I used Lean for AoC last time and it’s really good.

Re:The Xteink X4 E-Ink Reader on Thursday June 25, 2026 @03:52AM (#48670292)

I've got the X3 (not having a usb-c hasn't been a problem at all for me). And I'll probably buy whatever they release next if the price keeps being in that range. The only thing I want is probably a better display (as in whiter, more DPI, colors), yeah and the battery life is awesome, I barely have to charge it at all, I don't want this to change! I really wish they just keep improving on quality of what's already there and not add new things like touch screen, android and whatnot.

Not upgrading my personal iphone/macbook and I wish I didn’t upgrade my work iphone/macbook (unfortunately I had to)

For the first time in 15 years I am considering to not buy apple as my next phone/laptop regardless of the specs.

That's clever! But I still want JS to get the actual pipeline operator.

Just one thing I hate about Copilot is how it needs to be updated two times a day.

Re:My views on NeoHaskell on Tuesday October 03, 2023 @04:02AM (#37749110)

This is how I understand the whole heohaskell thing: some guy comes out of nowhere, spends some time picking fonts for neohaskell's website and then starts churning out github-tickets for this-is-what-a-better-haskell-is-supposed-to-look-like instead of actually doing stuff :)

> Surely whatever money these guys spend buying these zero-days, Apple is rich enough to increase their bounties large enough to attract them to right side instead?

Apple is a commercial organisation with a sole purpose of generating profit. And the bounties are at their equilibrium points already (or at least supposed to be). Apple is rich enough sure, but they will only spend money if this makes Apple even richer.

Ask HN: Examples of Practical Applications of Datalog

Posted by nymalt on Wednesday September 06, 2023 @04:01AM
from the ask-hn dept.

My understanding is that Datalog dialects are basically query-languages. It's just that the data is being stored in a different way, compared to traditional RDBMs.But I am struggling to find any practical examples when Datalog really shines.I feel like Datalog could be a useful tool if I only could recognise problems it is especially well suited for.

Re:Rust Absolutely Positively Sucks [video] on Tuesday August 01, 2023 @09:42AM (#36955833)

There was a nice comment Prime made that it's not only about the ownership model, many people come to Rust for it's type system.

I have a feeling that far too many people go do Rust while what they actually need is OCaml - it's fast, has a nice type system and you don't have to think about lifetimes.

Ask HN: Getting a remote (US only) job from Europe

Posted by nymalt on Friday July 28, 2023 @04:45AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm seeing tons of remote job-postings that are US-remote.Sometimes it's because of the timezones. But I was thinking that probably there is some legal/accounting problem so that the companies just don't want to bother with non-US entities and taking this burden myself would help with that?Wondering if registering a Delaware company (or something like that) could help getting such a job?

Re:Tesla Model Y overtakes Corolla to be world’s best-selling car in 2023 on Friday May 26, 2023 @07:06AM (#36082579)

Reading comments here about Tesla Y. And my impression is that the build quality and everything got substantially better over the years.

Re:Why I Use Elm in 2023 on Tuesday May 23, 2023 @10:21AM (#36044747)

re famous Elm error messages. This one I got when I was learning Elm 4-5 years ago.

  Elm uses a different name for the “not equal” operator:
  
  5|   text "Hello!" != "balbla"
                     ^^
  Switch to (/=) instead.
  
  Note: Our (/=) operator is supposed to look like a real “not equal” sign (≠). I
  hope that history will remember (!=) as a weird and temporary choice.

Wondering if it is just me, or it really is passive-aggressive? It was the first red flag for me.

Didn't Russia (last month) threaten Finland/Sweden with 'consequences' should they decide joining NATO? Wondering what would those be. Putting both countries in a new list of 'very unfriendly countries'?

What they didn’t tell you in the article is that a lot of householdings in Oslo use firewood to keep their houses warm during the cold season.

People unloading firewood from their Tesla X/Audi e-tron is a usual sight in Oslo.
