Not to be that guy but this just isn’t a helpful heuristic and I think the author fundamentally misunderstands introductions. The point of self identifying with some operating principle (value-add) isn’t about guaranteeing it to be true, it

Text doesn’t translate it well but that’s just my sarcastic sense of humor :) I love trying and going a bit overboard because life is short and sweet and it’s your responsibility as a human to make it fun. I do appreciate this comment thoug

This is amazing and exactly what I needed as of ~12 hours ago. The coincidence is kinda insane though - quick personal story I think is worth a readers time. I was just working on assets to develop a very quick (3-levels, built for one pers

Beautiful writing. I know the nostalgia of your first tough job. Mine was certainly not as blue as the oil fields of Alberta, nor the railways, it really wasn’t even blue collar. But I did find it tough. I was a food runner in a kitchen bui

Sorry about that. This is a default rails 8 setting, removed the blocker.

There's a phenomenal breakdown by JPCamara ( https://jpcamara.com/2024/12/01/speeding-up-ruby.html ) on why the Ruby#each method was rewritten in Ruby ( https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues&#x2

Immigrants are such a relatively small portion of housing supply pressure, compared to the overwhelming positive affect they have in driving other CPI basket items supply up (and therefore, keeping prices low). Getting rid of immigrants wil

Unpopular opinion: I would rather just be on a global-entry-esque kyc'd social media platform at this point. Bots and gov-psyop trolls are certainly (hopefully) like 95% of the gross misinformation, right? I'd give some reasonably

I literally have no idea what we disagree on? We're saying the exact same thing. I'm just saying that cameras were always going to become cheap. So were hard drives, and image/voice recognition. This was always going to happe

I probably didn’t even need the personal vouch to realize I likely read this with a lens of heavy disdain for rdd. I whole heartedly agree that it’s important to keep learning over the course of your career. And I believe you that the autho

Sounds like you have an issue with our current governance structures which allows too much value capture to proceed to the ultra wealthy untaxed, despite them relying on the society supported by said taxes to generate their massive wealth.

The proverbial finish line. I don’t think anyone seriously views technological developments as having ultra clear cut start and finish lines. Engineering/technological innovation is an iterative process and we have steps that provide v

This is just resume driven development. Good for you wanting to grow and stretch your limits. I do too! I just prefer to not do so at the expense of my team, coworkers, and community. RDD is inherently selfish, and I’ve personally been burn

I think these are the least insightful comments I’ve seen on HN, maybe ever. Hating from the sidelines is easy. AGI (or whatever semantics you prefer) is simultaneously: 1: One of the most positively influential technologies developed in hu

Agreed but on mobile, the native app still has a marginally nicer UX. For apps I use heavily, I appreciate that. (Funnily enough, I use the inverse as a means of controlling my screen time. Too much YouTube? Delete the app and suffer throug

Yeah that’s genuinely surprising and I disagree with that decision.

Thank you for this comment. I found the author's ignorance to be fairly discrediting, and was surprised to find so many follow up comments equally railing on Apple. Between the quote you pointed out and: "One thing I do know, howe

None of which have worked at scale, nor would their incentives lead a rational person to believe they have a chance of succeeding at scale. Capitalism is the worst, and it’s the best we’ve got (so far).

Here’s a moderately more “optimistic” take. Most users just don’t care, and power users will eventually learn to use better tools. It’s the exact same rational behind airlines charging the same, but offering ludicrously valuable loyalty pro

Well I certainly didn’t do well in English class! After re-reading my comment, you certainly _could_ read it in a smug/conceited tone. And I did explain my thoughts, they approach each logic problem with more novelty than I do, not for
