"Debugger" is not just a "dev tool I like." It's the only way to see what a program is doing while it's doing it, unless you're just writing to your console and hoping you captured enough state with your w

The primary value of IDEs in the agentic era are: debugging, code review (with good diffing), and management of the agent’s context. I also use mine for browsing databases, but not everyone does that. You seem to have one of those three. I’

Claude seems to read when it needs to when I ask it to do something. Did you have a different experience?

It seems like you’re just trying to say he was a bad guy and you’re glad he’s dead, which is a valid way to feel, but doesn’t seem like the right type of comment for HN. Maybe framing it as, “For those who don’t know this name, here’s why I

No one seems to know this better than Musk. All the money of a million lifetimes, and he can’t stop getting upset when someone tweets something negative about him.

Windows is 10% of Microsoft’s revenue, so this is a result of them doing what you suggested and focusing on their core business (cloud services and Office). Remember that even they switch to Mac or Linux, many workers will still be forced t

That doesn’t hold water to me because Trump looks foolish whenever Israel violates the ceasefire, and Trump isn’t strategic or forward-thinking enough to let himself look weak for an ulterior motive. He’s never done it before. We also have

Trump hasn’t (so far) demonstrated the ability to stop Israel from bombing and invading Lebanon, so I’m not sure what we can hope will change before Netanyahu leaves office.

Iran didn’t insist on enrichment for weapons. They had verifiably stopped and then Trump threw away the deal where they agreed to stop. This is 100% Trump’s fault, from start to finish.

I find 1Password to be very smooth and intuitive to use (ignoring its sometimes unfortunate iOS integration, which is Apple’s fault).

Keep in mind they’re doing real-time logistics and messaging, as well as type-ahead search and managing ads and promotions

This is like saying, "We're spending 24 hours using local LLMs to search for my favorite color". The answer is subjective and meaningless.

Yes we do because a human literally had to write it. That’s at least one human pass and fact-check.

The problem is that we don’t know if a human fact-checked it before release or if we’re the first humans reading it closely.

I wouldn’t call it enshittification because there’s no business purpose to it. It’s more like Applification. Apple removes every hint the user needs to know how to use its UIs in the name of “simplicity,” which makes them undiscoverable and

Yes, obviously. Infosec has always been plagued by this. How many services make you pay for SSO?

I didn’t read TFA because it’s paywalled. The question asked by the headline is fair, but the next sentence is too credulous and is actually false. There’s a reason this was published as “opinion”.

A) I can't read the article because it's paywalled. B) Regardless of what story it tells, the article is an opinion piece by a journalist and a cardiologist, not authorities on the topic, and has a misleading title: that "ans

Why would it be my personal opinion? Do you think I was the one who did the research debunking them? If you're too lazy to Google it for yourself, here's a history of the Blue Zone research, how the original "researcher"

Blue zones have been utterly, thoroughly debunked. There’s no reason to still ask this question in 2026 unless a new/unusual population or lifestyle is emerging.

You can look at Trump’s comments about his own daughter to confirm that he’s at least attracted to underage girls. He was also credibly accused of raping minors multiple times, although those accusers were too afraid (justifiably so) to let

I didn’t say there was no age fraud. I just said this method of determining age is nonsense, which it is.

It is similar, in the sense that pseudoscience is being used to potentially ruin people’s lives. Nothing magically happens to teeth when someone turns 18. Wisdom teeth develop during teen years and may erupt as early as 16, as late as 25, o

A few thoughts on this: - it’s against HN guidelines to comment on downvotes - comments are supposed to be substantive, further the discussion, and inspire curiosity (and I think the joke failed at all of those) - it’s not a great joke, jus

What do you think “fails” means exactly? How does Texas fail in a way that doesn’t harm innocent people in both Texas and the rest of the country/world? Texas is larger (in both population and economy) than most countries in the world.

C# is like Rust in the sense that a regular (web, desktop, etc.) developer probably won’t need unsafe, but it’s useful for lower-level work in libraries and CLI tools, especially where performance is important.

Likely a secret bribe of some kind, which is what we’ve been seeing with many of his whiplash-inducing changes of mind.
