badhombres··on Show HN: Generate minimalist, fast no-JS websites from a single plain text file
I’m not sure what the benefits are over just regular html
badhombres··on Gnat 2021 GPL Community Edition Ada 202x compiler released
What’s different?
badhombres··on Mint: A new language designed for building single page applications
My mind automatically goes to the XKCD comic - https://xkcd.com/927/

I do agree that the number of tools and solutions out there for creating web applications is overwhelming at times. I just don't know if this a valid approach, especially when people keep churning out tech to replace old tech instead of improving on said old tech.

badhombres··on GTK 4.0 Released
thanks!
badhombres··on GTK 4.0 Released
what library did you use for Gtk with Go?
badhombres··on Can modern software be snappy? (2008)
1. I can say I really appreciate the fact that you guys focus so much on performance.

2. I understand that sublime is closed source and respect that, but would sublime ever release or talk about how they develop their GUI? What libraries and techniques they use?

badhombres··on Laws of UX
I can see how it can be perceived as potentially elitist if you put certain countries on top, but it can be more of the product understanding it's market. It knows that one country is going to use it's product more than others. If it decides to expand, I would hope that it would use other potential factors to sort a likely country the user is from to the top as well.
badhombres··on How Did Vim Become So Popular?
Vanilla Vim I would agree is not good for code browsing and inspection, but two things I've noticed when coding with Vim:

1. Code Browsing is an initial, one time cost when learning the code base. After you learn the code base, I've needed this ability much less.

2. Adding plugins like NERDTree and fzf/ripgrep have helped make code browsing much easier in Vim. The downside to this is that if you're new to Vim, you need to learn how to use these plugins on top of learning how to Vim. So it's just more to learn. But you can also think of this as another one time cost in general.

badhombres··on Chromebooks Have an “Auto Update Expiration”
Yes, I like to give everyone a chance to give a reason for their actions. I don't like to assume anything before I hear both sides.
badhombres··on Chromebooks Have an “Auto Update Expiration”
What is the official justification for this? Why are they unable to support these devices after a certain set of time?
badhombres··on The Browser Monopoly
Because when I run Firefox on my mac, the FAA calls me to let me know that I'm not allowed to be running jet engines inside of my house
badhombres··on Oat Milk Could Change the Way You Drink Coffee (2018)
Additives? Just oats and water to make oat milk and some sugar if you want it sweet.
badhombres··on Show HN: Fnm – Fast and simple Node.js version manager built in ReasonML
We only run it for quick tests. This is custom code that our main application uses for custom logic that is different for each customer. We can't build it into the main product because not everyone wants/needs it. We always test on the lambdas directly, but we just dev on our machine as that's sometimes quicker.
badhombres··on Show HN: Fnm – Fast and simple Node.js version manager built in ReasonML
When I write lambda code for my job, our code currently only supports the node 6 for it's runtime (our system automatically deploys it). I use nvm to help test my code all the time while still having the ability to switch to a more current node for other projects
badhombres··on HeidiSQL – GUI client for MariaDB, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL
I would argue Datagrip has yet to fail me while having a ton of support for many databases. Including support for MySQL 4.0.16. I had to use that DB for my previous job about a year ago. With datagrip I just needed to download an old jar file and I had a connection automatically.

interesting, i have to really sit on this and think about it before I form an opinion
badhombres··on Ask HN: What do you use for diagramming in software engineering?
A whiteboard and imagination from the oral documentation. It's actually something I'm working on getting my team to fix sense I got here. I'm interested in this topic.
badhombres··on Theology majors marry each other a lot, but business majors don’t
They weren't saying all people who study theology were religious, just more likely to be religious. Priests generally do need a bachelors degree and it would make sense if they gravitated towards theology vs other degrees.
badhombres··on Ask HN: How to document your *project*
I've always found that documentation is a skill on it's own. You need to learn how to say something efficiently while answering as many questions as you can. If it's too much people won't read it, if it's too little then it's not useful.

Also learn how to ask questions, you know your project inside and out, try to go to someones position of not knowing anything. I always find stuff that seems so simple at first but then later realize that most people wouldn't know it or connect the dots because they don't know the project.

Here are some resources I've looked at.
