It seems others have already answered you, but just in case: something can't "increase all the way up" and "peak" in the middle. Below iron fusing nucleons gives you energy; above iron it takes energy. If binding en

Svelte has been such a breath of fresh air after so many years with React. (I still like React.) All my new projects are built with Svelte. There are just a couple of patterns to ease the transition but once you get those it's just so

How about a co-op of scientists pooling money to rent the kinds of AI chips the big players are starting to put out? I’m sure there are holes in that argument too; but c’mon, this is hacker news. If we don’t try to overcome the hard challen

There was some considerable progress recently using AI to predict possible mutations. I wish I could find the link. That seems like a better way to go.

There is a technique I see none of the other comments have hit upon. First, know concentration is a skill, so develop that. I can tell you how to muscle up but if you can't pull up then knowing how won't help. You are able to conv

I'm a big fan and user of PyCharm for many years, but we all know that when my fan starts going and the laptop wants to take off, we can guarantee that PyCharm is indexing ;)

I think the engine is open source; but the real appeal is using the real time collab online tool, which is proprietary and had the drawbacks you mention.

Can’t help but feel we wouldn’t have to go too far back in time to discover people ate whatever they could. Are you likely to find evidence of fruit having been eaten?

The essential feature of it is that it’s a compiler. Things in general get easier to debug over time as they get improved, the basic concept is actually a very powerful. I’m a fan of svelte for the small things I’ve tried it on; there’s a

Overcoming competition and the installation funnel is more of a marketing/bizdev issue than development. Being able to navigate to a web page and be using "the thing" is also a better experience of installation for the end us

PWAs have an impressive feature list, and the site he links to is a nice demo of this. The main arguments to move this way (which are rational) are 1. Competition on app store (including installation funnel) and 2. 1 code base for all devic

That site is pretty painful to visit. Is it someone’s business model to submit stuff like this to hacker news? Edit: I mean it’s called BigThink; does the flashing adverts (on mobile) between every sentence not make that name a little ironi

Simple systems can indeed be made of complex components; however it is a measure of interconnectedness. The key concept is that we can only hold a finite amount of complexity in our heads at any one time, and so if we can minimise that we c

If you haven't seen this talk; watching it will make you a 10x better programmer. This is what I take for my definition of complex and it applies broadly in a very practical manner.

Your pricing model doesn't offer any benefit for paying annually; in fact, given the time value of money, it is a disincentive. Being paid up front means you can deploy that cash to grow.
