It’s hard to define a specific brightline, but I’d say you tend towards “complexity from scratch” as you spend time doing things other than making features. Some people try to write game engines from scratch before actually creating their g

I spent my first year in college sitting on my computer in my dorm, so it sounds like you’re in the sameish spot I was. Next time you’re talking with new people, try inviting them to do something with you. I made my first friends in college

I think you’re describing the growing pains that justify paying the costs of more complicated tooling. The big difference is that instead of needing to figure it out as a solo founder with bigger problems, in this scenario you get to figure

Not a solo founder, but I do a lot of ops professionally. Unless you have a specific reason, I say it’s best to avoid complicated tooling until later. k8s, ci, etc are all really useful and solve a lot of hard problems, but god are they a b

This reminds me again how cool phones architecture is. There’s a huge amount of patents around the idea that you don’t really need to have the power-hungry main AP on all the time. Instead, people get really creative around delegating beha

I want to talk about pay, and make choices based on what I know about other people's pay. I've attempted to do this several times with friends, but for a lot of people pay is just too intimate a number to discuss objectively. In o

Using city life as baseline to measure personal safety needs ignores the fact that living in a city safely usually is a matter of luck & avoiding places like the tenderloin in SF, the west & south sides in Chicago, etc. There’s also

Did HN ever not like electrons? I kinda need them to dick around with computers, I was pretty sure most other people here were into that too.

AWS isn't unique anymore and charges far more than other hosting providers (especially if you consider bandwidth). Modern software deployment solutions are quickly negating the cost-savings and convenience of autoscaling too. This just

I don't think Musk, Bezos, or Bransen are going to be solving war anytime soon. We can be concerned about human suffering while also being exciting about this possible incredible step forward for humanity. I could go to space in my li

Politicians, journalists, academics, every celebrity ever, etc aren’t on 4chan (or at least trying to have serious conversations there). This isn’t a good comparison.

Thanks for this reply, makes sense to me now and now I have more things to Google! Any idea how they’d extract the particles from the solvent to recharge? I’ll try reading the paper as well.
