@sun @meeper Can I send you a patch by email? If yes, the friction is not high, let alone very high.

@penguin42 @hrw I hate submodules very much too. However, their implementation has become far less buggy in the last couple of years. It used to be extremely easy to break your repository completely with them. But in 2025 you can live with them with little trouble for months, maybe even years. BTW, it's "git submodule update". Don't do -f. The main remaining reason for my hate is how easy to is to forget to update them. And a less important reason is that branches are prevalent in modern git workflows (instead of cloning), and they conflict with submodules.

@david_chisnall @regehr I wonder what's going on in E2k land these days. Just a decade ago they didn't have register rename at all. The heart of the design was a large (64 or 128) multiport (4 minimum) register file. They claimed that performance was competitive against x86 made on a similar process (although sadly not world-beating).

@bagder The one time I saw HN comments, they were dumber than Reddit.

@sophie "YAML may seem ‘simple’ and ‘obvious’ when glancing at a basic example, but turns out it’s not. The YAML spec is 23,449 words; for comparison, TOML is 3,339 words, JSON is 1,969 words, and XML is 20,603 words."https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html

Funny social experienceA local company, ACS, rejected my job application. But a couple of weeks later, they organized a "Happy Hour" gathering, and provided beer and pizza for local engineers, in an evident recruitment effort.So I went there, ate my pizza, and asked: "so, why did you guys rejected me?" And they said: "our codebase is all in C++, and your C++ credentials are fairly weak, so..." Fair enough, I suppose.While I was looking for a job and going to interview, I learned that I was "a stereotypical C programmer". Hiring managers spare one glance for my resume and immediately put me into that kind of pigeon hole.All these years of Python and Go, and it cannot shake up the foundation that I laid down when I hacked on kernel.

Today was the last day of the sprint at my new job, and by a complete miracle I completed my first "MR" (which is the same as PR, only renamed by someone who wanted to be dumb like the inventor of KiB/MiB/GiB).

Authentic Microsoft Windows experience today: a dialog appears that says, "Something Went Wrong" (in bold), and adds (in smaller letters), "Contact your admin for help". I contacted my admin and he suggests to reboot, which obviously changes nothing.

They found a guy who knew the answer. It was something called "Copilot".

I mean, someone somewhat famous and influential still programs in Golang. The mooks at Sailpoint do a lot of that still, but I was sure it's a dead end.

The name of the company sounds awfully familiar for some reason.

@deprecated_ii What is there to implement in a dynamic array? Did you include the allocation of memory for it?
