Have you ever used Notion? Feature-wise, it has nothing to do with spreadsheets, so the comparison with Excel is irrelevant. Comparing it to Notepad is only remotely applicable in that both could be used to take notes. As to why it is so po

Where do they claim to be “open source”?

by DandyDev 3y ago
I admit not to have read the whole paper, but in the intro nowhere do they mention “open source”, so it seems unfair to measure them by that definition
95.
by DandyDev 3y ago
It is open, just not by your definition. You can view, use and modify the code to your hearts content. Sounds pretty open to me!

That seems a little dramatic, no? I joined an AI startup in 2021 as the first employee. Both founders were already older than 30 back then. One of them was even 35+ gasp . We raised $40M+ since then. No OpenAI like valuation but by no mean

We use MongoDB in conjunction with RealmDB to build an offline first mobile app. For this specifically it works very well. You basically define which parts of your document collection should be synced to which device, for example based on a

Yep, it’s so sad. Every time Firefox is mentioned, there is someone that goes like “I have tried it but it was so buggy/slow for me” And meanwhile, I’m using FF as my daily driver with zero issues. And I’m quite sensitive to buggyness

Apologies for that! The only other version of the rider I could find was in a Google Groups thread. That felt even worse somehow

Absolutely! Honestly, I wouldn't trade my job for a US job 3x the compensation. I enjoy top health care, unlimited paid sick leave, unlimited vacation days with a soft-enforced minimum of 30 days per year etc. Am I sometimes jealous wh

How to tell you’re US-based without saying you’re US-based. All kidding aside, 150k is a lot of money where I come from (around Amsterdam). I lead the engineering department of 30+ people in a 3 year old startup and I earn less than that.

I think Docker is a great installation method. - People who use Docker (Compose) can easily get up and running with a project in minutes - People who dislike/don’t use Docker can at least use the Dockerfile and Docker Compose file as a

But then developers need to learn to play that game. What is the business/financial reason to create small images? Can you come up with a KPI that makes it clear to the whole business that creating smaller images is important? (e.g. in

I often read these kinds of comments on HN and I don’t understand them. I’m using FF on MacOS and it feels like exactly the same experience I used to have on Chrome. Except that I like multi account containers better than Chrome profiles. I

Please don’t take this advice as gospel. Cloudformation has a few problems: - it only lets you manage AWS resources. And even if you’re not running multi-cloud, you’re bound to have a bunch of non-AWS resources like a DB vendor somewhere th

Congrats on the launch! This certainly seems like a product for which a big market exists. As someone who is dealing with Salesforce integration in my own company, I have a question: how well does the Revert Salesforce integration work with

Not many companies hire CTOs through regular channels, and it’s likely you’ll be seen as overqualified for lower rank jobs. I think you can basically do 2 things: try to get into contact with executive head hunters or make it very clear on

Why don’t _you_ come up with examples where non-VC funded but successful businesses are doing well in part because they chose to ignore types? At this point, I’m not even sure what you are trying to prove and I’m starting to feel that whate

I would also prefer type checks to be done at runtime as well. The reason Python doesn’t do that is likely indeed the cost to performance
115.
by DandyDev 3y ago
So what you’re saying is that by introducing type checks, you’re actually uncovering bugs. Seems to me like proof of value right there. What does surprise me is that adding types to your PHP code adds _runtime_ errors. With Python, type an

That is an odd and cynical take. I see a TON of open source projects (frameworks, libraries etc.) on the frontend alone that are built using TypeScript. And on the backend Golang is hugely popular and Rust is gaining a lot of traction. All

As I understood it, we only have access to a few decades worth of high-grade uranium. After that we’re left with low-grade uranium which is hard to mine and refine - which incidentally you need fossil fuels to do (the mining part) With rega
