But is this due to HN having an audience that is more to the right on the political spectrum or more tolerant of diverse opinions? Is there a way we can figure out which is which? Actually, it would be interesting to have a sort of (anonymo

I wouldn't be asking if I thought simple observation would do or if I were looking for anecdotes. "Simple observation proves it" isn't really an answer I can learn anything from.

How do we tell if this is so?

If you use an echo chamber to ask if you are in an echo chamber the answer will most likely be no.

Turning 30 was a lot harder than turning 40 or 50. While what I experienced wasn't how I understand a typical midlife crisis manifests, but I usually refer to it as my early onset midlife crisis. Both turning 40 and turning 50 was much

If you have never driven an old car (35 years or older) you should try. Especially if you can find one with a carburetor engine and a bit of power. It is gloriously relaxing.

Since several projects have done that one might ask them if they have considered this. For all we know, they may have discussed this with Semtech, in which case the status may be knowable.

Actually, what people say about code, and how you interpret what they say, depends a lot on what you know about the person in question. I know lots of programmers who can list lots of precise reasons why they think a piece of code is &quot

If the hysterically prudish standards of many online services were to be applied to museums containing old artifacts, they'd hack off Michelangelo's David's dick and put a pair of boxers on him.

When I develop server software I always include support for SQLite and PostgreSQL so I can run the server entirely stand-alone if I want to. Choosing whether to use the embedded database or connecting to PostgreSQL is a command line switch

Except, you never interact with the (os) threads. So it isn't complexity that the programmer deals with. Async/await also doesn't address data sharing, so we're not even talking about the same thing. You can implement

Go is marketed as having a programming model that is heavily influenced by CSP. This is one of the big selling points for Go and it is at the core of how it offers concurrency. It is hardly some footnote that is hidden away. It is pretty

It isn’t that it’s invisible. It’s just that you didn’t get it until now. I am not saying that to belittle the author. This is more an observation of how programming seems to have gone from understanding both yourself and what you are doing

If I was an editor of the publication that ran the article I would probably have said “yeah, I’m not running a piece about a architecture without pictures relevant to the subject matter. Come on, think”. If you want people to care, meet the

It would be interesting to see statistics on use of newer C++ in companies known to have relatively stringent coding standards and code review regimens. I suspect that it (still) isn't so much about crappy code as much of the value of

This is one of those things that has been at the edge of my attention for years, and when someone articulates and demonstrates it, I had an "aha! of course" reaction. :)

Confirmed broken. CSV file contained barely a dozen entries. Real list is hundreds. I guess Bitwarden secured itself a test-run. edit: for clarity, the downloaded csv was defective, the csv shown seems complete. This is a problem

So a company that requires users to trust them decides to be sneaky and untrustworthy. I just got a strong incentive to check out the competition.

Centralized vs distributed represents a non-trivial set of technological challenges and differences. Those challenges tended to be poorly understood by anyone who hadn't given the problem of designing a search engine much thought in t

The patent system is, if you strip off all the fluff, a mechanism for ensuring that inventions are communicated to a larger audience. At least that was the original intent. And then the world changed. A lot. It is easy to forget that beca

...or at least some syntax that represents layers like (block) scopes do in a programming language so it is visually easier to see what is going on.

No it isn't really about money, but about having an instinct for products, users, quality, and which opportunities are important and which are not. Have those in place and financial success will eventually follow. This doesn't me

All of the value of Yahoo was in the bits they could sell off. Yang did that right. That makes him a good/lucky investor. It doesn’t make him (or Filo) someone who gets it.

I think a winning play would have had to be based on some of their existing strengths rather than start something entirely green-field. For instance, there was a surprising amount of good platform technology at Yahoo! that could have gone

I think the main problem was that Mayer never managed to answer one simple question: "what is Yahoo supposed to be good at?". I'm not sure the comparison to Jobs is fair since Marissa had very limited leadership experience a
