slekker··on No Bitcoin ETFs at Vanguard? Here's why
I'll share this every time someone asks me about crypto, beautiful!
slekker··on Notes on Argentina
He did say it would get worse before it got better
slekker··on Great things about Rust that aren't just performance
The "billion dollar mistake" in Go is a non-issue: there's no security consequences (it panics safely) and it is the easiest kind of error to fix, it tells you exactly where the null pointer is.
slekker··on A Walk with LuaJIT
Why do you think that?
slekker··on An Update on Apple M1/M2 GPU Drivers
Is that a fact or are you speculating?
slekker··on Rider is now free for non-commercial use
I'm learning F# and have been using VSCode. How different/better JetBrains Rider support for F# is?
slekker··on First images from Euclid are in
What we know about mathematics can't prove or disprove things we simply don't have any idea of. Think as if other beings would live in a different frequency plane (outside of our 3 spacial + 1 time), our instruments and theorems can't detect that.
slekker··on Kotlin Money
Sounds interesting! How would it look like? Do you have some code to share?
slekker··on Pledging $300k to the Zig Software Foundation
Lovely! Congrats ZSF and onwards!
slekker··on Rewriting Rust: A Response
Also Zig wants to have better memory safety before v1 - there's an issue tracking that in the zig org but I couldn't find it
slekker··on Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week
That's a shame, where I live we thankfully don't have ads on those!
slekker··on Amazon tells employees to return to office five days a week
Thank you for your work! I always wondered how those worked, and where the info came from, on top of what it runs on etc -- moreover I love seeing software built that directly improves people's lives :)
slekker··on Apple Watch Series 10
If only Garmin had an unlocked LTE watch, it would be perfect. I had been eyeing the Garmin Instinct Solar, with "infinite" battery and Garmin Pay, but to be able to leave my phone home I'd need LTE
slekker··on QtCS2024: Compile once, Run everywhere
Harsh reviewer IMO
slekker··on European iPhones are more fun now
> Samsung can become another Apple, but it's gonna take some effort.

For sure, and I hope they will, further competition is always good. I dont know numbers but I guess the ad revenue must be significant since the "generational leaps" and innovations on the mobile department arent there.

slekker··on European iPhones are more fun now
It's unfortunate that with Samsung phones you can't uninstall the myriad of bloat apps, not to say of their telemetry volume (compared to Apple at least).
slekker··on Russ Cox is stepping down as the Go tech lead
Thank you very much rsc! Golang not only helps me feed my family but also I created many friendships from using it :)
slekker··on Apple Maps on the web launches in beta
Same for me, and I am using an iPhone X with Safari
slekker··on Ask HN: Is it possible to make FAANG salaries without working there?
Great story. With most interviews nowadays happening on-line, how can you recognize companies such as your friend's?
slekker··on Enums in Go
You could do the same with a map[Color]struct{} and the lookup would be "if _, ok := Colors[Green]; ok {"
slekker··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2024)
If you joined while they were remote, you may stay so, but otherwise they are pushing for people to go back to the office. I guess they invested too much in real estate.
slekker··on Interface Upgrades in Go (2014)
But how do you avoid duplicating the interface in many places?

We've tried both approaches, declaring the interface in one package and importing it where used but also declaring it directly colocated with the consumer.

I've found the first approach worked better when we had to add or modify the interface methods

slekker··on The Denmark secret: how it became the most trusting country
When you say not advertised do you mean not even posted on LinkedIn and you have to go through the company's website yourself?
slekker··on The Denmark secret: how it became the most trusting country
Sorry but where are you finding these jobs outside of MAANG?
slekker··on The Denmark secret: how it became the most trusting country
Is there more homogeneity in their values instead of saying culture?
slekker··on The Denmark secret: how it became the most trusting country
> Most of Europe has similar taxation.

Countries like Czechia or France have lower income tax (5%-10% less)

slekker··on The Denmark secret: how it became the most trusting country
> 55% personal income tax rate? Yikes! 25% sales tax, 22% corporate tax. Those are some insane taxes.

They do have a tax reduction scheme, but you need an obscene salary for DK standards: https://www.bdo.dk/en-gb/insights/tax-and-vat/27-percent-tax...

slekker··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2024)
Do you sponsor visas?
slekker··on A leadership crisis in the Nix community
A shame Guix does not work on Mac and probably never will
slekker··on A leadership crisis in the Nix community
What does guix have to do with Nix (genuine question, not snarky)?
