Re:Ask HN: Is Knuth's TAOCP worth the time and effort? (2023) on Tuesday November 28, 2023 @08:16AM (#38445359)
No, most of this is made trivial and redundant today.

Understanding your std library performance is lot more important

It's their OS. Seems like an odd issue.

New UI and VSC envy are good, it's already better than the old point-and-click adventure game UI they had.

AI thing will be good too. It's not more of a security nightmare or different than SO assuming that the IDE isn't leaking secrets.

Re:Inconvenient Truths about TypeScript on Tuesday July 18, 2023 @09:50AM (#36772194)
It's awful to incorporate as part of a project (all the configuration for compilation, mapping errors etc.). It's also extremely complex language with plenty of footguns. The required TS tooling is also an argument against it.

Are they bad, or are they bad because they don't torture the text to fit modern day sensibilities and npc iq?
Re:TypeScript please give us types on Friday July 07, 2023 @04:17PM (#36637734)
Modern TS code is hard for me to read and reason, and I use Rust, Haskell, C++. Way too complex for my brain
Why? Most companies require skills in frameworks and libraries. The fact you can glue them together shows a different skill, that you'll most likely use in job daily.

This feels so forced. Make a joke CV, strip it of any mentions of these "bad" things, try applying. Good luck.

Yes it's true. Changing mind aliases with being easily suggestible.

There are even studies about how gut bacteria can affect brain. Mind-Body distinction is a dead end philosophycel cope.

It's not really complex enough to require a full university course, is it now.

Re:Brave Browser introduces vertical tabs on Friday June 02, 2023 @03:21AM (#36162121)
Tabs are entirely useless and wrong abstraction. Look at VSCode, you just use Command Palette to search for anything. That's good
Re:EPUB 3.3 becomes a W3C recommendation on Tuesday May 30, 2023 @10:16AM (#36125149)
2023 and still no good epub reader for Windows. Such a shame Microsoft removed it from Edge.
Re:Rust has been forked to the Crab Language on Tuesday May 30, 2023 @06:02AM (#36123043)
Rust was always a corporation/FAANG language when you looked at contributors and sponsors, so it's probably not real reason, I mean it is clear async was rushed out for AWS/Amazon and everyone celebrated it nonetheless.

People like to hide motives

Re:Will deep understanding still be valuable? on Thursday May 25, 2023 @01:51AM (#36067442)
It's not even valuable now, it's why we use abstractions and rely on interfaces.

"How does it work" rarely brings value.

Re:CS 61B Data Structures, Spring 2023 UC Berkeley on Tuesday May 16, 2023 @07:20AM (#35960228)
Is there a point for working programmer to learn these in 2023, rather than just treating them as abstract interfaces?
Probably have enough data to judge WFH experiment as failed.

That it's not ready for prod when it's a public repo in GitHub
Re:RedisRaft on Sunday May 07, 2023 @03:38AM (#35848885)
This is essentially a complete fabrication. If it's on public repo, ready or not, someone will use it for prod.
