hnaccountme··on Ask HN: Does anyone want to take on the payment processing networks with me?
Hey I work in the payment processing industry as a software developer. Your problem isn't tech, there is a huge regulatory and compliance hurdle. By the time you figure all that out and convince people to use your network, you will be charging the same fees
hnaccountme··on Redis is fast – I'll cache in Postgres
I think there is more performance to be taken from PostgreSQL. Not sure how pgx works internally since I have not used it.

There are async functions provided by PostgreSQL client library (libpq). I've used it to process around 2000 queries on a single connection per second on a logged table.

hnaccountme··on Why haven't local-first apps become popular?
The article is wrong. Its not popular because of greed.

We used to have offline everything and everything just worked. Now we are forced to sync with the cloud weather we like it or not. A subscription model shows a continuous cash flow and businesses like that.

hnaccountme··on Selling numbered rocks, you get whatever's next in sequence
What kind of scam is this?
hnaccountme··on Ask HN: Why hasn't x86 caught up with Apple M series?
Apple tailors their software to run optimally on their hardware. Other OSs have to work on a variety of platforms. Therefore limiting the amount of hardware specific optimizations.
hnaccountme··on Io_uring, kTLS and Rust for zero syscall HTTPS server

hnaccountme··on What are people doing? Live-ish estimates based on global population dynamics

hnaccountme··on Naur's "Programming as Theory Building" and LLMs replacing human programmers
I completely agree with this.

But most programmers i've encountered are just converting English to <programming language>. If a bug is reported then convert English to <programming language>

AI is the new Crypto

hnaccountme··on Exploiting Undefined Behavior in C/C++ Programs: The Performance Impact [pdf]
You don't program C. You program your OS using C.

If you look at it this way, does most complaints about undefined behavior go away?

hnaccountme··on HTTP/3 is everywhere but nowhere
Isn't head of line blocking a problem with the design of web servers?

hnaccountme··on A mistake that killed Japan's software industry? (2023)
I work for a fortune 500 Japanese tech company developing software.

Its a cultural problem Japanese cant create software. There is no sense of "Hacking".

For them everything has to be formalized with detailed processors, costing and KPIs. There is a huge bureaucracy to slow down development as much as possible and complain when things get delayed.

They look at the company as a factory that output lines of code, bugs as product defects and treat developers as factory line workers who are insignificant and easily replaceable.

hnaccountme··on Ask HN: Can a 5 year old i7 laptop compete with one made today?
I'm using a 5 year old 8th gen i5. Works perfectly fine for me. I run linux
hnaccountme··on Linux Network Performance Ultimate Guide
Thank you
hnaccountme··on What are the threats to the AI boom?
That it is a scam
hnaccountme··on Ask HN: Why do message queue-based architectures seem less popular now?
My sense is the hype just died down. There are genuine cases where message queues are the correct solution. But since most of the developers are clueless they just jump on the latest trend and write blog posts and make Youtube videos.

This effect has also happened with microservices/monaliths, lambda/serverless, agile/scrum(still no concrete definition on these). Even cloud as a whole, there are so many articles of how companies managed to cut cloud cost to a fraction just by going bare metal.

hnaccountme··on Ask HN: How do you find a mentor in software engineering and in life?
You don't.

If you think you need a mentor seriously reconsider what you have been doing

hnaccountme··on Ask HN: Any GenAI project that moves the business needle?
Agreed, It's just a bubble. I have a feeling now a days these bubbles are intentionally created to scam investors out of their money.
hnaccountme··on My simple theory on why we stopped building beautiful buildings
I sort of agree with the post.

Most wealthy people or companies today aren't really wealthy. They just have stocks with imaginary value. Most of which were bought by someone else's money and need to be repaid at some point.

hnaccountme··on Ask HN: Going low-level – what to learn next?
