A fun, new app to help you engage more with friends and family, yet maintain your secrets?

The humorlessness is really strong with this one. I caution you not to read the other comments further down lest you catch a hissy fit.

Chicken and egg problem. Look at all the attention and new sign-ups they've gotten with the HN announcement. How do you get up to the stage where it is not premature to announce without announcing? Lol

Honestly same can be said about a lot of frameworks. You will pry my vanilla JS debugged with print statements hand-coded in vi from these hands only when they're cold and dead.

That explains where ChatGpt is getting that from. I guess it is only as smart as the average coder.

Ill say. If I follow GPs life-hack for 30C I get 60F, which is significantly different from 86F. Some life-hack.

Seems like an acqui-hire would be the way to save face after the face plant of all that time and money spent on a flop. But what are they offering to justify a $1B price tag?

I was definitely alive at the time and remember no such moral panic. I remember how much more acceptable it was in the 80's and 90's, even in upper middle class families to have 'tv dinners' and I think even for a time i

There are, or at least at the time there were a lot of people whose meals come entirely from fast food. There wasnt a lot of awareness about how bad that could be and there had been a decades long trend towards replacing meals with microwav

No the root cause is that Americans continue to be indifferent to eating crap. As long as it is sweet or salty, packs a ton of calories and has some semblance of food in it, theres money to be made from it. It doesn't help that how muc

I had the same opinion as you about halfway through each of the books. I'd encourage you to read them again and this time try to read them to the end. With this series, perseverance is key.

I think you should take this down. It doesn't make you look good. So you think the coding challenge is beneath you and are offended you were not their first choice, don't do it then. Maybe you're an ace with job offers left a

You know there's an "edit" link right next to your comments right?

My 2 cents as someone with a related masters. Imo a masters is a quick way for someone without experience or no viable way to get that experience to quickly gain rough and dirty exposure in the hope that that will open doors to gaining sai

You're reading the term too literally. USCIS has set the terms for what it means and the same USCIS has determined that op meets the criteria regardless of what you think it should mean.

When a site is as entrenched in the culture as twitter/x is it usually takes a loooong time to die - craigslist, yahoo mail are still very much around. That said Id be curious to know what the numbers are. Elon seems to be experimentin

Im going to guess your politics are probably right of center. My experience is very different. I'm not very political and it used to be that I could mostly avoid politics. Now my feed seems to mostly full of right-wing trolls and relen

I think this could be more useful to most people as a prompt/RAG testing service rather than an llm testing service. If I ran a test and found out the llm I was using is 60% accurate on some topic what would I do with this knowledge -

Gp's point is about how there are many things worth learning even if you can't immediately see how they will be useful, and not about urgency or timing. Sure you can pick up a book and learn about b-trees if you have to but you mi

Yeah, it does have all the crypto bloatware, but it doesn't force it on you so all of that can just be ignored. I actually think Brave (and maybe Safari) is the least opinionated browser in terms of features it forces on you and it&#x2

This being HN, I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Brave. Brave is what Firefox was a few years ago (and what firefox claims to be but isn't) in terms of privacy and comes pre-loaded with an ad-blocker that uses the same lis

What are you offering apart from general sales/marketing experience? Do you have an idea for a business? Are you looking to meet someone technical who has a product idea or just a technical person period? If the former you could look i

We really need to ban attitudes like yours. Stop hn from going the way stackoverflow went. Because a question has been asked before and you know the answer doesnt mean it cant be asked and answered again in many different forms so to speak.

I second this. Op might be just 1 or 2 redesigns away from virality. It's a genuinely interesting and novel idea and I can see this becoming a thing, maybe with a sprinkling of a little magic fairy dust or luck. Also op is not exactly

Very well put. "They are interestingly often extremely well versed in their tool of choice." People who are, shall I say unwise, but very good at what they do is one of the most annoying things wrong with the world.
