That's pretty funny, I never thought I'd be accused of peak HN :D I meant it the way asveikau replied.

... Does it? The author made it pretty clear throughout the article that (in their opinion; see the "Blockchain" section) the walled-gardening comes from having to trap in your users in order to make some money from your service.

I wanted something that was fairly simple like Make, but that allowed me to write/manage my logic, and not have to learn a domain specific language. OTOH I didn't want to go through the hassle of having to install Meson or whateve

Can we just have a sticky on every foone post on HN to tell people to stop complaining about it being a Twitter thread? Maybe then Foone himself [wouldn't hate being featured on Hacker News so much][0]. Not to mention he has a perfectl

I agree, but the argument holds --- in particular I'm thinking of Google's supremacy experiment, where they did do something that, taken as a generic process, would require resources beyond "the best available classical hardw

I guess "physics based approach" could mean a few things (for context, my background is physics, not CS), but quantum chemistry [1,2] definitely stands in a very physics-y area while involving QC very directly. There is also QC fo

Hello! PhD student on quantum computing here. While it's cool that the field of QC raises excitement and there are efforts to promote QC to a more general public, it's always a little frustrating to see these approaches that, in a

Hi HN, [Sane][0] is a piece of software I've written to deal with my grievances with Make, Just, Bazel, Meson and other build systems or command runners. I've always been frustrated by either 1. the opaque domain-specific language
