Well even if I want to find someone local, doesn’t mean I can just walk outside and find them, especially since the pandemic shut down most events in the Bay Area. Dating apps seem pretty popular and I think vast majority of people on those

I briefly floated a profile on there, though I decided to take a new full time job and focus on that for a while instead. While on the platform, I was flooded with non technical people who didn’t have much besides an idea and an MBA. I gues

The author talks about linking it to human sacrifice, which is definitely an angle worth considering. But there are some others- 1. Immediacy is one of the ten principles of burning man, and burning the art when finished forces people to ap

Yet YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, Robinhood, DoorDash, and Lyft backend were originally primarily written in Python. What’s funny is that nobody can really deny Python is slow yet somehow the biggest websites in the world were writ

I strongly agree with you. Reminds me of something I read that claimed when drum machines came out, the music industry thought it was the end of drummers. Until people realized that drummers tended to be the best people at programming cool

It’s closer to a web version of pio solver. Equity and range evaluators got a lot less useful because people figured how to make software that solves the full (simplified) game tree. This is a superior approach to anything other than all-in

UML is closely associated with Object Oriented programming. In the 2000s, OO programming was all the rage, and having a mental notebook of “design patterns” was considered the hallmark of a real software engineer. Since then, OO has lost a

Really nice article and demos, very informative. Maybe unsurprisingly, noise is a really important aspect of audio and music as well. A lot of synthesizers have a parameter for adding white or pink noise to sounds. What's interesting i

No, totally wrong, it’s the exact opposite. Novices and only novices think “you can’t beat bad players cause they’re unpredictable!” Even your more moderate point you’d rather not have them in the game is totally wrong. In reality, every pr

Vendor lock-in depends heavily on exactly what vendor you’re using and especially if it’s OSS API hosted on the vendor or a vendor API. If you use something like AppEngine to run a Flask or Django app, you will not be locked in much because

Competing with Twitch is not realistic and I’m surprised you think it’s bad. Facebook and Microsoft have both spent huge sums of money trying to and failed. And both those companies have deep engineering talent which GameStop does not and i

Yes I’m very interested in edm production and working on some side projects in the space! Have tried producing a bit of everything (DnB, bass music etc) but might focus more on house/techno since it can be easier plus DJs will find it

But there is no "standard one"...reaffirming the point that you disagreed with. C++ standard library is blatantly missing key pieces given how long the language been around.

Thanks so much for this amazing guide! I had a side project that I was desperate to get across a finish line, and I rarely do any CSS at a day job, so I hired a freelancer just to help me get a few CSS issues fixed. One of the things he did

I agree with most of what the author wrote. I also don’t like how I can follow something who has good thoughts on Python but get their thoughts on politics. Then Twitter turned “like” into “maybe retweet” (you see what people you follow lik

I used to think cryptocurrency was a solution in search of a problem, but the Robinhood fiasco has made me think otherwise. I find their clearing house explanation woefully insufficient in details, and open to the possiblity of being techni

They are a top ten site on the internet. I don't see why Twitter is 45 B market cap but Reddit should be so hopeless, especially when their subreddit model lends itself much more clearly to ads than the "stream of conscious"

It was partially noted in past threads, and partially missed, but this 20 year old didn't actually lose the money he thought he lost. It was basically a "leaky abstraction" of the backend that bubbled up. Their total lack of

Disagree, they are hiding the fact by assuming ignorance of most users. A true “link” , would use something like OAuth to have the bank handle authentication and provide explicitly scoped subset of consumer data to Plaid. Instead they are t

It's not just managing the complexities of managing the bare metal, although that's certainly a huge component of it. There's some other huge arguments against running your own datacenters. One is being able to properly provi

It's a little ironic that this is on "hacker" news since I think that the original "hacker" ethos wasn't that you built things just to impress recruiters. If your goal is career advancement, then it is fair to

Its not too complicated, you just need a headless browser. Having done a ton of web scraping projects, I’d recommend just starting with this approach as even sites that look pretty static use Javascript in subtle ways.

MUDs are what got me into programming. I was obsessed with them as a kid, although they were associated with DnD which was considered satanic so I had to hide them from my parents and teachers, who both forbid me from associating with DnD o

Really cool idea! I'm working on a project that could really, really use 4 weeks of focused effort, and I think that's enough time to accomplish a lot but short enough it doesn't feel overwhelming to zone in on it for that lo

Snapchat runs on App Engine (and other stuff runs on App Engine too) so App Engine is almost certainly bigger than Slack just based on that.
