My 13yo son recently discovered Godot and I'm very impressed by how accessible and powerful it all is. He had started gamedev a few years ago with Scratch. Figured out Roblox Studio a fair amount, but it's super quirky, plus he wa

Yeah I probably will, when this one breaks. I had Android always before and I'm pretty unimpressed with Apple. HN'ers love to imagine that only Apple has their interests in mind unlike other BigCos, but no Android phone I had ever

Related to this, does anyone here know how to stop my iPhone asking me to turn on iCloud?

For a lifetime license incl updates forever that seems quite reasonable to me. It's a bit over a year of Netflix. In fact, given that it includes perpetual priority support (within a business day!) I expect the author's gonna chan

Woa madness. Was that at the D&E department?

NPM is plenty opinionated. For all its mistakes, it got lots of things uniquely right too. For example it’s very uncommon in JS land to have version conflicts (“dependency hell”). If two deps both need SuperFoo but different versions, NPM j

Yeah I knew plenty people at ASML at the time. I wrote my comment a bit too condensed there, the interview wasn't my only exposure to the place. At the time it was very chaotic (for good and bad), the codebase was awful, there was plen

Yep! That's kinda what I said, no? :-)

I'm not convinced ASML leadership is very focused on what's going on at Meta. The organizations are incomparable, except if you zoom out so far that all you see is "big" and "tech" (plus I'd wager that the

The press release ( https://www.asml.com/en/news/press-releases/2026/strengtheni... ) seems remarkably to the point, for CEO press release standards. I'm impressed by their ambition to fire 1700 mana

How is it not viable now?

I don’t see how “robotaxi” implies “monopoly” at all. The road network is already there. There’s lots of money to be made. The idea that only Waymo will ever be able to figure this out seems rather far-fetched to me.

I simply don’t see the problem. What’s bad about a future with fast, door to door, automatic, public transit? That’s how every scifi movie showed the future to me and this guy is against it for… for what actually? A car maintenance hobby? C

Wow Handy works impressively well! Excellent UX too (on Windows at least).

I haven't investigated this so I might be behind the times, but last I checked remotely managing an SQLite database, or having some sort of dashboarding tool run management reporting queries and the likes, or make a Retool app for it,

You simply don’t need such inflated salaries if schools are free, roads are not broken, trains exist, healthcare is affordable, grocery stores are in biking distance, parks are good and free and plenty, labor laws are in your favour, utilit

Yeah ofc. I mean as someone who grew up in Guesser Land and got taught that it’s important to be able to read people’s minds, discovering that I can just, you know, ask, felt like a superpower. I don’t think I’m overdoing it.

I'm not that autistic but I simply can't deal with Guessers. The idea that I have to play some kind of 4D chess game to figure out what I am and am not allowed to ask or do makes me extremely stressed out. How am I supposed to m

How is being outcompeted “grift”? I feel like I’m missing some context here.

Fwiw I think it’s perfectly fine if people downvote me if they disagree with me. I think that’s an unavoidable effect of having up/down arrows, regardless of what the rules say. If i say something controversial I expect some downvotes.

Indeed! That's why they moved Windows to the B team.

I feel like these lines are getting increasingly blurred. Eg "The Recruit" is basically "what if Mr Bean (could say entire sentences and was young and handsome and) would get a junior legal gig at the CIA". It's ver

Nadella more than 10x'ed the value of Microsoft. I doubt many MS execs think it was the wrong call to move Windows work to the B team. EDIT: somehow people seem to think I'm defending MS here. I'm not, I'm concurring tha

Can you elaborate on how you use AI for this? Do you do it for coding or for “everything?”

by skrebbel 9mo ago
It wouldn't. I read this as "we gotta try something " but let's be honest, no amount of work on incorporation rules or employee options schemes or whatever they make up next, is going to meaningfully change the culture

I currently hold some Vanguard ETFs. Any tips on similar broad “world economy” type funds that don't use dollars?

Thanks I that case my conclusion is that all the people saying that these models are "distilling SOTA models" are, by extension, also speculating. How can you distill what you don't have?

It also doesn't catch clicks between the label and the radio button.

Yeah but are we all just speculating or is it accepted knowledge that this is actually happening?
