This month, there were Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan and Asteroid City by Wes Anderson. It does show that HN is a website for techies and not for cinema enthusiasts; there's good stuff out there, but you won't get to it if you

It's not unfortunate that most people don't read contracts - it's unfortunate that services create such dense contracts int their defense, knowing full well no one reads them. I propose the following: a ToS is accompanied by

In what scenario? One that you don't have enough money for a nice phone so you buy a shit one, but you have enough money to replace it all the time? Technically correct sometimes is not the best kind of correct.

Yeah that's quite toxic. If the project is successful, the top level gets the praise for the vision. If it doesn't, the team gets the blame for lousy execution. The responsible for executing should have a day in a lot more things,

It's just PR speak for "yeah we fired everyone to cut costs but pinky swear the quality won't be affected please keep buying". Which other business fired their employees and outsourced their work to become better? Approx

It sounds good in theory, but this usually results in picking the cheapest freelancers. A magazine which fires all its writers is not looking for quality, it's looking to cut costs.

I don't know a lot about monitoring, why do you say pulling is an anti pattern? My understanding is that with the push pattern you submit a metric when it's available, with the pull pattern you make them available via an interface

Older generations always critize younger, that has little to do with inflation and price sensitivity. The boomer doesn't like avocado toast, so they don't understand how someone would pay money for it. But it's likely they a

But does it result in better quality of life? Maybe competitiveness is not the best target to optimize for.

It's not that they lack moral character - is that they don't exercise it. The whole system rewards maximization of profits, and all else is an up hill battle.

Won't someone think of the shareholders? This denial of responsability is a cancer on society. Poor devs, they can do no better because their manager ordered them to. Poor managers, they can do no better because they must reach their O

Anti-terrorism and authoritarianism go hand in hand, that's been clear since 9/11. The problem is that government us terrorism scaremongering to justify erasing citizens rights. It's completely valid to be anti-terrorist and

People keep themselves busy (or soon they're out of their job). When there's no high or medium priority studs to do, people move to the low priority and do it, even if useless.

I agree with the sentiment, but a there is a caveat: not all documentation is created equal. There's incomplete documentation. There's API documentation without examples (ie specification but no example/tutorial). There'

Good question: I see one way it may work and another it may not. I think the profile of their users is less diversified: mostly tech savvy people. "Normies" are using those vpns advertised in YouTube, or not using any at all. This

All companies depend on their customers, that's not a reddit only thing. If Coca-Cola pisses of their customers, they'll go to Pepsi in the blink of an eye.

I think type hints help a lot. A codebase with classes and type hints reads much better than one using ad-hoc dictionaries for every data structure. But on the other hand I don't really like Go, so maybe it's different languages f

You're exaggerating. Requesting for people to communicate more in group chats instead of direct messages takes 5 seconds. Scheduling regular 1:1s with juniors keeps a tight feedback loop. Schedule it once every x weeks and there you go

Counter argument: there's lots of ways to share knowledge remotely, some people just aren't used to it. Learning: presentations, pairing, questions via messages, asking for a quick call to clarify something. Also: document your sh

As far as I understand, it's mostly the weights. If you only have the models, you're still gonna need to get a massive amount of training material, huge costs for training it and fine tuning the hyper params until it works.

Hmmm... I'd day restoring a bad review would be even more suspicious. Let them come naturally and don't delete them - unless the company reconsiders the benefits of premier, that is.

On the other hand, consumers have little control over businesses. I'd be fine with eco friendly delivery, eg more wait time to minimize trips in the neighborhood, electric cars, etc. Most of the time I'm sitting on a full online
