Is the eject button the only thing that makes Porter more appealing than something like Fly.io or Render? They too automate a lot of stuff but for a better price.

What do companies gain by pretending that their product is made in America?

Hasn't there been critical discussion of the efficacy of single source recycling for a long time?

That's a fine perspective but the way you worded your comment was evocative of the typical "X is objectively better than Y" tech comment. Are you aware that Ruby includes a lot of functional programming features (including pa

My guess is that world would be indistinguishable from ours. There is nothing wrong with Ruby.

Well put. The difficult part for us software folk is learning to apply that model to software. Customers in the world of software generally don’t know what they want. I think the low hanging fruit here is to copy products from the unethical

You can still be rich. Tech culture, or rather modern capitalism, tells us that businesses need to raise a bunch of money, capture a bunch of users, and then squeeze them for all they'll take. It fails us in two very distinct ways. It

"in an area where there are no snakes" Surely that isn't true, right? I'll point out the obvious truth that this funding model encourages businesses that are boom or bust. That seems like a big snake to me. Bust is like

When will people learn that you can't trust any of these platforms? It's easy to make the argument that the network effects outweigh the risks but I would take a stable, smaller income stream over something like this any day.

To me it seems like this paper reveals two truths. 1) Many people are happy living life and never exercising their brain. 2) Some people, like Aldous, are not. Instead they choose to more often than not. I suspect that this has been true fo

+1 for RubyMine. It works perfectly out of the box.

I think it helps adjust the “deloreans were perfect cars” tone of the comment. Also, the panels of the car definitely rust too.

YouTube premium is ridiculously janky for the price. I’ve gotten ads in weird, new parts of the app multiple times as they’re experimenting with new strategies. Like while scrolling shorts for example.

Meh, it's fine for 99% of use cases. Rails only becomes a pain in my experience if you have random, huge swings in traffic or a ton of active users with websocket stuff (mostly solved by anycable). But very few products are going to re

Worth noting that bunny CDN's volume pricing is $5/TB with further decreases as the volume increases.

Yeah, I’m sure the guy at the bottom of Google’s org chart knows for a fact that Discord is bloated.

by sosodev 3y ago
Yes. From my perspective the conversation here is generally awful. It’s the same tired faux genius rhetoric over and over again. How many times will I read “these companies are just way too bloated” as the top comment on a layoff post? It’s

How is this an incubator? It sounds like a contracting company that sells you shovelware for a huge discount.

It’s the way HN continues to rationalize the hundreds of thousands of layoffs. Every company is bloated and few software engineers are worth keeping it seems.

How does that make sense? Canadians are cheaper to hire than Americans but not by that much, right?

The 8700G should be roughly as powerful as an Xbox Series S. These modern APUs have come a long way. I suspect they don't bother making them much more powerful because the cost/performance ratio can't compete with the standar

Totally agreed. If companies didn’t want to pay for Slack they would have jumped to the alternatives already.

It seems like this is still very much a legal gray area. If it's concretely decided in court that generative AI cannot produce copyrighted work then I assume it makes no difference what the source of the copyrighted training material w

Right? I know Mac users are a fraction of the market but recompiling nothing almost seems petty.

I'm kinda surprised that this government science website doesn't seem to link sources. I'd like to read the research to understand how they're measuring the accuracy.

It's a matter of perspective of course. I think if you claim that this makes Apple evil then you would also need to argue that most of capitalism is evil. Aren't the vast majority corporations just trying to make more money? I wou

Myst supports ray-traced reflections. I agree that it's not a particularly good show piece though.
