I agree with you on MsBuild being powerful. I often really hate certain technologies like MsBuild and use them begrudgingly for years, fighting with the tooling, right up until I decide once and for all to give it enough of my attention to

Plenty of substance in there for me. I’ve been building with dotnet since it existed and still learned a couple of new techniques/ideas from this article.

The article does mention they only turn on “TreatWarningAsErrors” in production builds. It’s definitely a tough balance to strike. I go back and forth on this myself. Maybe the happy medium is to have everything strictly enforced in CI, rel

This is very interesting - I like the way you’ve explained this. The parallel with “intentionally working out to maintain physical strength” is extremely helpful as an analogy to communicate this concept. That’s exactly what we might be fac

I would disagree that their previous TellHN has much structurally in common with the pattern they’re describing here.

Your comment history seems peppered with similar low-effort comments about Europe. As a European, I have some strong opinions about the state of your country at the moment. Opinions shared by quite a large proportion of your own populatio

Hacker News at its best. There has to be a vanishingly small number of places on the internet where someone could post a question like this and immediately receive a flood of thoughtful, earnest and substantive responses. So for all its f

As a heavy Claude user, I’ve seen many examples of what it will produce as a README, and they all look exactly like this. It definitely could use some editing!

Copyright is the thing that allows software companies to sell their products and make money. It’s not just about “knowledge”. I sometimes wonder if people commenting on this topic on HN really understand how fundamental copyright as a conce

I like this approach. I’d get too caught up in the perfectionism trap of trying to capture perfect images and would never actually reach the point of publishing anything! The website is very nicely done!

Good point about it coming too late. I grew up using Windows pre-powershell and then had switched to Macs by the time Powershell got a lot of improvements and became a lot more worthy of attention!

FWIW My handwriting (and the experience of writing) improved quite a bit when I switched to fountain pens. I always used to find writing a bit uncomfortable physically, and difficult mentally (due to ADHD) but fountain pens improved the exp

Reading this comment about the previous quote made me finally realize why the name centigrade exists.

I have a simultaneous respect for the power and capabilities of PowerShell while also for some reason harbouring a very strong loathing of it. I just viscerally dislike it. Maybe it’s the syntax… or perhaps just some latent decades-old Wi

This would be a lot better if they cited their sources. As it stands it’s interesting but a bit too easy to dismiss as SEO fodder.

Very interesting, thanks for elaborating!

This is very interesting. I’m aware of Anki/flash cards for helping with learning specific topics, but this more general usage that you’re describing is extremely intriguing! I’m inspired to add something like this to my workflow. I’

Can you elaborate more on this? I couldn’t quite understand whether you used these candles to “anchor” yourself to different times of day, or if you were just using them as kind of cumulative timers?

> i assumed wrong that you added the "d" dang seems to be saying that he did add the “d” though? FWIW I would have preferred it to be just left as “uses” per the article title.

As a fellow Brit I’ve always been puzzled by this too. The DVLA website and online processes are very good. Which is rare to say about a government IT system. I don’t think I’ve ever had any problems for a decade (or two?) dealing with ev

For clarity, I don’t think the UK is involved in this at all. This seems to be a fine issued in the Republic of Ireland which is not part of the UK (but, unlike the UK, is still part of the EU).

You’re 100% right. That essay is superb and I’m glad I read it! Thanks for sharing the link.
