neeh0··on Show HN: Vortex – a high-performance columnar file format
It gave me a moment of pause why Rust is part of the equation, but I concluded I'm too dumb
neeh0··on Show HN: Vdm, a sane alternative to e.g. Git submodules
Another solution that "nix" solved years ago.
neeh0··on The Functional Programming Hiring Problem
That's very strange conclusion. I think only person with limited exposure to tech hiring can produce that.
neeh0··on Microsoft CTO: Thoughts on OpenAI (2019)
becasue it can be interpreted as acting against the company in first place
neeh0··on Show HN: jnv: interactive JSON filter using jq
what is the difference between this and jiq and ijq?
neeh0··on “Dear Discord, how on Earth is ”GTK“ a bad word? GTK is a GUI toolkit ”
Not only they become, if they cross specific size, different government agencies are more interested in you as you have impact and they formally or not, trying to force you to apply this tactics.
neeh0··on “Dear Discord, how on Earth is ”GTK“ a bad word? GTK is a GUI toolkit ”
This GTK/QT flamewar went way too far.
neeh0··on Show HN: Accelerated Docker builds on your local machine with Depot (YC W23)
Why not just using nix build system for that, it can create docker images for years now with a great speed.
neeh0··on Ask HN: Why doesn't HN celebrate people's achievements before they die?
Literally, there is "show" page on HN where a lot of people congratulates people for their achievements.
neeh0··on Dotfiles Management
nix home-manager is really great at this (and declarative!)
neeh0··on Show HN: NixOS Web Hosting for Everyone
Used custom images with NixOS few times. Works OK.
neeh0··on Front end developers: stop moving things that I’m about to click on
Why developers? In most cases I know this is responsibility of product people who explicitly want that.
neeh0··on Show HN: Reproducible development environments using starlark, without Nix
But why to reinvent the wheel if Nix already exists? I guess one reason is cloud feature, but why not extending nix in that case?
neeh0··on Ask HN: Shouldn't startups' leanness be a big advantage in the current market?
yes
neeh0··on Show HN: Checksum.sh verify every install script
I wrote hundreds of those checks in scripts, makefiles, CI and whatever else. After I found Nix (and NixOS) it's ridiculous not to use it. Use it.
neeh0··on Cassandra at Apple: 1000s of Clusters, 300k Nodes, 100 PB
Relevant post: https://instagram-engineering.com/open-sourcing-a-10x-reduct...
neeh0··on A development process to ship features fast
> This is just silly,

I think it is silly to use this one sentence without a context and start arguing. The whole paragraph in the article makes sense, gives context and advice is reasonable.

neeh0··on Python and manually creating the requirements.txt vs. pip freeze
Any reason not to use `poetry` these days?
neeh0··on Show HN: Mprocs 0.5 – TUI for running processes, now with mouse support
I'm using overhive, that uses tmux+Procfile and seem to do the job. mprocs seem a little bit narrow but if somebody adding such a function to the project from scratch, maybe worth looking.
neeh0··on How Many Billions in Profit Is It Worth to Kill 212,000 Americans a Year?
Sorry, but this comment is so vauge and always correct in general (there will never be society agree upon truth). What's your point?
neeh0··on Show HN: Building services on lambda should be easy and fun
Is it for building AWS Lambda apps or to use lambda as execution environment? I can't figure it out from readme.
neeh0··on Show HN: Dockerized – Run CLI tools without installation
That's it. That happens when devs are leveling. At some point, when one finds about "patterns" or other cool feature, they need to put it everywhere, or rewrite everything to "go", or "rust", or "from perl". Unfortunately lots of them publish it. (yes, I've been writing my own php frameworks back then as well)
