Statistics can also be gamed, and this article reeks of it. As other commenters are saying, Mississippi children's actual achievement rates are still bottom of the barrel. So while they might be statistically doing better, they'

One tiny thing that I think OP is missing is the fact that the phrase can also perfectly double as mockery (even if the wider industry hasn't picked up on that yet). Seriously, the fact that the vibe coder literally isn't relying

In my experience, engineering CAN be the hard part, but almost always in situations where the business requirement is unclear or non-sensical to begin with. For example, business ideas in the form of: "Use {X} to solve {Problem that li

I think you've just argued yourself out of a position of "it depends." This is one of the few areas where there's no wiggle room. A worthy business co-founder MUST be able to bring something practical to the table, and i

Clearly it was posted here so that we could criticize his work and point out all of the places where <<American English>> fails in comparison to C++ in conveying effective meaning.

To add a little more color... Magnus, in recent years, has been expressing his dislike for chess under classical time controls, seeing it as a battle of prep vs prep at the SuperGM level rather than skill vs skill. He doesn't seem to b

My understanding is that it's not a well-known discovery, so that alone should make it interesting enough for discussion.

I'd be curious to see if _anyone_ has actually been hired through HN Who's Hiring over the past two years here. I can only offer anecdotal experience, but... Despite 1) being a US-based dev, 2) Applying only to US-based jobs, 3) W

They're not unrelated thoughts. The author is describing current mysteries in physics related to the edges of what we could theoretically measure. The article actually seems clear and straightforward to me. I'd only add that I wi

Like the other person said, most forms of colorblindness is caused by genetics--specifically, recessive traits. So, it's the sort of trait that will run in the family. To help explain our experience, it's like trying to distingui

No one even bothers reading a one-page resume past skimming for a few keywords. You really think potential employers are going to sit down and read a 5,000-word essay?? I'm fairly confident that OP is safe here.
