It’s not required, we just don’t allow anything else because it would no longer be interesting at all. That’s the point. Same why we don’t watch grandmasters play computers; they lose. But humans vs humans is still a good watch.

I thought it would be 100%; everyone switched to AD after Novell. What are the 16.6% using is the interesting part?

Wonder what you ate at those times. That doesn’t sound like something that should happen.

Let’s take ‘a really big bank’ (you know who); I know tons of people there, with very high paying jobs, who do absolutely nothing that cannot be replaced by a few lines of Python. For many years. You don’t need wfh to automate all these peo

In mice. No one thinks it applies to humans when it’s promising medicine, so why would this mean anything? It is a question, not trying to say it’s not worth discussing! Wondering what exactly causes this effects in plant based meats as I n

I would and do. It’s a great conversation starter. I got projects and co founders out of it.

I really like Lua, but it is not so practical in my daily work. I have two strange loves from an earlier life; Lua and Prolog (actually Mercury), but not sure how to make living with either of them. I tried with Lua and made a game/app

Yep, this is incredibly obvious when you have a dog! And paying attention to it made me more relaxed.

I am testing it now a bit! I like that I can rearrange the menu items.

I am curious if it will help our builds; they are pretty slow, even to the point we have all kinds of tricks to speed them up. Thanks for trying to fix this upfront anyway.

When I travelled a lot, I just brought a pocket Linux machine with keyboard (first the Zaurus, then Pandora, then GDP Pocket 1) and that was all a lot more comfortable hauling along than my laptop. I didn't have to do stretches of prog

I had accounts frozen for no reason (even when I was abroad without any money and the bank saying they can only resolve it if I visit in person); just have multiple accounts, it is the only way. For me, luckily, it were all computer flagged

I don’t really think you can compare those though; robots are crap and easily beaten at most physical sports. I mean, as far as I can find, there is not even a bipedal robot that outruns humans (there is the cheetah robot but it has 4 legs

We are testing all our software on yugabyte now to see how well it works. The cockroach license makes it not a fit for us, so we decided to try Yuga. So far works very well for our workloads.

Depends on your choice of language and framework etc though? The js ecosystem is very break-y and, at least when I worked with it, so was the Ruby/RoR ecosystem. In .net or Java, far less so; we have almost 10 year old software which w

You are right; you have to relate to the problems to value your people more I find. I used to jump into code as cto and I lost good people because of it as they felt it was lack of trust (it was I think but I did not realise that back then)

by tluyben2 4y ago
Having been a cto for decades I can agree; the things that are part of the job that are not technical, are the parts I find boring and don’t like. I am good at them by now, but I don’t like doing them. They are needed and indeed not many pe

How self contradictory? Most people believed it worked and slowed down, but driving too fast never got you fined because it didn’t actually recognise your number plate. Unlike normal speed cams which were manual at the time.

I am not supposed to ask on HN but why the downvotes? It’s just an observation from the past (Over 20 years ago)?

Yeah, I know what you mean; I have that or more accurately had that but unfortunately I also discovered I really like beer and I like myself on beer. I am more creative and indeed social on it. I met all my clients and friends and girlfrien

I remember the police claiming they had this tech (license plate recognition) for average speed tracking while it did not work. It also didn’t work but was claimed to work for some toll roads. It helped as people slowed down and paid toll b

Well, so far it made me more healthy as I am trying to change it but it definitely is off from the real numbers as I did an actual vo2max at the clinic here.

by tluyben2 4y ago
I get that; a computer is a tool; it might be a love but mostly it’s a tool and it just has to work. That is really why I installed Linux in the first place back in the day but maybe things did reverse. I have a script which just makes any

Since the watchOS 9 update, I am the most unhealthy person ever. I saw on Reddit people have the same results but it really went mental; I walked into the local clinic for a vo2max as the watch keeps warning me; it (the watch) was 15 points

Depending on where you live, everyone. Large parts of Europe have that. And it doesn’t make a difference. Getting plastered is when you need to watch out because then it gets repetitive and boring.

Is that why they think that? It doesn’t seem that weird when I see these really awkward youngsters on yt, reddit and Twitter. But that cannot be the actual reason; it’s probably just their parents who say it’s cool.

No, because I am not connected to the grid. If I wanted to be, it’s a big hassle.
