The article is incredulous at times, I'm not deny that or trying to defend it. However, I don't understand why the author needs to have a solution to present? You wouldn't ask the person running into your burning home to tell

While I like the spirit of this idea, wouldn't the reviewer be incentivized to say "no" to as many claims as possible? This is akin to how health insurance reviews work and, at least in the usa, that never goes poorly...

This is the most underrated/prescient comment I've seen on hn. Once prompt engineering become a mature field this is going to be a serious issue. Finally, the crossover of creative writing x cs... for graphic design? I can't

I'm interested in knowing this as well! Maybe because, from the purview of the some parts of the market, saying you are going to raise it is the same as raising it? I'll be the first to admit that I'm not knowledgeable in the

I only ever took econ 101, so forgive me if I'm missing a subtle point... Isn't saying that there exists a *shortage* of demand the same as saying that there is available supply but no one is willing to buy at the current price? T

Nope! I just didn't feel that making a bigger claim would really strengthen my argument.

Barring the sky falling, our best bet for NP hard problems is approximate solutions that have provable lower bounds on approximation ratio. From that purview, a general heuristic for approximating combinatorial optimization problems would b

This is akin to a Greek of 5th bce asking Leucippus and Democritus how we could know the structure of a world we cannot see. The absence of an answer is not proof of nonexistence or impossibility. It is just neutral absence. Absence as evi

I'm sorry, but this is all a matter of perspective, even in the narrow perview of graphic drivers. As a counterpoint, Intel's linux graphic drivers are the very best. That's not to say they don't have problems, they have

Your parent knows how's to read code and can recognize the purpose of the second statement but not the first. While that is not some end-all metric, it does says something about the Go idiom's clarity. Hopefully that helps explain

This. I'd have half a mind to call their boss and let them know... but I'd just be making the whole thing worse. Just let the applicant know...

I only want to subtlety modify this statement that I wholeheartedly agree with. There are a bunch of mobile apps that have no business being native apps (at least by modern sensibility). We are simply course-correcting all that nonsense bac

I'm in the same camp as the two of you! Sure, I've had mine replaced 5 times, but I love the actuation/feel of the keys. It was/is light years ahead of any other 2mm or less keyboard I've tried. I'm legitimatel

Can we not jump to blaming a person's bad choices on the first medical condition that fits? I know Musk has said he has bipolar disorder, and I'm not trying to discount that. I'm just saying what if... gasp... he simply did s

I wrote one of those apps (I'm not going to say which one for anon reasons)! It was the first (and last) JS app I ever wrote. Its been over a decade, but I remember liking the SDK. Thanks for bringing this back to life, memory lane and

Don't laugh... But beats headphones? Still reasonably popular and act as Apple's headphone market + supply chain testing platform.

Getter and setter are not just for keeping state immutable. They allow an api to control _how_ state changes. The most obvious example is maintaining thread-safety in multi-threaded environments. I get they can be cumbersome, but using them

I really want to second this. We wouldn't say ASIC wifi chips are "emulating wifi"... What is the real difference between an ASIC and an FPGA... Write once vs write many?

My tin-foil brain thinks this is by design. But not "tell the call center folks to lie," conspiracy design. More like: Find the cheapest call center that is already leveraged really thin with clients. Then get someone in dev who i

Expensive is a really relative term right about now... 64gb DDR4 LRDIMMs could be had for about 250$ each on eBay before the chip shortage. While that price is a "good-ish deal", it really wasn't unheard of. A search I just d

The classic CS route for readiness to take ToC is programming+data structure (which if you are asking about taking ToC course, you probably have under your belt) Then algos which is usually the first time a student encounter asymptotic anal

At this point, we have two competing pieces of information: (1) Some workers say they are just as effective at home (2) Some higher ups believe employees are noticeably more productive in the office Comparing the veracity of these two oppos

So much this! You could, maybe, make an argument for brand ranking if the brands didn't share DNA and just happen to have the same parent company. That is not the case here. Using the above example, oppo, realme, and oneplus share key

Same! After out-of-hand saying "no" once, I had someone offer me a contract by way of a friend. I valued the friend so I met with the client. About half way through, the client's (a large-ish health org) point-of-contact aske
