"There’s no real dignity in working to make a living." FTFY /s But seriously, while I think humans will always find some meaning in work, there will come a day when that work is no longer required. Or at the very least, work

Wow, so plainly evil it's crazy.

I have a similar feeling. I keep up to date on changes to these other frameworks but in my work we've never run into React performance issues that couldn't be fixed by approaching things with good principals. Signals are brought u

It seems Amazon cares more about polluting search results in Kindle than polluting the search results in their own e-commerce business. I think low-effort books generated by AI are much less detrimental than sketchy physical products being

Very cool! I've never used Godot myself but I sometimes watch livestreams of game devs and godot has always seemed like a great engine and editor to use.

Love it. To me this is a playful way to use sound. It’s loud, bright, flashy, interactive.

I've definitely experienced this with colgate toothpaste and sure enough it's on this list!

Yeah this is it. I want to have full knowledge over who has my data and for what purpose. I think we'll get there eventually but it'll take a while.

What’s the evidence saying pay will revert back? I doubt it personally.

It's kind of funny at this point, I hear about Astro and I'm just about to try it out and then this comes along claiming huge speed increases. Web frameworks move so fast it's really worth just sitting out a few rounds of fra

I think it will just more people into existing engines like Unreal and Godot.

I'm pretty deep in the Typescript world these days but hey, maybe one day I'll make my way back into Python!

I don't use Python or Django anymore but I'm always happy to hear about it and kinda surprised to learn it's still being chosen today for massive-scale social media sites. To me, Django was my go-to for cranking out a usable

After an hour or so I got pretty used to it. The "Home" view is almost identical to how the whole app used to be. The other views just give different ways to view DMs, messages marked for later, etc.

Yeah while this sale further tainted the little trust I had in Google, I'm not worrying about migrating quite yet. Squarespace does what they do very well, and I suspect they'll absorb this business of Google's seamlessly. No

At my job we recently implemented OpenAPI and it's been painful hearing people call it OpenAI on zoom calls but it makes sense, they're so darn close.

Have you looked into how ineffective planting trees will be when it comes to carbon capture? I don’t remember the exact numbers but some insane number of trees planted and grown would barely make a dent in the average temps. I learned this

My favorite part of this is we won’t see flexport hiring as spam on HN for a while :)

Assuming the grand parent comment is true to their word and they don’t mean it disparagingly, I think we can easily see what they mean. After a quick glance here’s what’s being offered in this program: - 1 year free of apple dev program (la

Yep, I live in Nevada. I also live in a part of my city that has a lot of trees and water, and it makes it bearable in the summer to ride or walk around

Sounds like a chicken or the egg issue to me. Why are the bike paths unmaintained? Because they aren't used as often as in a country like the Netherlands. But how can we increase biking in Norway if the roads are unmaintained? The only

> Outside of Oslo the infrastructure is built with car reliance deincentivizing cars and incentivizing walking and bikes won’t make much difference. To me this reads like "Cars have won, give up on walking and biking in your cities.

by willio58 3y ago
It's a myth that people can't ride bikes in cities that experience exceptionally hot or cold weather. They can, and do, it's just that the cities need to fund infrastructure to make those things more comfortable and enticing.

Agreed. You can almost hear the hotel owners cackling and diving into their pools of cash after this crackdown started.

This is it. I’ve actually found it’s down to the discipline, like our tech team is fully remote and that works super well even though the sales team is in-office. Not only is our tech team fully remote, we’re spread out in the US so there’s

Yeah it’s plain silly. As a remote worker for going on 3 years, I can’t ever see myself going back to a commute. You could double my salary and I wouldn’t do it..

Alcohol in general is one of those things that is obvious detrimental to health. People posit the benefits and then eventually are disproven time and time again. It’s like anything harmful, take it in moderation or not at all for a healthy

The smart investors will invest in solar farms. The greedy investors will invest in newer less effective tech. On the whole, I think it’s okay that not every investor picks one way to harness solar power.

For car based nav I stay on Google. For transit, I’ve found Apple is the way to go. I’m sure it depends on the location though

Great example. One way to avoid these problems is having lots of tests written for the various uses of the abstracted thing so you know they’re all covered. But also, if all of these things function in different nuanced ways, is it really a
