Super late response, but I play Jumbline 2 these days which is the exact same thing. Only a phone app currently I think though.

I think for most devs, software licenses are not a core competency. Most devs interact with licensing only occasionally, if that, and they may not have a good grasp of the licenses they work under (or if they do, they may forget parts of th

I think we should give Isao Takahata some credit too though. Grave Of The Fireflies is quite famous and that’s all Takahata. And Miyazaki has said that Takahata was very influential on him.

I like Disney’s dubs generally. Having watched Princess Mononoke 5 times with the Disney sub and 5 times with the Disney dub, I like them both for different reasons. Castle In The Sky has had a bunch of dubs: https://dubbing.fand

Agreed (assuming we’re talking about the US here). I’m not a rockstar dev but I have a lot of years of solid experience. I applied to 60+ programming jobs over the last four months without getting even a single technical interview. Every pr

Python seems closer to the GIL being optional than it’s ever been before: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-python-gil-past-present-a... I was surprised to read this myself.

My personal anecdote is that I tried learning Lean 4 last year with a group of other smart and curious programmers, and after a couple of weeks of trying, we failed to make significant progress learning it and stopped. We had much better lu

Have you seen other attempts by other companies to do this here, though? They often end badly. It only works for fly.io because they know how to read the room and aren’t trying to do something horrible. EDIT: Oh, and they often add valuable

Small note: @dang doesn’t do anything, if you were expecting that. Messaging hn@ycombinator.com will work, though.

I got denied three times in the final interview with different FAANG companies for not doing whiteboards fast enough. Not getting them right; I mean not doing them fast enough. I’ve passed some whiteboards too in other interviews so it’s no

I couldn’t find info on this specifically. But maybe you’ll find this paper that provides an overview of the phenomenon interesting: https://review.law.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2...

The article says the average Apollo user makes 345 API calls a month. Using your number of 2 billion calls per month, that’s more like 5.8 million MAU. Still around 1 percent of Reddit’s MAU. EDIT: Oops, that’s per day! Your math is right,

Dang regularly asks people not to make throwaway accounts routinely and bans people that do. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34142620 for one example.

Not to defend the other poster but the numbers you listed in the article are for India.

As a Westerner, this was my experience too when I tried roasting the spices, and I gave up on it after a bit.

Still mad about this too, like so many others here. I’ve been using Feedly since then, and it works for the RSS part. But I really miss the small community of people I discussed things articles with in Google Reader. Most of those people I

I’m glad many of you enjoyed the movie. I watched it for the first time last month and did not enjoy it personally. I think the thing that kept making me not believe the narrative was the assumption that you could somehow control how your D

I watched the entire pig section at the beginning (so more than 15 mins.) Thanks for linking it — I’ll watch the rest later. I would still eat pork and don’t feel it’s the worst thing that exists in the world. (I eat a lot of vegetarian and
