I don't. Whenever I come back to HN, I may click on my username at the top right and see if my latest comments were replied. If I have the time to reply then I reply, otherwise no reply is ever attempted.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? A "verified-only" social network should pay me if they want to get my real id/passport. There' no chance I'll give so much information to a social network company.

If it's business the one that wants the estimation, then I take into account everything: unrelated meetings, bugfixing of important stuff that gets broken, potential sickness/holidays, etc. What's the point of telling busines

I would be more interested in image-to-text models. Does someone know of any decent model? I saw the GPT4 demo, and they showed that they do image-to-text... but then that was actually a fake (i.e., the model was interpreting the image file

Whenever I have to deal with logs, it's either: a) simplicity of rsyslog b) monstruosity of ELK | Grafana | etc. Somehow I like Prometheus (I think it's "simple"), but it's not enough to display and search for logs.

Does it really matter? Microsoft owns GitHub, and unofficially owns OpenAI, so MS can do whatever they want with their toys.

None. The moment you make me choose, you already lost me. Besides, who needs a "lifetime" subscription for anything tech-related? If any for my domain and email, but even for them I pay regularly every now and then.

Even if the loop is just one iteration, it's already breaking the internet. I cannot stand web sites that show the CloudFlare verification page before you can access. It's just ridiculous.

Never got that kind of perspective. You read a book if you think you'll like its content. Period. Knuth's books are no different. You probably know many colleagues of yours that have never read a technical book in their lifes and

I have a small mp3 (sandisk). About 16GB, around 4000 songs. I carry it with all the time (when travelling, when doing sports, when running, etc). The best thing is that it's small, so I can just hang it anywhere on my clothes and call

I believe it's a step backwards. If I cannot open your project locally in my favorite IDE, then you are handcuffed to a specific vendor... and that will hurt you in the long run.

I used to have only 1 CV (like you, I assume). Not anymore. Now I have some sort of a template with fixed parts (e.g., education, past experience)... but whenever I apply for a company I put on my CV 90% or so of the keywords they are looki

Yeah. In the past some companies were doing it every month or so, sometimes on Fridays at 16:00... and I attended only once. Somehow I thought they were doing it at such times because "it's Friday! Let's relax and stop workin

I have the opposite feeling by watching their mini video demos. All I see is: engineers blindly commiting and pushing what copilots spits at them. Not only that, also the PRs descriptions/comments will all be one TAB+enter away. That m

So, you have the ssh port (22? custom one?) open to the public on the same machine in which you have your web server/nginx? May I ask why? I had one similar very simple service on Digitalocean once, and my setup was: - bastion host: cu

For me this would work only on a "work" setting. Like, if I'm being paid to perform some tasks, then I want to be able to use tech like "a copilot for my mind". But outside it, I would rather prefer not. If you come
