oslac··on Core-JS is holding the internet hostage?
Probably the healthiest thing is if he just deletes the project.
oslac··on Rust went from side project to world’s fastest growing language
It is so fun to write applications with.
oslac··on Critique of the mind/body problem
Materialists can be made to admit to metaphysics they do not profess to believe in probably less than 30 seconds. It is not a very serious outlook.
oslac··on Rust's Ugly Syntax
The lifetime stuff in library code gets very ugly and unreadable very fast.
oslac··on Choosing a Postgres primary key
UUID does not protect your records, that is, it is not a security measure against what you describe.
oslac··on PHP in 2023
Why would a new project in 2023 choose PHP over anything else (modern Java, Kotlin, C#, etc.)?
oslac··on Firefox lost ~16M users since last year
I don't like the Chrome browser for Android. Can't quite tell why. I really like Firefox for Android.
oslac··on Ask HN: Book to get started in Type Theory
There are lecture series that are good for this. Jumping straight into Pierce or Harper's book is pretty hardcore.

For example, 3110 -> 4110 -> 6110. Then you can just search some compiler courses like CMU's or just follow plai.org.

oslac··on Just: A Command Runner
Uniform interface that abstracts over commands? Nice when you have either bad command / build system or multiple in same project?
oslac··on Ask HN: Did HN just start using Google recaptcha for logins?
This just shows how little consent-based ethics matter (they break down immediately when the other party simply defects).
oslac··on I went through a period where I loaned money to anyone that asked me
Some sort of reverse House M.D. experiment (House instead asked loans to update his people model)
oslac··on Rust Atomics and Locks: Low-Level Concurrency in Practice
Most web servers / apps. Just think about how you would test a simple register endpoint for example.
oslac··on Rust Atomics and Locks: Low-Level Concurrency in Practice
One of the things most concurrency material leaves out is the actual definition of concurrency. I read the first chapter, but didn't see it defined, but I see this touches upon Happens-Before so it might include it later (?)
oslac··on A practical comparison of build and test speed between C++ and Rust
Does this article account for the fact that a rustc compilation does more things than simple C++ default compilation, where you need to run address sanitizers etc. to do the same as rustc?
