I am from Hamburg and I live about 6 minutes from the Stadtpark by foot. I walk my dog there pretty much every day and I am very grateful to live so close by. I spent two years liv…

I agree. I don't find the US competitors trustworthy either. I think open source is the way here.

I agree with the premise but have the feeling that it’s less about the money. People here in Germany use WhatsApp and Instagram and Gmail and MS Office and Windows not because ther…

My intuition is that this is not necessarily true, but probably often true in practice but perhaps someone more educated on the matter can speak on that. It must also depend on the…

Yup! That’s true and I wish it was different! In Germany there are quite a few schools which hand out locked down iPads to their students, with the expectation that they are used f…

I agree that that is probably the lowest stake solution. Alternatively there are solutions like the safe exam browser which locks down the device quite well during the exam session…

Sounds like you love unregulated free capitalism but correct me if I am wrong. If that’s the case I wonder if you would see things differently if said system strongly disadvantaged…

Hey HN! I am Kevin and together with my co-founder Steven I have built Intelligrade over the last 2 years. Steven is a teacher and he got sick of having to deal with outdated, over…

I have to agree here but I would like to add: every single web app I have ever had to build or was part of building was heavily biased and towards adding more features and exorbita…

I agree. I just argue that you would still want your app to handle those with as little data loss as possible and in a way that's understandable to the user.

Correct but the feedback is usually more immediate. Save a change to your issue and it fails - You will get an error toast and probably stay on the form. In the local first world y…

I love using linear and where applicable I try to use optimistic updates in the applications I build too and I think it's a good article that touches on the most important aspects …

> Too many people go to universities for a degree without checking if there is demand for these degree. I agree for certain fields such as your example but until recently software …

I bought into the end 2 end typesafety + everything is written in TypeScript hype and it did allow us to build a large portion of our application fairly quickly. Again, it's the 90…

For the past two years I have worked on a SaaS platform for the education space that we are about to launch (small 2 person start up) - it involves a lot of highly dynamic forms an…

I agree with the sentiment but I wonder if a sufficiently large amount of sufficiently sophisticated benchmarks existed then I would be surprised if a model would only memorize tho…

"entirely possible" is a bit of a stretch. You can install some hacky WM and sketchybar but system settings, workspace three finger scroll speed, the finder app, window chrome, log…

Is there a good reason browsers could and or should not support ts out of the box? I think even node does to some extend. Anyway another thing that kept bugging me when reading thi…

I would say you are both right in that if you have two competing variables (on-time for the defence vs calorie consumption), when the main causes of death before procreating were i…

This was interesting. Had a 5 minute chat with the outsider from the dishonored series. Just a one sentence prompt and its phrasing was at least 60% there, but less cold and nicer …

My clients are. I do web dev for a living and I use these frameworks day in and day out. It’s not even that I dislike the dev ex on most of them and I’ve seen a lot of good code an…

I hate the state of affairs. That said my guess is what we „gained“ is tons of telemetry, tracking and the likes, engineers not needing to think about performance to get a feature …

So it is just the right wing neoliberal playbook then. Protect the rich and put everyone else against each other so we don’t focus on them. I want this to stop.

First off, the following is not meant to combative but I think this confuses me. If there was no cliff there was nothing to do administratively on that front, no new checking at al…

To me it appears as though the success of the right wing politics everywhere is that they made socioeconomically disadvantaged people identify other socioeconomically disadvantaged…
