I think that's a bit silly to say. We don't know how the web would have evolved without these languages, but it's pretty evident that modern web development has had some sizable in…

I don't understand the websocket protocol issue. The connection is not the http(s) protocol beyond the upgrade - allowing the use of http or https here is misleading, no? Is using …

It's great for influencers and beginners because of the ability to copy and paste examples plus the hype. The moment you put a scenario where there is no boilerplate available on t…

Man, I love java Object script

Sounds like ripoff of starlink

Yes, if they require me to use a specific os, or install software to observe me, I won't take the job. Do you want me to build you awesome software? You need to let me use the tool…

I thought the game "I know you are, but what am I" was for kids. This hateful obsession with Elon Musk is inherently political, I didn't bring that to this discussion.

Yeah, of course. I'm interested in what is true, not retorical games meant to focus public resentment in order to capture political power.

So were Germany's industries when they lost the second world war after trying to exterminate the Jews. This is the fault of Hamas, just like what happened to Germans was the fault …

This is why I never use google products for anything mission critical. They cancel all sorts of projects, even when it's against their business interests (arguably). From the outsi…

I absolutely cannot wait for this to land. it's been a long time. it's going to make Rust much more approachable to new developers, and it's going to make the lives of existing Rus…

Reminds me of JS promises or Rust Futures

You all are cringe. Anyone working in tech knows that most marketing sites are made by third parties, likely some WordPress shop. The hatred for Elon on this site is ridiculous.

No sorry, as someone who has worked a lot of startups and helped build companies when they were counting pennies prior to the growth phase, the idea that they are entitled to any o…

In regards to a pay cut, I'm not moved by that argument. The pay at Twitter was already very competitive, and it seems very likely that people weren't doing a whole lot of work. As…

Absolute cringe. I'm not going to say I don't like these sorts of perks, but it shouldn't be considered a norm. If your team works nights to ship product, spends a lot of extra tim…

I agree not much has happened with the boring company or the hyperloop stuff, and i dont see them going anywhere yet either. But saying Tesla are a scam is unhinged. In a lot of ci…

I'm so tired of this conspiracy theory. It reaks polically motivated of partisan hatred. This is QAnon levels of stupid.

Thunderf00t jumped the shark years ago. He has a most erect hate boner for Elon I've ever seen. He was also saying for a long time that spacex would never succeed nor starlink. You…

I feel you on this, but I don't know if HN is the problem. This culture war has broke a lot of people's brains (regardless of what internet communities they're part of), to the poi…

They didn't leave, they were fired with cause.

The actual song always evoked the imagery of a AI becoming self-aware - as if the song was written from the perspective of such an AI. This cut is hard to listen too, it sounds lob…
