My MIL has commandeered our wine cooler and there's nothing but assorted vegetables in there now. I can't comment on whether this is a good practice or not.

Haha, I read through the beginning of that article which focused on hexagonal. While it was an over-complicated example, it didn't look too bad. But then skipped ahead to your quote. It definitely felt like satire to me! (Or at least I

I always find these discussions interesting. I've been working for the same company 10 years. When we built project A, I was surrounded by people who had built the same product for the past 20 years together. As a younger dev, I deferr

Fair. I haven't used AI tools much. My understanding of hallucinations were the context typically matches the input, but details are wrong and the AI claims it's correct. In this case, the input "pictures from a UFO festival

Nope I have one parent group on WhatsApp none of whom are named Zach or Melanie. I haven't logged in Facebook or messenger in a long time, but I checked the groups there and none have any messages resembling what the assistant read.

I'm on mobile so I kept my message short. But it gave me a detailed itinerary of 4 different names I've never heard of including dinner plans with dates and times. I tried to replay the summary but there didn't seem to be any

Check my HN history. I've never posted anything of the sort. Or my follow-up comment with the embarrassing message I tried to have it summarize.

In case anyone is skeptical of my post, the actual sms my father sent was a few pictures from a UFO festival in upstate NY (a stormtrooper, an alien, etc) with the following message: "Wish I could say that the UFO Festival was out of t

Got to love HN. "You clicked the download link wrong".

This was a very long time ago, so I don't remember all details. But yes the download took hours. This was basically the first website I visited when I got internet access (and I would assume most kids did as well). So this predates 28.

I still feel bad I left my parents' computer online all night to download a .wav (?) audio file of Mario jumping from Nintendo.com. Back then, the closest most kids got to Nintendo was via video game magazines. So going to Nintendo.com

Hah, cool. I had a similar experience with Xoom.com (the website hosting company). They sent me a job application because I had been volunteering in their forums for a while, assisting people with developing websites. I still remember going

Keep in mind if you're selling to new customers, they may find your web app "dated". The new customers likely won't compare the web app to your desktop app, but to other competitors web apps. And these days the expectati

I've been building enterprise software for a while, but in smaller startups. In all cases we've taken pride in our UX. In the current product I'm building, the domain experts are a generation older than myself and the mockups

Even if the new Snapdragon X Elite were a generation ahead of Apple's M3, I still wouldn't buy a Windows laptop because of shenanigans like this. I bought into the hype with the original Surface Book (mine is completely unusable d

Wait you paid 25k for a used/salvage RX-8 in 2009? That sounds crazy. I think I bought one new for around 26k in 2008.

Kind of. I use their waterleak sensors and pair them directly with their YoLink Siren. The siren will go off without cloud, internet, or even power (until the batteries run out).

I have around 30 YoLink sensors scattered about our house (mainly for detecting water leaks). And for a long time I only had the single hub in the basement on the complete opposite end of the house. I never had any signal issue and they&#x2

We've had a similar issue even with our sass webapp. It started with one user at one client where a single UI in our large SPA started encountered odd bugs. And then other employees in the same department started having the same exact

Yeah I thought about that too. I suppose it could still be a problem if they have a second monitor. I guess there's the opposite perspective. By not actively trying to prevent it, we can weed out people who would choose to cheat in a r

It definitely helps in larger applications where things are named similarly, especially if you're dealing with a massive DB schema. If you have some method to update some data where all the PRs are longs and it has the signature "

We use this pattern extensively in a large Java app. As long as you establish these patterns early on in the project, the team adapts to the conventions. It's worked well for us and the lack of language support doesn't get in the

It looks like a Switch dev kit is only ~$450 from Googling. I believe dev kits in the past were far much expensive.
