The Hacker’s Tribute Vol. 70: Origami Websites Get Personal

Dearest Hackers and Mind-Benders!

There’s magic in the air, and we know you feel it too! It could be the power of a half-million lines of Go, the sophistication of ViewfinderJS’ browser isolator, or Jolie’s service-first programming language… Or perhaps we’re in awe of the age of optimism in the technological community with ClickHouse. Maybe, just maybe, our delight is at the elegance and passion of personal Origami websites. In fact, I’d say it’s a combination of all of these things.

We say it’s a perfect issue blending sophisticated solutions with classic attitudes to problems. Come see for yourself – it’s the old world, meeting the new one!

Sincerely,

Dan ‘the Man’ Kowalski

500,000 Lines of Go

Half a million of anything seems like a great deal. And when it comes to the Go programming language, that’s a colossal effort indeed. But after hitting this ego-enticing milestone, several engineers have begun issuing their two cents on the matter. What’s most noticeable is its verbosity compared to Python. But as it turns out – that’s a good thing! With such velocity, impeccable tooling, and astronomical production value, it’s an investment well-made. See how these brainiacs attempted Goliath using this programming language – to joyous fanfare!

Origami Websites Get Personal

Your most attractive quality is your passion for something. It could be food, travel, or a hobby of some sort.

A genuine website takes time, and this post explores everything you would need to begin from scratch.

ViewfinderJS – Alone, but Never Lonely

Sometimes, hiding in plain sight might just get you out of trouble. As a browser-within-a-browser, ViewfinderJS is precisely that.

Jolie at your service

The building blocks of sites are now seen as something different entirely. Jolie tokenises vital functions and renders them as replicable services, made to duplicate to your heart’s desire.

It’s protocol-agnostic, utilises dynamic error handing for parallel code, maintains solid foundations – and much more. With such a portfolio, it’s no wonder it inspired the stage name of Hollywood types!
