But it really was a once in a lifetime experimental device. The aesthetics were a little whack, in an endearing sort of way.

Man I really loved MeeGo, I was in my early teens when I got the N9 specifically because it was such a beautiful experiment from Nokia. Amoled display, MeeGo os and the polycarbonate shell. The phone was hot garbage technically, would over

A developers job has always been reviewing and understanding code. Code is literally always the last resort. Unless you're building solutions for other customer, most companies should attempt to minimise the amount of code they have. B

I don't think we should actively stop people from discussing what's on their minds. Every person has their own lived experiences, I think it should be common courtesy to at least give someone who puts in the effort into writing a,

It may be a coincidence but there has been an increase in thinly veiled humor in HN comments.

You've basically described Flutter and Jetpack compose(for desktop). The problem really does turn into effort to pay off, even if we stayed with JS and the rendering engine, figured out a way to compile JS into native code and complete

Gemini 1.5 Announced the 1 million token context window in 2024. I admire this view of being forward looking towards new technologies, specially when we see the history of how bad people can be at predictions just by looking at history HN p

Aaah you've got me excited and thinking about all sorts of ways this can fix the issue. I really appreciate your time for answering my questions, it's all very interesting. Can't PgDog pull in the query planning and execution

That's was my second question, how on earth can you replicate real world Postgres workloads that benefit the most from sharing. Are there some specific standard Postgres test suites you run PgDog through to ensure it's compliant w

Idk about the grammatical correctness of the punctuation, but I really enjoyed reading his writing. Never read something by him before, it was genuinely refreshing, specially given it was a glorified ad.

Can you elaborate a bit more on the challenges faced in making Postgres shard-able? I remember that adding sharing to Postgres natively was an uphill battle. There were a few companies who has proprietary solutions for it. What you've

idk man it's rare to fight the compiler once you've used Rust for long enough unless you're doing something that's the slightest bit complex with async. You get to good at schmoozing the compiler you start to create actu

Can someone provide a true engineers perspective on the ADCs' on ESP SoC's? I've heard a lot about people trashing it and most experienced engineers admit that it's finicky however if you have the knowledge you can make

Interesting, I was a mildly heavy cannabis user in my very early teens but stopped short right before starting my junior year of high school. My use was mostly motivated by teen angst and peer pressure, I never really enjoyed it I always fe

That reduces the quality of the response though.

The best example for this are iot devices that share their data. Instead of reinventing the wheel for a dashboard for each customer just give them some docs and restricted access via a replica.

Aaaaaah I had a professor rave about Crystal Reports once. Didn't know it had such gilded history.

It would be a game changer, very interesting to see this grow. How did you get your PDF generation so good?

by written-beyond 8mo ago
That's exactly what I meant. It's a specific replica instance with it's own security etc. but not necessarily a separate API you try to integrate too. APIs can stay for writes, but for reads you have the db

This is really nice, specially the pdf report generation. I feel very moronic making a dashboard for any products now. Enterprise customers prefer you integrate into their ERPs anyway. I think we lost the plot as an industry, I've alwa

Man you really nostalgia pilled me. It's lovely and a work of art. What's the deal with the audio delay showing up for button taps until the icons have loaded?

Never thought of it that way, very interesting insight. I always thought those "K circle back" emails were fake but nope looks like they're very real.

Is this the gnu version of systemd? edit: I know it's not a monolith like systemd but service/unit files are a core component of systemd

I can bet that a single standard instance of existing tool like codex and Claude Code to do whatever someone with a convoluted setup like that can. It could be marginally slower if you but it's all literally just English language text

"Learn AI tooling" What is there to learn, honestly? People act like it's learning to write a Linux driver. The maximum knowledge you need how to write a plan or text file. Maybe throw in a "Plz no mistakes" There&#

THAT'S INSANE! I always wondered if this could be possible. Like you fuzz a program, map out each possible allocation and deallocation and optimize the code with those hot paths and some statistics. Very interesting project, would love

I want to thank you dear poster and author, I feel genuinely refreshed reading a short interesting post sans status quo topic. Waiting for the next part!

You need to understand the frustration behind these kinds of posts. The people on the start of the curve are the ones who swear against LLMs for engineering, and are the loudest in the comments. The people on the end of the curve are the on
