santamarias··on Ask HN: Who is using C++ as the main language for new project?
Starting to build an Arduino / ESP32 / Pi / Jetson Nano / ROS 2 robotics project. Mostly C++, some Python.
santamarias··on Ask HN: Are you using Go for web development?
Yes, chose Go over Rust for a prototype API backend because Google Cloud docs offers code examples in Go :p Satisfied with Go performance, strongly prefer Goland over VS Code for better debugging. Considering switching to Java or .Net for the remaining logic development, I would (perhaps naively) like to explore functional programming patterns and the potential benefits of a "larger" ecosystem (Spring Data JDBC for example).
santamarias··on Reflections on IDEA vs VS Code
Using Windows, comparing different Jetbrains products to VS Code, I personally experience for example a constant input lag in the terminal (Powershell) emulator (?) on Jetbrains IDEs.
santamarias··on Three Months of Go from a Haskeller’s perspective (2016)
I did not realize, thanks. The year of publishing should be quoted in the link title?
santamarias··on Container technologies at Coinbase: Why Kubernetes is not part of our stack
> It's a pity that docker swarm did not make it.

Sorry I do not understand that statement, in my naive opinion Docker Swarm seems to be a thing. Care to elaborate, please?

santamarias··on Norway: Soldiers' location history found in data sold by Tamoco
point taken, thanks :)
santamarias··on Norway: Soldiers' location history found in data sold by Tamoco
perhaps useful to replace the wording "track down" with "identify"?
santamarias··on Norway: Soldiers' location history found in data sold by Tamoco
A bit of context for non-Norwegians: The government owned media NRK bought location data from Tamoco worth approximately 3,400 USD.

The NRK subsidiary NRKbeta has "connected the dots" from that data set. In this article they present how they could track down military personnel visiting restricted military sites in Norway, including the disputed radar installation in Vardø, close to the Russian border.

santamarias··on Making Emacs Popular Again
Hybris & Curiosity => Vim => Emacs => Evil Emacs => Spacemacs => Evil Emacs => Org-mode videos on Youtube => Silent Despair => VS Code + Vim keys (w/o Ctrl*) => Peace of mind.
santamarias··on What If C++ Abandoned Backward Compatibility?
I think this discussion is awesome, such a readworthy mix of opinions, experience and large scale digressions :)
santamarias··on What If C++ Abandoned Backward Compatibility?
is there a discussion thread around that proposal somewhere?
santamarias··on What If C++ Abandoned Backward Compatibility?
sorry, my bad
santamarias··on What If C++ Abandoned Backward Compatibility?
I was just trying to get a response to how the Python transition mentioned was so (edit:) "catastrophic". I don't understand the need to bring fiction writers, fatal diseases or laden words like "mockery" or "abuse" to the debate.
santamarias··on What If C++ Abandoned Backward Compatibility?
> But: if it's a completely new language (no backward compatibility to C++) - why do we need this?

Would backwards compatibility to "modern C++" make more sense than no backwards compatibility?

santamarias··on What If C++ Abandoned Backward Compatibility?
I agree about the "rocky transition" from Python 2 to 3. Still if the Python migration story gives any inference towards the outcome of an eventual C++ transition, the new language would be an even more massive success; it seems that Python 3.x is doing alright right?
santamarias··on GitHub Discussions Beta
Will there be an option for internal discussion? For example ticking off the "internal" checkbox makes the thread visible to team members and collaborators only.
santamarias··on Matrix.org hacked
do you have plans to perform an external security audit?
santamarias··on Matrix.org hacked
in order to regain trust in matrix.org, what other options exist than an external security audit?
