It’s a mix of time on HN and points. Which means articles which are of interest to the people here make it up rather fast. There isn’t really anything secret to HN. It’s not unbiased, but it’s easy to see which posts are “sponsored” as in t

I don’t think you will be capable of pushing it as a sort of board game protocol. I think the best way to do rules is to have a rulebook where it’s very easy to look up rules as a reference later. Setup, turns and actions are relatively eas

I recently learned that things like Goroutines aren’t naturally written with buffers and channels. Granted anyone who reads the original documentation would likely do it correctly, but apparently that’s not how they are intuitively written.

I’m not familiar with Haskell and I could read almost all of that from it. No idea how you can tell it splits on white space though.

It’s been some years since I left the public service, PowerAutomate didn’t really exist back then. It may be an exception to what I said, I do know my current organisation had a few of those Apps running. I wasn’t much involved in the proce

I’ve spend a few decades in non-tech enterprise including 7 years in the public sector, and I’ve never seen a low-code solution work at all. Even extremely simple automation flows require at least some degree of software engineering. Loopin

Our engineers feed a LLM engineering plans as a quality control. Not as a replacement of any of the regular process, simply as an additional step. It discovered what would’ve been a fairly serious error in some component design for one of o

Maybe it’s just the artist way of acknowledging that nothing is ever going to be faster than VIM?

I’m not sure if I’m understanding you correctly, but how on earth would a pull request even make it to the review state if it fails to lint in the pipeline? I sort of agree with GP in that the discussions are a waste of time. I also agree w

The challenge with this, and I agree with you, is that I don’t think you’ll find many people capable of creating such a course being in the course creation business. I suspect almost no one would be interested in doing it. The only financia

I’m going to go against the flow and say nothing. I think the primary reason you see seniors looking for senior focused platforms is because almost all the learning content is terrible. Seniors will spot this sooner than juniors. I’ve worke

I think it’s just corporate culture in some places. I’ve done a stint in management and I’ve had the “fun” of dealing with all these performance measurements. I personally think they are rather useless in any sort of office work where your

I’m not sure why you think a wealth tax is related to entrepreneurship ship. I get that you’ll find a lot of people who like the author don’t want to pay taxes, but you’re going to find quite a lot who do. Especially here in Scandinavia. Of

I wonder why English decided to narrow its meaning. Well I guess a language doesn’t decide anything, but I think you know what I mean. In many EU countries it simply means “cost list” or “price list” which can be for import duties but also

I think you’ve nailed the issues with this approach. I think the best approach to control “cowboy” behaviour is to make everything run through a service connection so that developers don’t actually need access to your azure resources. Thoug

I think the “rule of thumb” is that none of them are better than using HTMX with templates. HTMX obviously having some limits in terms of security and complex REBAC.

I don’t mind the cloud, but even in enterprise organisations I fail to see the value of a lot of the more complex tools. I’ve anlways worked with Azure because Denmark is basically Microsoft territory in a lot of non-tech organisations beca

I think there is some sound advice in there that just happens to fit into his mornings. Take always like having your day poisoned by news, stuff in your life and so on would also occur for you if you woke up later. I do agree that it’s not

It was meant more as an observation than my opinion. I would pick Go over Java/C# any day of the week, but it’s not like talented JVM engineers won’t run in circles around you as far as performance goes. I’d frankly pick Python for mos

I think it’s because Go is an alternative to Java and C# more so than an alternative to Rust. It is for me at least. As I said, Rust isn’t seeing any form of real world adoption in my region while Go is. Go isn’t replacing C/C++ or eve

I prefer the structure of Rust errors as it’s fully typed, I don’t like that you can chain them though. It’s a cool feature but it leaves you with some of the same issues exception handling does when the freedom is used “wrong”.

This article makes a lot of great points about the shortcomings of Go. I don’t think explicit error handling is one of them however. I’ve previously spoken about my loathing of exception handling because it adds a “magic” layer to things wh

They are called recalls because that’s what the term for legalisation mandates. They are issued when a vehicle is unsafe to drive and they are mandated because a manufacturer is required to take a lot of steps to remedy their failure. If th

As someone who has worked on the Danish public sector I have a slightly different take on the public websites. They should never have been using things like 3rd party analytics to begin with. I understand it’s was media and communication de

I’m curious as to how you would implement anything like Asimovs laws. This is because the laws would require AI to have some form of understanding. Every current AI model we have is a probability machine, bluntly put, so they never “know” a

I mean, this is one example which fits the discussion. Also one that I cherrypicked because I was actually right. I’ve had plenty of managers who were good at listening, however, I think most have been great. I have also worked management a

There is a difference between treating someone as a human and bullshitting your manager though. I’m painfully blunt to the point where the management staff had to spend 3 hours in a crisis meeting discussing whether to fire me an another de

I’ve worked on and finished some extremely large programs over my years in non-tech enterprise. I’m also an external examiner for CS students, and I’ve regularly talked about how I think the curriculum is outdated. In Denmark where I’m from

I’ve been impressed with the AI assisted tooling for the various monitoring systems in Azure at least. Of course this is mainly because those tools are so ridiculously hard to use that I basically can’t for a lot of things. The AI does it i

Probably, I’m just sharing how it feels to use it when you work on frontend once a year.
