Can I have one of those please?

I remapped caps lock to esc.
adrianhel··on I don't know how CPUs work so I simulated one in code
My most absurdly productive episodes have been when I've worked through the night. I love the amount of focus I get when there is nothing to distract me!
adrianhel··on South Korean government to switch to Linux: ministry
This is amazing!
adrianhel··on Training the Brain to Eat Less Sugar
Vitamin B12 for one. I'd hazard a guess that you'd get too little iron and omega 3 as well.
adrianhel··on Applying the Gestalt Principles to Code
I like to plan by coding prototypes. It depends on the task at hand, but for certain problems it can be nice to create a new branch or repo even and test out my ideas. I'll often write sketches on my phone too.
adrianhel··on I/O Is Faster Than CPU – Let’s Partition Resources and Eliminate OS Abstractions [pdf]
What I heard was "You can practically scale indefinitely". Which I guess is more true of NoSQL. As is I/O savings. But it's not something I've ever heard it advertised for.
adrianhel··on Python at Netflix
The university I went to have now switched from Java to Python for introductory computer science. So this type of change may influence this increase in popularity as well.

I remember being a bit baffled that they used Java and not Python as an introductory language. It's a very obvious choice for beginners.

Lol, I remember the first lesson.

    class HelloWorld {
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, world");
      }
    }
adrianhel··on Svelte 3: Rethinking Reactivity
Looks great. I'm looking forwars to experiment with it. I enjoy that you have taken some of the "it's just js" approach from React, some of the reactivity from Vue/Mobx and the good parts of AngularJS (bindings where it makes sense). I am very curious!
adrianhel··on Svelte 3: Rethinking Reactivity
This is basically v1 though, so it's a bit different.
adrianhel··on [dead]
I watched the original and so far it's as close as it could come barring obvious cultural differences.
adrianhel··on Beyond Meat S-1
This is why I love being Norwegian. Sustainable and cruelty free farming is the norm. So personally I wont stop eating regular meat until lab meat becomes available.
adrianhel··on Linux 2019 (2009)
Close call!
adrianhel··on A visual proof that neural nets can approximate any function
Not continuous.
adrianhel··on Samsung's folding phone breaks for reviewers
AR - when it becomes practical will be really cool. Smart glasses are the next innovation in smart phones. But it is still years off.
adrianhel··on Samsung's folding phone breaks for reviewers
No, place its edges underneath the cover so that it never seems removable.
adrianhel··on Samsung's folding phone breaks for reviewers
Does you phone make it seem like your battery is an insignificant part of the product? Are you likely to play with the battery repeatedly until it comes off?

Not comparable.

<satire> I still use PDAs when I need a portable computer. Do you hear me complaining about that? No. Because I recognize that my need is niche and PDAs exist to fulfill my need. It doesn't need to be baked into a mass market device. I'm an adult that can bring both a phone and a PDA. </satire>

My Huawei Mate 20 Lite lasts about 2-3 days. Pretty common for new phones I think.
adrianhel··on Jack Ma defends the 'blessing' of a 12-hour working day
Work less, do more. That should be the optimization loop.
adrianhel··on JSON as configuration files: please don’t (2016)
Toml is so much better. Editing json with the default vim configuration is really error prone. But I'd rather have json than yaml.
adrianhel··on JSON as configuration files: please don’t (2016)
Definitely
adrianhel··on Learn more programming languages, even if you won't use them
Choose the right tool for the job!
adrianhel··on Why I Switched from Visual Studio Code to JetBrains WebStorm
This is so true. Written documentation explaining the intent of 3rd party libraries is crucial. Comments as documentation is horrible to work with!
adrianhel··on Web Components could replace frontend frameworks?
textContent is usually better than innerText.
adrianhel··on Google releases closed source VS Code plugin
Valid point. :)
adrianhel··on Google releases closed source VS Code plugin
Just curious, I've briefly tried JetBrains and VS Code, and to me, VSC just seems like a worse IDE. Why not just use a good IDE instead?
adrianhel··on Making Video Games Is Not a Dream Job
The common attribute is that these things are generic. That is not an attribute most software has.
adrianhel··on Making Video Games Is Not a Dream Job
And the type of software people make for free is not the same software people get paid to create.

I bet few people would be eager to develop banking software on their free time for instance.

adrianhel··on Ask HN: Is all programming constantly changing or just front-end JavaScript?
But why bother with jQuery? Vanilla is pretty decent.

Prefer React/Vue for the big stuff. But you can't beat vanilla when you need perf and control.
