In all fairness, that's a pretty common experience with any transition between dislike platforms. I'll never forget one Java developer who transitioned to JS frontend work (pre-typescript days). Try/catch everywhere . There&

IIRC, it wasn't even that it contracted one firm, it contracted many, and the individual contracts were managed separately. None of the systems were actually required to work with each other in letter, only in spirit. The major advanta

I've long preferred working for startups over big companies, but my equity has rarely been worth more than a day or two's salary equivalent. I know a few people who did well working for unicorns, but that isn't most startups,

I remember when universities wouldn't teach languages higher level than C/++ because "the languages changed too quickly and the 4 year degree would be obsolete by the time the students graduate". Instead, they focused pu

Alas, there does seem to be a strong tradition of that on HN. The car example is apropos, though instead it's more like "why do you own a car? I live in a hyper dense urban utopia and never drive anywhere!"

Search engines don't claim to provide answers. They search for documents that match a query and provide a list of documents it has roughly in order of relevance. If there's nothing answering what I was looking for, I might try aga

There's a library I use with extensive documentation- every method, parameter, event, configuration option conceivable is documented. Every so often I get lost in the docs trying to do something that actually isn't supported (the

Let it crash definitely wasn't meant to be a cover for poorly typed code. It's much more suitable as a replacement for adding try / catch everywhere and having to manually bubble exceptions.

You act like OP has never experienced dynamic type programming. They clearly said they "can't go back to" it, meaning they've experienced both, are aware of the trade-offs, and have decided they prefer static types. >

An elected official doing things you don't like isn't a reason to kill them. That way lies fascism and anarchotyrrany.

I don't disagree at all. There's way bigger fish to fry when it comes to maximizing network efficiency in websites. I'm just pointing out the rationale of OP since someone asked, and I've worked with people who've m

LCOE is entirely fictional unless looking at a dead plant. Anyone who claims to know what natural gas prices will be over the lifetime of a plant should be avoided at all costs. If you want numbers, search Google and find your preferred sou

Democrats and Republicans alike all agree that Clinton became much more conservative in his second term. Nobody acknowledges it because it paled in comparison to the circus that was his impeachment trial.

I suspect the steel man version of the argument is that AI is capable of producing images indistinguishable from child and revenge porn, so it must be regulated, and that means they need a way to reach into your zeros and ones to check. May
