I know that political topics are not suitable for HN. But, as an Argentinian, I’d like to clarify that this financial rescue is intended for Milei. We will have midterm elections soon, and the government is doing whatever it can to keep the

Understanding the concept is easy. The problem arises when you start to mix memory management with more complex structures. It’s extremely easy to make mistakes, and you must be very careful about ownership and clean up. Those things are no

I love projects like these. Even when I took algebra and calculus in university, it’s good to refresh and go deeper into the concepts many years later. However, a small critique to the author: the audience of this book is not clear. It says

Claude Opus 4.1 gave me the right answer. First, it said “yes” and immediately corrected the answer, enumerating all the emojis that are closer to ending with the message “While seahorses are popular and recognizable creatures, they haven’t

Wow, this article resonates with me. Today, I discussed with a product manager who insists on attaching AI generated prototypes to PRDs without any design sessions for exploration or refinement (I’m a UX designer). These prototypes contain

Transitive dependencies are the main issue. Suppose you have a package P1 with version 1.0.0 that depends on D1 with version ^1.0.0. The “^” indicates a range query. Without going into semver details, it helps update D1 automatically for mi

The article's example shows the main reason (besides having old libraries shipped with Java) why XSLT didn’t have a significant adoption: UX/DX. The JSON transformation example is quite simple, and you can accomplish it with one o

Ok, now try to implement a tree component in an MPA. But not a crappy tree component that only opens one branch at a time, like in a page from 1998. A tree component that remembers the open/close state of each branch. Before the SPA, t

I'm not surprised. I started using Windsurf when it came out because I liked its UX better than Cursor's. However, while Cursor and GH Copilot improved, Windsurf went in the opposite direction. On each update, I started to get mor

Do you dress with a hat and shirt like someone in the 50s? I see many angry comments because it's a change without a practical reason, and it's meant to make things more "new" or "fresh" at the cost of CPU and

Point of view as a Figma user... With all the AI tools, the market is in a transition period. Those transitions are crucial for a product's success or failure. For example, the transition from web to mobile with the iPhone, along with

The main reason not to migrate is that they cost the same, but I get more value from iCloud. You can probably say the same for Google One on Android; ecosystem retention seems to work well for Apple and Google. I used 1Password in the past,

Google suffers from Microsoft's issues: it has products for almost everything, but its confusing product messaging dilutes all the good things it does. I like Gemini 2.5 Pro, too, and recently, I tried different AI products (including

The deal with Oklch is that hsl/hsb don’t do a good lightness mapping regarding color perception, but Oklch does. So, if you transform your RGB to lch and move the “l” value, you can easily get a nicer color palette. Also, you can tell

Interesting, I’m from Argentina and haven’t seen any resurgence in the cassette. Perhaps I’m not in the indy circles that the author mentions, but that’s definitely not a mainstream phenomenon here.

The track record of Facebook and Google may be better because their open-source strategy is to never open things that are core to their business. Projects like React will not give you a competitive advantage to build a Facebook competitor.

Yes, it’s different from Excel tables. @wtallis probably explained it better, but I’ll give it another shot: A “spreadsheet” or tab in Numbers is like a canvas where you can put tables, text boxes, , charts or shapes. The classic spreadshee

Uff, this brings back memories of Maven 1 and Apache Jelly. Jelly was a scripting language using XML. It was an aberration, and Maven 2 removed it. This feels like Jelly, but in YAML instead of XML. I don't intend to offend the author,
