I work in the German healthcare sector, which is partly public and partly private, and I have been doing so for a little over a year. The level of bureaucracy is staggering. There is no shortage of good ideas or genuine innovation, but most

The moment you mention Israel on this platform, you are systematically downvoted. Not only on this platform. From corp media to social networks. From BBC who dares not use the word Genocide. To HN, where you are downvoted to oblivion the mo

Totalitarism slowly advancing in Europe. Recently I read an article about leftist groups and orgs being debanked. One of them is Huseyin Dogru, a Turkish/German journalist. German government acknowledges it, but can‘t see any problem w

While I agree that we should be genuinely engaging with each other on this platform, trying to disallow all AI generated content reminds me of the naysayers when it comes to letting llms write code. Yes, if you wanted to ask an llm, you’d d

A company that cuts all services to members of the International Criminal Court because they prosecute war criminals that are protected by the US is not a reliable service provider for non-US customers. That’s why Swiss Data Protection Offi

So we had this short period of ad-free time on ChatGPT. A tiny bubble where things were not polluted yet. And of course, now they are going down the exact same path as everyone else. Same story with Amazon Prime Video. We had a few wonderfu

In the early 2000s Perl was godsend. A dynamic language that helped solve a lot of problems very quickly. But as soon as projects got larger and/or others joined your codebase you realized it does not scale. For me that was the moment

Thank you very much for the recommendation. I am in the process of building knowledge base bots, and am confronted with the task of creating various crawlers for the different sources the company has. And this book comes in very handy.

Been writing Python code for over twenty years, and using it for personal and work projects, not mainly, but to suppport my work. Recently I ported some of my code to Go and was blown away: Cross compiler, creating binaries, concurrency don

I love AI in the right context, but the current trend of turning every otherwise solid product into an AI tool is diluting their core value at best, and damaging them at worst. Take Replit, for example. Today I only had my iPad with me and

Whenever a product tries to be too many things, it dilutes the core USP. Try to be an excellent code editor. Add extensibility. Done. I get it, you are VC funded, investors want to turn this into a multi billion dollar unicorn. Do not focus

Lazygit, WezTerm, NeoVim, Yazi (TUI file manager) are a fantastic combination! I have a tmuxniator config file for every project I work on. And open a tab in WezTerm, run „mx projectname“, it opens a split for Yazi, one for Lazygit, one for

It was an innovation project, with an endowment of 200k. The task was to implement an llm based bot platform in a company with 700+ coworkers. After demoing MVPs, got 40k and access to experts I never needed to use. Deployed open source AWS

This does not reflect my reality. I have worked on half a dozen projects where we would have hired consultants to get the job done but have used coding agents to document, understand, migrate a project, create backend services, dashboards,

Let‘s ban social media altogether. In twenty years from now we will have found out that social media is more harmful than tobacco and alcohol combined.

Like the idea! Wondering: Weren’t the early LLMs trained on data in Goodreads as well? I can upload and ask ChatGPT as well, and it will give me similar recommendations, no?

Wow, I did not know that some of my most loved apps in terminal are written in Rust: yazi, atuin, bottom, isn't fzf also written in Rust? And today I learned about some more I want to explore: csvlens, bandwhich, dua, material, oha. I

I was about to migrate a legacy system written in Python/ Flask to FastAPI and React (frontend). But the sentiments here seem to suggest that FastAPI is not the best solution if I need async? So go with Next.js?

Same here. Using lots of different tools. Many cli based. Yazi as file manager (TUI app), Houdahspot for searching fulltext plus preview, Hazel, and many more. Recently started migrating my pdf documents from devonthink to Obsidian.

What a beautiful app. Sorry to see it become abandonware soon. - Same happened to other apps like that. Years ago I used and loved Netmanage’s EccoPro as a personal information manager (PIM). It was an outliner, an address book, a database.

Too little, too late. After the Snowden revelations there were no reasons to use US tech, for any org outside of the USA. It was obvious that US state actors do not respect any non-US actor. We Europeans need to treat US IT companies just l

WezTerm is an absolute joy to use: Scriptable (in Lua), allows creating your own shortcuts, has a command palette, has something like tmux (called mux) for which I have created lua scripts to setup my workspace for different projects. Somet
