Sure, but it's an actual computer I am holding and can use, whereas we are soon to have cloud personal computing.

I'm fairly confident mine doesn't. There'd be 0 benefit to using an LLM for something we've had near perfect tooling around for decades. LSPs vs LLM Autocomplete are a different st…

Wouldn't constantly loading new items into a select form be super annoying? Can HTML even keep a select input open when new items are added?

Am I the only one that exclusively gets attacks with spoofed user agents and rotating TLS signatures? I feel like every post I see about not needing a CDN has tips that could be ov…

I just don't see how policy makers, media, or the average person would find any utility in calling something "open source" over "free." Maybe an actual legal bill will. But in ever…

Yeah prediction models and many parentheses are probably not a good combination, but we're not talking about anything exceptionally complicated here. I have had syntax issues in Py…

I'm not lamenting that they aren't close, I'm saying Qwen will frequently output code that isn't even syntactically correct, even when the syntax is simple. Which makes it unusable…

HN is closer to Reddit than you think, there's just a little more ceremony to it.

I tried Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, but it couldn't generate a 50-100 line Clojure file without having broken parens mismatches. I know Clojure isn't super popular, but the syntax is pretty s…

Could you go in depth on what you mean by Python being like Lisp? This is no the first time I've heard this but I don't understand it. Is it just because it's easy to substitute co…

> Your resolvers take in an id and return an id.. That sets off a bunch of alarm bells for me. I wouldn't ever do that. There is no good reason to have that, even if the values are…

On local it's customer, but I renamed it Company for you and forgot to rename it on the bridge. I will call it Customer below. When I say cached result I misspoke, I mean Pathom, r…

This is an interesting way to tackle it, but in my scenario, the company id is data from the users table. So without fetching the user first, you don't know what their company ID i…

No, even the most cynical pop music is going to carry more emotional resonance with the average person, because art is a social contract between the Creator and audience. Even if y…

I have read hundreds of comments on this site alone saying you need to become a prompt engineer now, regardless of your profession, or be left behind. There are a lot of companies …

> Typically you write resolvers with only one level of joins/nesting and then let the query engine do the rest. so e.g. instead of writing a resolver that returns something like `{…

My experience with Pathom, and other graph query libraries, is it feels like a deliberately confusing way to reason about a program. I'd like to know your thoughts on it. From what…

These are AI models designed to be non deterministic. If upgrading from GPT 5.5 > 5.6 breaks your entire workflow, you shouldn't be using AI to begin with
