Use a globe. It’s 2023 and we have computers at our fingertips everyday, use a virtual globe. Flat maps are cool and work well on paper, but you’re not likely going to need a map of a country on paper for travel.

Depends on the industry and the tech you choose. Wordpress started in 2003 and if you chose it back then, it's still kickin'. I just checked the website of the first job I had out of college, in 2004, for a niche tech company in t

The article reminds me of the early 2000s when we were all rolling our own XMLHttpRequest and replacing dom elements with html rendered from a java servlet. The more realistic and practical read is https://htmx.org/essays&#x

From having scraped HN job posts before, I’ve observed that it does take the full 2 weeks for these job postings to come in. I’d wait awhile before drawing any conclusions from today’s post. https://news.ycombinator.com/item

Similar to other comments, you can always ask. Maybe the line items of the cap table have sensitive info, so if you ask cap table directly, they’ll say no. But asking summary level questions about the cap table relevant to you may give you

Def. cool demo. As a polished product & ease of use, still has ways to go. Apple’s cut&paste of subjects in photos, while lacking SAM’s generality, is masterfully executed - even my 70yr old mom can use it.

I love how the first reply to this tweet thread is Grady Booch, co-inventor of UML and pretty influential Software Eng. person in the early 2000s. Totally agree w/him; GPT can roll the dice and decide if the diamond is on the bed or st

Not quite “hijacked” as the title implies. The corp already was admin of the GitHub org, with contributors having a level of access. Said contributors had their access lowered w/communication. I say fork it and move on w/your live

Good idea - can use work on data cleaning though; got a lot of duplicate listings for some songs searched. It’s like feeding Apple Music through Shazam - wonder why Shazam doesn’t do what you’ve done here
