I have a Mac (and am very familiar with all its nifty shortcuts) but also a Windows and Linux machine, how would one type it on those?

Honestly, the relatively high probability of this happening is part of what makes HN great :)

AI makes it completely defensible these days, as long as you have some "dev intuition". Example: Someone just handed me a USB key with some old DOS software on it called SAGE made by a company which disappeared in 2011 (which appa

Good point about Perl. Why don't I consider Perl? I don't know.

I know, and that's how I feel too. Thanks for the reminder. It's just tough right now. I'm looking forward to simply being able to play literally any kind of game with him where he will actually adhere to the rules and unders

I will defer to your many decades of life experience. I just noticed that in my 53 year existence, only by the past 10 years, a morning workout (which I didn't do prior to that) was figuratively and literally eye-opening, not just phys

Maybe it depends on what you've done and for how long?

It was a subtle but satisfying (at least for me personally) moment in Tron: Legacy (2010) when Sam Flynn, the heir to ENCOM, breaks into the company HQ and releases their latest OS to the darknet for free, essentially forcibly-open-sourcing

Exactly. And if you consider that every hour you spend purely exercising (gym, treadmill, etc.) in the middle does NOT pay for an extra hour of life on the tail end, it doesn’t seem like the best trade. (I will say that a morning workout st

My kid is almost 4 and I'm 100% there. I used to spend hours messing with code, gaming, interacting on forums, and keeping up with tech developments. Biking for miles! Sailing! Beaching! Exploring new music and always just learning .

Ruby has a startup time and is slow. (Although compiled Crystal might be an idea...) I am specifically looking for a language that: 1) is a scripting language (don't have to worry about compiling it) 2) starts up fast (so if I use it i

Machine learning algorithms. And they're doing a fine job of it too, even if they remove the shared cultural experience. (Which is a big loss, to be sure. I grew up listening to Casey Kasem cover the American Top 40 on the radio...)

I looked at the docs. This seems to be comparing against Lua, which is why I specifically said LuaJIT This is quite a distinction to be made. Can you clarify? Directly from their guidelines page: Lua We write code compatibl

I haven’t found many downsides yet. I was already starting to rewrite some things in Awk (which I was drawn to for similar reasons- fast script startup time, simple easy language with good defaults), but Awk (while still also awesome) isn’t

I've been diving into Lua (a little late to this party, but turns out it's a perfect language to rewrite some commandline scripts I had that were getting unwieldy in Bash, especially with LLM assistance!) and it's really some

Honest question- Would a full IPv6 implementation across the board, hurt Tailscale's M.O. and bottom line, assuming all routing worked properly (a big assumption, to be sure)? You can probably guess the next question, if the answer to

My 2 cents- I lost 50 lbs or so on Mounjaro by the time I reached the maximum dosage. Then, a confluence of supply-chain issues and coverage issues eliminated ALL of it, and within a few short months I had regained all the weight. I finally
