i don’t like adding foundational syntax using libraries, but i do wish they would add this to the language. deconstruction by pattern is super common and the syntactic sugar would be most welcome.

I worked very briefly for a company (that I won't name) that did this with elasticsearch. Every customer basically had a customized form for data entry, and every field on that form became a field in ES, even if that same field name an

yeah, for people like that, money is just a way to measure how much smarter/slicker they are than their mark. it’s really about the grift. that $100k invested well in the 80s would have been an enormous portfolio in 30 years had he jus

as someone who bought one of these on a whim in the wee hours of the morning, has anyone managed to jailbreak the hardware for any productive purpose yet? seems like an interesting little device even if the rabbit folks are less than forthc

The argument against hybrids that's always resonated with me is that you get the maintenance costs of a gasoline engine with the upfront costs of a battery. I've owned a Leaf and found it relatively trouble-free but never a hybrid

that’s certainly a valid reasoning. someone else may well have an equally valid reason for choosing a different path.

i apparently ordered one impulsively while i was… in an altered state, let’s say. (in my defense, iirc i wanted to evaluate it as a device for a family member with a neurodegenerative disease to use for some daily online activities…) based

Well, I can tell you that I'm on a vitamin D supplement and there's very definitely a direct benefit to it treating early osteomalacia.

My wife is also a melanoma survivor (Stage III) and yeah, the notion that sunlight is negatively correlated with melanoma is utter nonsense.

I dropped out of school and went into startups with my first full-time gig in March, 2000. Managed to make that one last a few years, but whoooo boy that was a tough time to be a junior-to-mid developer looking for a job. I even went back t

if you’re trying to get an idea of what it actually costs to run a trial, eliminating the cost of drug development seems like exactly the thing to do.

i’m reading through the contrarian takes here and thinking, “yeah i’m kind of ok with that?” this would make it much trickier for bad actors to get away with everything from online ai scams to swatting. i could live with that.

> Code generation in Golang is something I've found removed a lot of boilerplate. Not a gopher by any stretch, but to my way of thinking code generation is literally boilerplate, that's why its generated. Or does Go have some m

i’ll be honest, that article makes it sound like the creators of CUE are really just taking their interest in type theory and applying it wholesale to devops configuration. maybe it’s just late but my eyes were glazing over by the third lat

in my experience, while teams are rarely “waiting around” for a new hire, it’s the outside perspective that makes the most significant improvements to process, tooling, and impact, and teams that resist the notion of blind spots that suffer

I've seen plenty of teams who didn't think they needed someone to evaluate what they're doing and just thought they needed someone churning out code. If they'd had someone do the former, most of the time they'd not

i really want some information like this on rooting my echo show. i don’t care for it as an alexa device but the hardware seems nice and useful to hack on if you take amazon out of the picture.

you’re not thinking creatively enough. a mm-sized hole may not incapacitate someone but a mm-thick slice across their belly would disembowel them. just wave it around!

Come again? Most people install the windowed version of it today, but its history is very definitely TUI-based. All of the features you mentioned are things that have been added along the way as its container was able to support them.

that’s basically the issue that pushed us to twingate. turns out i like twingate a little better for their routing capabilities anyway (which isn’t to say i don’t like tailscsle at all—i use both for different purposes.)

yeah, i’ve noticed an uptick in HN stories that link to a xitter thread, which makes all but the first part unreadable now if you don’t have an account. supremely annoying. at least with paywalls archive.is is a decent workaround.
