I’m not sure you’re going to find a lot of sympathy for SoMe platforms in many European countries. Maybe you would have before Twitter was bought and a lot of the “media elite” used it. Today I think you’d mostly find a lot of happy parents

Which statistics are those? https://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/podcast/knowledge-at-wha... seems to indicate that 45 or 55 are the “best” ages to start a business. And since the average was 42 between 2007 and 2014 it

Well, we did build around 1000 solar plants globally with the invested money. I do wonder what you’re doing on HN if you don’t like investment banks though.

When I worked in an investment bank 100% of the sales came from cold contacts originally. Some were calls others were emails. They work perfectly fine. Once someone was an investor they'd do repeat business, but they all started as col

I think we agree. I don’t think there is that much difference between ORM patterns (and I’m sorry I misunderstood you) because they all eventually become more trouble than they are worth in larger and more serious projects. I agree that you

I can’t speak for rails’s ActiveRecord but I don’t think DjangoORM is worse than any other ORM in that regard. It’s probably one of my favorite ORMs. I don’t think I’ll ever really use it again but that includes every other ORM.

Well yes. I work on tech in companies which are slowed down because their IT departments can’t keep up with the rest of the business.

I hope I don’t come off as offensive asking this, but is there really that much of a difference? I’m not a fan of services which prey on peoples loneliness, but isn’t the defining feature or these para-social relationship platforms that the

I worked a good amount of years in enterprise, and then one of my former colleagues hired me to help scale a company from startup to enterprise. He is a brilliant IT operations manager and I've now seen him build some of the most talen

We use both, in my anecdotal experience it depends on what you use them for. The engineering teams which build solar plants use them as “an extra set of eyes” for increased quality control, and they chose ChatGPT. It discovered something to

Back in the early 00’s json wasn’t winning because it was derived from JavaScript, it was winning because it was the “easiest to use” standard on web services. Sure it’s derived from JavaScript and it plays a major part in frontend developm

I think the opinionated approach is what made json “win” the format battle more than anything else. If you’ve been around enterprise in the early 00’s you’ll know the horror that XML became when people weren’t using it in any sane manner. W

It’s as the old punk lyric goes, “the guilty don’t feel guilty, they learn not to”. It’s wild how much of the cyberpunk we read in the 80ies and 90ies are coming to pass though. This assassination was done in person, but how long will it ta

I mean it was probably a jive at OpenAIs transition to for-profit, but you’re absolutely right. Enterprise decision makers care about compliance, certifications and “general market image” (which probably has a proper English word). OpenAI h

I wonder if OpenAI can break into enterprise. I don’t see much of a path for them, at least here in the EU. Even if they do manage to build some sort of trust as far as data safety goes, and I’m not sure they’ll have much more luck with tha

I’m not sure I agree that avoiding crypto has been an inherently losing strategy. If your plan is to gradually grow your fortune in a non-volatile environment then crypto seems like a bad place to put your funds. There are a lot of places y

I don’t think people saying these things are inherently wrong. “Not working” is obviously wrong because using brain is work, and it’s exhausting work in many cases. The flip-side, and this is probably what is meant, is that you don’t break

You are correct but it’s also more complex than that since competitive can mean many things. Currently the vast majority of government income for European countries is income tax, and income tax is usually more profitable when the market is

Jesus has absolutely existed as a “warrior” figure. Even in the bible you’ll find some rather “warrior” like descriptions in places like Matthew 10:34, Luke 22:36, Luke 12:51 and so on. Mostly though Jesus has been what Jesus needed to be.
