From what I understood the reasoning goes roughly like this: 1. Human creates new AI species which is more intelligent than human 2. Since human tends to destroy other species the assumption is that this AI species is going to destroy the h

Honestly, since a couple of days I have the feeling that nearly half of HN submissions are about this soap opera. Can't they send DMs? Why the need to make everything public via Twitter? It's quite paradox that of all things those

Those that don’t know these patterns are way less of a problem than those who know them, know that it would be better to use them, but reject to do so. Because they are effectively lazy and don’t care about other people that have to work wi

Inheritance is considered harmful nowadays even if you ask the most hardcore OOP folks. That leaves us with composition, which isn't unique to OOP and eliminates one of the core "benefits" claimed by OOP proponents. (Object o

In an OOP codebase, what I usually find is an if or switch with some enum which then calls something along the lines of SomeManager.shared.whatever(). Sorry for being cynical. I can't help it.

I'll say it: NestJS is pure evil. It pushes OOP beyond its absolute limits. Not that I would consider OOP a good way to do things in general. Beyond misleading autocompletions that look helpful at first glance, it's usually somewh

It's just a logical consequence of search being convoluted with ads and content you aren't interested in (SEO). If your search query resembles anything close to a question, ChatGPT will outperform the plain old search results w.r.

My problem with this is that Apple somehow got into the position of being the deciding entity of what is mine and what is not. If you sell your devices, create a receipt. This way the legitimate owner can prove that they own the device now.
