interactivecode··on Zas Editor
You're already familiar with https://www.chimehq.com/ a native go specific editor?
interactivecode··on Friday.app is shutting down
Agree, I think the fear of someone finding a vulnerability and the original author being held accountable is high enough for almost nobody to open source their code.
interactivecode··on Ask HN: 3k museums submitting data. How?
I think traditionally this is done with interns and email or shipping drives.
interactivecode··on A few things to know before stealing my 914
Can I just say this is such a lovely site design. fast, clean and very readable. Bravo!
interactivecode··on Sorbet: Stripe's Type Checker for Ruby
Which modern language does typing really well? I would love to try a language in which it isn't frustrating to work with types.

I use types at work in Typescript and Swift but honestly I'm not very convinced it's worth the hassle in most projects. I feel that if the build tool already can tell me what type I should be using, why do I need to pedantically add them everywhere?

interactivecode··on Tell HN: Gnome on Wayland Is Amazing
So perhaps you should use your power supply instead of the monitor power because it's clearly not getting enough power at peak?
interactivecode··on The legal implications of remote working cross-border
The same in The Netherlands. However from what I understand in the EU it’s a lot easier. For example between France and The Netherlands the company doesn’t need a full office. You just need to register with the countries tax office and pay taxes.

In a lot of cases the taxes are mostly the same just paid to the employees country instead of the companies one.

It’s mostly knowns in administration what companies seems scared of

interactivecode··on Apple Imagines Mac-Inside-a-Keyboard Device Evocative of 80s Home Computers
I'm waiting for the day where I can plug my iphone into my screen and have a full os show up. Apple seems like the perfect company to build that.
interactivecode··on Moving the Linux Kernel to Modern C
I thought this was one of the main advantages of typed languages refactoring or renaming is safe and easy. What gives?
interactivecode··on Show HN: LiveViewJS – TypeScript back end for LiveView Apps (Phoenix LiveView)
I always thought the react programming model could solve most criticisms perfectly with a built in liveview style server part
interactivecode··on How programmers make sure that their software is correct
On a side note I always find it interesting to see the static type and algorithm fans taut how correct code is. Great we now got typescript everywhere… it’s still amazingly difficult to test and validate user interfaces, styles and layouts.
interactivecode··on A Zimbabwean archaeologist reimagines the story of an African civilisation
So if both african countries and one of the large most power country actively destabilize a nation. Why would smaller and less powerful nations be the primary cause instead of the big one? but yeah, the one does not rule out the other
interactivecode··on A Zimbabwean archaeologist reimagines the story of an African civilisation
because the western countries actively dis-stabilizes other countries and continents. Take for example South America and the US
interactivecode··on A Zimbabwean archaeologist reimagines the story of an African civilisation
why does the west feel its their job alone to write the history of African countries instead of letting them research and write their own history instead?

(write as in write down, not write as invent)

interactivecode··on Best practices for writing code comments
Are you familiar with Literate Programming? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming
interactivecode··on Best practices for writing code comments
That’s horrible because the git commit messages are easily lost, disconnected or hard to find in any reasonably active codebase. For example as soon as you do a change and move a file it almost always disconnects from the previous change history.

Whats even more difficult is searching through a code base when the documentation isn’t in or near the code. I don’t know any IDE or editor that makes it easy to search though git commit message and source code at the same time.

On top of that, do you review git commit message in code review? Do you aks people to improve descriptions, typos and language in commit messages?

interactivecode··on European Energy Crisis: price per MWh now above 300 EUR in many countries
Hopefully this speeds up the adoption of solar panels. We have the tech to be less reliant on fossil fuel and ee should be doing that
interactivecode··on When MVPs Hurt
I come to think that an MVP is only that, when after validating your product case. You scrap the mvp and build the product from scratch.

If you’re not able yo scrap what you have you aren’t validating product market fit, you are forcing a product onto the market.

If you’re on mac mimestream is really good:

interactivecode··on HTTP/3 Is Fast
So what language do you use for cranking out enterprise crud apps and getting actual work done?
interactivecode··on Show HN: We open sourced our new Mac developer setup script
I don’t get it, what’s the difference between nix and other dependency or package managers?
interactivecode··on Ask HN: Why is building Windows apps so complicated?
MacOS is simple, open xcode, new project, choose the app and press run.
interactivecode··on “Open source” is broken
Can you really trust those average 3 engineers you work with to build any sort of complex piece of software more reliably just to get started with the project you're actually building?
interactivecode··on Writing maintainable code is a communication skill
Everyone always talking about simple code. But what can we agree on that makes code simple?
interactivecode··on Twitter photo-removal policy aimed at improving privacy goes into effect
publishing usualy mean "making public" so showing photos in a private context is obviously not public.
interactivecode··on Django, HTMX and Alpine.js: Modern websites, JavaScript optional
because you still want server rendered html? because you focus on building websites?

Being platform specific makes it easier to have a higher quality and integration on that specific platform.

interactivecode··on Security issue related to the NPM registry
How many developers write C programs versus how many developers write JS apps?

Without accounting for that, your comparison makes no sense! Not even mentioning that you’re comparing two very different level languages. A low level language like C would never behave like a high er level language

interactivecode··on The main thing about Phenylacetone meth is that there's so much of it
Until recently the dutch government ran opium factories: https://decorrespondent.nl/7514/nederland-runde-eeuwenlang-e...
interactivecode··on Was Google Earth Stolen?
Has it been getting worse? like actually? I've seen some journalism from the past and it doesn't seem any less sensationalist. In the past perhaps a bit more formal english was used in media.

Accounting for that so much misinformation, propaganda and opinions have been published in the media even back then, the outrage that "these days" things are worse feels a bit short-sighted.

interactivecode··on The Myth of Self-Documenting Code
Next thing you know someone both edits and renames a file and you lose all your extensive documentation
