Hey fellow nerds!

I'm building an online course to learn to build apps for the cloud in Go. It covers Go project basics, database integration and migrations, job queues, email communication, and later blob storage integration, observability, and more. Check it out if that sounds interesting! It's commercial, but everything available now is free, no signup required.

I'm writing it on a course platform I've also built myself. I love the freedom it gives me to try out fun features and sculpt the course however I like. Plus, I'm dogfooding what I'm writing. This is my first successful project as a solo developer and founder, and I'm quite proud of it.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

The trading community walk on a knife edge all the time, it's not a place for the faint of heart. I used to support derivatives trading systems and a few times there were issues that meant they'd lost control of orders on an exchange. Scary stuff. It requires a crazy mixture of careful, deliberate, calculated risk control on the one hand; but once you commit to something you jump in with both feet and throw everything into it.

You need to be both meticulously risk averse, and also willing to do whatever needs to be done when it needs doing, and accept responsibility. It was great!
From go, this article is bullshit. Yes, I flagged it, and yes, it's against guidelines to say this, but no, I don't think this should be on HN's front page, and it should be flippantly dismissed.

Briefly, the article is an opinion piece crafted to stoke outrage. It is crafted to make you stupider. It does not give you full access to all the information for you to make your own informed opinion about what's going on. It is clickbait, and not worthy of your attention.
Also mixed in with strawman.

> Exaggerating (sometimes grossly exaggerating) an opponent's argument, then attacking this exaggerated version.

The claim in this case being, "residents should have reasonable access to sunlight in their rooms." And the exaggeration being penthouses.
And on the other hand, limited tools spark the creativity to create something better. I've been learning kicad recently and it is damn hard to resist the urge to start a project to make a better tool..
Exactly that, plus it doesn't really serve well as platform. I mean VSCode renders Markdown previews correctly, not some ASCII based approximation. It renders images if I happen to click on one. Extensions can actually provide decent UI, thank's to that CSVs never looked better in my text editors.
Munger is a real proponent of Chinese-style capitalism and generally praises the idea of social-credit systems.

It only makes sense that his architecture style would also favor brutalism. He probably repurposed some of the designs of the old commie-blocks from eastern europe.
Why does it take $200 million to build a dorm building?

I know it's in Santa Barbara, but even still - that seems like an excessive amount of money.
TV has a disadvantage of not being able to be opened.

However in fifty years we might not want to open the windows anyway.
I'm a Brit so it's it's a bit different here but... I was glad to have the option to stay in a shitty little room with no ensuite and bare brick walls at the bottom a of steep hill that campus was atop. It saved me 1000s of pounds over people who paid literally twice as much just to have gold coloured taps.

Since my day that option has been removed because the government have decreed everyone have their own toilet and shower. But the result is kids in vastly more debt.
Nice "journalism" with that headline.
I live in the Netherlands. Being able to walk to the supermarket in 10mins is very common. What you call privilege, we just call urban planning.
Just looking at the Stanford residence and it seems to have incredibly bright windowed rooms (maybe they're not showing the windowless ones?)[0]

Wages there are high for skilled workers who can sell their work on the global market, like tech workers, but people are tired of the herd stupidity of the population, political corruption, the incompetente of government institutions, underfunded healthcare, useless police, etc. so they pack up and leave even though they'll take a hit on lifestyle frivolities.
We are absolutely being forced. Perhaps you didn't realise, but lots of kids were on Google Classroom, Zoom, etc last year during lockdown.

This metaverse BS aims to be an even more contained aggregation of all this. If you watch the presentation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9vWShsmE20), its meant to include all aspects of one's life.

Talk about lock in!
He's exaggerating (or maybe it's the case at UCSB), since it's usually only true for first year undergraduate (among "traditional" students starting right high school. I think older students usually live off campus). As for relationships, most people end their high school relationship before college, or the two go to a different college, so it's long distance.

I actually found it formative to be forced to share that space and resolve (inevitable) tensions that arise. And since it's usually randomized, you end up with someone you might not have normally met. Of course some people have bad experiences, and can request re-assignment.
> Ideally one day TypeScript would take JavaScript's place, but no browser vendor seems keen on the idea.

Oh god I hope not. JavaScript is hopefully here to stay, and will remain the runtime of the web together with WASM.

TypeScript is a neat idea for enterprise companies where engineering standards tend to not be that great, but that doesn't mean we should lower the possibilities of the current runtime to the lowest common denominator.
Sorry, was that sarcasm or a genuine answer?
It's hard to tell just by text.

That’s just what a robot would say! /s

That said, if you really can’t tell, does it matter? Shouldn’t we be judging comments on their content, not on who (or what) we think wrote them?
I think the whole idea is to stop you having relationships...
The fact extensions in other editors are written in Java or TypeScript do not make it any easier to write them.

In any case, learning Lisp is useful, even if you never write an Emacs plugin.
It is really interesting for me - this 'it's nonsense most of the time' part. (As I mentioned in another comment, I work doing Voice Dialogue, which is basically meeting those voices in you and talking with them.)

I shouldn't write it here, but just try talking to them. Ask 'who are you?' to one of them and wait for the answer.

Of course one could say that this is indiscriminate chatter due to activity of parts of your brain, but I would still insist that if you make an effort you will see patterns in this noise and will be able to make sense of it and change it (where sense is not directly in the content, but rather in a broader view of it all).

As I work with myself and other people, I have never experienced anything like prolonged presence of a voice taking qualities of "someone I know in real life" - I would be curious to find whys and hows here.

But the very simple framework of recognizing kinds of energies inside us (agressive vs. delicate, goal oriented vs. being oriented, protecting/conservative (even protective of accessing other energies inside) vs. seeking/adventerous and so on) and states they are in (is energy on/off, over the limit, so on)... has showed me time and again that trying to get in touch with them by engaging in a conversation with them brings remarkable results.

All the best.
They don't evolve much, the mitochondrial DNA is very conserved and compact (~16kbp vs ~3Gbp for the entire human genome). Not many levers you can mutate and end up with viable organism.
Not to be nit-picky, but I'd just add the caveat "having sex while not married has become fashionable in the last 50 years, after a few hundred years of Catholic puritanism"... Sex outside of marriage has been extremely acceptable in many non-western societies at basically all stages of human development.
API Management does too little, Back end as a Service does too much
I'd say that revealing a phone number is probably worse than a matrix ID. But indeed, it would be nice if miatrix clients from element would support multiple identities.

Then you can join a room with a disposable account.

I have been using emacs for 7 years prior to switching to VS Code. Never looked back. It's better in all regards.
Default angular builds are large compared to other frameworks even when you consider all the extra stuff that gets bundled with angular.

5MB is large for a single bundle, I'd say if you are using lazy loaded modules 2MB for a single module is large.

Front-end performance varies in importance based on your context. In e-commerce performance is tied to conversion so it's very important. If you're a government contractor building CRUD apps, it's not as important.
Are you saying that corporations are exempt from moral responsibility?
Hi hobr, the version on Setapp is already M1 native.

(Make sure you upgraded the app to the latest version 1.12)
First is example of buying innovation from outside. Fb acquisition did not add innovation to Oculus. It was just throwing money to get into business.

Second is not their business innovation. It's open source. They do also good research.

The Edges of Cutting-Edge Languages
Yeah, IIRC I lived in (that) Munger for a year, and had a large, windowed bedroom and bathroom to myself. My 3 roommates had the same, and we shared a living room and kitchen. Not really anything like this new building.
Emacs was founded in the 1970s. There is a lot of legacy in there, but IMHO it still holds up as a very powerful and nice text editor.

“If you need a dedicated tutorial for a text editor it's a great sign that something is very wrong with its design, particularly concerning discoverability.”

I don’t agree. If it was a mass-market product for users who just wants something convenient, then I would agree. Those users are probably better served by other applications. (Word, Evernote, OneNote, Notepad++ etc etc) But Emacs is a power tool for power user. Therefore I think it’s okay that it needs a tutorial to get started. You need to invest some time to learn in. That will, in my experience, pay off greatly in the long run.

Let’s take an example from another domain:

Suppose someone wants to get started with 3D Graphics. I’m pretty sure software like Blender and Maya also needs some kind of tutorial in order to be useful.
It may be, based on my experience as that tech lead who declines everything, that the tech lead has already thought of all this many times over many years, has tried to implement the required changes, yet gets blocked by higher ups. And it may even be that those higher ups sometimes know it too, and deny him based on their higher ups.

A lot of times learned helplessness is true helplessness with learned resignation.

Not sure about a fallacy but he's essentially saying: because it can't be the best option, the worst is acceptable.

It's as if there aren't options in between and this isn't just optimization and greed run amuck against the human condition. It reminds me of one of the newer plane seating layouts I saw with alternating seats.

You know, it would be even more optimal if they didn't actually live in the building at all and just sent him money every week, wouldn't he like that even more?
It's difficult to discover a command with the command palette if you don't already know what they've called it.

I dunno, I'm old. I use directories and folders and hierarchical organization instead of searching when I'm allowed to.

VS Code is offputting enough and different enough in conventions from everything else I use that I don't have a great deal of interest in learning it's idiosyncrasies where they depart from standard UX.
Not just the UK, but virtually everywhere in the developed world.

New apartments are being built because it's more and more profitable to do so. It's more profitable, because the property prices are increasing. The property prices are increasing because rent is increasing. It takes tremendous mental gymnastics not to realise it.

The way to lower the rent is to make renting less profitable (eg. by taxing it higher), limit any homeowner support (eg. tax breaks on mortgage) only to the first residential property and control the mortgage amount that can be provided by banks.

Ideally someone who's buying property to live in should be paying 20%+ less than someone who's buying it to rent.
You need dedicated tutorials, or equivalents, for all complicated tools and machinery. The power of Emacs (with respect to text editing capabilities) comes from mastering, by committing to muscle memory, a large number of key sequences. There's no easy way to do this- it takes time and effort (100% worth the payoff imo).
To be fair your example would be unsafe with and kind of time API.

The APIs provided by TrueTime and Time Sync are useful to compare two events, each with their own uncertainty intervals. Then you can be sure if any event "happened before" the other, or if they're concurrent.
Did he buy or rent the apartment recently and from his own savings+income? Many such stories involve an old rental contract, a family-owned apartment or sizeable inheritance.
I like it. It's funny, beautiful, well executed and something you notice and remember.

But as a resume, I have a few notes from my imaginary hiring desk:

You built a resume with 3D graphics, which is definitely something, but I don't know if its "3D expert"-something.

I don't know what you want to convey with that title, and I don't really have a takeaway from your resume of what I can expect of you in terms of 3D. Do you do animations/modeling? Programming of rendering engines? Are you a three.js wrangler? Basically your 3D experience, according to your resume, is "built a resume in 3D".

Doing a PhD in AI is sufficient to call yourself an AI expert, I suppose, but I was expecting some relevant professional experience, or some talks/publications at a known conference, from that title.

But with that being said, I'd probably want to invite you to an interview, if for nothing else, at least to satisfy my curiosity :)
> If you're a government contractor building CRUD apps, it's not as important.

I'm far from that, but "5MB is very large" to me is ludicrous. Press "play" on a Netflix movie and you're over that benchmark straight away.

I grew up in the era of sub-56k modems.

Just searching Google for "56k modems" returns 5.1 MB of data with an ad-blocker on.

Let's be realistic.
Do you have experience with this? Playing around with PTP has been on my TODO list for quite a while, but it seems to be quite a hassle.

At home, I already have a GPS module with its PPS pin connected to an Pi running an NTP server. In my data center, I use clock.sjc.he.net and that's about as good as NTP gets. Certainly good enough for one-way latency measurements.

Are there any SBCs with hardware timestamping and a PPS input? I've heard mixed reviews of the BeagleBone Black as a PTP server. Then again, even if I get that working I have no way to run PTP in the data center since there's no GPS reception in the cabinets.

I am sorry that we made such a bad impression on you. Yes, the three different user interfaces (konsoleH, Robot, and Cloud Console), can take some time to get used to, and can be quite unintuitive at first glance. [Robot is for unmanaged dedicated root servers and products related to these servers; konsoleH is for managed products and exotic domains that usually require more support for registrations; and Cloud Console is for our cloud servers and related products.] Our company has been working on trying to slowly integrate these to make it easier for customers to use them. We're making progress step by step.
Unfortunately, technicians who are familiar with our systems sometimes forget how confusing they can be for new (and existing) customer. In my English classes to improve customer service, I really emphasize the importance of trying to see things from the customers point of view. And I will continue to push my colleagues to do that. --Katie
The article applies to farmers markets too. By any measure, farmers markets are better than supermarkets and takeout. Cheaper, faster, more convenient (if there's one nearby), more friendly, cleaner, healthier, but talk about their benefits and prepare to be called privileged and lectured on single moms in food deserts who only have time for McDonald's.

Do they think people at farmers markets want to wall them off and keep poor people away? A moment's thought and they'd realize everyone involved is trying to fill in food deserts, reduce big agriculture subsidies, that McDonald's is causing poverty in time and money, but their defensiveness and I'm-so-smart-ness blinds them.
What I like about Emacs is the things you learn from it. The “config file” is a program, not a JSON or INI file. This allows the user to add functions to the editor very easily.

For instance, one of the first tricks I taught Emacs to do was to find the right font size so I could have at least 80 columns on a window. It was a bit of work, and needs to contemplate some corner cases, but it’s really cool to be able to do that in your config file.

This is a pattern other programs and frameworks use. It’s relatively normal in Python to import configuration from a settings.py file that’ll do whatever is appropriate to get the information (a bucket with an INI file, constants declared in code, a local settings_devel.py file…)
It's bullshit. Your own dorm room is not "unheard of" in the US. Depends on the school. Undergrad freshmen almost always have a roommate, and seniors almost never.

My undergrad experience: by policy, freshmen had roommates, sophomores and above lived alone unless they wanted a roommate.
If you look up into the corner of a website and it shows the Union Jack, that usually indicates the site is in English. It's not really ambiguous.

Personally, I like the flags. After choosing this format of résumé, they can't just spell it all out with letters. It would break the whole design.
I just love vue3 with vite ecosystem. For example: https://github.com/antfu/vitesse/ is a good template to start "modern" webdev. DX is very good.

you can integrate it to a server with ssr: https://github.com/frandiox/vite-ssr
Just no. It is more efficient for me. Really don't care that you don't want to accept that. So take your efficiency argument and scrap it. You want cars and want everything to be optimized for it. That is your actual point and we both know it.
Ad hom would be saying the author smells like moldy cheese and therefore we should disregard his opinion.

The parent comment is not using ad hom. They're critiquing the author's work and assessing their credibility based off of that. It's perfectly fine, and a great viewpoint to consider.

Eight Reasons Python will rule the enterprise
It is expensive for me, personally, but just in the that it is just enough of a price point to encourage me to automate and script these things myself, relative to my income. But I'm surprised to hear that sentiment on here more broadly, don't y'all all have fancy jobs? Also its an osx app, y'all already have macbooks, and $25 is too much?
If you have an office and can put things on speaker phone, the Logitech BCC950 Conference Cam is well worth the money (it’s $164 on Amazon right now).

The camera quality is good (a little short but can be put on a riser), the audio quality is good. The noise cancellation is good.
If you're living somewhere urban that's built out properly you have (or ought to have) doorstep grocery delivery costing $1-$5.

In the UK at least, there are at least 5 competitive services offering that in every city, including most major supermarket chains, so there is no need to shlep, ever. I only go to the supermarket for fresh bread/milk occasionally in between deliveries.
Looks like you’re right! My bad. The Michigan one definitely doesn’t have a window in every room though.
This is how I get FOIA responses. Agencies just remove the pieces they don't want me to see, sometimes with a code to tell me why it was excised. I use the redaction feature built into Acrobat.
It does seem that if a function can’t fit with this new expanded capability, it probably is complex enough to warrant a name.

Assuming that Python’s support for nested functions carries over to Coconut, it seems like a reasonably-complete feature set.
"they lubricate". The same applies to some men(dominatrix, mistress, bdsm). How to reason this? My point is this is not gender specific.

That wiki article is quite discursive, but I think about it as "what would evolution need to invent to keep human parents together long enough that their kids didn't die in early infancy", it would need to be strong, but precisly because of that, it probably couldn't last longer than a few years.
The things Westminster have done to persuade themselves people don't want Oxford Street pedestrianised.
This undifferentiated torrent of anger is diluting the message. I am not naive so I also expect the zuckerverse to be a laughingstock at best and very sinister at worst, but let them actually build it first. By being so critical before it even exist you are only sending the message "we will hate it irrespective of what it actually is because we hold a grudge".

Furthermore I think the "metaberg is a nefarious spy" messaging should be separated from the "living in VR is toxic even in concept" messaging, because I believe the former but explicitly not the latter, and I want to be able to be critical about the implementation of this while still being excited about the concept (and hoping it can be implemented humanely on top of open protocols)
