It looks like github is just buggy in this case.

From what distance? I would have thought $1M wouldn't go far

Wait until they hear how much source code is thrown away to make software! I guess that's a bit ephemeral, but still probably similar in a lot of industries.

Clothes are weird shaped, weaves are rectilinear, it's a pretty tricky problem to solve. Unless someone manages to invent a non-rectilinear robot loom or something?

Solvinity is a pretty terrible company name.

Solvinity = Solvent Divinity

We're terrible at company and brand naming here in Europe. Just look at the "Wero" payment solution (formerly/currently iDeal). Like, who the hell came up with that stupid name?

The list of stupid European company names and product names are endless.

I agree, the Dutch iDeal was probably the better name. However I'm not sure if this is an uniquely European problem. Wero's counterpart 'Zelle' doesn't seem to be that much better of a name.

Only English-sounding names are cool. The terminal state of cultural domination.

It's called Wero, because it means we and euro in all of the official EU languages.

It sounds a bit like "giro" which was a physical mail-based way of transferring money. Not a bad name at all.

Why do you feel that Wero is a stupid name?

Because iDeal hints at what it’s for.

What is a “wero”? Ask your parents or children what they think an “I deal” does and what a “wero” does.

> Solvinity is a pretty terrible company name.

I find it okay'ish. At least it's unique. Say, as much as I like Mario Zechner (who doesn't like HNers anymore for whatever reason), naming your product "Pi" is just terribly bad.

Facebook was a good name (hate the company but the name was good). But "Meta" is just dumbfucktarded.

Wait... I've got an idea: I'm going to make a product and name it "Alt". Or "Control".

Really: there are a lot of totally unhelpful name that just confuses everybody, including search engines, humans, and LLMs but I don't think "Solvinity" is that bad.

I've always found Whatsapp a terrible name, but its so established now that 'apping' is understood. If you're big enough it seems that a bad name hardly hold you back.

Reminds me of the old joke:

After Bill and Melinda Gates have their honeymoon, Melinda says, "Now I know why you call it Microsoft."

"To whatsapp" is a common verb, but I have never heard anyone say "apping".

Where do you live where "apping" is understood?

Can confirm that it's an extremely common verb in The Netherlands.

Heard it many times in the Netherlands.

"needs clarification" looks like a pretty normal hardware design process as the details are finalised.

The rustcrypto crates seem a lot better maintained and will probably supplant ring in future. Ring maintenance seems hostile to use outside of expected use cases.

If they're already running a custom Linux kernel build, why did they have AF_ALG enabled? Seems the perfect situation to limit features to only those actually being used.

In the article they explain that some of their services use it.

And also as part of this, they have learned the lesson parent comment is trying to make: they called out that they are going to review their deployments and make sure there's no unused modules being deployed

They're talking about billions of dollars of market share, so how does debian get a mention being free? I'm suspicious of their methodology.

At least the infographics down the bottom are obviously full of slop

> Tokio’s dominance is function coloring at ecosystem scale

That isn't function colouring, but rather plain incompatible APIs/runtime. You could have the equivalent with non-async ecosystems.

How is docker a context switch overhead? It's the same processes running on the same kernel.

It depends, you could have an application with something like

FROM scratch

COPY my-static-binary /my-static-binary

ENTRYPOINT “/my-static-binary”

Having multiple processes inside one container is a bit of an anti-pattern imo

Sidecars? Not in a simple app.
