This idea that engineers all make 300k is laughable. Maybe some people on here make that much, but I certainly don't. Not to mention 40k a year puts you in the top 1 percent of salaries worldwide...so unless you make less than that, y

This is a big one. SWE salaries are good, but people throw around 300k like some average 24 year old is making that easily. I'm 26 and have set to meet that median salary. These hyped salaries are more like a gold rush like NFTs where

There is certainly truth to this, but surely there is some middle ground where I don't need to invite constant commentary about pop culture and events I don't have control over. I could delete twitter, but that's essentially

Saying most languages can...etc is leaving the door open for people to comment on their favorite languages that can, so forgive me for this, but Zig can! const MyNumberUnion = union { small: u8, medium: u16, large: u32, } The values of MyNu

Plus having cosmetic items essentially subsidizes the game for everyone, aka its free because money can be made off those that want to spend on cosmetics.

"Python is a popular choice, but I think it's a horrible pedagogical language." Something like this occurred to me when I learned Javascript. Python is so easy initially, but its interesting how the CS principles of it are n

Makes sense. Humans are computers that are programmed to chase dopamine, so we favor the quick release / intense dopamine activities aka addictive ones.

To add to this, I feel like half of the good github projects are doing something just because you can.

Only partially related, but I am so surprised that lack of sleep seems to be normalized in the medical industry (or at least appear to be, I am not a doctor). I would think we would want doctor's brains running at 100%

I've been seeing a lot of posts about Zig recently. Out of curiosity is there a specific reason these are more common (like a recent big project or release)? Not hating, just wondering. EDIT: Just saw there was a new release 10 days

Man, I am a young junior developer so I am not aware of all the history of programming, but this past decade really seems like the renaissance of low level programming (at least in terms of new languages) On another note, as a fan of both C

Funny you mention this because I have a relative who works in the automobile industry who compared Holmes to Musk (Just sharing his point of view, don't shoot the messenger). I will say though misrepresenting products or taking advanta

Not to pile on, but that's just not how AI works. Basically then, Alexa must be shut off from searching the internet at all, since anything its algorithm finds would be company endorsed. And search engines certainly do give on answer,

I had no idea there was physicists that quit the field. Does anyone know any articles or anything on this? Sounds interesting to read what their thoughts were.

Just out of curiosity, why THC + caffeine? I am a regular coffee drinker, but never smoked at the same time. Is it the caffeine gives you focus, but the THC removes the jitters and antsy-ness that goes along with it?

I think the intention is more to try an avoid every comment just being "China bad, F*ck Intel" We all know there are human rights abuses in China, but no amount of emotional comments on an HN thread is gonna fix that. It would be

As someone who switched majors and became programmer, I experienced a great example of this when I first started programming. Starting out, if I spent a whole day thinking over a problem or writing code that I ultimately had to scrap, I wou

Surely Python gets that honor over Go. As much as I like Go, Rust, C, over Python, I would never say the reason is readability.

I don't want to sound like a smart ass, but I feel like a good alternative to Alexa is just doing all that yourself. I have never had an Alexa but surely there isn't that much time saved by having it turn off lights. Siri on your

I think you are missing what the comments point was. Cyberpunk could have been delayed again, but it still would have been bad. The Witcher 3 could have had less crunch and released a year later and been as much of a success, but the studi

Unpopular opinion incoming: The solution is consumers paying way higher prices for games. The reason games are rushed is because labor is a huge cost, and it isn't cost effective to continually bleed money waiting for revenue. Easier

Not to send like a person on Blind, but keep in mind: With almost 7% inflation, any job that doesn't give you a 7% pay increase, is giving you a pay decrease.

This hack has made me realize how many companies use old versions of things. I see now why frameworks and languages prioritize backward compatibility.
