This is a uniquely terrible article that doesn't bother with any kind of nuance. If you are using my service and I need to make backwards incompatible changes to my system, you can bet I'm going to force you to update. I'm no

Prolog is easily one of my favorite languages, and as many others in this thread, I first encountered it during university. I ended up teaching it for a couple of years (along with Haskell) and ever since, I've gone on an involuntary p

This is easily the stupidest thing I've read on HN in quite a while, and your continued arrogance in the rest of the thread doesn't help. Quite an achievement for a site so full of people who have a direct line from their ass to t

Slack is easily the worst platform I can think of using for something like this. Why would you not be using discord instead? You know, the free platform that every teenager is already using? You could archive your messages using any number

I'm wholly convinced that only people who have never tried to use web components for anything serious, and/or have basically no experience with web dev, are the only ones will make this argument. For example, a guy I know online w

> So your contention is with the word “always”? It doesn’t always mean worst case? I got told off by someone else for _not_ saying this. Using "always" is definitely wrong, but that isn't really what makes this wrong. Bono

TLDR: Different contexts, different analyses. You can do a best-case, average-case and worst-case analysis. A linear search is O(1) in the best case, for example. Maybe this comes across as nitpicky to some, but that doesn't make the t

Every time I see an introduction to Big-O notation, I immediately go look for a section about the worst case to find the most common, fundamental misconception that is present in nearly every such text. Lo and behold: > Because it's

Unfortunately, after using langchain and the rest of their ecosystem extensively, I have very little faith in their abilities. The fact that the top contributor to langgraph is an agent they built is a huge red flag from my perspective.

The whole presentation was full of completely broken bar charts. Not even just the typical "let's show 10% of the y axis so that a 5% increase looks like 5x" but stuff like the deception eval showing gpt5 vs o3 as 50 vs 47, b

What an embarrassing take. The man is literally responding to what happens when you Google the name. It's displaying his picture, most of the information is about him. He didn't put it there or ask for it to be put there.

Tangentially related: I bought a used MacBook air from my colleague to give to my girlfriend. It's the first apple device I've owned for more than a decade. I was expecting smooth sailing. From afar it's supposed to be so wel

It boils down to that there are not many good reasons not to. The vast majority of backends people write are really just relatively thin proxies to your database or something like that. They mostly wait on IO, which is perfect for node. It&

I find it easiest to just leave out the bugs in the first place. I put them aside for a rainy day. I now have a collection spanning a decade's worth of bugs. Just waiting for a reason to unleash them on the world. It will be biblical.

I think all this focus on degrees in your response as well as the others is misguided. I think the real problem is just that they don't give a shit. Giving a shit is the first step towards becoming competent. This isn't really sur

Yeah, maybe the original message sort of got lost along the way. I think there is still some truth in the post when applied to the title. I think one of the most important things I ever learned is that hard things take time. There is an obv

Saying you ported SAP makes no sense. You ported a program you wrote for the SAP platform. Porting all of SAP would be equivalent to porting all known human cancers from the human genome to a different newly discovered alien genome, both in

Because llms still suck at actually using all that context at once. And surely you can see yourself that your solution doesn't scale. It's great that it works for your specific case but I'm sure you can come up with a scenari

Want to elaborate on how you're going to magically disappear the inherent polymorphism in your problem domain every time? Sometimes you can indeed view things from a different perspective and come up with a simpler data model, but some

I think 90% of peoples issues with window management can be solved by using workspaces intelligently. I won't prescribe a specific method, but I personally keep certain things on certain workspaces. Browser on 1, dev on 2 and 3, chat o

No, you are still not getting it. MCP will never go away, or at least something like it will always end up existing. What you are describing, "web api calling abilities were to improve" will not change anything. What sort of impro

You are fundamentally misunderstanding what is happening here and how this is all works. "HTTP calling abilities of LLMs" is not some magic, new feature that is deeply integrated into LLMs. It's just a tool call like everythi

Tramp is tolerable, but it is absolutely not great. You went on to demonstrate that right after making that claim, where you manually (and insufficiently) hack around its issues to arrive at something that is only barely comparable to eg wh

This is not unavoidable in typescript at all. It really depends a lot on how you have structured your application, but it's basically standard practice at this point to use e.g. zod or similar to parse data at the boundaries. You may h
