Z would have made more sense as a pair of the Y combinator (and the next letter). X is jut plain boring because there's nothing theoritical behind it.

Novo is just worth $300B, it's nothing compared to the many trillions of dollars Greenland is worth. But I guess politicians are much cheaper than that.

Thanks, great advices, I will follow them. Yes, I'm through the trivial things that's why I feel that I've got stuck. Probably I spent too much time playing and not enough practicing. What you write makes a lot of sense, I kn

For me as a hobbyist it's so hard to know what to learn and even to know what level the teacher should be. I'm at 1200 in lichess, tried for example multiple ,,beginner friendly'' openings, like London / Kings India

You don't have to. I believe RoR has good and bad sides, but the multi-threaded debugging stories of _why_ there were timeout problems when the interpreter got a global interpreter lock and how SQLite driver got fixed translates to lot

I don't know USA, but in other parts of the world yellow and red are different colors. Just because 2 things are illegal they aren't the same, and it takes away all seriousness from the article for me.

It's a bit strange that SQLite went up only 1 place on the ranking (to the 10th). There's a lot of new articles of how to improve its performance and I love that I don't have to care about the n+1 problem so much. It is now t

Then just don't navigate to For You. I wish I could just see my friends on Facebook (those are the people I care about), but I can't turn off crappy suggestions. With X I can control my own feed by using the followers tab.

While political bias is undisputable, I prefer notes over deleting in general. I like to read dead/flagged posts sometimes hwre on HN to be able to see what the moderators flag, and generally they are doing amazing job: even if I don&#

LLMs are awesome but I haven't felt significant improvement since the original GP4 (only in speed). The reasoning models (o1 pro) don't have good reasoning capability when I'm asking things from them, so I don't expect o

BYD is continuing what Tesla started: getting cheaper while scaling up battery and car production. The market is there for worse and much cheaper electric cars, just not mainly in US.

I think airports are great reflections of culture of a country, because that's the first thing a visitor from another country sees, but I had other experiences in USA, where I felt that some of the reataurants just shouldn't be al

It's not the only last minute thing the administration does that it could have done before: - Launched rockets from Ukraine - remote work contracts extended to 2029 after Elon + Vivek wants people to RTO - TikTok ban And the classic an

So many decisions are being made during the transition that could have been made before the election. Is this normal / good for the countries in general? Regarding TikTok I agree that it's a national security problem for USA in it

Of course it's clear: AGI is achieved when a machine can completely capable of simulating a human being. At that point remote / office work is 100% over.

Everybody who has worked on a large/huge code base knows that most of it is there for historical reasons: it's always safer to add a new feature than to replace something old, as most of the time people don't know if that old

,,I am not producing the software to the highest standards of the industry since we don't have any rigorous cross-checking'' Standards can slow you down, which is fine in a big tech company, but probably not good for building

While it's true, SpaceX will raise money by making Starlink (the less important / easier business) public and keep SpaceX (the real business that makes it possible that Starlink depends on) private.

It's because implementing this is not that easy: there are differences between the implementation of coroutines and await that makes it tricky (especially waiting for both CPU tasks and network events). For Python I loved this talk by

Electrec itself got corrupted a few years ago. It was far the best web page for news about electric vehicles going into details, but it was probably bought and now it's just ragebait.
