Morroco is the one pushing for it, in this case. It's not like the nation state in question is being forced into it. They see it as a major opportunity to export energy, a famously lucrative enterprise for countries.

Black coffee, if you don't add sugar of course, has no calories. Caffeine suppresses appetite. So if anything it makes you lose weight. I'd add that "good" black coffee should not be particularly bitter, and should hav

In this case it’s more about shifting where the static typing occurs, since the author is still arguing for a typed business layer. Since I/O is usually untyped, you need to cram it into a typed schema somewhere. In strictly typed lang

I’m not sure I understand the “infrastracture” label, but certainly for the cases the author listed as “infra” typing can be cumbersome. Famously just json deserialization can be rather painful in statically typed languages, especially ones

It's not really the same developer experience. Because it's a browser JS engine it's much less powerful than electron, and you need to write more rust as a result. For many people that's probably not a demerit but for ot

Working on R&D for anticipated features. The number of employees that work purely on KTLO is going to be under half at least. The rest are justifying the large revenue multipliers tech stocks get - from their rather high growth rates, w

I don’t think old loans are the problem. Corporate paper was dirt cheap during the pandemic, and the interest will still be dirt cheap now. The fact that new loans are not cheap thanks to high interest rates is the more threatening factor

Just because you have money, doesn’t mean you should burn more money than you need to. It’d be one thing if Google had a clear expansion goal that justified the extra headcount and cash burn, but they don’t. In the end, hiring is a transact

Kinda, it helps that you can do a proper pre-infusion phase, but in the end the bottleneck is human - there's no way you can get anywhere close to espresso pressure (not just 9 bars, anywhere near 9 bars) with your arm. You need mechan

They function as headphones. The main issue, for worse or sometimes for better, is that you need an iPhone to update the firmware. Apple's Quick pairing also won't work, but Android doesn't really have an equivalent anyway.

I mean hearing protection isn't a binary thing. I doubt they would pass hearing protection certifications for things that they're normally used for, like heavy construction or whatnot, but it'd be hard to imagine sticking som

It's definitely not a toaster oven. The fan is important - there's a reason CPU radiators have fans on them, and it's not because they don't do anything. You can argue it's just a convection oven with a faster fan,

Those seem reasonable. The recipe name is absurd so by necessity the recipes are. If you asked a chef to make a recipe for those dish names and they didn’t just ignore the name, it’d probably be similar.

Perhaps, but the issue is more that some people can't skip jail. No one should be in jail - they're innocent. It's a imperfect solution necessary because some people will flee, or commit further crimes (possibly retaliatory).

It’s usually more about flight risk. “Have nothing to lose” is the phrase that’d be associated with people who can’t afford bail. It’s a tough situation because optimally no one who’s not a flight risk or dangerous should be in jail. They’r

I think I lost brain cells trying to read the post (the font doesn't help). In my post lobotimzed state, I would summarize as: There's a site called Character AI that allows users to customize a large language models output to be

Having worked at tech companies with cutesy employee nicknames, I really think that's overthinking it. It is probably a way to try to have more corporate unity, but it does not do so to a noticeable extent. And IMO it's more about

We hear about small tech companies because this is hacker news, the discussion forum owned by Y-combinator the tech incubator… Also, small tech companies have >1b valuations, however paper thin, which is fairly unique.

That wouldn’t accomplish anything but symbolically (which some companies have done, eg Chesky reducing his salary to 0 during the AirBnB layoffs). In the end director+ level comp is a drop in the bucket to the bottom line. It buys no time.

If I were a board member I wouldn’t really want an environment where CEOs were deathly afraid of making bets that made sense at the time. It just leads to stagnation. What consequence do you think the CEO should face?

Yep, the pandemic caused tech companies to hire like crazy because so much money shifted from physical goods to services to digital. Many companies saw it as a once in a lifetime opportunity to catch a long living change at the start. Didn’

The advantage of Vim is efficiency and speed. The disadvantage is that it has a longer learning curve. For something like editing text, as a programmer you do this endlessly - it is absolutely worth it to be ruthlessly efficient at this, ev

While possible, I'm not sure an HR reduction in combination with 70% of your peer engineers resigning is exactly what those Twitter engineers considered.

Rosetta 1 had a ticking time bomb. Apple was licensing it from a 3rd party. Rosetta 2 is all in house as far as we know. Different CEO as well. Jobs was more opinionated on “principles” - Cook is more than happy to sell what people will buy
