His book is really good reads indeed. Sometimes you get an offer that is financially irresistible. And after thousands of hours of hard work you finally get some reward. Betrayed? That’s why people have lawyers to let them draft really good

I’d feel at ease if people like them didn’t have guns - luckily, they don’t have a briefcase with a red button.

Correct, they are retiring, for sure. The last thing I’d ever put into mission-critical systems is an LLM. So let’s hope it’s a mainframe sandbox so future COBOL programmers can learn on it. :) In any case, COBOL systems work precisely beca

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. So letting an LLM loose on a mainframe is like letting a fox into a henhouse. :)

I remember late 90s - we made a website that greeted incoming readers with message “Hey, you come from {ip address}.” Today, it seems that websites track and collect much data as they have partnerships with 1,000 partners (see cookies conse

Website is a good dog. But its owners don’t have to be good as they can re-sell data about you to someone else. Some sites can have more than 1,000 partners - you can explore their intentions in cookies consent window.

IRL communities have to have some guides because a lot of people forgot how to gather. It can be seen among kids - try to give them soccer ball and see what they do with it :) Yesterday I was watching people on the street and on the tram. E

Honey, get used to it :) But seriously. I am not against ai slops in general, people explore what’s possible to make. But I don’t really appreciate them at Show HN - there should be a new thread for ai-made or -assisted projects, or there s

People should have a separate card for online payments and have just enough money on it for a payment. I know that I am naïve :) Back to the article: Weak point was a password that lead to another merchant not using 3D secure. It seems from

Well done. Dependence on Cloudflare… have you considered making it a service that I could install on my own server?

The waterfall is this: Owners/managers - sales and marketing - agency - designers - coders… …and owners’ spouses/partners… these have a final word in many cases :) Customers or users? They are designed as persona types during sale

It's a shame I didn't know that. Thanks.

Great, good to know. Thanks. I wasn’t brave enough to test, so I hope you are a human not a dog that tries to prank me :))

Last time I have updated (half a year ago) it deleted tabs. And since that time I haven’t been brave enough to update it again as I have too many tabs unsaved :)

Sidenote: Sublime remembers all tabs even those unsaved. (Software update deletes this memory.)

“This has resulted in fractured attention, anxiety, and sadly, a diminished sense of place and belonging even with the connectivity the internet could offer.” Do you think this might also be related to recent people’s estrangement from hous

Muscles that are not used weaken. Back before mobile phones, it was common to memorize entire phone numbers. And before Google, we used to be able to remember web addresses. Now it is coding.

Absolutely, wise man (not an entrepreneur) writes a message to his students. We seem to forget what it was to be a freshman. At that age, you look up to anyone who’s more experienced. Yes, you have to deliver, iterate and make mistakes very

Mainframe terminals were nasty, I remember them. Similar high keys to recent keyboards that are so liked by gamers… but I get it. My dentist had a carpal tunnel that needed surgical procedure. If I don’t use mouse all day my hands are prett

Well, everything text-based is somehow calming, no need to touch mouse (and have a carpal tunnel).

Well done indeed I hope that Lego (not lawyers ofc) would appreciate such creativity approach and hire creators. (E.g. similar to acquihire of OpenClaw creator by OpenAI.) How many of us do think this way? I am always jealous (in good way)

P.S.: I didn't mean that in a negative way; I was just surprised that we have to learn this because our kids have forgotten it, or probably we don’t teach planning in elementary schools.

I thought it was common practice to think things through first and only then start doing something, but it seems that these days a lot of people have taken inspiration from Zuckerberg’s motto, “move fast and break things”… I’ll never forget
