michal_fon Ask HN: What's a good home router?

Isn't it that all devices that support OpenWrt cannot run at 1gps speeds (because of no available chip drivers)? For this reason I just replaced my Archer c7 which capped at ~300mbps. Now I run with mikrotik router. Very flexible but steep learning curve.

michal_fon I enjoy using the Nim programming language at Reddit

Nim is interresting. Its easy to read (and write) about pros. But what are cons?

Car is too big, barely fits in lane :)

michal_fon Case-Insensitive Ext4

Having many files with same name, differing in case only (a cultural 'thing') is just a mess - there's no extra value here. Do you use case in spoken word ? Arguments of performance or ease of implementation are technical details nobody cares (except devs of course :) ) We just end up living with this decission and there's no easy way out.

I suppose Op meant separating architecture dependant code to different cpp files and use build system to select right one.

michal_fon Serving Dynamic Vector Tiles from PostGIS

https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker generates mapbox vector tiles from OSM, which you can serve static. I saved an example config and usage to help get going https://github.com/ogre/tilemaker_config

michal_fon GNU Radio 3.8

Same here. I needed a CLI based RTTY decoder but could not get it done in GNU radio. It turned out to be easier to code this in C++ [1], though I had to learn a lot on the way. GNU radio has step learning curve...
