Hi HN! I’m publicly releasing BraiMax Chess, a web app I built during the last three months; it’s based on a training technique which brought me from around 1700/1800 to 2000 rating (superblitz) on lichess. Here it is: https:/&#x

I mostly agree with what you said, and I'm also skeptical enough about LLMs being a path towards AGI, even if they are really impressive. But there's something to say regarding these things not getting ideas or self-starting. The

Whatever their reasons, I'm very happy to be able to use a much simpler alternative to K8s to orchestrate my apps on bare metal servers.

I'm pretty proficient with SQL, and I completely agree that you need to know it well if you use a relational DB for something that isn't trivial, but I still love using ActiveRecord. In most web applications I worked on I needed t

If you control your own server, it's very easy to deploy a Rails application. The downside is that you need to keep up with patching, ensuring that the disk doesn't become full, etc. etc. Deploying Rails to PAAS solutions is also

I'm getting several per week in Italy, now mostly about Amazon stock - previously it used to be mostly about crypto something. So boring.

My point is that your productivity with a given tool also depends on your own preferences/cognitive style. Between Ruby/Rails and Python/Django, my assessment, even if I don't know the latter anywhere as well as the firs

LOL at Saudi Arabia and Iran rapprochement. It's more likely that Putin wins the peace Nobel prize.

From a very long time rubyist: if you care a lot about code elegance, I think you could like ruby/rails more. If for you it's more important that there is only one correct way to do things, then probably sticking with python &#x2F

You make a general point about government regulation, and the answer is that choices made by individual consumers can affect other people too. Should people be given the choice of using leaded gas? Then we can discuss if the GDPR protects i

I understand the idea, but it requires: * great ability at naming methods - which isn't very common * massive discipline at RE-naming methods when they get changed even slightly to do something more Regarding the latter, I've seen

Let's say that some country didn't have the Sharia in their tradition, and that a new social movement proposed to adopt it. By your definition, those opposing that proposed change should be defined "conservatives", even

Agree. I still check FB from time to time hoping to see something from friends and acquaintances, but my main "social media" has become a family group chat on WhatsApp.

Russia is indeed retreating from the Kiev front, not because of some genius strategy, but because they failed to achieve their initial goals, lost a ton of material and troops, and now they need to regroup those troops which were attacking

Showing support for Ukraine is good, but blocking Russian visitors can only help Putin make ordinary Russians - which jad no say in his war policies - feel under siege, which is exactly what Putin wants.

Making good architectural choices for complex problems/solutions is difficult with any framework or language though. What I like with rails is that it's easy to work on the easy parts, but it doesn't stop you to make more com

I suppose it all depends on how you measure "progress"? If I run a stand up meeting and you tell me that you found out that the problem you're working on is more complex than it looked, and that you didn't write a line o

This is an interesting article, even if it suffers from giving voice almost only to the critics of this change. I would be interested in learning if there are also real experts who think the plan can work, and how.
