I feel like this is a good spot to mention that Dmitry's a friggin beast when it comes to engineering. As that Tweetster put it: "Dmitry is an insanely skilled dude. Easily on par …

Someone's gotta get the word out, I'm seriously sick of all these ridiculous LARPers trying to magic Rust into existence Rust is a joke, it's a complete waste of time and effort to…

just using it to dynamically run a multi-monitor battlestation at the local cafe for now

OneDrive and the local Microsoft photos app have been doing it for a decade already.

Holy shit, that thing is amazing compared to the computers I had access to in the early 90s

Yeah, that's what they're doing to the AI: Mutilating chunks of its brain so it can't function

Personally I'd rather be able to game on my beefy iPhone 15 with a clip-on gamepad than have to lug around a slow, loud, gigantic Steam Deck or a laughably primitive Switch

Their support raises issues directly to the dev teams when they happen often enough, too. There's a good chance the touch screen team is working their asses off right now on this a…

Ah yes, many fond memories of my dog dumfyg-gycpid-8Vujmi

I'd guess they didn't market it well enough A palm pilot could do most of what people love iPhones for, but the only people who used them were business freaks and super-nerds

Software is the easiest thing in the world to outsource. There's no reason we can't play Chinese-made games or use Indian-made chat apps Market forces (more demand than supply) are…

Alex St. John's blog was like that for Microsoft in the 90s, but unfortunately he took it down after a bunch of internet Marxists got mad at him for encouraging entrepreneurs to wo…

Pretty wild.. what's the point in even making them go to school if you're just going to let them goof off on their phone all day? Just let them sit around at home watching TikTok u…

All the subs I followed are a shadow of their former selves.. there's still some half-assed content posted, but it's not worth bothering to try and keep up any more I was on a bunc…

I'm not saying it's good for games, but the iPhone's GPU blows a big ugly Switch or Steam Deck out of the water I really wish the gaming space on phones weren't such a radioactive …

hmm, I could never see any open parking spots either.. it's weird too, that place is packed even in off-peak times I'll admit the burgers are a lot better than McDonald's, although…

In n Out always has a 30+ minute line when I try to go there.. quicker to buy ingredients at a grocery store, go home, cook burgers myself, then clean up

I don't think it's remotely feasible, but imagine how rich you could get by synthesizing viagra

Is it weird if I carry a phone with this and a solar charger around at all times, in case I suddenly get hurled back in time?

Yeah man, I know this is another HackerNews "Why not simply.." but it feels like he really did have a golden opportunity to hijack Reddit I'd much rather post on an open version of…

You're going into a bad, boring place for 8 hours a day. You're pissing away your precious time on earth while lying to yourself that it's a "balance" and you're happy about it.

I think you need to go touch grass, or at least check out some real numbers and think about them https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer/locations/berlin-... https://www.levels.…

You aren't sitting on a beach playing guitar with your friends if you get a tech job in Germany, you're doing the same boring pain-in-the-ass dead-end work either way. Just with le…

I'd rather work one year at Amazon than 5 years at a nice European country in a walkable city, and that's how the numbers pan out if you're saving for retirement
