My experience with several surgeries and going under full anesthesia every time hasn't been anything that dramatic. Sure, I could write a lot about the feelings I had and the thoughts about whether I'd actually wake up afterward a

Yup. I tried to find something in this 120 KB file today on Safari on a M3: https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/compiler/fro... Slow as hell and the Safari search function stopped workin

You are heavily mixing freedom with access to opportunity. They are not the same. I come from an Eastern European country. Before 1990, if I would have wanted to not study and only drink and let my live go like Diogenes, that would have nev

This is beyond vague. What do you even mean by morality? And how is it better for non-western entity to allegedly control the narrative, except also using it for its own benefit, which would be immoral by definition?

Is this an AI-generated answer? Most of these are not even true, although I still would prefer Go for micro-services. I'll address just a bunch and to be clear - I'm not even a big Java fan. - Quarkus with GraalVM compiles your Ja

I’m sorry but I do not agree at all. That “reign” continued forever if you count when java.time got introduced and no, Calendar was not much better in the mean time. Python already had datetime in 2002 or 2003 and VB6 was miles ahead back w

They might very well be, because time-handling in Java almost always sucked. In the beginning there was java.util.Date and it was very poorly designed. Sun tried to fix that with java.util.Calendar. That worked for a while but it was still

This kind of outlines AI tech, but I'd like to see how a ban will work with players like Microsoft. I think it's close to impossible. Microsoft's tentacles are so deeply entangled into European business that thinking about im

I don’t how it is lately, but 4-5 years ago when I used LinkedIn to land a job, a recruiter sent me to a JavaScript interview instead of Java. Not sure what went wrong on their side but it was hilarious and a bit irritating.

China is a beast in solar. Truly amazing work. That being said not only are they not canceling any nuclear projects, they announced close to 10 more just in 2025. They are building both and with a great pace.

I’m honestly not sure I understand. All electricity export charts I see show France as a net exporter of electricity and by a huge margin. What am I missing?

It’s almost as if their account was created for this purpose. I sometimes wish HN had the lobsters invitation model.

For smaller things, and I mean single-script stuff, I pretty much always use php-fpm. It’s fast, it scales, it’s low effort to run on a VPS. Shipped a side-project with a couple of PHP scripts a couple of years ago. It works to this day.

Bulgarians are using the DM since 1997 and the Euro since 1999, they just call it Lev. We have a currency board that requires every single Lev be covered by foreign reserves which as of current consist of 90% EUR and 10% USD, JPY, GBP and o

De-pegging would require selling your euro reserves and buy other currencies. I wouldn’t call it disruptive but a disaster. You’ll end up getting enormous loans that generations after you will have to pay.

FWIW, I refactored 500+ Junit 4 to Junit 5 tests with locally running Mistral 8B on an M3 MBP. It worked flawlessly, but surely I cannot attest for other use cases. Edit: it was 8B, not 7B.

I don’t agree. Tools like DeepL were and still are better than Google Translate long before chat bots became a thing. The French-made Mistral AI is pretty decent as well.

I totally agree and this has always been my problem with the iPad. It’s a great peace of hardware that to this day I can’t fully use for development. I have to resort to _crappy_ solutions like running a VM with code-server and SSH in order

You can’t just stamp a price tag on your app. Apple have price tiers and you must choose a pre-defined price tier. Edit: Not sure if up to date but for example: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/App-Store-Pricin

My impression about Fedi is that it’s much bigger than most people think it is, but those who are in it don’t like talking about it a lot.
