> Put plainly, we do not believe that Git is the future of source control. Git has served developers well for many years, but it was designed around the constraints of 2005, not 2025, let alone 2035. For example, it was built for the Lin

I'm not going to argue splitting hairs about what ADHD is. Many of the most famous CEOs and startup founders have properly diagnosed ADHD and have been very vocal about it. This is also often true of any business owner you've me

Everyone remembers, but ADHD is overrepresented in the high-level positions of leadership.

All well and good. I agree with the sentiment, but why are we asking for permission? Does this not strongly demonstrate the inherent corruption of institutions?

Yes, people realizing that for themselves was the intent of my link. This discussion about trivia we're having right now is the only mojo left in the bottle. It's the same parent company as the security guards at your local shoppi

You're also welcome to put your two cents in, but your replies sound identical to the bots and throwaways of last year and the year before that. Every time it's the same agenda: trying to keep up appearances of meaningful engageme

I've been hearing this retort every year. The only difference this time is you're not a green account. If things have actually changed, you wouldn't be begging the question. LLMs, as popularly used, are still just a new kind

Do a few bad grades really harm economic outcomes, though? Educators took a hard stance against AI rather quickly. Outside of delusional grifty startups, the broader corporate world is only using copilot for taking meeting notes and (sort o

A war movie... yes a theme is emerging from these replies. Thanks for assisting making my point.

You're right. I wouldn't bother with a review for any comedy. A sense of humor is very fickle and you usually know if you're going to like it ahead of time based on who is involved.

I feel similar, but haven't seen a "film" worth a review in ages. It's always the same problems: glacially slow pacing, one-dimensional characters, dialogue and plot insist on injecting politics or memes (that are probab

I think back on when I consumed the most "content". It was way back before I worked from home. The peer pressure was a significant part of why. I agree with you otherwise, though.

You're absolutely right to react that way.

I guarantee your specs/testing are either inadequate and/or you're not leveraging lots of existing (and probably free open source) code that was already written by humans and meets the spec better without ever needing an LLM.

I like Heliboard a lot, but its autocorrect gets stuck in the mud all the time. It completely falls apart and starts injecting nonsense phrases made up of nonsense misspelled words moment you miss a space ('v' or 'b') or

HN only (lazily) filters content. It doesn't engage in ideological vetting, and doesn't need to either. A good amount of the commenters on this story probably would encourage violence, or at least agree with the sentiment on a dif

The discussion around privacy is always framed the wrong way. The authoritarians use the red herring of "nothing to hide", while the liberals only argue on the most sensational abuse cases or somewhat flimsy high-minded principles

You're conflating "predictable" with "reproducible". "Predictable" assumes there is an observer making a guess, but we all live by the knowledge that our assumptions may be wrong. We care less about that,

Everyone is trying to figure out the chess board not realizing that they are being completely distracted by a simple game of chess. :) In other words, since the USA endlessly debates everything, you might as well put out messaging that crea

This is very true. These kinds of lists tend to be reactive to the author's environment and current state of mind. Work is not the enemy. A lack of autonomy ruins motivation. Ask someone younger and their top ten is completely differen

The precise word choices have nothing to do with it. Even in this rebuttal you're still projecting an oversimplified perspective.

I'm curious how these polls are conducted. These polls are at least already biased since people self-select. If they're online only, even moreso. If they're only advertised to echo chambers, even moreso. Anyway, the result ma

Sucks to be that guy? I'm not sure what your point is. You haven't given enough information to assess much. It's also likely you don't know all the numbers or you'd be working there.

I think the point was many people are car enthusiasts and can technically afford the maintenance if they want it that bad. In fact, it usually takes them down the path of flipping the cars and falling up instead of down.

You insist on using broad brushstroke language like "masked goons". Nobody is going to listen to your lack of nuance on other topics either.

In my experience, what is "useless" to me is required by another team. Believe it or not, that's what the majority of the business thinks about software code too, and you're only further proving my point.

Yes. I am thinking about rock, jazz, and fingerstyle playing. They're hardly edge cases and haven't been for decades. They're so popular and modern enough to prove the original point. With regards to tuning, fingerstyle will
