Guilds and unions aren’t in place to prevent nepotism, which is difficult to prevent and happens in all industries. Really, that’s just a network effect, albeit a bad one. Labor organizations exist to turn disparate sources of a supply (lab

Why is this even an issue? The green bubble signifies an SMS/MMS message (or a non Apple Messages, message). I don’t think any non-Apple users are upset that their chat is in a green bubble as opposed to blue. It would have been nice i

I don’t see anyone specifically talking about CSS, but that is something I still generally just write without any libraries or tools. I do use SASS at times because I like the nesting, but I don’t always bother. In my 20 years working on th

Blitz-scaling is still the primary mindset at a lot of startups (at least where I've worked or the companies I've come into contact with). They may use some other term but the "grab market share as fast as possible and worry

I think you may be confusing economics terms with moral and ethical distinctions. I’ll grant that the idea of productive and unproductive labor is an outdated economic concept. Regardless, academically defining something as more or less pro

Cultures change constantly. They’re never in a sort of stasis. Culture is just the expressions of a group of humans, how they think, and how they interact. One could argue that rolling back abortion access (which has existed for decades and

I’m not sure I’ve ever felt like I’ve needed to personally organize parts of MDN but I might just subscribe to support the place. Who knows, maybe I’ll love the new features. Notifications could be helpful, though I’m more the “check in whe

Getting off the gold standard was also fantastic for governments and has resulted in one of the longest histories of economic stability and growth the world has ever seen[0]. We’ve had plenty of alternatives and most of them have been tried

I find NFT games interesting enough but jeez, .069 ETH is like $260 and that's the entrance fee for the first 10,000 users who want to stake. The art work leads me to believe it's a 2D pixel game and $260 for a pre-order is a LOT

So by "the end of software" Peter Wang is saying that we'd essentially have AI or Machine Learning making decisions about complex input. I think it's melodramatic to call that "the end of software". It's m

I think it's worth pointing out that this is just an opinion column. I wish HN had a tag or something for opinion pieces since they're so often mistaken for normal news articles (not to say you made that mistake, SQL2219).

This is pretty cool however Disney has been filming this way for at least a few years using a tool called The Volume[0], so I’m not sure if it’s a revolutionary as they intend it to be. It’s a great way to film since the imagery can be chan

Ha! This is a novel idea for KV storage. Even reasonably secure if it's the private hosted zone used in the post. I wonder if you used the public zone option and did the nslookup as specified if you'd run into wrong or empty state

If I had to guess I’d say it’s just market size. I’d bet there’s a larger market if people who want a large, high definition TV for movies and shows than there is for people who want a high definition monitor. Most business uses for monitor

I think the alternative they’re proposing is another Great Depression. Massive loss of homes and jobs with no way out. Businesses permanently crumbling because their customers are impoverished for a generation. But god forbid society take s

That’s because prevention is better than treatment. Prevention means less spread and can be administered at any time. Monoclonal antibody treatment is only usable within a specific window when a person is already ill. That means the person

I am precisely in your court app wise but I would also need my calendar. I don’t consider it stressful to have and myself and my family are pretty good about adding all of our plans to it so we know what’s going on.

This is the kind of good, simple advice I always love to see. Keep things simple, have each part of your code do as little as possible, make sure everything is as easy to informally reason about as possible. I also like the part about setti

I do most of my gaming on the same Mac Book Pro I work on and I buy pretty much everything on Steam anyway since I can eventually install them on the gaming PC I keep telling myself I’ll build. Not saying it’s a waste of money or time to us

Oh, I wouldn't let you get off that easy with posting one of dozens of hokey Wordpress links. I figured you'd try to hide behind the idea that "no one reads the articles that show the truth!" or some such nonsense, and h
