One my biggest pet peeves is people reusing existing names like this for random software libraries. If you're thinking about it please just don't, it's not cute and it makes things worse for everyone. I love real VHS tapes

Never a graduate student, but I made the choice to not study computer science in undergrad because I didn't want a lifestyle of sitting behind a computer. Fast forward 8 years and... I'm a full time remote software developer sitt

Using chopsticks to pick up finger food that's a little greasy, like potato chips, while keeping your hands clean for typing feels great. I had a roommate that found it hilarious when I did so but I swore by it and still do. There are

I've used multiple crypto based sign in mechanisms and own a (tezos) domain, and I absolutely do not think it is the future or going to go very mainstream. Maybe I'm wrong, but crypto-as-auth seems highly problematic in my experi

He can hire someone to replace you if he thinks it can succeed. Or continue to work on it on his own without you. He sounds like he is being a bad person if he's keeping you there against your will or using guilt as a motivator. You a

I think a better metaphor for the main point of the article might be the man who has practiced one kick in 10,000 different ways. If he practiced it 10,000 times in the exact same spot on a punching bag he wouldn't have the same unders

I think polarization is likely to be much more extreme if you silo people off into like minded groups.

I like HN and the moderators, but this isn't how HN mods imo. People aren't just politely reprimanded and falling into line... People get accounts banned every day here. Moderation on HN is imo heavier than it is on twitter. To

I love Dominion the card /board game. Have played it many times! I'm a little confused why the app version would need to access my SMS message history, send messages on my behalf, and access my contact info though. I don't w

A lot of comments focused on their software engineering applications, but this article is about Home Depot online applications which are likely not for technical or computing positions. Many of their applicants might be great at handiwork

Risk of rain on higher difficulties was always very hard from when I first played it early on, but that's part of what makes it fun for me. I really enjoy a roguelike where you don't win every time; something about the challenge

I disagree strongly. Personal referrals are one of the most effective ways to get a job, and also one of the most effective ways to increase hiring quality. At the very least a personal reference will fast track you into an interview stag

So tons of energy (and mental energy) was wasted, graphics cards were hoarded and abused, and in the end nothing of value was gained. Sounds like crypto to me :) I'm glad the author took some positive experience from it though. There

I see this basic logic in almost AI ethics threads, and it starts with a big assumption: "humans learn from copyrighted source material without copyright violation". This then gets tenuously extended to "ai also learns, so i

Off the top of my head, I think Github and Gitlab are both based on Rails, as well as Shopify and Airbnb. So there are for sure some very large companies that use Rails successfully at scale. I can't speak to how difficult it was to

A huge pet peeve of mine is libraries appropriate existing topics as their name. Eleventy is a great name. When I search it I get nearly 100% Eleventy related results. Hugo is a not great name; if I search it and I get Hugo the movie, Hugo

I kicked alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis. Not all at the same time, and not all on my first try. Everyone's usage is different so you have to figure out what works and doesn't work for you. First thing is you have to really want

Nintendo makes a lot of money rereleasing games. You might not be able to buy an n64 or a copy of mario 64 new anymore, because they aren't manufactured anymore. But people will pay for a rerelease of mario 64 on the wii or switch, p

When the author sees that twitter and reddit both have iOS apps, he handwaves it away as a mystery why they are allowed to exist on iOS. Doesn't this go directly against his claim "no modern internet service in 2022 can have the
