I have used SQLite file as the application itself. Almost. The tables would store the application features, UIs and logic. A generic kernel would bring up the application from the database.

The actual coding work in most non-tech big companies, is considered a low-level or dirty work and is delegated to the contractors or junior developers, who just can't bother anyone to get the information. As a result, bad code happens

I don't know how to feel about this. Is the only purpose of the comments here is to train some commercial model? I have a feeling that, this might affect my involvement here going forward.

If they switched to carbon emission in a significant way, it must be an evolutionary response to some trigger. How does this response help forests? Does it increase production of leaf or seeds to compensate for logging? What chemical proces

Funny. Infact, the blockchain smart contract (DAPPs) tried this before, by fully automating (they call it democratizing) the decisions. Not sure how it went.

Just completed 7 years on HN. This is the only social network I'm active on (if you don't count whatsapp). Awesome folks and amazing discussions!!

Infact, the opposite is true. There is tech inflation. Coding will get easier, but that doesn't mean tech is getting easier. It will only get more complex and will drive more segregation. Tech is dividing the society and driving a wedg

What problems are left for starting a business? I see only solutions searching for problems. Maybe come up with a competing solution to an already solved problem? As a technology startup your root goal would be an exit. So you would work on

The song goes that way because Paris is attractive to young men compared to the American farms. But being attractive may not mean good. Candy is attractive too, to children. And that hard work in farms doesn't necessarily mean being le

Also, constraints, survival struggle, a bit of wilderness (lack of regulatory reach), forced alertness, exposure to vast variety in the context - they are all ingredients or a green field for innovation. It's like a camping or trekking

Freedom as in randomness that was allowed and available in those settings and in those times. I grew up on a farm in the 70's. Observed how mills work. I could simulate and notice a gear error in a complex machine drawing in my enginee

The overall journey matters. For example, for some flight journeys, the flight-time is only a fraction of the overall time taken by the journey, which could makes it faster if you use road or rail transport. Flight speed doesn't matter

Growing up on a farm with access to minimal technology provides a perfect setting for producing finest minds. It provides beautiful challenges, minimal resources and full of freedom. And the reward (or punishment) would be to move to city l

Some algorithms such as binary search give an incorrect view of the overall cost. The search has a prerequisite of sorting. So, the assumption is, the data is sorted once, and searched several times, making the sorting cost insignificant. W

What has changed now? I still upload my static web content to my ~/public_html folder on live website, using sftp. Anything wrong with that? Why people coming up with this kind of news? The other day someone was saying scripting the HT

A lot of people who think AI is being used heavily, are coders. It's like a blacksmith making a hammer for himself and thinking that everyone is using the hammer everyday all the time. Let's check agentic AI. Which agents do peopl

There is something called hype curve that doesn't always go up.

I'm aware that I'm ignorant of many things, just like anyone else on this Earth. Some are less ignorant and some are more. Could you be kind enough to explain the phrase "set of all integers" when the word all can no

This is so true.

Yep. Take it with some salt. Unfortunately, the quality of research is struck by sales pitch and hype mongering.

But they should also look at the other side of the story. How many new problems will be created by that requires new jobs and investment. Most likely it's migration of jobs from one kind of work to other kind of work.

How is the link with earth maintained at this distance? Is it really a powerful transmitter that sends signals without attenuation?

I agree that you are an agent capable of having an intention, but that capability needs inputs from outside. Your knowledge and reasoning doesn't entirely reside inside you. Having ability of intention is like a car engine, waiting for

There must be some interaction with the host involved. Otherwise there is no point in being hosted or stripping off own features.

Being a large city should no longer be seen as a positive attribute. It just looks like a bigger wound in the middle of a forest and natural terrain. Packing millions of people into a vast paved area does no good. It socks all life from cou

Capacity for intention and will were already driven by augmentations that were knowledge and reasoning. Knowledge was sourced externally and reasoning was developed from externally recorded memory of past. Even the instincts get updated by
