Either way, people have options now. If one doesn't like the compromises of the thin phone, they can buy the thick phone. Seems silly to complain about the thinness if you're not the target demographic.

I find Silksong to be easier than at least Cuphead and Super Meat Boy, but I could totally see how one who isn't experienced with platformers may find it frustratingly challenging.

When dealing with timestamps, it's easiest to store and process them in UTC for as much of your code as possible. This means pretty much all of your backend and database code. Only convert these values from UTC to other timezones whe

There's a lot of assumptions being made in this comment and none of them are correct.

Hyper-V is a type 1 hypervisor, so Linux and Windows are both running as virtual machines but they have direct access to hardware resources. It's possible that Apple has implemented a similar hypervisor here.

I disagree strongly with this conclusion. I've seen firsthand what happens to large software projects that collapse under their own weight of tech debt. The software literally could not function as intended - customers were lost, the

I'm not so sure that would work well in practice. How would the inexperienced developer know that the code created by the AI was correct? What if subtle bugs are introduced that the inexperienced developer didn't catch until it

I understand what you are saying, I just don't agree with it. "AI" is not going to wholesale replace software development anytime soon, and certainly not within a year's time because of the reasons I mentioned. The way

If replacing Jira is really as easy as you claim, then it would have happened by now. At the very least, we'd be getting hit by a deluge of HN posts and articles about how to spin up your very own project management application with a

The USG is pretty old at this point, so that's not too surprising. I wonder if their newer hardware suffers from the same issues.
