What Hacker News says?
The first I'm hearing of the "borrow checker"... so I started reading this https://blog.logrocket.com/introducing-the-rust-borrow-check... , and I got to the part where it says "Your programs have access to two kinds of memory where it can store values: the stack and the heap." They left out variables, which is odd.

HN discussionI disagree, microservices are an architectural concept related to the software, not to the infrastructure. Whether you are using containers or VPS or serverless or bare metal for your infrastructure, that's completely unrelated to the concept of microservices: you can deploy either a monolith or microservices in any of the above. As an example you can deploy a monolith on Lambda[1] or you can deploy microservices on…

HN discussionI have been lucky to not be impacted by hand or wrist pain. I did experience chronic back pain for years due to a pinched sciatic nerve, it can be debilitating and depressing. Chronic pain is a large precursor to suicide, if you have it, you need to get it fixed. My interest in this is from a FutureOfProgramming perspective, how can we interact with computers in different, higher order ways. What does the Mother of…

HN discussionI would argue that frontend libraries like htmx and React are not the place to build in ARIA attributes patterns/behaviours. In fact, none of the Big Ones do anything specifically w.r.t. announcing changes. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42625070 What would be the appropriate place, imho, would be component frameworks that are built on top of htmx. FastHTML is an example; they already have htmx integration…

HN discussionJust like you did in the browsers back in the day when you imported code from URLs with <script src="">, the "deno way" is supposed to follow browsers in these regards as well. And you can always use `npm`, `node_modules` and `import maps`[0][1][2] to kind of mimic "nodejs way".

HN discussionPersonally I think the most useful 'new' things in CSS that hardly anyone uses yet are the min, max, and Clamp functions. I wrote about them here https://blog.logrocket.com/min-max-clamp-css-functions/ - there are some real embarrassments in that article (probably due to me being busy with other things at the time of writing, and being outside my comfort zone [dealing with design]) - example silly statement: "these…
