As was Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes. Oddly in my own corporate travels, the practice seemed to have stopped mid-90's. In the '00's and later, cubicle walls were mostly barren. After '08, cubicles had disappeared alt

I clicked only because I'm interested in doing a project related to MIDI, so I was surprised to immediately see that this project was built with Claude Code and unlike, most AI-assisted projects, includes the prompts. Skimming the c

Good question though I expect it'll get buried amongst all the other comments. Maybe create an "Ask HN" post. I asked Google/Gemini about a tutorial and it responded with several YouTube videos and also produced this su

Where are the mainstream media stories about this? The article mentioned the story blowing up but a Google search showed only one media outlet covering the story.

Google AI does a pretty good job of this already: > I'm on page 750 of Anathem. Please give me a recap. > You are currently reading the section of the book where the main characters have been launched into orbit aboard a repurpo

Or were away from the book for a while and are coming back to it. I've read 1000 page books that I just got tired of reading, so put 'em down for a bit to read something else. Anathem by Neal Stephenson comes to mind.

I can't believe you'd bring up one article written nine years ago! "Narrowly scoped!" Give me a break, you know nothing about the scope of my travels. Please don't make assumptions and condescensions about people

No way anyone wants to hang out at McDonald's. If they're trying to make McDonald's a third space they need to do some remodeling first. Restaurants aren't warm and appealing; they're hard and easy to clean.

Working on in-house software can be satisfying: no marketing BS, work closely with users in developing software that helps them perform their job, rarely have unrealistic schedules or demands.

Yes. Social awkwardness then is not seen as a character flaw but more like a birth defect.

Huh. 35 year ago I was the sole maintainer of an in-house SQL-like database query language. The application was transforming relational data into a more concise and efficient format for use in an embedded application (AT&T 5ESS digita

I have two. I agree it's quiet on the lowest speed but it's loud on the medium and high speeds so mine are setup to run 24/7 on the lowest speed regardless of the air quality. The air quality in my house is good and they ru

I skimmed a few entries. Seems the majority of the comments are on topic. Real HN seems to have more tangential comments.

I lived in one house that initially had hot water baseboard heat. A hot-air furnace was retrofitted into a closet and got its "fresh air" from a hole in the closet door (i.e. there was no incoming air). During the winter the air

My first development job was as a software developer at Bell Labs in Naperville working on the 5E. I started at the end of 5E4 (the 4th revision) and then worked on 5E5 and 5E6. I went from school writing maybe 1000 line programs to maint

Slightly tangential but I was discussing high-school English book selection with a relatively new English teacher. He was frustrated that his 9th/10th grade students were uninterested in the books. He was hamstrung in book selection

I skimmed the article and one of the things that occurred to me is that it was lucky that they worked as a busboy for a bit. Lucky in the sense that there was plenty of opportunity to try various social approaches on the many people they e

For compiler fans, that's a very incomplete list. I'm rusty but off the top of my head, I see you're missing Walter Bright and Terrence Parr.

In the 80's I wanted to be a compiler engineer. Got a masters degree in it and published a paper on LR parsing with original research in the Journal of ACM. The opportunities back then were scarce. Over nearly 15 years I found a cou

Congrats on the release! How large is the current library and at what rate do you expect to add new books? What books are subscribers voting on?

If that is/was parenting, I am completely envious of everyone that had such parents. I don't even want to think about the "parenting" I and my siblings received because it'll just make me sad.
