I've some experience in visual programming languages (both professional and in my studies) and I advise against the graph-form where you connect nodes and edges.This does not mean that text is the only way to implement programs (and even if you connect nodes, you're still programming), but maybe a good local optimum is in-between, e.g. interactive shells like Jupyter's Notebook and the Mathematica
I'd love to learn a bit about what the current hosting/tech stack setup looks like. IIRC the posts were stored in files on the file system and scaled quite well vertically. Is that still the case? While on the "how HN works" topic, I have a question:I'm working on an HN app reader idea that I think is unique (more to come) that requires regularly getting the front page posts and comments. I wrote
This "modern" Spanner feels very different from the one we saw in 2012 [1]. Some interesting takeaways:* There is a native SQL interface in Spanner, rather than relying on a separate upper-layer SQL layer, a la F1 [2] * Spanner is no longer on top of Bigtable! Instead, the storage engine seems to be a heavily modified Bigtable with a column-oriented file format * Data is resharded frequently and c
The thing about both Lisp and Smalltalk that keeps making me feel alienated is that their power seems much weaker beyond their kingdom. The outside world does not have an object browser, nor is it made of s-expressions.Tcl occupies a very nice place in this regard: its homoiconicity and symmetry (and late binding) come from text. The outside world, to a very close approximation, is also made of te
I am a Dutch high school student and last year I had to do a large project of my own choice. Together with two other guys I decided to do a project about digital logic. We had an ambitious plan: building an 8-bits computer.At that time I started learning programming and I already knew some HTML and CSS. So we decided to not build a physical computer, but one running in a self-built simulator. I wa
Do you use - Universal SSH Key Manager, ManageEngine Key Manager Plus, Cyberark Solution, or any other tool? Tips please. It baffles me that nobody seems to have mentioned Hashicorp's Vault yet:https://www.vaultproject.org https://github.com/hashicorp/vault It comes with both, a full blown PKI (want a new cert? Use an authenticated REST endpoint!) and SSH backend. On top of that you can use it to

(But thanks for all the positive comments on here.) We've been testing Keybase a lot with iOS and Android testers and we quietly released into the app stores last night. In many ways it's an MVP focusing on: (1) Keybase chat, and technic
Designed with TLA+! :D Small interview with Leslie Lamport:https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/10/with-cosmos-db-microsoft-w... Hope Cosmos team releases a whitepaper on their experiences with the language. I'd heard snatches of gossip here and there that TLA+ was used inside Cosmos, but no concrete details. edit: apparently there's also a video of Lamport talking about this https://www.youtube.com/wat
How many of you out there are still active programmers contributing to open source and community, while being greater than 30 years ? How to you manage personal life, work and contributions ? The myth that after 30 your career as a programmer is over, is really stupid and utterly false. In my experience, it only really started after 30. I'm 43 now and doing better than ever.Experience counts for a
In my opinion standups are mood killers. If you need something, you ask for it anyway. Anything else would be ridiculous, you have a job to do and you need something from somebody so you ask. This is collaboration 101. Yeah sure, there is some tiny possibility that person A happens to mention his approach to some task and person B happens to know a better way, but really that is such a motivation
> The first version of this document was drafted by my students: Hossein Falaki, Earl Oliver, and Sumair Ur Rahman.The paper is two pages. Why aren't these people included as authors then...? I was all ready to mock this by saying how most papers get only 1) Read the abstract, 2) Read the conclusion, 3) Look at the graphics, from me. Turns out that it's basically what the paper says, but then goes
Sadists.The Pi's choice of picking one of the most egregiously unsupported and anti-open source CPU cores was absurd. The people doing the absurdly hard work of taking up the slack that the Raspberry Pi Foundation created from this pick AND the RPI Foundations complete unconcern about the situation and open source at large is to me beyond belief. For a thing that purported to be an educational pla
I've been using Vagrant for about 5-6 years now to automate the setup of development environments. It was a great tool for spinning up environments that were similar to production and easily shared across team resources that jump in and out of projects.The number of issues we're dealing with daily with Vagrant is rising. The productivity boost it provided is entirely gone and the support is taking
I actually really like many of the blogs at Microsoft. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some gems in there.Raymond Chen's blog[1] in particular was good enough to get me to buy his book (which definitely did not disappoint). Other ones I subscribe to are the Microsoft Edge Dev Blog[2] , Mark Russinovich[3] and Games for Windows and the DirectX SDK[4] And there's a few that have unfortunately
Hi all, Docker founder here. It appears that the explanation in the pull request is not very clear. Sorry about that. We didn't expect the PR to be the first thing people read: there is a new website at mobyproject.org. Unfortunately Github is struggling under the load, and I can't update the PR text to clarify.Here is an updated version with some clarifications: <<< Docker is transitioning all of
Could you elaborate on the TJ/Express? The post you provided looks like the last one of series of events. Yes, there was some controversy in the Node.js world because he sold the project of Express to StrongLoop just as he was leaving for Go. I think it was totally a problem on how things were communicated and that he had really a good intention. What didn't help much though is that StrongLoop the
This is fantastic. I'm using a combination of Chrome and PhantomJS for karma testing right now, for https://github.com/paypal/paypal-checkout and https://github.com/krakenjs/xcomponent. There are hundreds of tests opening up hundreds of iframes and popup windows, and sending a lot of cross-window messages, and that ends up being really memory hungry.Chrome deals pretty well with garbage collection
I searched the web but most of the articles are written several years before. Many cons have been fixed. From many years of hosting both - MySQL seems easier at first but there are so, so many problems with its internal design that hide problems until its too late. PostgreSQL in my eyes is engineered in a much smarter way and has sensible defaults. PostgreSQL won't implement something unless it's
Before people panic and again try to claim that HTTPS does not help here, note that the leak here is not in HTTPS itself per-se: it's in DASH and VBR encodings. Segment sizes can be predictable and are unique for each video. Higher variation in bitrate leaks more unique fingerprint information, and Netflix happens to support high variation in bitrates. HTTPS still does guarantee integrity and conf
