If you care ONLY about your health

yohannesk · 5 months ago
But is that even true? If you get enjoyment out of a drink in moderation, that affects your mental health which in turn affects your physiological health no? So maybe it's not healthy for all individuals to abstain completely. I don't drink except on holidays/events with friends or family where I can get the effects in 1 or 2 beers haha

As an Ethiopian man, I view this new Nobel Peace Prize with profound skepticism, a feeling rooted entirely in the disastrous outcome of Abiy Ahmed's utterly undeserved award. The premature praise he received for peace-making quickly evaporated, leading instead to a catastrophic war and the fragmentation of our nation. His prize has been followed by widespread conflict, massive displacement, and an alarming return to authoritarian rule. For us, the entire Nobel Peace Prize now feels meaningless, a hollow symbol given its failure to prevent—or perhaps its role in emboldening—such terrible suffering in Ethiopia

Why not abstract away the public static void main(String[] args) method with a top-level statement paradigm, similar to C#'s entry point simplification, to reduce boilerplate and enhance code conciseness?

> The refusal to accept code that the developer knows is correct,

How do you know it is correct? Did you prove it with pre-condition, invariants and post-condition? Or did you assume based on prior experience.

Writing correct code did not start after the introduction of the rust programming language

I haven't had an issue with that personally (played on and off for almost 10 years), though I imagine it could be an issue on some older hardware. Massed units will cause lag in big team games where there's 4 armies clashing, though that might be more of a network thing.

I am curious as a non game developer, are these types of games deterministic? If so if I send to the server that I moved huge units to attack another huge units, can the server determine what the end will be? Why do we face a network issue?

Back up your $20 a month subscription with a $2000 Mac Studio for those days your internet is down.

Peak HN.

yohannesk · a year ago
Even more absurd is that Mac Studio with 512GB RAM costs around $9.5K

Just tried it on our codebase. Getting over a thousand errors, a good portion of which seem to be:

    ../../../tmp/typescript-go/built/local/lib.dom.d.ts:27982:6 - error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'KeyType'.
    27982 type KeyType = "private" | "public" | "secret";
               ~~~~~~~

      ../../../tmp/typescript-go/built/local/lib.webworker.d.ts:9370:6 - 'KeyType' was also declared here.
        9370 type KeyType = "private" | "public" | "secret";
                  ~~~~~~~
Probably an easy fix.

Running it in another portion results in SIGSEGV with a bad/nil pointer defererence, which puts me in the camp of people questioning the choice of Go.

If you are wondering why not Rust instead of Go, they outline why Rust was not chosen. This is a port not a reimplementation. Many of the data structures can not easily be ported to Rust, such as Nodes with cyclic dependencies. Check the longer interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10qowKUW82U&ab_channel=Michi... Also, I think the discussion on esbuild's choice of language applies here as well as it has a large similarity. You can find it here on hn

> it also builds self-esteem.

Well crafted dig.

yohannesk · a year ago
I don’t think there was any dig implied. And I will second that it will add to self esteem. Specially during discussions if you have more understanding about the code you will have both better contribution and take away
