It's a shame that SF politics are so dysfunctional it can't have a metro at the same level of quality as, say, North Korea.

All citizens, I meant, in case it was unclear from the context. Are there any hospitals anywhere that deny emergency treatment? I would be surprised.

Yeah, it blew my mind when I first learned Go had this problem -- like, people have already tripped over this many times! I was pleasantly surprised to see them fix it though.

Yeah, I totally agree -- given Go's design, the behavior makes sense (and changing the behavior just to make it more familiar to users of languages that fundamentally work differently would be silly). However, the non-intuitive punning

US healthcare is such a pain -- very high premiums, high deductibles, tons of paperwork, no price transparency. My wife is from mexico, so while her visiting familly there I've had some opportunity to interact with and observe their sy

It's a sharp edge you trip over once, and makes sense once you think about it, it's not like you need a PhD to understand it! I do think there probably would've been some more elegant syntax or naming convention to make it le

(Side note, Go did fix scoping of captured variables in for,range loops, which was a back-incompat change, but they justified it by emperically showing it fixed more bugs than it caused (very reasonable). C# made the same change w/ t

This has already been explained many times, but it's so much fun I'll do it again. :-) So: The way Go presents it is confusing, but this behavior makes sense, is correct, will never be changed, and is undoubtedly depended on by co

This is cool! Immediately upon playing with it I find I want more features :-) - Ability to toggle ocean traversal off/on - Ability to see route on a map - AI generated summary of the trip if I took it -- what things did I see along th

Lack of git-lfs support (hack tho it is) is the only thing currently keeping me from trying (and, assuming it's as nice as it seems, using!) jj. Built-in, better large-file support would be amazing, and I'd happily just ditch git

I disgree. Other people were saying it's broken too. Reasonable company behavior here would be 1 tweet "we'll look into it", and then either "we reproduced and are working on a fix" or "looks good to us pl

I would have to imagine this is an accident or rogue vandalism -- I don't think USGOV is trying to stealth-edit the constitution by truncating the last 18 paragraphs of Article I.

It's a lot more disruptive, and psychologically much more annoying, to lose something, than to never have it at all. I do think it's a shame that Apple controls the App Store so tightly -- it's not just NSFW stuff that's

Personally I like it, and it catches bugs right away, especially when there are multiple possible ids, e.g. func AddMessage(u UserId, m MessageId) If it's just func AddMessage(userId, messageId string) it's very

It keeps getting side-tracked in get-rich-quick-schemes and sandbagged by UX horrors, but in theory this is a great use-case for crypto: the freedom to pay whoever you want for whatever you want, like cash, but online.

I'm not sure, if you scroll through the bug report there seem to be some people maybe kind of making it work, but I couldn't figure out exactly what they were doing, so decided I'll just keep waiting for the real implementati

They are slowly working on it: https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/issues/53 (I am interested because I want to try, but need git-lfs, which needs gitattributes.)

by dilap 1y ago
There is a 3rd group (probably mostly gamedevs) who think it seems like a great idea and really want to try it, but are blocked waiting for git-lfs support. Every time jujutsu pops back up on HN I check to see if they've added it yet.

That's interesting. I've tried Gemini 2.5 Pro from time to time because of the rave reviews I've seen, on C# + Unity code, and I've always been disappointed (compared to ChatGPT o3 and o4-high-mini and even Grok). This w

white, probably, though i don't think ever explicitly stated. "incandenza" as a last name is vaguely italian sounding. why the question, tho?

Yeah definitely, multiple times. But I feel you! The first time I read it it took me months to make it past the first couple hundred pages. But once you get far enough in everything starts to gel and it gets really fun.

I like it! For me it has replaced Sonnet (3.5 at the time, but 3.7 doesn't seem better to me, from my brief tests) for general web usage -- fast, the ability to query x nee twitter is very nice, & I find the code it produces tends

Sorry, poorly phrased comment -- I was trying to say that that staffing issues are not debated. I agree whether or not it's the fault of recruitment changes is hotly debated.

Yeah, that's fair -- you can view Duolingo as just, basically, a fun game, and you do learn something . But I do think there's space for something equally entertaining (not anki decks!) and more effective. I learned Spanish decen

You're a little too kind to Duolingo. It is useful for the very, very beginning, but people sink a ton of time into it which could've been used to actually learn the language. Making something as fun to use as Duolingo but that
