The thing I’m continually surprised by is the usage of obsidian by nearly every ancient-ish civilization. The usage of bow & arrow predates farming, insane.

Very dumb question - sending code over the network to be executed elsewhere feels like a security risk to me? I’m also curious how this looks with browser or mobile clients. Surely they’re not sending code to the server?

This is the most HN comment I’ve seen in a while. The real abstraction here is coding with LLMs btw!!!

Unfortunately, there's massive drift between WebRTC implementations. The status quo is Google's, which is used by Chrome: https://webrtc.googlesource.com/src/ And everyone else has to play catch-up. A big sou

I'm a big fan of Execute Program from Gary Bernhardt: https://www.executeprogram.com/ It uses interactive exercises + spaced repetition. It's really the only way I've managed to learn Regular Expressions.

Don’t AWS and GCP also produce some of their own chips and hardware? But basically you’re saying, yes, AWS and GCP are making just as much, maybe more, margin as Hetzner?

How does Hetzner manage to be so much cheaper than AWS & GCP? Are the other cloud providers just making THAT much margin, or does Hetzner have a special angle?

I have a dumb, and likely annoying, question: why isn't Rust the clear choice? I think it has to do with Zig's "interop with C" but this is very abstract for me. Is there a code example that shows something that's s

I find lectures much better than books. A lot more engaging and good lecturers are also good storytellers. Especially if you watch lectures at 2x the speed, you can save A LOT of time. And I'd bet your understanding is better, since le

What do you mean by "platform"? Is this open source? Can I run everything locally? Is this basically an RBDMS and Kafka in one? Can I use SQL? I understand the handwaving around programming semantics, but I'd like clearer exp

I have a very naive question. Why does Python have a GIL? Is it because of the language design, or because of its implementation? If it’s due to the language design, how will Mojo avoid a GIL, given its goal is to be a superset of Python?

Congrats on the launch, this is fantastic. I love seeing these releases. They bring me so much joy & excitement. Can you provide some thoughts on the benefits of doing ML on Elixir vs. Python? Is the benefit the language semantics? Is i

This is more than just naming things. It’s also that Ruby allows you to monkeypatch _any_ method, even if it’s a Kernel method or already defined by a library or framework (like Rails). It’s extremely powerful, which is great! But I want a

This is precisely why climate change policy is so difficult to enact. Folks don’t understand the urgency until they experience it themselves, and by that point it’s gotten really bad. There’s an analogy with tech debt or old software here s
