if your "capital is lower than $1M" AND "desirable MRR at $10k". You can beat $1M capital, 10% return .. by making $10k MRR SaaS instead.
Re:My second year without a job on Saturday December 07, 2024 @05:00AM (#42348604)
Yep, 2024 market is considerably too good though. When he about to quit, I'd expect 8% yield (pessimistic) per year, so $6.4k/yr or $533/mo, that's "good" living quality in non major cities in Thailand. But to be fair, it's only good for locals, not for foreigners. And that $80k also needs to be invested 1 year before quitting.

It's doable for extending up to 3x of his runway.

Re:Two million checkboxes (written in Elixir) on Friday June 28, 2024 @01:31PM (#40822873)
tbh, the 2m app is more clunky than the OG 1m. Virtual scroll is very poor. Jump doesn't seem to work (it works just sometimes).
Re:Show HN: Million 3 – Optimizing compiler for React on Saturday February 03, 2024 @11:28PM (#39247622)
I feel like this is all missing the points. The point is React is mid. Engineering metric is very strange these days. A guy has made your tool wicked fast, dismissed - fast enough .. wat?
Re:The web will be Vision Pro's killer app on Sunday January 21, 2024 @10:30AM (#39079296)
I wonder at what point Vision Pro is highly portable that we don't have to care about small screen ui/ux. Excited for a fancy excel app on this device..
Re:Ask HN: Why isn't Phoenix/Elixir more mainstream? on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @10:15PM (#37760080)
Look at other languages, they all have their culture to make stuff. Elixir is my goto, but we haven't had the vibe of building/shipping things into the world.
Re:My solopreneur story: zero to $45K/mo in 2 years on Sunday September 24, 2023 @05:19AM (#37631420)
I mute all of these guys who have posted 10 times+ a day. If everyone doing this, there will be lots of garbage.
Re:My solopreneur story: zero to $45K/mo in 2 years on Sunday September 24, 2023 @04:50AM (#37631272)
I mute a lot of these accounts that try to farm me as their audience. I used to engage some, they just don't care to reply at all. And they are annoying real fast. Imaging you have 10 posts of garbage a day / influencer
Re:My solopreneur story: zero to $45K/mo in 2 years on Sunday September 24, 2023 @04:47AM (#37631258)
Tbh, this is very repetitive story .. seen 100 times before.
Re:My solopreneur story: zero to $45K/mo in 2 years on Sunday September 24, 2023 @04:40AM (#37631220)
And these accounts don't care about us at all, they only want to farm us. They don't even engage our replies.
How is this better than the Playwright's locator picker in debug mode?
Re:How to Sell Elixir Again (2023) on Saturday May 13, 2023 @03:14PM (#35931692)
You have to provide how your view looks like, because a large part of memory consumption coming from diffs that server keeps. Each session will have their similar diffs.
Re:How to Sell Elixir Again (2023) on Saturday May 13, 2023 @03:09PM (#35931622)
Yes, and it's almost impossible outside the US or EU.
Re:How to Sell Elixir Again (2023) on Saturday May 13, 2023 @03:07PM (#35931600)
I bet you are in US or EU.
General response to this is assuming the contrarians don't like type or see no type benefit. But there are those who love static typing enough to dislike Typescript. It's ugly and unsound, how could someone loves static type to death likes Typescript.
Re:The Status Trap on Sunday April 02, 2023 @10:58PM (#35418015)
Yes, I'm about to say it's not a trap. It's a jail! Trying to avoid status makes your life quality worse, more restrict ways of doing things. It's narrower in all directions. It is a jail.
Looks almost right. This is quite close to what I keep in mind. At the end of the day let's creating html tags but as semantic shape visually. I don't think I would include spacing stuff like width/height margin/padding. Just plain visual utilities .. that can be composed in different ways to form a new type .. like ML style type. Hard to explain, just assume I'm shit talking.
Re:React.gg – An interactive way to master modern React on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @10:16PM (#35351331)
Oracle or SAP vibe to me. I shake my head every day on React code base. My personal js heavy project is so nice all logic functions are testable individually, the views are clean. All effects are at boundary .. no waterfall shits!
Re:Rust Is a Scalable Language on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @08:15PM (#35350104)
assembly/c/c++/perl/ruby/elixir/elm/js are "pretty ok" to me no matter how long I had written with. python is absolutely not ok to me .. always think "really?" I want to write it in another way, but it can't be.
