Now I'm really curious what kind of answers you're getting. If literally nothing, sounds like this is a great filter (but also makes me wonder what kind of candidates you're choosing to talk to).

Not much to go on here... do you recall anything at all about the content or subject matter?

Google is usually pretty on top of fast-changing sources like HN. My mind was blown more when I saw that ChatGPT seemed to ingest and regurgitate an HN comment of mine as an answer within 10-15 minutes of my posting (see the thread in http

Facebook still uses Mercurial for their monorepo, as far as I know. I suspect GitHub is the reason git ultimately won. It became the easy default choice compared to the decision making involved with setting up local version control. For the

I think tattoos on mummies have been known for a while, though these do look very artistic. The thing that surprised me the most, oddly, is this throwaway sentence: The team worked with researcher Daniel Riday who reproduces ancient tattoo

Our family did this recently as well at teamLab Planets in Tokyo. I filled out a circular template with a very creepy looking "smiley" face. The template turned out to be for raindrops. I couldn't stop giggling when hundreds

This is a fantastic summary and the only thing I would add is that FDB was publicly available only for a year and a half before Apple bought and close sourced it. There was simply not enough runway for the hype to develop. By the time it wa

Posted about this in the past, but what really got FoundationDB on my radar was a demo at a developer conference, back in 2014-ish. They had the database running across a bunch of machines, with a visual showing their health and data distri

Does it have to be Synology? I recently replaced my 17 year old Drobo with a Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus, installed TrueNAS on it and couldn't be happier. Beautiful box with specs that Synology can't touch. Manufacturer is fairly n

I worked at PagerDuty, so definitely not selling availability theater. We did multi-cloud / multi-region for many years, and the story is not so simple. Development is all about trade-offs, and deciding what risk you are OK with. Multi

As a related aside, the best practical book on progressing through management ranks as an engineer that I've found is The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier. Highly recommended.

While AI hallucination problems are widely known to the technical crowd, that's not really the case with the general population. Perhaps that applies to the majority of the user base even. I've certainly known folks who place inor

When I worked there, employees were no longer allowed to submit an Oops request for anyone other than, IIRC, themselves or close family (and they had to personally vouch for those). Very user-unfriendly for sure.

Reminds me of the Dullest Blog in the World ( https://dullestblog.com ), which I frequently checked out more than 20 years ago. Hilarious to see a new entry just a couple years back.

I have never heard of this approach. It does sound interesting in theory, but I have a hard time seeing this work beyond the simplest of CRUD apps. My initial concerns would be: - Maintainability: the "duct-tape logic", as you put

Can you provide an example of a prompt that gets SEOPro AI mentioned by an LLM (without feeding it the name first)? I tried a few in ChatGPT and Gemini and got all sorts of products mentioned, but not yours.

I agree with the unloved part. It was a great middle ground between Lambda and Fargate (zero cold start, reasonable pricing), but has seemingly been in maintenance mode for quite a while now. Really sad to see.

This sounds pretty close to how my brain processes things. I too have aphantasia, so imagination/visualization is conceptual/non-visual. The way sound plays in my head is via imaginary humming or singing by me, it never sounds as
