People have been steadily losing trust in the media for years. All it had to take was a few responsible people to do some probing and realize that it's all a scam. The issue is that there's money to be made in promoting crypto, an

What is it with people who love Rust? If a language is not an absolute behemoth, it's a kid's language. Do you feel the same way about Lua? Like, this notion is wild to me. > Rust IMO is much more advanced and expressive. It&#x

So I keep seeing Sinclair's blog posts both on /r/javascript, and this is the first time I see it on Hacker News. While I appreciate the effort needed to write one of these posts, I can't help but think about the amount

I actually don't agree with the first two points, at all. In fact, I've seen it NOT work firsthand for several startups I've worked for. > Don't hire for a particular tool-chain or framework This is horrible advice. W

I can't say I feel this way about MacOS. If anything, I want to stop using Windows altogether. I absolutely love my Macbook and I can't see myself using any other operating system.

110% this. For a small business with a small amount of users, I always suggest to *use the simplest thing that'll save you the most time and money to deploy your service*.

Good article, until: > Use Kubernetes. Dear God no lol If you're running a startup that's starting to scale dramatically, I think maybe this is valid advice. But nowadays you can keep things dead simple and still be able to acc

Agreed here. There is no reason setting up IAM policies through Terraform takes four weeks. Anecdotally, on my own personal projects it took me maybe three hours, or more, to set up IAM policies for AWS Lambda, ECS and RDS.

Yeah I can’t agree with you at all. Without setting up your own NAT Gateway on EC2 on a t2.micro instance (or something cheap like that), it runs you about $30. This isn’t even accounting for database costs, usage costs, development costs,

Why is this laughably wrong? Why is this so hard to believe? Also, why would being a tech scion mean that you wouldn't want to use an iPhone? If anything, I'd argue that being in tech makes you appreciate the benefits of having an

> JSX doesn't end up bringing much value over vanilla html, but can lead to a lot of strange and difficult to reason about states. This is just plain wrong. Like, unbelievably wrong.

This is 100% accurate. In fact, I think I've met a couple during my career.

Yes. Yes it is. So much so that I will, as much as possible, try to not use an ORM that creates queries for me. Simple ORMs that map columns in rows to attributes or properties in an object are fine. ORMs that handle complex relationships a

This is really hyperbolic. Facebook is not even closely comparable to those. Additionally, there's no market indication that won't be a need for services like AWS or hardware provided by Apple. It's really weird how many peop

Based on the definitions in this thread, it wouldn't be a stretch to pair Unreal's `AActor` as the entities and `UActorComponent` as the components. You could technically go a step further and pair `UWorldSubsystem` as the system.

I see lots of negative comments, but this actually looks great to use! I'm all for having more solutions for the global state problem.

I'm not saying we should ban it, although I think it should be considered. I'm only suggesting that buying any kind of cryptocurrency is a bad idea.

Node ESM support REALLY sucks. Node import maps suck (and are poorly documented). Node doesn't support TypeScript out of the box. Node dependency management has always sucked. I've used three different package managers, and I&#x27

I can speak to this since I've used Deno quite a bit. The problem is that the Deno ecosystem is, unfortunately, still very young. This young age also brings a lot of instability with it. On the other hand, the Node ecosystem is extreme
