auvi··on Ruby vs. Java vs. TypeScript: my experience on building a Cowork DOCX plugin
Jurassic Park 1993 introduced UNIX to the mainstream world. Movies of that era showed SGI Sun, Cray or CM computers. All gone. I miss those days.

auvi··on Show HN: SpectX launches the free edition of its raw log file / blob analyzer
Same here. And the word “launches” added to my confusion as I thought SpaceX “launched” a rocket.
auvi··on Ask HN: What are some examples of good database schema designs?
Is the schema (even partially) available publicly?
auvi··on Ask HN: What are some examples of good database schema designs?
This is a bit off topic maybe, but I have heard SAP works with tens of thousands of tables. Is that correct?
auvi··on Wenyan-lang: Classical Chinese Programming Language
Many thanks. So the characters shown in the IEEE Spectrum article, are they in Traditional Chinese? I wonder whether the implementation of the programming language covers both characters or not.
auvi··on Wenyan-lang: Classical Chinese Programming Language
Can someone familiar with Chinese language clarify one thing please: What does "Classical" mean in this case? And are the characters Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese?

auvi··on Why Ada Is the Language You Want to Be Programming Your Systems With
I first read about Ada in JARGON:

   Ada:: n. A {{Pascal}}-descended language that has been made
   mandatory for Department of Defense software projects by the
   Pentagon.  Hackers are nearly unanimous in observing that,
   technically, it is precisely what one might expect given that kind
   of endorsement by fiat; designed by committee, crockish, difficult
   to use, and overall a disastrous, multi-billion-dollar boondoggle
   (one common description is "The PL/1 of the 1980s"; hackers find
   the exception handling and inter-process communication features
   particularly hilarious).  Ada Lovelace (the daughter of Lord Byron
   who became the world's first programmer while cooperating with
   Babbage on the design of his mechanical computing engines in the
   mid-1800s) would almost certainly blanch at the use her name has
   been latterly put to; the kindest thing that has been said about it
   it is that there is probably a good small language screaming to get
   out from inside its vast, {elephantine} bulk.
Maybe the situation is different now?
auvi··on The Moral Rot of the MIT Media Lab
What are the major successes that came out of the lab? On top of my head I can think of: e-Ink, Lego mindstorms, Scratch. I bet there are hundreds more.

auvi··on ‘Product engineers’ vs ‘Software engineers’ in startups
If everyone follows this advice then who will implement the system? Outsource to external professional firms? We already outsource to accountants, lawyers, ad agencies etc.
