I can't believe this is what hackernews has become. This kind of stuff is at the top.
Re:Most RESTful APIs Aren't RESTful
on Wednesday July 09, 2025 @11:53AM (#44511598)
I recall having to maintain an integration to some obscure SOAP API that ate and spit out XML with strict schemas and while I can't remember much about it, I think the integration broke quite easily if the other end changed their API somehow.

It's just an API that utilizes DNS, not that interesting imo.
Re:Finland announces migration of its rail network to international gauge
on Tuesday May 20, 2025 @05:44AM (#44039672)
I'd like to have high speed railways in my country, not some decades long political conversion project. If we need railways that can go across the borders of our neighboring countries, build new ones instead of upgrading existing ones.
Re:The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source

You can run multiple linux distros on linux just fine via KVM/QEMU, there is nothing special WSL offers except that it is a must if you're doomed to use windows.
Re:Rust Dependencies Scare Me
on Saturday May 10, 2025 @06:25AM (#43944558)
I think CMake is the perfect balance. You need to write few lines and think about few things before adding a dependency, but usually nothing too crazy. It might not work the first try but that's okay.
Re:Rust Dependencies Scare Me
on Friday May 09, 2025 @06:00PM (#43941319)
Sure, there are various dependencies, but it's nothing like "cargo install crate-name". Cargo makes it so effortless to joink the dumbest dependency for the simplest thing.

on Friday May 09, 2025 @05:55PM (#43941269)
Regardless of language, really? I highly doubt that, you don't generally see such problems with C or even C++ because dependencies are more cumbersome to add, especially in a way that's cross-platform.
Re:docker2exe: Convert a Docker image to an executable
on Wednesday May 07, 2025 @01:04AM (#43912430)
Yeah, it feels like nothing but a little trick. Why would anyone want to actually use this? The exe simply calls docker, it can embed an image into the exe but even then it first calls docker to load the embedded image.

Re:Vramfs: Vram Based Filesystem for Linux
on Sunday March 30, 2025 @06:45AM (#43523088)
Cool, I love that there are ways to utilize RAM and VRAM as filesystems. Sometimes you just don't need all that pure RAM/VRAM.

Re:Planes are having their GPS hacked. Could new clocks keep them safe?

Pardon my ignorance, but do you mean VOR instead of VAR? Or what does VAR stand for in your example?
Re:Planes are having their GPS hacked. Could new clocks keep them safe?

Russia is like a kid playing with matches. I'm a noob when it comes to aviation, but AFAIK RNAV GPS approaches are quite common? Disrupting that is dangerous.

Re:TypeScript enums: use cases and alternatives
on Tuesday January 21, 2025 @06:32AM (#42778986)
Sure, it is optional, but I've seen the unnecessary complexity seep into codebases over time, even though the software was originally elegant and simple.
I'm not sure if such perversions exist, it's been a while already since I touched TypeScript. To me the whole system seems perverted in the sense that an inexperienced developer can easily make things unnecessarily complex.

TypeScript is unnecessarily complex.
Re:Don't use cosine similarity carelessly
on Wednesday January 15, 2025 @12:35PM (#42714155)
In 3D graphics and physics its importance and accuracy are obvious, but I agree that with ML the vector space represents so many different things that using a dot product feels fuzzy. However I barely have any knowledge of ML, so this is just blind intuition of mine based on assumptions.

How complex? I'm no physicist nor an expert at this, but AFAIK we aren't really capable of simulating even a single electron at the quantum scale right now? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Re:I Quit the Tsunami of Burnout Few See
on Saturday January 11, 2025 @04:59PM (#42669252)
I'm currently recovering from burnout and the trick of not caring just does not work for me. This is my 2nd burnout and even though I learned that trick among other things from the 1st, it just does not work because I think it's a problem that stems from my personality. I care too much about various things that are related to my work.

I wonder how much that wire mesh floor distorts the recording result? I guess it must be insignificant, since the walls, ceiling and floor absorb almost all reflected sound waves?
