If you are wondering why not Rust instead of Go, they outline why Rust was not chosen. This is a port not a reimplementation. Many of the data structures can not easily be ported to Rust, such as Nodes with cyclic dependencies. Check the longer interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10qowKUW82U&ab_channel=Michi...
Also, I think the discussion on esbuild's choice of language applies here as well as it has a large similarity. You can find it here on hn

Well done!

You mention the point is to make it portable. Does the project have any other goals, like, what kind of games could be made with it, how fast does it need to be? Do you have any performance metrics to share?

EMT here. CPR rarely works, and sometimes when it does work the result is permanent brain damage so the patient dies the next day anyway.

Nevertheless it's worth doing on people who are having e.g. a sudden cardiac event because you only do CPR on dead people. Which means as long as they died because of some single-point correctable failure, it doesn't hurt to try CPR because it might succeed and that's better than being dead.

OTOH if they died because of multisystem organ failure or distributed catastrophic blunt-force trauma, CPR will never bring them back.

Medical professionals know all this, and as the article points out the moral distress of failed CPR is related not to the fact that it so often fails but that it's inappropriate to even start CPR on an 80 year old patient in a nursing home who has dementia.

You sound like a really unsafe driver who shouldn’t be on the road, period.
Tried it out and it's amazing!

I'm a freelancer working with different clients with a mix of the technologies you listed (Docker/Kubernetes) and I'm using Tailscale for mostly personal use-cases, so this hits all the right spots.

Up until now I proxied most of my stuff on a macOS client via "SSH Tunnel Manager", which has quite a clunky UI, and whenever I have to reconfigure something there the current feedback of the current connection state isn't always right. I just moved all those settings to XPipe, and it works like a charm.

Previously I also used the same solution for accessing some internal websites via a combination of the SSH tunnels + /etc/hosts entries + header rewrites, which depending on the complexity of the websites sometimes works great and sometimes doesn't at all. With XPipe I was easily able to set up a SOCKS proxy, which I previously gave up on trying to figure out. Paired that with FoxyProxy on Firefox and now all the websites work like a charm!

It’s always the same response, c# was crappy but it’s not crappy anymore. Well guess what, Go has been not crappy for a lot longer than C# has been not crappy, maybe that’s part of the reason people like it more.
This happens to me all the time. I am a software engineer, but I have my own (mostly unrelated business) that already fills my schedule and my coffers.

I just say no. I give my friends as much advice as I can, but I won't do any other work. At some point, you get diminishing returns on the extra work you do. Life is short and you can't spend all of it getting richer.
As security nerd working within telecom agreed. Nobody really cares about security issues. And when people already struggle to care about the issues it gets even worse when fixing some of the issues (such as SS7 vulns) requires coordination with telcos around the world. cape[1] at least seems like its a breath of fresh air within the space.

Tangential here.

Here we are, rightfully thrashing a product because of disinformation, while we have a president product doing this on a global scale. Not a peep. It's always the little guy (with the exception of Google at HN) who get gets the flack when they do something wrong.

Misdirection is the most powerful political weapon, and we currently have a criminal making sure only he can wield it, with a fan base that loves the exercise of power, loves to see destruction, all in the name of (power to) Christianity. Christianity was losing so it got on board with a loser. No more "by faith" and "Jesus is the Lord". Now they cheer on the hole the USA is digging for others, only to fall in it themselves. Then "Elon" can save it and establish himself as the emperor of the world. The USA is just a pawn being played right now.

All this while we get upset with a small competitor and by the same rules we can't put our eyes on the big players. Dang, because we can only talk about tech. Well, dang, just make a section where we can go to make X-rated, tangential, comments. Because we sure don't want to go to X.
Thanks! Yes, you can find lifetime licenses on the pricing page further down. A perpetual fallback license model like jetbrains has does not exist yet. But I could look into this in the future.

It's cool to see that there are also other people in that space. And about the complexity, I definitely know what you mean. It took a long while before this approach even worked and also took a while until it was actually stable. One of the main points of consideration whenever I think of adding something is the added complexity, because it's very important for me to keep that as low as possible. Otherwise I will end up with an unmaintainable workload. There were definitely a few interesting features I discarded to keep the application as lean as possible.
That's a great point. The ability to undermine real evidence by claiming it's AI-generated could be just as (if not more) damaging than fake evidence itself

Well, it would necessitate a dedicated conversation. In my opinion, there are better languages and runtimes available today to create such solutions, such as Go and Rust, to name a couple of the most suitable ones.

I believe Java is no longer an appealing choice for these types of tools, but I still like the project and its development process.
> Theory (I live half a world away though)

It has nothing to do with totalitarianism. Anyone who has actually lived in India or China for more than a month, as I have, knows that cleanliness and poverty are cultural factors as well. People casually throw garbage around and don’t seem to care, it’s cultural. I saw countless scenes in different Indian cities where people sat around garbage and filth (not homeless individuals), seemingly unbothered by it.

There’s also a culture of cheating on exams, which diminishes the value of education certifications. Attitudes in customer service can be striking too, like when I was at a pharmacy, and the clerk was engaged in a private phone conversation while a whole line of customers waited for him to finish. Or drivers who arrive hours late and then get annoyed if you find another ride etc

People who believe that India will catch up to China soon are living on a different planet.

> For example, an extension that finds and applies coupon codes must not insert an affiliate link if no coupon or discount is found. This prevents extensions from intervening in a user's browser experience without delivering a clear value in return.

This is the most interesting bit, afaik all cashback portal extensions that also do the coupon thing will replace the link whether they apply a coupon or not. I’ve also seen the extension apply a worse coupon than what’s already applied causing the price to increase without an easy way to get the old coupon back.
Human progress is driven by a small percentage of the population
This is a very good idea! But how would we enforce and check this (see recent issues to enforce right to repair)? What would be the KPIs - repairability score? Apple for example is arguing against this by saying that when they repair things themselves it is more sustainable than making documentation available to external repair stores (Louis Rossmann has been talking about this for ages)
Accusing "what-about-ism" is itself a "what-about-ism".... You are using it to short-circuit valid thought-provoking criticism.

That is implemented under the assumption that these distros are most of the time used in enterprise contexts. I know that this is not always the case, there is the option to upgrade to a license at no cost to the next tier if you’re only using it for personal use. Just send me an email I can upgrade it for you.

For this, we have insurance - to distribute the chance of utterly bad luck across all in society.
I don't think it's a good idea to complain publicly about the moderation regime here. To me it seems dang and whoever else has thought things through and made reasonable decisions based on, among other considerations, the amount of labour they have at their disposal. Changing that would likely require a very strong incentive, and chatter does not amount to one.
Painting a dire picture here!

It'd be lovely to see some nations of the world pour some serious money into the various Linux Foundation (or other open source) telco & cellular projects.
But I think the argument here is less about judges making definitive calls on authenticity and more about ensuring that clearly questionable evidence isn't automatically admitted just because a witness vouches for it.
Exactly! And even if Sequoia is the last OS to have Intel support, it will be some years before it stops receiving updates. Currently you are only missing out on "Apple Intelligence" when using Hackintosh or Intel Mac - some even think abut this as a feature rather than a bug

Great that it works for you. I also struggled a lot with setting up various different types of tunnels initially, especially more complex ones. That was one of the motivations why I started developing it.
In the mid 90s (1996?) So myself and 3 others worked for Intuit and we traveled, from Mountain View CA, to your tiny office near Harvard to look at acquiring the company. I believe Intuit made a lowball offer and eventually you sold yourselves to Yahoo for twice the price. At Intuit we did not offer you guys money for the product, it really was not that special at all, but for the people—I thought only 3 folks at the time? The product was a web store front builder (Viaweb?) I don’t think we actually talked to Paul that day but I remember Trever and the tiny ‘server’ room.

It possible we may have met you too. It was a long time ago.
I think a lot of folks downplay the performance costs for the convenience of a shared code-base between the front and backend.

If the TS team is getting a 10x improvement moving from TS to Go, you might imagine you could save about 10x on your server cpu. Or that your backend would be 10x more responsive.

If you have dedicated team for front and back anyhow, is a 10x slow down really worth a shared codebase?
> Should the public be financially burdened by outrageously expensive research and treatments for rare diseases?

Yes, precisely because they are rare and thus market forces will fail to provide a treatment.

> When do we say, it‘s enough, your condition is not compatible with life, enjoy some palliative treatment?

That will vary case by case, depending on how much the public votes in favor of socialized care vs the suffering of these people.

Clicking through to one of the references[0] in the article suggests that a little over 40% of people successfully resuscitated never wake up. So that drops us from 10% out-of-hospital / 17% in-hospital to 6%/10%.

That's still not nothing, but you also need to look at what percentage end up with severe enough brain damage that they're not really the same person anymore, and might have preferred death over that situation.

I value my life quite a lot, but I also value quality of life. I think there are quite a few physical and (especially) mental disabilities that I might not want to live with.

To your point about "ribs broken & alive for a week", I suspect that situation would be helpful for my loved ones to be able to see me and say goodbye, but not so helpful for myself.

True, but some people in the process of moving to Linux depend on workflows that work on Mac only (at least until they fully moved to Linux). For me this was: Davinci Resolve (no h.264 support on Linux) and Adobe Suite - that I could continue to use. The compelling case for hackintosh is that you can dual boot it if you need to.

The sheer quantity of completely ridiculous, absurd economic and political beliefs, and predictions on this comment thread is amusing, all the more so when you consider that so many on HN who deride the wealthy are themselves part of the global 1% of elites in terms of income and access to resources, and have made their way to this position in the very same market economies that are supposedly bringing us all to slavery and misery of nearly feudal proportions.

For a site whose readers like to tout the general trend here as being of people with above average intelligence, ignorance and blindness to the obvious is rife.

Pretty highly. It’s on page 5 of the report.
Or 3000+ "silly stories" per year, to be exact. And that's just arrests.
High per-unit costs lock you into certain workflows, and a lot of systems have much higher value at much larger scale.

For example, think of the value generated from a fraud detection system that alerts you on a nightly batch job, vs. a fraud detection system that runs once per minute. If you're spending $20k/y on the batch job, you're never even going to consider the 1/min option. If you can decost sufficiently to run it 1/min, whole new market opportunities open up.
Go is exceptionally fast for a transpiler. Esbuild is a great example.. Rust would offer any significant gains vs adoption for support.

Yes - I 100% think we should allow all voters to be able to vote on individual policy decisions.

But democracy shouldn't be about giving them that choice only if they are educated and informed on the topic, that is antithetical to democracy. Their choice matters whether they are informed on it or not, that's their choice - period. Of course, it would be good to give them all the info we can on the topic and we should strive to do our best to help them be informed. And if that's the case, and we agree democracy is about the will of the people, not their "expertise" and "knowledge" on a topic, then there is absolutely no reason why we should deny the possibility of more direct-democracy type decision making.

which allowed to burn witches based on testimony of citizens in good standing.

And that leads us to using Neuralink and similar tech and the next gen lie detectors (like say the defendant's fMRI (most probably interpreted by AI too:)) to look into the brain and extract confession. No need for evidence, deposition and all that expensive time consuming stuff standing in the way of truth especially given that it can't be trusted anymore in the face of AI capabilities.
I was raised in the #1 most Anglophile home in the American Southwest, [and baptised on St George's Day], and so PBS was not optional, etc.

I can follow a wide variety of accents in this regard, slang, jargon and localized vocabulary, but subtitles still help a lot. Of course in foreign languages/dialects, our written proficiency/vocabulary may have a certain Venn overlap with the verbal skills.

When the dialogue is thick and lip-reading may fail, seeing the words is great. Often there may be unfamiliar words dropped in, or a sentence we couldn't decipher aurally, and there's the subtitle to spell it out for us.

I often subtitle American English shows as well. I suppose I'm simply addicted to reading words.

The fact that many software products are moving to lower-level languages is not a general point in favour of lower-level languages being somehow better—rather, it simply aligns with general directions of software evolution.

1. As products mature, they may find useful scenarios involving runtime environments that don’t necessarily match the ones that were in mind back when the foundation was laid. If relevant parts are rewritten in a lower-level language like C or Rust, it becomes possible to reuse them across environments (in embedded land, in Web via WASM, etc.) without duplicate implementations while mostly preserving or even improving performance and unlocking new use cases and interesting integrations.

2. As products mature, they may find use cases that have drastically different performance requirements. TypeScript was not used for truly massive codebases, until it was, and then performance became a big issue.

Starting a product trying to get all of the above from the get go is rarely a good idea: a product that rots and has little adoption due to feature creep and lack of focus (with resulting bugs and/or slow progress) doesn’t stand a chance against a product that runs slower and in fewer environments but, crucially, 1) is released, 2) makes sound design decisions, and 3) functions sufficiently well for the purposes of its audience.

Whether LLMs are involved or not makes no meaningful difference: no matter how good your autocomplete is, other things equal the second instance still wins over the first—it still takes less time to reach the usefulness threshold and start gaining adoption. (And if you are making a religious argument about omniscient entities for which there is no meaningful difference between those two cases, which can instantly develop a bug-free product with infinite flexibility and perfect performance at whatever the level of abstraction required, coming any year, then you should double-check whether if they do arrive anyone would still be using them for this purpose. In a world where I, a hypothetical end user, can get X instantly conjured for me out of thin air by a genie, you, a hypothetical software developer, better have that genie conjure you some money lest your family goes hungry.)
I think it's a failing of rhe the original article. There are links that show most of the examples, but no inline images.
I worked with telecom code. It's code that parses complicated network protocols with several generations of legacy, often written in secrecy (security by obscurity), and often in C/C++.

There's just no way it can be insecure. Right.
Like other posters I'd advice to say 'no'. I'm on the other end of the scale as I took such project knowing I'll have not enough time to work on it and now I regret making this decision. It's more difficult to drop it now that it's 'almost finished', and more importantly because of people I built it for. Sure, I got a % of venture, but any % of 0 is still 0.. I'd prefer to have clean mind over weekend and spend time with kids than worrying about stuff that needs to be done.
