I've seen certain fintechs using Clojure and I'm not even in a tech hub, I'm in South America. Not to say there are many, but definitively I've seen 0 jobs for Raku. Clojure seems more popular than other FP languages suc

I've actually read quite the opposite a few times. If you focus on the end-goal you can easily get frustrated once you don't see any results, specially on such long-term goals such as graduating, improving your career or becoming

Not to say he's unproductive, because he's a beast, but I don't think he's a good example. Carmack got to work on really cool things which he loved (games) most of which were in his own company so he also had a stake on

Hmmm here at least in my uni in Argentina, we have an obligatory computer architecture class and we implement a protected-mode x86 (32 bits) kernel with interrupts, paging, etc. We obviously get some guidance but it's not that hard if

When I was a kid I used to play a bit with Celestia, but I remember I was pretty scared whilst using it... there was some kind of dread/anxiety I felt just looking at the vast void of space and something giant like Jupiter or Saturn ne

I thought the whole point of Gleam is having a statically typed lang running in the BEAM VM? If you want something similar outside of it you probably want Scala, Rust, OCaml, etc.

I appreciate HN staying simple but a tag system like lobsters has would be pretty nice...

Well as far as I'm aware and also from my little experience, Claude Code is quite better and it seems simpler to use than Cursor, it's also IDE/editor agnostic. So it's not about using CLI applications it's about th

I would assume sooner or later you're going to end up in the Intel Developer manuals or the equivalent for whatever architecture you are interested in. The Intel ones are very complete at least.

Nowhere near the same quality and actually (mini)series but: - Halt and Catch Fire (actually pretty good quality and full series) - The Playlist (creation of Spotify) - The Dropout (creation of Theranos... do not get advice from this one th

Wings3D is a 3D modeller written in Erlang so I would assume you could use Gleam for that as well given that it's the same runtime. Although I think it's probably not the best tool for the job.

I don't want to come off as insensitive, and as a developer with a few years of experience and about to graduate, I'm obviously a bit worried about AI as well. However, this reads like an American overpanicking because they'r

I'm guessing it's mostly for legacy reasons. When 3.7 came out many people were not happy with it and went back to 3.5; I guess supporting older models for a while makes sense.

I think the key is that you are supposed to automate whatever feels boring for you, and that should leave you more time to engage in activities that you actually feel joy for. If your hobby is programming by all means disable AI assistance

Making war films is very expensive. Sure, superhero movies are very expensive as well, but my theory is that you can easily sell merchandise, etc. for superhero movies not so much for war ones. Also superhero movies appeal to children which

To be fair if they had a monopoly perhaps they would have little incentive to make DX better in order to compete.

My university solves this quite easily. There is no graded homework, the coursework is there only as a guide and practice for the exams. So you can absolutely use LLMs to help you with the exercises or to help understand something, however

I don't know a single person who is better off, perhaps people in the finance industry. Consumption is down, sales are down, there's more people in the streets and pretty much everyone has seen their real purchasing power gone dow

Where? Pretty much every place accepts Mercadopago at least in Buenos Aires and PBA. From big stores to smaller ones to street performers or small shops in the middle of the road.

Useful article but I would rather see comparisons where it takes a codebase and tries to modify it given a series of instructions rather than attempting to zero-shot implementations of games or solving problems. I feel like it fits better t

I'm not a Lisp expert but one of the most fun languages I've used recently is Janet [1], it's a single binary, very easy to get started, decent docs and battery-included. It's great for little CLI tools or solving Advent

Same, I actually took Calc II with Juli we started FCEN the same year but he obviously was very bright and haven't seen him since I assume he progressed very quickly.

This is highly opinionated obviously because there are no hard metrics but I can more or less confirm this, the University of Belgrano is generally seen as fairly mediocre, even for private university standards.

The price of the dollar doesn't mean too much, the real cost in USD of living is through the roof and the official inflation index is not reflecting that, what's worse, if your salary is in USD or was tied to USD now you earn even
