I hate the UI layer, for this reason. Nothing is ever stable. I'm looking for "Boring" and "Googleable in the age of AI slop". The other alternative are frameworks small enough to easily comprehend. The UI is oft

I think the ability to own property should be a fundamental right. More so than you're ability to convince a zoning board to not build high density housing.

It does indeed. It seems to understand the way you want your unit tests written. So if you have a particular style, it's best to write one or two tests in your style, then it will use that same style when it starts writing tests. You

The problem with freedom in California, is that they see freedom as the freedom to not have high density housing near you. I literally think until those people have no where to live, will the politics change.

As a reviewer, I've been guilty of letting a PR sit for a month, mostly because there were higher more critical things that needed my attention. Lately, I don't want code to be perfect, because my code never was in the first place

Yes and no. I think the issue primarily is that I could never just generate a new newsgroup back when usenet was popular and get it to syndicate with other servers. The other issue is who's going to host it? I need a port somehow (CG

I use MS Copilot in python and it's really good. Particularly at writing unit test cases. Unit tests are a major win for LLMs.

A singular data point here, but if I ask MS Copilot to write me a unit test in python/django it will more often get it right the first time than in golang. The golang code tends to reference things that don't exist. These aren&#

There are two (I mean three) reasons that home prices are inflated. 1. There are a lot of people trying to buy homes vs the supply of available homes on the market. 2. Rich people are looking for investments in real estate and buying up p

It's not enough to make money in an honest way. The real trick is to make it in a dishonest and immoral way, but still calling it legal.

In golang, `panic()` and `return err` are two different ways of unwinding the stack. 80% of my error handling in go is `return nil, err`. But there's no reason syntactic sugar couldn't be applied for something like `when err { r

My only wish is that Hacker News allowed satire by clearly marking content with '[satire]' at the end. Without humor the only option is to end up in controversial squabbles.

Today's hardware typically consumes as much power as it wants, unless we constrain it for heat or maybe battery. If you're undervolting a GPU because it doesn't have a setting for "efficiency mode" in the driver, th

Not all languages are perfect. I'm leaning towards the ones where the creators at least acknowledge the flaws in the language they've created.

Hard disagree here. Instead of one type of error handling, there are two: panics and err. Panics could effectively be replaced with os.Exit() if you really wanted to exit. If anyone says Go is Great without addressing this issue, they&#x2

Increasing performance per watt means that you can get more performance using the same power. It also means you can budget more power for even better performance if you need it. In the US the limiting factor is the 15A/20A circuits wh

I don't think it does. Keep in mind though that 3blue1brown is peanuts compared to Mr. Beast. I would not be surprised if Youtube has a team dedicated to keep Mr. Beast happy.

Here's a scenario. You get into an argument. The other guy is a cop it turns out. He arrests you for a trumped up charge and makes sure to tell the media. Child sexual abuse is the charge. Now what?
