v VS hn-search

Their site is clearly showing the language is in beta. The V documentation also states that autofree is WIP, and to use the GC instead. This isn't a corporate created language, but looks to be a true volunteer open source effort from people around the world.

Their community, in comparison to others, even has their discussions open and open threads for criticism[1]. These

V also has this https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#embed_fil...

Goroutines was the selling point for me until they decided to introduce telemetry in their toolchain; that was what forced me to stop using Golang as a whole.

About GC, I would say: if you implement C++'s RAII mechanism to replace garbage collection, then I believe this project will have a bright future.

My final question is the following: how `pcz` compares to V language, from a syntax's perspective [1]?

V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, has always responded well to constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub, unlike those for various other languages. They even have a thread for what people don't like and want improved about the language[1], again, something many other languages don't have.

A lot of what was going on initially, was coming from obvious competitors, to include being uncivil, inflammatory, and insulting. The initial "criticism" was not so much that, but false accusations of the language being a scam, vaporware, fraud, or didn't really exist. To include attacks and jealousy about its funding and having supporters. This was not any kind of "valid" criticism, that the creator or contributors of the language could reason about.

The "criticism" never died down, but rather after V was open-sourced and established itself on GitHub. The initial series of false accusations could not stand nor could the support it was getting be stopped. So, the rhetoric and targets shifted to whatever could be found to go after on the newly released alpha version of the language and its new website. In that new mix of what was being thrown at it, there were indeed some very valid criticisms, as can be found with any new language.

Constructive and valid criticism, is not the same as insults, trolling, misinformation, rivalry, or false accusations. There is clearly a difference. It's disingenuous to pretend something from one group is the same as the other, or that the intent behind what is being done is not different.

Sorry for the offtopicness, but trollish usernames aren't allowed on HN, so we've banned this account.

If you want to pick a different username, we can rename it for you and unban the account, as long as the username is genuinely neutral.

Lazier than you think! You almost nerdsniped me into seeing how fast I could whip up a crawler but then I checked the search and found out it can find comments and use a custom date range.

We really do love pudding.cool[1]- I'd never bothered to go look at what it's actually all about till today, and you should too if you've not, because it wasn't exactly as I expected: https://pudding.cool/about/

Is this post showing a bug in HN? It says it was posted 10 hours ago, but Algolia says it was posted 2 days ago

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...

And mehulashah's comment that the thread claims was posted 7 hours ago was also posted two days ago, according to Algolia

From https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... it looks likethere are like 5 or 6 post per year.

hey hn, supabase ceo her

we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])

we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]

the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.

on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread.

Hi Peter,

I have an offer to study a CS Masters in the US. I have two questions:

1) What are my options after my 3 year STEM OPT ends? Can you comment on the likelihood of being able to stay in the US after? Do I need to be working for a company capable of sponsoring me (e.g. FAANG)?

2) Let's say I don't do my Masters in the US – what is the process of getting a visa if I raise from a US VC?

Thank you for helping us all! :)
