I think MrBeast is fantastic, this is what he wanted to do, he made it happen, he's worked out how to run his organization, he's scaled it out. His content is really well done and fun. He gets to help people, he's very expl

did you read the article? the idea is you write a note to forget it, get it out of your mind, and then later relying on the fact you can rediscover your note when you might need it.

I found BJJ was a great community, most clubs I see seem to have a community culture that build up around them.

while I like it, it doesn't actually seem that useful.... and given I work on IoT systems measuring all kinds of things in all kinds of units, it isn't at all useful for that. Kind of cool for when you are using F# as a calculato

It's easy enough to do DUs, they are working on it, but they are just syntactic sugar for abstract class/subclass for instance, as an example for this https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/designing-for-corr

just as true today as 2015 when the article was written, except C# got even better. While I like the F# language, I don't like the (understandably) abandonware of the small community. I've ported most of my F# stuff to C#, and it

Not really sure they are that useful for embedded systems. I think the most useful thing is in 20, and that is coroutines. For bare metal embedded systems this simplifies a lot of things. But isn't super common on embedded toolchain

weird, tons of my 20 year old code is still around, but my 30 year old code, except for embedded stuff, is likely dead.

I really liked it when my eldest son was playing with it years ago, but not being able to build your own functions was really unfortunate.

they are tools, you have to learn how to use them. I use chatgpt everyday and am getting better and better at asking questions to get the answers I want. I used copilot when it was free, and it was best at boilerplate, and sometimes not bad

HN isn't really an archive of news though, we should be able to talk about it thoughtfully, even with your own personal bias

C# does seem like its popular with quite a few of the crowd here. Not very popular in startups though.

msdn subscriptions were great! virtually every single piece of microsoft software. You'd get this huge folder of CDs back in the day!

the core F# language is great, however, what tends to suffer is the F# specific libraries (you can use all .NET libs, but I'm talking about the F# specific ones) and community. There are some things that are getting developed, but my

It tends to release a lot of insurance money into the economy and a lot of work restoring things. Not good for inflation. A bunch of the mid/large (for NZ) tech sector companies tend to be a bit divorced from the NZ economy as many t

the other thing you get is information density, I can see posts back till midway last year.... on my large monitor on many sites, you can be luck to see the last 3. Scrolling, I can quickly see 10 years of posts. Fantastic

The title is clickbait, and the point being made is just anecdotal, not based on evidence. But the point of the article is to not be either. To be honest, not sure the article actually says anything most people don't already know, I

I just use it for my own scripts. It's great for when you don't like something and think it should be done slightly different. I also re-layout news sites as they are mostly just horrendous.

it's not about reusing code, it's about generating code, ie, autocomplete, except the generator trys to recognize what you are trying to / most probably writing and suggests it. Great for boilerplate type code.

Currently using codeium after they had an HN post not so long ago. Seems not too bad, though for C# its code generation is pretty poor, though apparently there is supposed to be improvements to the model soon.

while there is some high profile layoffs, is the actually job market that bad? It still seems quite active still to me.
