I loved every bit of this post, especially the final few sentences. Thank you.

It’s amazing this is happening in late 2023. This business didn’t make sense when things were roaring!

I personally struggle with the 14". It feels too small to be productive on, at least for coding. Anyone else experience this? And yet, the MBA's screen in comparison is serviceable and nice, but nothing outstanding. That's th

Yes, it's easy to understand. Congress (our legislative branch) grants authority to the departments (our executive branch) to implement various passed laws. In this case, it looks like the Biden administration is instructing HHS and ot

Pitying strangers is an odd approach to life. Some people like cities and apartments. Others don’t. Okay.

I admit to not knowing much about the history behind this decision, but it does seem like an odd choice. If I were making a game that was both GPU-intensive as well as CPU-intensive as the simulation scales, I would target performance when

I really enjoy working with Swift. (Although I'm old school and enjoyed ObjC just as much.) I wish I had more time to work with. React Native is stealing all the fun!

[Former employee of several years.] Generally speaking, I would say if Autodesk believes open source can advance a business goal, it will support that open source project. But I never got a sense of Autodesk sort of culturally or in a deepl

Fascinating, even poetic, that DALLE-3 imagined a simple vista with a sign that reads "Error establishing a database connection." It's almost as if AIs imagine a dystopian future where humans are cut off from the very network

I love how they complain modern smartphones are addictive and distracting, while paying homage to something we called Crackberry.

I agree with others that the Getting Started material isn’t great and documentation in general is a struggle sometimes. It’s also a “chicken and egg” problem: the smaller size of the community means sometimes community packages are not avai

I jokingly thought to myself, when do we just move to Elixirscript? And then, remembering that everything has already been invented, I found this: https://github.com/elixirscript/elixirscript You're welcome.

In either case you have database calls (when calling an API, or when rendering from server). Adding network overhead (the subsequent request for data) is the last thing I'd want, if I could avoid it.

I genuinely don't understand what a table of Stock Price Change vs iPhone Release has to do with anything. Since expectations are priced in ahead of time, and those expectations might be reasonable or not, a product announcement date i

I don’t want to be super angry. That sounds awful. Am I really supposed to be? Can someone make a case that a large group of mainstream iPhone users are plugging in their phones and need better charging speeds? More than 480mbps? And if tha

It turned out great. We had fantastic teams, wonderful memories, left with great career stories. We still stay in touch and have great memories of our work together. I spent ten years helping to build it, but we sold and a year later I deci

Eh, maybe, or maybe you just don’t know what you’re talking about. Your reply is quite a reach on the presumption spectrum! The culture we needed in that moment was one of high standards, of directness and honesty, of pressure to do the bes

I was hoping they would move to SCSI. I understand it would change the dimensions somewhat, but it's ridiculous that in 2023 I cannot connect my iPhone to my Quadra 800.

I love this. When I was CEO of a roughly 60-person startup, one of the things I told my (then-new) executive team was, I don't do 1:1s and I'm not here to develop you professionally. If you require professional development, I made

Look around. Everyone on earth wants to maintain a standard of living. Governments are toppled over this. And yet it is the largest economy that is objectively slowing its share of contributed emissions. And it’s the largest exhibit that is

Chris, Ha! I love your reply. Thank you. I know you care about language design. As I said more or less, that's self-evident, and I'm sorry for taking your whitespace comments too literally. You're the source, after all, not m

I should have deleted that whole section. I know, I know. Sure, in some world, a whitespace character should dictate placement and lifetime in memory. That's my not preferred world, but also different spokes for different folks. :-)

A rant. I apologize. I try to avoid on HN and in general. Faster, yes, but at what cost? I'm so impressed by the Python community, but I'll never quite understand why they gravitated to... Python itself. It's unbelievable to

Typical of 37Signals: self-importance presented as courage. "IT departments are hungry to run their own IT again." Really, are they now? I can't imagine anything scarier: an organization that is ostensibly shy to spend on Big

It took 25 years to build the current state? Really puts the span of life into perspective. That’s way too long!
