Yeah nah maybe fix the bugs before swapping the average COBOL dev for the average Java dev.

Plus most people that use Dvorak probably don't give a shit at this point because they've been touch typing on qwerty or blank keyboards for their whole life. I'm not sure it'd eve…

You can't use the words "reasonable debate" in your post after you've immediately jumped straight to some mythical worst case scenario of a 5 year old being given a device with no …

> It's pretty clear by now that coding productivity increases by 10-15% with AI. Completely offtopic for this thread but I can't be the only one that would find this hilarious if i…

Why do you think I'm like the people destroying the Internet? Because I said a bad word? Are you actually retarded? I'd love to return to the Internet we had in the 90s and 2000s, …

Destroying freedom isn't a fucking compromise. If algorithmic feeds are as bad as say, heroin, then the correct response is to regulate or ban them. You're arguing for the Internet…

It's "I did the first/easy 90% now someone else do the second/hard 90%". Same as it ever was.

You can't have freedom if a few people have a microphone that reaches hundreds of millions of people have zero responsibilities for how they use that microphone. If you actually ha…

Wtf? I can't really tell how you'd even use this. Is it supposed to be some sort of micro-optimisation thing to do with how HTML is parsed (now you can download chunks out of order…

Well, if it's any indication, my sister, who is very much not a tech person, randomly asked me to help her install Linux Mint a month ago, and has been using it successfully since …

It's been legal in Australia since 2018 and frustratingly nobody seems to give a shit except for yanks trying to point out any government's injustices other than their own.

I'm not talking about ditching type safety. I'm saying the whole concept of "safe" and "unsafe" as most people on HN understand it is flawed. The interesting part of a type system …

I really dislike parsing not validating as general advice. IMO this is the true differentiator of type systems that most people should be familiar with instead of "dynamic vs stati…

I'm guessing it's aimed at game development since Vulkan has a similar pattern in every function call (although optional, the driver does it's own allocation if you pass null).

There's a few comments speculating about fraud, but they're way off on the timeframe. I was approached about this project like 7-8 years ago. It's probably been in development the …

This is what I'm doing for my game, I didn't know it was actually a thing in some big titles too, that's reassuring. I landed on it because it was a huge code simplification compar…

Yeah, there was an entire season about ending the war on drugs and how it was the only thing that actually worked lol. Also, they caught the drug kingpin at the end of the show by …

I might be reading parts of it wrong, but I think that's a different sort of thing to the research in the article. Sugar is a very indirect cause of heart attacks, everyone knows t…

The thread before with someone flogging off their educational book they wrote "with Claude in an afternoon", as if anyone would benefit from investing days or weeks of learning eff…

I wish. As far as I can tell the Venn diagram of people building piles of shit with NPM and people building piles of shit with LLMs seems pretty close to a circle.
