The more you force unrealistic expectations of exponential growth, the more founders engage in 'façading.' This feels a lot like multi-level marketing and a game of hot potato—keeping the early investors' returns safe by brin

It's interesting that our views differ. I think it's because of our different experiences. I believe MSA is the right approach. But this doesn't seem like a debate that can be resolved through discussion. It's something

Does Redis become that slow when you enable both AOF and RDB? Sure, there's a write cost, but it doesn't lose its ability to maintain tens of thousands of connections. Redis supports AOF and lets you choose the fsync policy. But I

Is it really the right choice to drop Redis and go back to a disk based relational database just to wrap transactions into a single unit? Redis handles tens of thousands of concurrent connections in a single event loop, while MySQL uses one

To me, one of the most agonizing parts of programming is that whenever I think I have discovered something new and write down a good explanation for it, I inevitably find out that a pioneer programmer from long ago has already given the exa

After reading your follow-up comment, I realize I may have misunderstood some parts, but I think there is a slight difference in our fundamental perspectives. Still, given your context and your experience, your view is probably the right on

I resonate with much of what you have pointed out, but I have a different perspective on certain parts. Software consists of various layers, and everyone has their own specific areas of strength. For instance, because I am an application pr

No, code was always difficult. To be precise, it depends on the domain. The people who could actually write algorithms or core implementations were always a minority. Programmers like me mostly did copy-paste from Stack Overflow or assemble

I agree with some points, but I also disagree with others. I agree that the 'overall' video game industry is recession resistant. Over the long term, it will continue to grow. But I don't think the 'polarization' of

Games fundamentally require a lot of artistry, depend on user device performance, and involve many factors to consider. from engine licensing costs to labor costs. There's this concept of 'AA games' or 'Myst games'

I agree. The problem is this: most companies using PLCs work in isolated networks with internet disconnected, based on confidentiality. There are many difficulties even with using git, because the structure forces you to implement features

I'm sorry for always bothering you, senior. I've learned quite a lot from the books you recommended. I've especially been studying low-level topics lately, and the books you suggested have been very helpful. Have a great day.

Thank you for the kind comment. I'll make a note of it and look into it.

I understand that Move Semantics led to better implementations and that this is why things changed. I know that in this case, problems arose when transitioning from C++98 to what's commonly called Modern C++ (C++11). However, I'm

Does the C++ standard guarantee binary ABI? Isn't that something that compiler and library contributors handle separately? So I think the arguments you see online are more accurate—vendors are the ones maintaining it. In other words, t

I'm going to collect this post after 24 hours, extract the methodologies from everyone's comments, and write them down in my notes. The reason I like HN is that people freely share their tips in the comments

That's true, but even so, there were people who loved the story itself regardless of the grammar. I was actually shocked when I read the original English version of the Twilight series..

I think people read novels because they want to connect with the author on some level. LLM generated text is actually more logically airtight than human writing. For non fiction, I think the information dense LLM style is often better. But

I'm curious. HIV has been largely conquered, so why hasn't HPV been conquered yet? Same goes for shingles.

So Anthropic studied humanity, and their big discovery was: new hires care about money. Peak anthropology.

I can somewhat understand their mindset. Once you reach a certain level of wealth, you don't really need money just to survive—you already have enough. After that point, money becomes more like a high score you're trying to beat.

Actually, No Code seems to be more inconvenient these days. In the past, No Code still required you to memorize blocks anyway. When I was dispatched to a company that specialized in golf simulators, projector based systems where you hit gol

Actually, the standard for wealth tends to be set by the people around you, and by the competitors in your field. If you let go of that and draw your own standards, it's enough. but in the end, money is what defines wealth. I know comp
