The Atlantic had a good article on this and how it isn't the doom and gloom you lay out above: https://www.theatlantic.com/economy/archive/2025/11/mamdani-... As some of the replie…

What a ridiculous statement to make. No wonder the US is in the state it is in. Lets let the ignorant and uninformed decide on policy rather than the scientific community and exper…

Sure, I don't disagree with that at all. I'd love to see that happen. I was just pointing out that most of the industry is far worse than what I have seen with Roblox personally.

Eh, I dunno. My son plays a bunch of Roblox and has spent a net $10 for a few custom avatar mods. While there is certainly a pay to win aspect for some games within, there is also …

Totally agree. I enjoyed owning my S9+ and even though I was someone who used to root and ROM my older Android phones, I didn't really have any complaints about the Samsung "bloat"…

There are pretty decent pet insurance policies responsible pet owners could purchase and pay a monthly premium on. I've used it for my past two dogs and it has been painless and ea…

Same here. Then again, I'll never leave Firefox as long as Tree Style Tabs[1] continues to be supported as an extension. It's been a life-changer since I discovered it well over a …

Highly recommend CS61A. Can't say enough good things about it.

The correct interpretation is that relying on tools like MidJourney can be a liability for the exact reason that this can go any which way and the legality issue is rather gray. So…

I'm surprised at the number of people here complaining about venvs in Python. There are lots of warts when it comes to package management in Python, but the built-in venv support h…

Lol, I always find it funny when people pretend that Parag is some clueless "management type". I graduated the same year as him from the same school, and he is a ridiculously sharp…

CoVar | Durham, NC | https://covar.com/ | ONSITE CoVar is a small R&D company specializing in machine learning and software development for defense, healthcare, and manufacturing a…

The Triangle in NC has in fact turned into quite a tech hub. Lots of tech jobs and lots of employers with more opening shop every day. There are many large employers here like Appl…

Gotta love HN down voting this comment that gets to the crux of the problem in OP's original comment. Just goes to highlight the subconscious biases that a lot of predominantly Wes…

I don't believe the interactive REPL in VSCode is IPython. It is just a regular Python REPL from what I have seen. Some of the really nice advantages of the IPython REPL integratio…

You should really give Pycharm (free community edition works just fine) a shot. It has a bit of a steep learning curve getting set up, but it is everything you want both from an ID…

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I am not looking for a Notebook experience but rather for integration of the IPython REPL shell as the default shell in VSCode so all code is b…

Agreed. I have exactly the same workflow except I end up using Pycharm with the interactive IPython REPL that it integrates with and graduate code up into modules in PyCharm. I lik…

Thanks for sharing that perspective! It was helpful to get that POV. I agree that a requirement for long lived interpreters and a simpler UX to get up and running probably makes it…

I agree with everything you said above and that is exactly how we have always had things at my place of employment (work at a small ML/Algorithm/Software development shop). That be…

Excited about this and have been a big fan of iPython since when I started coding in Python well over a decade ago. Might be a little while for switching to v8 due to the minimum 3…

I believe that while cloth masks are not very effective at protecting you, they are a LOT better at reducing viral spread if you are the infected party. So it still can be quite ef…

Good to know. I knew Parag (the CEO) a bit from college (we both graduated the same year) and he was a very nice, humble and ridiculously sharp guy. Not at all surprised to see him…

The CEO has been with twitter for 10 years and been CTO and actively involved at top-level decisions for quite some time. This isn't some sudden decision pulled out of a hat. Not s…

This is such a weird take and makes me question if you've ever worked in a large company to begin with? I think ICs would much rather be part of a cohesive team with an engaged lea…
