Oh come on, that take is too cute by three halves. The internet was the biggest change in human society of the 20th Century, if not the millennium. And while you’re peeling that one apart, the transistor also laid the bedrock for GPS, moder

If you want to be sure you’re clearly understood, don’t use sarcasm (it’s a massively overrated and really cheap form of humor anyway). If you want to be funny, take the risk that you’ll be misunderstood. My problem is with people who want

Don’t encourage the /s, I only see people use /s when they’re writing something that isn’t funny enough to read as a joke or are doing sarcasm badly. Sometimes people make a joke that not everyone is going to get. That’s fine. But

Quoting the HN guidelines at people is a semi-noob practice, as old as the hills.

When people try and say that regulating stuff like this is impossible, I often think about how unreasonably great the regulations around “Unsubscribe” links in emails are. There really seems to be no loophole or workaround despite there bei

That sounds like an architecture issue. In 10 years I’ve used React for a wide variety of projects from digital publishing tools to realtime medical dashboards to WebRTC-based videoconferencing apps with 3D graphics. I’ve never seen a build

The thing I find most frustrating about “The Boring Revolution” is that it feels stuck in the particular year of 2015. Like, React has been out for 12 years. React is older now than Ruby on Rails was when the Boring essay came out. And yet

I gained about 50 pounds the past decade and the past year I’ve been trying to lose it. I weighed myself at the beginning: 205 lbs I started running 30 minutes per day (heartrate training targeting about 140-150), every day, for 10 months.

Yeah, I feel like in general we on HN give ourselves way too much credit in terms of our ability to drive public opinion or affect purchasing/usage patterns among the public. The idea of the “nerd-led revolution” may have had some impa

PaaS, Containerization and Serverless are different concepts. App Engine is PaaS: You provide your app to the service in a runnable form (maybe a container image, maybe not) and they spin up a dedicated server (or slice of a server) to run

Glad to hear you’re taking this stuff seriously, but you may want to be careful talking about this in detail in public without consulting a lawyer. Even if it seems like nothing is wrong with what you’re saying, anything that could be used

I have an M4 iPad Pro, it beats my M1 Max MacBook Pro on a lot of benchmarks, yet I cannot use it for programming, 3D modeling or VFX. Yes, I know that apps “technically” exist to do those things. No, those apps are not professional grade.

I think it feels dated because it’s from a time when there were far fewer hackers. It’s way easier to make sweeping generalizations (“hackers like X and don’t like Y”, “hackers have a Z-ish sense of humor”) about a small group and have it a

So on the one hand, all this Cosmo/ape/redbean stuff sounds incredible, and the comments on these articles are usually pretty positive and don’t generally debunk the concepts. But on the other hand, I never hear mention of anyone

Copyright law isn’t written to be reasonable. It doesn’t matter if the rightsholder wrote a song 65 years ago and hasn’t made money selling it for decades, it’s protected for the lifetime of the author plus 70 years. I’m sure everyone who c

I’m glad you’re in favor of UBI, but the number of people in the “dislikes unions, likes UBI” camp is extremely tiny (though likely massively over represented on HN). It’s true that if UBI was really on the table, this conversation could go

Programming is one of the only truly new job fields in the last century. But despite growing up right alongside the automation/offshoring of manufacturing, it wasn’t able to absorb the labor coming from that sector. Labor is not a fung

The people in these threads arguing that unions are a drain on society are not going to go for UBI-esque schemes, and currently UBI itself isn’t politically popular enough in general to happen. It’s not enough to have an idea of how things
