I don't know why you people are so touched about somebody's attempt at redesigning an OS.

Here's the thing: You are not the target audience of this OS and you are by no means required to use it.

In my opinion, this is a solid attempt at creating an operating system for non-techies. Way fewer concepts to learn, way easier interaction.

No, everything is bad. That's why I'm about to migrate to the next country where I will eventually realize that everything is bad but it's now 10 years later.

Most important difference is probably clustering. We had to do a lot of PK changes when our mysql database received more rows.

Our access patterns are mostly analytical. A lot of scanning and aggregating has to be done. Nobody cared about clustering before so we had to change a lot of table schemas to make our IO efficient.

I only heard from colleagues that such issues are easier to handle in postgres because it is more flexible. But for mysql, you have to understand that primary key and clustering key are always the same thing.

(of course this depends on the storage engine, but it's the behavior of the standard engine innodb)

What's the point of this article?

There will always be developers who don't understand that their time is their most valueable resource. They'll just waste hours on reinventing the wheel for every app they create just to save a KB of precious RAM.

But tbh, that's not my issue.

I have never used IRC. How would you do video calls with that?

It's a waste of time. Period.

If I want to waste my time with stupid nonsense, I go to twitter.

What's up with the general hate against frontend developers? They literally make your rocketscience backend stuff accessible to users.

For the same reason, there will always be people who tell you how stupid you are for moving your servers into the cloud. You could just host them yourself, don't you know that?

You mean WebAssembly?

React would have needed its own domain-specific language to get around the implicit reference insanity and other quirks of JS.

Haven't used Zig but that comptime coercion seems very annoying.

Wow. Great progress! Recently, I was wondering why gitea does not have a GitHub Actions alternative. What a timing.

BTW, a colleague of mine told me that GitHub Actions wasn't supposed to be a CI/CD alternative at the time when it was released. I couldn't find any note on that online. Is it true?

Just thinking about the headlines that Bing Chat made in the past few weeks made me go "Ouch"

I'm not using them for said reason

State management has lead to a bunch of different frameworks (e.g. redux, mobx, zustand). They are also not really pleasent to use and sort of mix into UI rendering.

How would your approach at seperating state from UI look like?

Does svelte still have this thing where you need to reassign a variable to itself for updating?

If I were the OP, I would loooove to try that competition next year again.

Regarding the WhatsApp point: I recently archived all chats except the one with my gf. Now I don't get notifications but can opt-in to read stuff if I want.

This.

And maybe I overread it, but why did he start working on core-js fulltime when there was absolutely no financial compensation in sight? It's like investing all your time in a startup that you know will never pay off.

He should have just left the project as is. The state of JS is not his fault. He is not responsible for fixing it. Once the incompatibilities become too annoying, somebody will take care of the project.

How does an explicit raise operator like '?' work any different than that? You can learn how to read it pretty quickly.

The reason why people would like to pick Rust is because of its ergonomic features like sum types, streams and of course the toolchain.

But here is a claim: Most business-level programmers are not ready for dealing with the borrowing and ownership concept. They don't want to care about reference vs. value types. They can't do memory management efficiently, because most of them have never used a language without GC.

With Rust you would need to care more about memory which is not necessary for most use cases in startups.

Especially in databases like mysql I often miss opt-in dangerous operations. Dummy mode should be default and opting out of it should be called --i-am-a-dummy.

I have a Django backend that says otherwise

It's also fascinating to me that some people seem to believe it's HN's job to define these terms. Seriously, the definition of OLAP is one search away and it is not hard to grasp...

Can it adapt one design to the user's demands? If not, this is just a fancy search engine

My old employer did the same thing kinda. During the pandemic they put out fully remote jobs only, because they had a hard time hiring in rural Germany. I would say that their offered salaries are ridiculously low but that is a different story...

Fast forward two years and they rolled back the remote working rules. All employees now have to come to the office at least three times a week - Team leaders even more as they are considered "role models". Means the guys being located 400km away in Berlin need to figure out how to commute. Obviously they have to pay for their trips themselves. No help offered by the company.

Act is okay, but the runner image behaves quite differently than a GitHub runner would. The original image would just be too big for reasonable local workflows.

Also artifacts don't seem to be supported.

I currently also experience this difference between rural areas and the city. Recently left my hometown for the second largest city in Germany. It's crazy how different I feel. Way more open about myself. I don't have a problem connecting with people anymore. It is quite weird - I thought I was an introvert before.

But it also makes me question whether my long-term relationship (8 years) has been a good fit for me and the thing I really always wanted.
