News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

That kind of error was expected. I don't see it as an issue against the rewrite. They kept the stable versions on Zig in case ppl needs stability. Eventually, the errors will get fixed.
Re:Popcorn: Run Elixir in WASM on Saturday May 17, 2025 @09:05AM (#44014023)
Congratulations on the project! It works great, until we need to handle the best part of Elixir, that's creating multiple actors.

This Task code, for example doesn't work.

  Enum.map(0..10, fn(_) ->
    Task.async(fn -> IO.puts("new process") end)
  end) |> Task.await_many()

I'm glad this project isgetting bigger. I remember wathcing the creator hacking on it on twitch back in a day.
Obsidian is by far my favorite note taking app of all time. I always try new ones for specific stuff to see how each can improve my productivity daily, but I always stick with it for all my most important things. This canvas product being opensourced and migrateable is great specially for users that try different things like me.
Re:`curl wttr.in`: Weather in your terminal on Friday May 20, 2022 @10:31AM (#31447955)
in ~ 2016 I built a plugin for on-my-fish to simplify the process of curling wttr.in https://github.com/oh-my-fish/plugin-wttr. From today I'm still using this plugin a lot. Checking out the weather on your terminal turns out to be faster than open a weather website or unlock my phone and check in out a weather app.
This is great. I love to see this kind of news. Good teachers are very expensive and there's a of schools that prefers to have mediocre ones and capitalize their earnings.

I'm doing 4 to 6 online courses per year I think it's a great way to spend my money. And I always have the same teachers with me

Re:Superdesk – An End-To-End Platform for News on Tuesday May 03, 2016 @07:05AM (#11619507)
Hey. I work for a large media company also. And I agree with you in everything that you say.

But one thing I got to agree with you, this looks fantastic. I'm willing to try that soon or later cause I just wanna to see the looks and feels.

One thing that I believe tough is that if the platform is extensible enough may be easier to convince media companies to use it. Unfortunately is more a political game than an useful one.

Re:DRYing Elixir Tests with Macros on Wednesday February 17, 2016 @06:19AM (#11117041)
Erlang/elixir is getting some awesome love from hacker news. <3

This is pretty sweet for testing repetitive tasks and also to get starting with macros on elixir.

Re:Fish Shell Design Principles on Tuesday February 16, 2016 @07:03AM (#11109294)
I use fish for a year now. I was actually gonna give a try on fisherman. But I found out that oh-my-fish (which I currently use) repos are down because of one guy that maintain the fisherman and is abusing of DMCA all over oh-my-fish repositories. https://github.com/oh-my-fish/oh-my-fish.

Not gonna give a try on a project that is primary maintained for bad people with bad intentions.

these numbers are great.
Re:JRuby 9000 released on Wednesday July 22, 2015 @02:05PM (#9931263)
Course it is. JRuby has been faster then MRI for a long time. That does not mean I use it for production.
I liked it.

I was planning a product like these for a hackaton, mainly because I wanted to have something alike. Glad someone already made it =D

Omg i didn't see that. Must see the full presentation.
This is really f&ed up. They are clearly against the common user that only wants to use their software. They advocate so much about security but embed a undesired software with their runtime. I really can't understand.
Re:The $30/hr Data Scientist on Sunday March 08, 2015 @03:25PM (#9166820)
Most of the time the job that a Data Scientist does is a job that a 20$/hour graduate worker does. The Big Picture, I think is how to orient a 30$/hour grad. to cooperate with a highly skilled Data Scientist.
Re:Android Studio 1.0 on Tuesday December 09, 2014 @07:49AM (#8722394)
That's totally true. I've been a Java developer for quite a while. And I always find myself struggling with some Eclipse bugs or bad implementations. I downloaded android studio since the very beginning for the Android projects. The more stable interface really helps a lot.
Re:The C++ and programming books I recommend on Sunday February 23, 2014 @03:37PM (#7287470)
I would. C++ is still really important for low level algorithms. One can always do some low level programming with Java or C#. But is not as effective when it's done with Java/C#.

VPN is always great. I'm using http://myhosting.com/ and it is pretty decent
