hoare··on Ask HN: What Skills to Acquire in 2020?
Just a drizzle of olive oil
hoare··on Show HN: I'm building a robot that performs haircuts [video]
This reminds me of the machine starred in the "Casper, the friendly ghost" movie i watched as a kid. I hope you run more QA though. Would love to see your 2nd Prototype. Keep up the good work!
hoare··on You don't need a blockchain in that
One of the biggest advantages of a blockchain is it's ability to trust the entries written on a distributed ledger and actions that are automatcally executed when certain criteria is met regarding those entries(This statement ignores the fact that it's still possible to take over a blockchain if you control enough of it) There are a lot of industry specific business cases where the elimination of a 3rd party trust authority would save a lot of money. Remember that not only physical goods can be stored on a blockchain. Consider a contract where multiple participants are required to execute actions in a pre defined order. In theory there are a gazillion use cases for a data structure with that kind of behaviour. In reality it most of the time comes down to the scaling ability of transactions executed/s, which is horrible at the moment.
hoare··on How Rust 1.26 more than tripled the speed of my code

hoare··on Ask HN: What are your favorite podcast episodes, and who might enjoy them?
I really enjoy listening to hardcore history by Dan Carlin. Which is, no surprise, about history:) You could almost forget it's not an audio book from audible but a history podcast
hoare··on Why has WhatsApp accessed my contacts 23,709 times?
Would be an intetesting article if network traffic would`ve been tracked. The difference between accessing the contact list in a 30sec intervall vs additonally sending the gathered information to their servers is a huge difference. Be it power consumption or traffic wise. Maybe its a mechanism to prevent stand by mode? I made the experience that, if i turn on power save mode i only recieve messages if i actively open whatsapp.

hoare··on How a bug in VS2015 exposed my source code on GitHub and cost me $6,500
