Type checking is a symptom, not a solution

news.ycombinator.com Paul Tarvydas 2025-11-19 21:56:19

What if the programming industry’s decades-long obsession with type checking is solving the wrong problem entirely? What if our increasingly sophisticated type systems—from Haskell’s category theory to Rust’s borrow checker—are elaborate workarounds for fundamental architectural mistakes we’ve been making since the beginning? The software industry has convinced itself that type checking is not just useful, but essential. We’ve built entire programming languages around the premise that catching

Season three of Foundation is nearly at its end, and the galaxy is in deep trouble. We’ve long known the fall of Empire would usher in a long period of darkness, something the Foundation was set up hundreds of years ago to try and mitigate. But while the end seems certain, exactly how it’ll come about has not yet been clear. The villainous Mule is certainly helping nudge things along… but might another doom-bringing element also emerge? “The Paths That Choose Us,” the ninth and penultimate epis

Stairs are one of the last big challenges to be overcome by robot vacuums. Cleaning performance is getting better with each new model, for both vacuuming and mopping, and robots are better able to navigate spaces and obstacles. But until now, none have been able to climb stairs. That’s set to change with Eufy’s Marswalkers and Dreame’s new Cyber X concept, which our sister site PCMag was able to see in action at IFA, the tech show in Berlin. “Eufy’s version resembles a space rover, while the Dr

Protobuffers Are Wrong (2018)

I’ve spent a good deal of my professional life arguing against using protobuffers.

If these problems of protobuffers remained quarantined in serialization abstractions, my complaints would end there. But unfortunately, the bad design of protobuffers is so persuasive that these problems manage to leak their way into your code as well. Ad-Hoc and Bu
