Sorry but no, that's crazy, I grew up in Spain and free college is definitely a national pride, by both the left and the right. It's the same in most of Europe.

No, that'd only be true the judgement was the full work. If the judgement was 33% of the work and the rest was just old plain e.g. typing, that is now fully automated and instantaneous, then you automate 2/3 of the work, getting 3

Agreed; I mentioned Elon because the post made the reference quite explicit by saying "trillionaires", probably given the context Bezos or Gates would've been better examples though.

It really depends on the codebase. I remember ~10 years ago trying to learn about some of the big codebases that existed and what struke me was the verbosity. I don't remember if it was a PHP framework or a big JS library, but it was l

Within Spain it has virtually dropped to zero among my friends since transfering money is trivial now: - Bizum for national transfers, you just need someone's number (which you usually have through WhatsApp) representing 90% of instant

Yes, I've dealt with streams a lot and I've seen the pain. I'd say it's the 2nd biggest "compat breaking" of Node/JS after the require vs esm, but while the require vs esm is mostly gone (we all use esm no

I saw the `require('gulp')` and the memories def came back. That's def how we used to do code ~10 years ago. I still don't like the multi-threaded PER PROJECT too much, I prefer having 2 projects and switching context wi

Bun has been nothing but amazing wins for me, and I really like what it enabled me to do. Two examples: - I have a couple of projects that handle images. I was including Sharp, but since these are side projects in a small VM, often a rede

Sorry, please correct me if I'm wrong but with this follow up he's not contradicting the quote I put, but saying that despite of tha, the science is valid? Which means the bits I quoted are still stated as a matter of fact WITHOUT

I made something slightly similar ~10 years ago where you could embed HN comments in your own site. It was the opposite end of consumer though, for webdevs to embed it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12898366 Note: I

Agreed, I was interested and I'm prob the target audience but things escalated too fast too quickly, very similar to the infamous "how to draw an owl" meme.

I read it the opposite though; that it's the act of doing, not the (perfect) result, the thing that is valuable. e.g. it's better to paint a canvas badly because it's fun, than to have an AI generate a perfect image. It&#x2

Not everyone has 200mb node_modules. Many of us, indie JS makers making those libraries, care in fact about the size of our projects, runtimes, installed libraries, etc. I'd even argue it's more mainstream usage (e.g. even me, w

I feel that way about street advertising, beautiful European cities with historical buildings all around and suddenly a big screen/panel asking you to buy whatever.

Yes I understand, it's just the feeling I get is a bit odd, like the thing you get at the end of the ad like "9/10 doctors recommend this".

A bit of a tangent but I've read this phrase almost verbatim in another article[1] today: > "This study is really good," says Sunghwan Jung, a biophysicist at Cornell University who studies the mechanics of animal movement
