If it was rust, they'd still be compiling.

TBH, most articles like this read like industry propaganda intended to promote rate increases. It seems to work.

Is that also factoring in demand charges? I find this gets forgotten in a lot of discussion of industrial rates, when it is often a large factor in the effective $/kwh.

I'm happy to see this take gaining some steam. Python got a lot of love while it was growing to where it is now. IMO, that was largely well deserved. But it seemed like a lot of people overlooked why it was loved. Most of us weren&#x27

This sounds very similar to the dgx spark, which still hasn't shipped afaik.

I'd guess that a long narrow escalator could make someone feel "trapped", in a way that regular stairs generally wouldn't.

For the web ui (chat)? I actually really like gemini 2.5 pro. For the command line tool (claude code vs gemini code)? It isn't even close. Gemini code was useless. Claude code was mostly just slow.

What is performance like for you? I've been shocked at how many simple requests turn into >10 minutes of waiting. If people are getting faster responses than this regularly, it could account for a large amount of the difference in e

I've been playing around with go quite a bit lately, and now think that being bundled is actually a really serious advantage. Being able to just to "go fmt", without needing any additional tools, is a really great thing about

I'm not shocked. It reminds me a bit of the way some people talk about their personal investing. They'll talk about wins (often exaggerated) and leave out the travails and failures. Next think you know, your friend is telling you

I'm starting to learn that AI progress is just really hard to talk about. On the one hand, I completely agree with you. I've even said before, here on Hacker News, that AI is underhyped compared to the real world impact that it wi

I once wrote a little generalized yaml templating processor in Python by using an LLM for assistance. It was working pretty well and passing a lot of the tests that I was throwing at it! Then I noticed that some of the tests that failed wer

What law does this? All that I can find are laws limiting liability for use of a properly functioning weapon, not against defects.

AFAIK, the version in the app store has poor performance compared to the "sideloaded" version. This is due to Apple rules.

Yep, and who cares about the FOSS OS part? We could combine Macos and Windows too! Think of all the money and time that could be saved by having a single global unified OS team! I know, people have difference preferences, yada yada.

This sounds exactly like what we used to say about Gentoo back in its early days.

Ouch. I was really hoping this wasn't so common, but I guess it is. I'm sure they heard somewhere that "joins are expensive" or something along those lines, so they solved it!

A lot of people will spend dozens of hours and tens of thousands of their company's money to avoid learning Java. I'm not even sure if I'm joking. :)

I've noticed a trend in the last few years toward more and more DMs within our teams, and I really don't think it is a good thing. An amazingly large number of questions are generally applicable, but it is really hard to maintain

People tend to focus on demand, but just getting vehicles like this into production at a profitable cost often turns out to be impossible. It is a 10-15k/year product at best. How does an independent maker get that profitable at <$5

The fundamental issue is that most AI tools are solving the wrong problem. We've never had a hard time writing code for well defined requirements. What we've had a hard time with is understanding what this article calls legacy cod

I changed my mind about batteries for stationary storage fairly recently. The 1k reports that seemed biased (and still seem biased) didn't help. The understanding that I had not calculated depreciation correctly helped, as did a better

That isn't true for Tesla's 4680 that was briefly in the AWD Model Y and is currently in the Cybertruck. They are well behind the leaders in range and charging, but the company claims that they are competitive with cells from thei

I agree with you, tbh. Whether something is over hyped or under hyped is a truly strange thing to debate given that the position can almost never be objectively measured.

I'm often shocked at how complicated Spring and Spring Boot are, but then I remember that they won against EJB 2.x. They are certainly less complex than a lot of the messes from that era.

+1 - I've been shocked at how many little portability issues that I've had shipping software, even within the relatively constrained environment of fellow employees. Minor differences between distro versions can make a big differe
