Thanks. I'm aware of that handbook but somehow I find web-based books lack the charm of a real book but eventually once I know my way around it, I'm sure I'll come to it.

Thanks, I'll probably get it.

Is there a 300-page or less book that can teach practical usage of FreeBSD? Like the C book or the UNIX programming environment book. I have it installed on one of my laptops but never got around to use it.
Re:Ask HN: Using gRPC+protobuf is painful. Any nice-to-use alternatives?

What about ROS? They have pubsub, services (like HTTP), actionlib (basically like a progress event) and message code generation. They also have entire suite for debugging and logging the communications (e.g. rostopic, rosservice, rosbag, etc..). They even have rosbridge_websocket if you need web apps to interact with native apps and servers. They are also building ROS 2 which might be even nicer.

That last answer reminds me of my researcher colleagues :D. Are most them like that?

A lot of them are similar but then you have games like Fortnite which looks totally different.
Re:Google is releasing 20M bacteria-infected mosquitoes in Fresno

I always wondered, how do they count so many mosquitos? Is there a technique to determine that it's 20M?

Does anybody know why Go binary-trees is so much slower than Java's?

I just tried on my Gitlab 8.16 and it seems to be able to do that. If you go to the Code tab, it shows snippets of files that contain the search term.
Re:Our long term plan to make GitLab as fast as possible with Vue and ...
on Tuesday February 07, 2017 @04:00AM (#13588109)
Yeah, being unable to host Gitlab under 512MB is just too bloaty for me. I know Gogs doesn't have this issue for the same features I use. I still use Gitlab though because it's the mainstream.
Re:Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it?

Sorry, one of the first links when I searched for Django on Bing (currently in China) is django-cms.org.
Re:Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it?

I have done little Wordpress development (just some plugin for a prototype that my company wanted). But I don't see anything that prevented it from being used to develop a web application since the theme/plugin system seems to fulfill everything. Django also describes itself as a CMS platform on their website so I kind of thought they are comparable.
Just wanted to make sure I know what I'm getting before I jumps in further into either Wordpress or Django :D
Re:Ask HN: What web framework do you use? Why did you choose it?
on Sunday December 25, 2016 @11:00AM (#13254472)
I've never developed using Django. How does it compare to Wordpress? Or under what situation is it preferable to Wordpress?
Re:Why we chose Vue.js over React
on Monday December 12, 2016 @05:40AM (#13157131)
Interesting. I'm also looking at Vue.js and wondering how it can benefit me. Just one thing that I want to know: how do you do checks and tests in it? Are there any frameworks or tools to do that?
Re:Ask HN: An idea that you could not implement?

I would want to have something like Wikipedia that takes account of the user's context and knowledge to present transformed text that is customized for the user so it's easier to digest.
Re:Count me as a systemd convert

Those are the ones I found too, but the previous parent says that Linus has spoken against systemd which is new to me.
Re:Count me as a systemd convert
on Thursday May 05, 2016 @11:51PM (#11641569)
Could you point to where Linus said he doesn't like the design of systemd? AFAIK he's only disliked the binary logging (perhaps among a few other small things) but he liked it overall.

He used C++ for pragmatic reasons, not for the shiny features (mostly for user interface programming which Qt is best for).

Re:Ask HN: What is the best resource to learn to code?
on Monday April 18, 2016 @04:23AM (#11518426)
http://hello.processing.org/ (probably too basic if you already know how to code)
http://learningprocessing.com/videos/ (more in-depth)
It teaches Processing (which is technically Java). It got me into programming again and maybe it will help you too.

As far as I know, Go already has a really strong static type system (int32 cannot be assigned to int for example). Which parts are weak?
Re:Who Needs Git When You Got ZFS? (2013)
on Tuesday June 10, 2014 @10:28PM (#7876295)
One thing that Git does not do is to track files, for a good reason. Git was designed primarily to track content which means it can track code movement between files and be smarter about compression. It is not limited by architecture of a file system.

No, Chinese word for ninja is 忍者 (ren zhe).
Use "git clone --depth [depth] [remote-url]"?
