rmdashrfstar··on Running decade-old games in containers
I will periodically be reminded about this comment, with the intention that one day, when I check, you will have replied with a URL to your blog.

No pressure, I’m just looking forward to it.

rmdashrfstar··on Tiers of answers to half-baked questions
Any tips for people who are quick to be dismissive? Asking for a friend, he often is not generous with his interpretation of peoples’ questions.
rmdashrfstar··on How to speed up the Rust compiler in 2020
That’s terrifying. I will choose to avoid C++ projects if given the chance.
rmdashrfstar··on Team Fortress 2 source code has leaked
This is why the assumption that “open source code is more likely to be closely audited for vulnerabilities” is not true (even for incredibly core/important projects with a wide scope) and is potentially dangerous to rely on.

Blog post time!
rmdashrfstar··on Go Developer Survey 2019 Results
I only read the tl;dr, but I expected some questions centered around most commonly identified missing features in Go (i.e. first class support for enumerations, generics, naked return, compiler generating similar code for named vs unnamed returns, etc.)
rmdashrfstar··on Amazon tried to shut down a protest by deleting employees' calendar invites
It’s not a fixed cost.
rmdashrfstar··on Does time really flow? New clues from intuitionist math
Not the only possible way to experience it, or is it messing with a functioning motor?
rmdashrfstar··on I found an obscure political joke in the scan of a 1971 IBM logic block manual
How bleak an idea.
rmdashrfstar··on I can't keep up with idiomatic Rust
Seriously.

This arrogance of “I need the one true language that was perfectly designed from the start and never needs to change! If a new feature is added at all ever after initial release, it must mean the language is useless. Why don’t we all use Go? That’s the perfect language. It’s just like C.”

Yawn.

The borrow checker is a major leap forward, even if it’s from the 80s. And, with the incredibly expressive power and concise syntax Rust offers, it’s an incredibly compelling option.

Plus, Rust has a guarantee of backwards compatibility.

rmdashrfstar··on Ask HN: What are you learning?
Russian, Rust, and Domain-Driven Design. Lots to go! Lots of depth to these three rabbit holes, and only two have some overlap.
rmdashrfstar··on Slack's core flaws require topic modeling to fix
Everyone has complained for years about this — nothing from the Slack team!
rmdashrfstar··on Converting an old MacBook into an always-on personal Kubernetes cluster
A big problem is local storage provisioner for kubernetes is still not GA. I want to use an SSD attached to one master, and use that as storage for the other RPIs. Doing this is still undocumented/the Wild West.
rmdashrfstar··on Breathing and Exercise: Strength Training for Your Diaphragm (2018)
Gym class as a kid? Sports teams during high school (Running, Wrestling, Soccer, Football, Baseball, Lacrosse, etc)? Meditation practice?
rmdashrfstar··on A Man Who Saw the Pandemic Coming
How does one do so without missing essential nutrients that are only found in meats, if we're requiring realistic quantities for daily consumption, and not an absurd volume of food.

For instance, there are certain things you find in large quantities in meat or fish, where the non meat aubsistute would require completely unrealistic amounts to be consumed to receive anywhere near the same amount.

If this could be concretely addressed, I think that'd convince a lot of people on the fence to switch.

rmdashrfstar··on Caffeine boosts problem-solving ability but not creativity, study indicates
No, I think it's a bit ridiculous to assume that everyone would be microdosing or that it provides such a massive competitive edge such that the drawbacks of microdosing are outweighed.
rmdashrfstar··on Yes, it is worse than the flu: busting the coronavirus myths
Wearing masks is a zero sum game? What?

Time waster? How dare you! I enjoy that "wasted" time. ;)
rmdashrfstar··on A moon landing in 2024? NASA says it'll happen
That's why a private company can, should, and probably will be so cavalier to launch the willing astronauts.

Brilliant.
rmdashrfstar··on Run your own high-end cloud gaming service on EC2 (2015)
Any guide on this? I would love MacOS and Windows side by side.
rmdashrfstar··on Python dicts are now ordered
Major version changes are for API compatibility. If there is a change which makes all other 3.* incompatible, then it should be a major version increase.
rmdashrfstar··on Ask HN: How do you currently solve authentication?
Since you hadn’t mentioned PBKDF2 or SHA256 (or higher), a usage of salts, nor handling authentication across service boundaries in an enterprise context, this is essentially an advertisement for using a third-party service.
rmdashrfstar··on Ask HN: What do you regret you didn't know when programming for iOS or Android?
Related to this is “clean architecture”. Your code should not be dependent on a feature-laden framework. You should focus on writing your business domain and rules, then separately orchestrate your domain, and connect the UI and other external frameworks as interfaces to the lower, or more generic, levels of your application.

This is a general software design principle that allows for your UI to be free to change without affecting your core logic and rules, while also making all of your code more unit testable.
