I don't know if it counts as a project, but I just posted my first YouTube video yesterday after spending 100 hours learning about cameras, audio, and video editing in Final Cut Pro. I just want to share my thoughts on programming and

the tricky part about React Native is that you almost always need to use it with expo. I developed React native app for ios as side project and took breaks often and came back to have to do big updates with expo to make it work again. Maybe

there are more issues currently than ViewComponent and I am planning to do video essay (not very technical one) on future of rails. Overall, interesting read, although very heavy on bullet points

are we really moving the goalpost after solving Millenium Prize Problem? Six years ago that would be something, but today let's move the goalpost

hmm, maybe not sentiments, running commands can produce binary results to reinforce, but that's also speculation

by lackoftactics 17d ago
do you even needs thumbs up? I've been long suspecting that code models get better because they use our data and our results from feedback, status codes, green tests for reinforcement learning

Pretty great day for HN. You can’t just shut off people anymore with „machine did it, not you” as we live in new reality. Comments below make even more sound argument, for data viz we probably don’t need novel problem solving, just people i

Good take, I think his view is a bit simplistic. Also he also have a huge ego "I am the best economist in UK!"

Gary Economics wants to have a word with you. It would be fun to get to post-work society, but hard to imagine atm. TPTB won't let it happen

This seems to extend even beyond the arts. I would say that the race to add more features to web and mobile apps will face a similar obstacle. How long can we continue making 10x more features just because we can, until somebody realizes th

Sounds like a good day to be you, top 5 on Kaggle with a publication like this. It seems like you will be on a plane to SF shortly

I think this is one of the most popular patterns seen nowadays. We approach problems that we didn't before because they were absurdly stupid and touched so many places that it seemed risky, hacky, costed too much time. It would be nice

I don’t believe they are better at Ruby. Agents got better overall and people draw bad conclusions from their anecdotal evidence. Ruby on Rails is mostly DHH cult with people praising Ruby as poetry. This is coming from someone working 13 y

Those are strong claims and I think we need better evidence to support it. Most of the backend frameworks are batteries included to extent like Django, Laravel, Phoenix. Also many decisions made by Rails team are quite debatable, hotwire an
