I'm not familiar with any off the top of my head, but this reminded me of the book Designing Data Intensive Applications, here's one somewhat relevant snippet from it "JSON is less verbose than XML, but both still use a lot o

@davesque, I guess I cant reply directly to you. I've updated my question so it's more neutral. Thanks for the suggestion

Do you have a suggestion for a more neutral way to ask this question to avoid bias?

I asked the HN crowd's perspective just over a week ago [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37111560 I guess we can ask again. HN readers, what's it like for you right now trying to find a job?

Why are you linking job postings, for your current employer/company(?), in this thread? Seems like a very strange thing to do.

Really one of the most beautiful pages on the web. A prime example of what content on the web could look like. No bloat, fast, beautiful typography, SVG graphics not unnecessary jpegs/pngs. You have my respect for making this and setti

No one else has mentioned it, so I'll be the first. I love the typography and layout. Looks like a proper book. I'll definitely be coming back to this for future reference for style and layout

This comment is just my observations about the nature of comments regarding Canada. I'm not trying to lean one way or another by writing this... I can't speak to the honesty, atroturfing, propaganda, whatever you wanna call it, bu

In the 2010s binary was taught in high school intro to CS and in university CS classes. I don't know about bootcamps though, I doubt it is taught there. What isn't really taught is binary representations and what things look like

I agree with the point the article is making, but "NPM Ruin Dev", ignoring the grammar, is just clickbait. Pip didn't run dev, nor did Maven before that. NPM didn't ruin anything either. People choose to use build tools

One small optimization that could help at scale is serving smaller images, with links to full sized images. Perhaps a separate "Press" page or a "Press" section with links to full sized images. Mainly sticker.jpg and mic

I once made the mistake of buying into a certain library before vetting it. Pretty much a rookie mistake. Now I verify I can do the thing I want to use a particular library or tool for, in a separate throwaway minimal verifiable project, b

That makes sense. In any major city, where most of the jobs are, houses, rents, food, all the typical things, are well above what minimum wage pays so you're likely living pay check to pay check even if you do find something, even if i

Bit of a tangent, but what has been everyone's experience so far in 2023 trying to find a new job? I got really interested in this and have been passively researching it (HN, reddit posts). My conclusion, so far, is unless you've
