But they can always point to their resume, which lists a prestigious faang company. I worked for a well-known tech company for a couple years, with a grueling interview process. I regularly get cold called by recruiters asking me about &quo

In this case, a Todo list.

The rust community's insistence on ending every sentence "written in rust" is only slightly more annoying than the python community's "for humans" fetish.

Creating a note-taking app and/or a Todo list are effectively rites of passage. There's something aspirational both in the creation of the app and the creation of a more orderly daily existence. Looked at this way, I think we can

Holy shit this is impressive. So do I understand correctly that you access the model via API, or can you train your own? A couple of the statements and the repetitions made me wonder, but overall I was taken in. Good shit and interesting to

CyberDildonics has a good point. Tcl/Tk might also be a good choice for the application widgets, as there are lots of high level language bindings. I use it exclusively and love it, though fltk is also very solid - just lacking the bin

Ah yes, the "new world" that the developers like and that ultimately complicates things for end-users, and obsoletes 30+ years of software in the process. I prefer stability.

>not constantly changing equals it's end-of-life No, it just means that its stable. I understand that it's probably habit to justify constant changes to your software projects, but in my experience, it's a good thing to be

Wayland fans: so desperate for traction that they'll snap up any chance to spread false information. Or maybe this commenter doesn't know the difference between gnome/pango and xorg/xft? Xorg isn't going anywhere fo

For linux users, you can open the .FON files with fontforge, then go to file menu -> generate to create a .bdf file (I prefer to use bitmap over ttf to avoid any artifacts).

I'm curious about this, too. I have to believe, though, that if some bumbling sim swappers were able to get in, then it doesn't require a leap to assume sophisticated state-level actors have similar access. Granted this attack lea

Quit being a pedant and sliding valuable comments with this bullshit.

Exactly. Inconvenient facts or even just minority views get downvotes. Especially here on hn. If you are going to say something that disagrees with the general hn monoculture, you have to dress it up in the inimitable pseudo-intellectual ra

If his boss/company weren't desperate for the contract, they wouldn't tolerate crazy shit like this. If the customer has no incentive not to ask for whimsical shit all the time, then they're absolutely going to ask for

Didn't Twitter say that they don't shadow-ban? [1] From a leaked screenshot of the panel, though, it appears they have a search/trend blacklist. 1: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/business/jack-dorseys

Academia seems to be the source of so much of this anger and resentment. Maybe it's because teachers, rightly and wrongly, feel themselves to be the moral betters compared to the wealthy. And this is all an elaborate cope and power gra

But you just wrote: >And completely missing the boat on "right to free speech" != "right to no consequences". Calling for the de-platforming, destruction of reputation, and career is a form of oppression.

Twitter is perfectly designed for coordinating attacks on individuals. The problem is that so many organizations tend to yield to the slightest hint of twitter outrage, which reinforces these kinds of cancellations.

I think a large problem is open source projects actively marketing themselves, and seeking large user bases. This leads to a wasteland of zombie frameworks, and developers selling out (so to speak) in exchange for the reputation. It is impo

AI is cargo-culting from executives in publicly traded companies. Kubernetes is a grassroots phenomenon of developers experimenting with self-immolation while padding the resume. Major difference. Your example comes from the top. Kubernetes

Since hackernews is mostly junior devs or senior principle architects (formerly junior devs), I expect there's a lot of stockholm syndrome going on in these comments. Better get out of here before they notice us.

ad-hominem and hearsay. >There were a lot of bad ones Sounds like he had a point, then. Also, apparently HN would rather read your rather salty gossip, than comment on the article on its own merits. Nice!

Nice projection my dude. It's a lamentation of the introduction of complexity into a formerly-simple set of APIs.

There's a lot of justified hatred for kubernetes, but for fuck's sake why did anyone adopt it in the first place, if they didn't understand what they were getting into? It's like the startups from 10 years ago who absolu

Exactly. It also provides a bandaid for their self image, and provides an excuse for being ignorant or mediocre. I've only ever observed mediocre people talk about imposter syndrome. Seems like the author is trying, politely, to expres

Good for them on building a business around redis. That said, fuck paying for some bolt-on approximation of a search engine with no real durability. I'll use elastic or solr. They're free, and have massive communities and user-bas
