Only because the likes of Vercel and Netlify barely offer anything else on their free tiers.

When people go AWS, Azure, GCP,... other languages take the reigns.

Do you have any stats on the latter?

Depends what you're actually storing. There are plenty of cases where the timezone is not metadata; it defines how the datetime should be interpreted.

For example: your local mom and pop corner store's daily opening and closing times. Storing those in UTC is not correct because mom and pop don't open and close their store based on UTC time. They open and close it based on the local time zone.

Storing them in UTC is valid here also, but their IANA time zone string should also be stored ‘somewhere’.

If Apple sold their own toilet, you can damn well be certain you'd pay a per-shit fee as their customer. This is exactly what you get supporting a platform that relies on monetizing it's users.

Weird comment. I have three or four Apple devices at the moment and I don’t pay Apple a subscription fee for anything, let alone pay-per-use fees.
ovao commented on Ask HN: Who's been hired through Hacker News?    · Posted by u/snow_mac

I posted (about three years ago now) in a Who Wants to be Hired thread. Admittedly, it was kind of on a whim, since I’d just left a job in operations after feeling burnt out, and thought I might dip my toes in the water of software dev full-time. I was contacted by four or five companies, I interviewed with three, and landed a gig with the company I’m still with currently.

For what was a two sentence post I made thinking it wouldn’t really amount to anything, it turned out to be one of the best moves I’ve made. (For both parties, I’d say.)

Time is limited, why waste time talking about a third when you've already decided against it?
ovao · 2 years ago
Who’s to say he’s necessarily right? The third approach (or pieces from it) could actually be the right one, even if he doesn’t know it.

Many tried c++ in early 90s, but wasnt it too slow/memory intensive? You had to implement lots of inline c/assembly to have a bit of performance. Nowadays everything is heavily optimized, but back then not.
ovao · 2 years ago
If you’re referring to game dev specifically, there have been (and continue to be) concerns around the weight of C++ exception handling, which is deeply-embedded in the STL. This proliferated in libraries like the EASTL. C++ itself however is intended to have as many zero-cost abstractions as possible/reasonable.

The cost of exception handling is less of a concern these days though.

He's also a very racist person.

I’d be curious to know why you’d say that.

Considering Google and advertizers have been scamming us for decades, I'm just clawing payback.
ovao · 2 years ago
Which advertisers have been scamming us? And does that subset encompass everyone who advertises on YouTube?

isodev · 2 years ago
If starship succeeds, it will be because of the hundreds of smart people who work there, despite Mr “bring my sink to work”.
ovao · 2 years ago
It seems a bit naive, given his list of business successes, to think that the positive things that happen at these companies under his leadership only happen because his employees overcame him as the obstacle to success.

I can understand not liking his politics or what have you, but logically speaking, what you’re suggesting doesn’t make any sense.

Would it be asking too much for you to argue in good faith? That would stop the discussion from derailing. If you can't then maybe don't comment at all?
ovao · 2 years ago
I didn’t make an argument; I posed a question to the parent.
