The thing is though, you're just as likely to be not improving things. I think we can realize another reason to just ship it. Startups need to be always moving. You need to keep turning the wheel to help keep everyone busy and keep the

100% yes. Python mostly encourages simple, stupid code. Code that you can still read while 2 beers in. Rails, on the other hand, encourages being as clever as possible at all times. Forget about local side effects when any part of the codeb

Seems kind of excessive to send them to jail when the prisons are already pretty full. Might be more productive to do summary executions?

With the current admin I don't think they really have any legal exposure here. If they ever do get caught, it's easy enough to just issue some flimsy excuse about ACLs being "accidentally" omitted and then maybe they sto

Sure, though that list of Windows-exclusive software keeps getting shorter. You have my condolences though.

It's really easy to just try different distros and desktop environments out. For me, KDE Plasma has been an excellent vaguely Windows shaped Windows replacement. With MacOS dropping subpixel support for text and with the cleartype pate

From the outside, it seems especially baffling. You and I know these companies likely won't make it, and the toil will have been for nought. Something in the water is making people glorify working this hard for its own sake. To each hi

Amusingly, the chart shows Rust's popularity starting from before its release. The rust hype crowd is so exuberant, they began before the language even existed!

It's too expensive for that unless you had a pretty generous subscription fee. I think local models are probably best suited for gaming where a decent GPU is already likely present.

I shudder to think anyone still has OSX connected to the internet. How many unpatchable critical vulnerabilities are there already?

Wouldn't this require the API provider to know that tbe citizen is connecting to the app? Grindr users might be squeamish about letting the current US admin know about that.

Any significant amount of fasting is a quick way to get some very unpleasant headaches for me. No thank you.

It's crab mentality. The goal is to ransack the country and make life as bad for the rest of us as it has been for the die hard Trump voters. Our suffering is the point.

Convincing the entire world to use its currency and sell it things cheaply is apparently somehow bad for America? I think you're about to get a very expensive lesson in economics.

The distinction isn't super important, but 23andMe doesn't have your whole genome, just some specific locations from it. Roughly 750k base pairs or so. https://www.quora.com/How-much-of-the-genome-does-23andMe-se..

I agree entirely with this post. Considering that it is posted on HN which has very much promoted the startup hustle lifestyle for so long, this feels a bit like the buyer beware that comes 15 years after the fact. Something to consider for

This feels like email all over again. In the early days of email, everyone had their own IMAP server, and it was good. Then spam happened. Slowly it got harder and harder to jump through all the hoops needed to ensure your email was deliver
