What kinds of feature richness are we to expect from edge runtimes? It seems like it’s just like a CDN that can execute code.

What makes you trust consensus? Consensus is fickle. Gold is unique in its physical properties. Even if you can’t agree on which country has a trustworthy currency, you have to trust gold.

Why not? What's to prevent two parties from creating a digital smart contract denominated in dollars? Don't we already do this with things like credit card pre-auth? And the best part is that the transaction is backed by a predict

Gold is the world's best physical commodity to use as a store of value -- it doesn't degrade or tarnish, is easily molded into coins or other symbols, melts easily, has a highly fixed supply (synthesizing it is prohibitively expen

We are using the pre release version of Nuxt v3 in production. I really like Nuxt’s developer experience and it is my go-to for front end development. As a backend, I truly don’t pay much attention to whether it’s Firebase + Workers, Vercel

It’s not just incompetence, it’s much much deeper. Take for instance a consulting company placed on a project for another company. The consulting company might have one key person, but then adds three other workers to the project to impress

We had ~10 apps on heroku until last month. We have been migrating to Cloud Run and Cloudflare Pages recently and love it.

Yes of course there is a dollar amount where it stops becoming worth it, but the primary rule is simply whether the amount is sufficiently negligible. It is not whether the amortized return on investment beats the specific dollar amount. As

I could just as easily alter the variables for various mortalities to make $150/month seem expensive by that logic. Paying $150 vs $300 per month for life insurance doesn’t suddenly make it “worth it”

This is a complete misunderstanding of probability, payoff, and return on investment. The value of a life insurance policy isn’t in its amortized yearly returns. This policy is not an investment. The policy allows you to pay a negligible am

It’s even worse that this. A SPAC is basically like an inverse bullshit detector. If a company can raise private capital then it would, given the lower scrutiny. If it was mature and low-risk, it would IPO to lock in major institutional cap

Absolutely. I moved several projects from Heroku on to more modern alternatives and was surprised that many were actually just totally free. For example, I had some Vue apps that could be rendered as static sites and hosted on Cloudflare Pa

PayPal has had this for a very, very long time. I use it all the time, and it works great. So what am I missing? I also have Apple Pay enabled. It works great as well. The use of hardware verification vs a browser redirect gives it some nic

I called it ages ago -- this company is an utter train wreck. I am honestly ashamed of the entire industry for birthing and fostering this basically fraudulent company. Its mistakes and lies are compounding on themselves, creating awful out

What does it look like to fire someone in Europe? As an outsider, all I’ve heard is that it looks very different from the US. What does the author mean by ‘associated compensation’?

Take every major future scenario and make sure you have some idea of how your strategy and portfolio survives it. There is no difference between a useful and useless economic prediction in a highly uncertain environment — they’re all roughl

My opinion on why this particular community on HN is interested in crypto collapse stories is a) that we are probably embedded in the tech world already so a “happy” story (fund raise, adoption) just isn’t notable enough. Same reason why ca

If you look at these “degenerate” parameterizations, they’re clearly islands in the sea of weight parameter space. It’s clear that what you’re searching for is not a “minimum” per say but an amorphous fuzzy blobby manifold. Think of it like

So what’s the damage? Is this company completely fraudulent, embellishing, or genuinely worth it? Having never seen or used this product/feature on any site I am totally unaware. I have also never met anyone who has used their product

I disagree with the other reply. I think it was his brainchild, though more recently I've only heard horror stories/shitposts about Evan's management style.

Try to commercialize it, but fail to create much of a moat from it. Just like their past commercialization efforts.

As a counterpoint, I absolutely love my LG Ultrafine 5k. I bought a second one even. Never had any issues at all, and I love taking video calls, doing design work, etc. on them.

Hire a contractor or junior dev. Even if they aren't good at what they do, the very act of waking up in the morning to have a check-in and answer questions will motivate you. Most solo devs/founders don't do this because they

Consulting is a great way to make money, period. A decently talented software developer can amass enough projects to overtake their salary at any desk job. However, I would not recommend using consulting income to supplement entrepreneurshi

I love in-office culture. I really, really do. However, I think the only real way to create team bonding in modern global organizations is the "on-site", a semi-regular team convergence to a specific place, often in a work-live en
