I’ve seen managers hiring people with an intent to lay them off when winds change to protect themselves and their close circle. I can only imagine they’ve had great KPIs in both cases: first for scaling the team, and then for cutting costs.

It’s convenient to buy fat-free products to lower caloric density of everyday food. Given mostly sedentary lifestyle, maintaining healthy caloric intake is pretty hard, and limiting fats (not only fat-free dairy, but also lean meats) and su

I don’t think so. Windows is very easy to administer compared to both, Linux and Mac. There is also a compliance part that MS makes easier, though it’s a bit beyond what I really know.

Check out mixes by Blackest Ever Black label (now defunct) from NTS and Berlin Community Radio, listening to them literally feels like a journey. Funny part, sometimes they use a contrasting tune to end a mix, which creates a feeling simila

This appears to be a troll account, that only ever engages in heated discussions. Please, do not engage with it, folks :) On a related note, has anyone noticed actual bots commenting on HN? I sometimes feel discussions are a bit weird here.

Same here, just replaced the battery.

Maybe yeah. Though I doubt they’d reset data collection settings like that.

It’s possible to disable history in YouTube’s settings. This will turn off algorithmic feed replacing it with a reverse chronological feed of channels you’re subscribed to.

But if legal system decides the output of LLMs belongs to the entity that trained it, and given that Copilot has the capability to generate any possible code, that means Microsoft, via Copilot, will own copyright to all possible code in the

Oh, thanks for the information, very interesting!

Ask HN: I'd like to learn about software licensing. Any recommendations?

I second this approach. After setting these ones up, together with lsp-mode and company-mode (I like experience better than eglot), my configuration stayed mostly the same. I also kept adding new shortcuts for functions I needed (like symbo

I’ve recently rewrote my configuration and used Bedrock as a new starting point. It’s great, thanks very much for making it!

In game dev monorepo per product is often used, which includes game code, art assets, build system and tooling, as well as engine code that can receive project-specific patches. In Perforce, it's organised into streams, where developme

To my understanding, yes, but I'm just a hobbyist.

There's a problem with f32 due to devices using two ADCs to implement it. Essentially, there's certain volume threshold when device switches DACs, and it's audible. If you record sources with varying loudness, you may see noi

Apparently, yes. I remember reading a comment stating that with Redux, Facebook rediscovered UI optimisations of Windows 95.

I’d like to challenge a core argument of the article: > Only your last ~20 years of experience matters for these questions, because the basic landscape of software development changes so rapidly. [...] … with an anecdote. I’ve recently s

Highly recommend a short movie “Meshes of the Afternoon” (1943). Watched it in a local cinema right after Mulholland Drive, that was quite an experience :)

You can tune data assets while the game is running in editor. Hot reload works and is a crucial part of workflow in a lot of projects. The caveat, if I understand correctly, is that it works only for UObjects. I was surprised seeing UE reco

Casey Muratori’s content has had a profound influence on me as a programmer. I’ve enjoyed going through his articles (check out “Stable Filter” [1] if you haven’t yet), as well as his course “Computer, Enhance” [2]. 1. https://ca

Fair enough, I might be asking too much indeed, and may not be able to come up with an idea how LLMs can help me. For me, writing code is easy as soon as I understand the problem, and I sometimes spend a lot of time trying to figure out a s

Sorry, it’s a bit hard to understand from your blog. I’m a bit dyslexic, so there’s a chance I’ve mussed something obvious, but I couldn’t find any examples beyond ‘explain this short snippet’. Also, are your posts AI assisted? I find it ha

You sound like you’ve had success using this tech for work. Can you tell more about your personal experience, please? I’ve tried ChatGPT a few times a year ago or so, but it was extremely frustrating, and I gave up.

You have quite a history with audio apps :) Mine was a bit different, something like: FL Studio -> Cubase -> Ableton Live -> Renoise -> Reaper. As for DAW recommendation, it actually depends on your goals. I don't know much

Yeah, I've seen this resentment about audio UI a lot here on HN, some of them sound more ignorant than others, but I'm yet to hear a convincing argument against knobs. People should probably check out FabFilter products, best UI i

Yeah, I see how it can be confusing for novices. But learning curve aside, there is something other than just looks that kept this UI pattern alive all these decades. How I see it [1], absolute values don't matter audio software, excep
