Fair points, but those preferences seem more grounded in reality than the abstract reasons people say they love a language beyond its interface

Has been trivial to do for 10+ years. Next you’re gonna say I need RN or Expo to write JS for iOS. JS ecosystem = capitalism, websites, payments Python = math, language, theory

Author is confused. FP is disgusting looking anyway Once React came out with shit like useEffect(() => {}, []) And it was actually good and useful, I gave up on code aesthetics. Or rather, moved that thinking into overall commen

This is paranoid. It is not that hard. HN famously can’t keep people out of here. They make new accounts. It’s not enough to IP ban. It’s impossible to retarget people even without vpn, all I need is a different cell tower. I interact at va

You probably actually like it. Few of us left. Most are in it for the money. Like doctors etc. the job becomes an immigrant dream job for the ez money but they have no passion for it

Perfect - that’s it! Impressive stuff. Actually more impressive than I even imagined. “Fits in my SUV” you are a mad man! Love everything about this site. I might actually do it now haha - no more excuses.

Amazing resource if it takes off. I wanted to build a bed frame recently and imagined software where I could choose lumber from a list and visually assemble the bed frame in the software how I see fit, choose stains, flourishes - then go or

No, all I’m saying is weather apps should be able to show the slope of the beach that day (without having to go there and measure it. Maybe a symbol like this: \ With Beach advisory. Shorebreak inclines can cause dangerous r

You train the model with the loss applied at several prefix lengths at once: the first 64 dimensions, the first 128, and so on. This teaches it to pack the most important information at the start of the vector, like a set of nested matryos

On the contrary I gave use cases but concluded you’d be better off buying the right tools for the job (I would). But it’s still a cool project. I would just run Linux on the phone rather than what you’re saying. Not running iOS as a server

It changes constantly on a daily cycle and also on a larger seasonal cycle. Slope defines the water depth and what kind of beach it is - long flat beach means shallow water, steep beach means deep water - it affects if you can you fish ther

Those saying it's said backwards clearly aren't self-hosters! iPhone hardware wise is like an amazing alternative to rpi (way better hardware) But the software makes no sense at all for a server, with screen locking due to inactiv

No, it means you’re more than just syntax. And that if you make a bot that produces syntax you haven’t produced a programmer. Some workers are more 1:1 with syntax, like a developer from a gig platform or overseas contractor, the deliverabl

I think we’re leaving not them haha We’re out! Grads from big schools and frats are in - regardless of ability. It’s like when you build a Wordpress site for your client in 2009, after it’s live they don’t need you anymore (until the domain

Nah this whole thing felt artificial and forced. With Trump and everything else. There is a ton of work to do. We don’t even know how to stop aging and haven’t sent people to Mars, have still not really invented AI, and tons of business is

164 million people employed in 2025 divided by 320 million people means 49% were not employed. Raw figures. The actual “unemployment” figure you hear is not raw figures, since you must exclude the 75 million children and elderly. But still,

I agree on ~2010 at least in San Francisco, that's when it all started to turn toward social media and VC hype. a16z, Sequoia, Accel - people like that started showing up. (a16z invested in the first startup I worked at, they were only

Not at the rate it is currently gatekept - it will be prohibitively expensive for most people to use AI and AI-based robotics. It's already out of reach for most small businesses to justify spending on it, and some LLM consumer plans a

Predicting big weather events is not that hard even with 50 year old technology. What's hard is predicting details, like exactly where it will rain, what the slope of the beach is today (many people don't even know this changes dr
