You shut those emotions down. Which can be a really long journey for some people and probably easy for no one. One route is stoicism, but that’s a little depressing in my opinion, so I much prefer mindfulness and self-confidence. Whatever y

I never really understood why SPAs became so popular on the web. It’s like we suddenly and collectively became afraid of the page reload on websites just because it’s not a wanted behaviour in actual web applications. I have worked with ent

In my experience data often becomes the “decision argumentation” role which used to be filled by external consultants from E&Y and similar. Which is both good and bad, because data shows the past and that doesn’t necessarily predict the

Gemini is much better than the free version of GPT 3.5 though. At least in my experience. Microsoft’s enterprise co-pilot is also fairly decent. It’s really good at providing help to Microsoft related issues or helping you find the right pa

It’s probably because it isn’t laggy or cluttered for many of us. I do think its usefulness depends a lot on which tools you’re working with and what sort of VSC plugins are available for them. One or the things we really like about VSC is

Democratic governance is complicated. It’s never black and white and it’s perfectly possible for parts of the EU to be working to end encryption while another part works toward enhancing citizen privacy rights. Often they’re not even suppor

> Seems like the mistake is building 300+ systems instead of a handful of systems. But that’s not what happens on enterprise organisations. 90% of those are bought “finished” products, which then aren’t actually finished and you can be m

I mostly use Netflix as somewhere you’ve reached a technical point where you need to spread horizontally. As StackOverflow you can scale rather far without doing so if your product isn’t streaming billions of gigabytes of video to the entir

Monoliths aren’t very useful in many organisations where you need to build and connect 300+ systems. They also stop having simple architecture if you try. Most architecture conferences and talks tend to focus more on the enterprise side of

It depends we sometimes do since quadruple precision with checks tends to be safe, but for the most parts we don’t as most things are basically transactions unless you need to display something.

We use long double to present financial money amounts with a little safety on top of it before it’s consumed by whatever JavaScript (Typescript really) frontend it heads to. Works fine. Outside of the need for speed it’s one of the few area

The flip-side is that most of those metal bands now make almost no money on people listening to their music compared to what they did when they sold CDs through a lot of indie record companies. I don’t personally mind music services too muc

Anger doesn’t work in parenting. It may seem to work, but it won’t long term. It’s almost impossible to be an explosive or angry parent and not have it lead to negative behaviour in your children. Some are going to live a life of fear, some

We’ve had warships fighting pirates in the area for two decades, we being Denmark. The US does very little “policing” in the area compare to European nations. Which isn’t too weird considering we’re much more affected by these things. The U

In my experience it often comes down to business processes. We have a guy in my extended team who knows everything about his side of the company. When I work with him I accomplish business altering deliveries in a very short amount of time,

How do you debug if this isn’t what you’re doing? I’m genuinely curious… are you using some sort of advanced tools like a psychopath?

One of the major issues with a lot of the outdated concepts in programming is that we still teach them to young people. I work a side gig as an external examiner for CS students. Especially in the early years they are taught the same OOP co

I don’t think these things, or even a lot or the other political topics are uninteresting. I’ll often still flag them, however, since I’m really very uninterested in what the HN crowd who responds to these sort of things have to say about i

Maybe it’s intentional but things are far larger on a phone. It only shows 3 stories, where the “non-pretty” client shows 8. It’s also really weird that click on an article leads to the comments on HN rather than the actual article. Like, w

As a Scandinavian I find this an odd take on the situation. To me it seems like the US has a very, very, broken healthcare system that you’ve chosen to have by electing politicians who aren’t going to reform it into something reasonable. My

If my kerbel space program has taught me anything it is that being upside down, side ways or whatever after a semi-safe landing, is only an issue if you want to go home.

Well, a lot of people flag those topics because Israel is part of our western hegemony as far as political influence goes. What I find the most interesting is how uncritical we in the west are of the raise in authoritarianism in our own cou

Well it depends on how you look at it. We’ve had to say no to several projects due to high interests rates and global supply lines, and we’re hardly the only company to be in that situation. So on one hand it’s not like we’re not still maki

My wife uses the YouTube app on her iPad and I don’t understand how she can stand to have 3 commercials during a 10 minute Graham Norton clip. I’m happy the adblockers still work in Firefox, but I’m also not sure you can really fault the ad

The economy isn’t doing so well and it’s not going to correct itself any time soon. It’s not really that noticeable on the larger scale but any company that produces anything non-digital is still having supply line issues. Not as bad as a f

The issue with a lot of freedom and unopinionated tools is always going to be the multitude of ways to fuck up. On the flip-side, you may not like what choices are made if you’re forced to use it in a certain way. We enforce a strict pull-r

I don’t mind steam, but it’s not like you really “own” your library even on that platform. So it has probably been a while since most of us actually owned a video game the way it was 30 years ago. Sure, the subscription services are taking

I’m sort of surprised it’s considered a good thing. Some of my favourite programs use electron, like visual studio code. I haven’t used Spotify though, so maybe that is one of the many electron apps that suck? I was very unimpressed by flut
