So none of the HN operators care about the first female Fields medalist? I don't buy this argument. The bar should have been there. It was a mistake to not put it up. And on that n…

Likewise. A Fields medalist deserves better. In fact, the first female Fields medalist.

Time to learn how digital signatures work.

Much of complex analysis and linear algebra I think is beautiful and can be easily made accessible to the general layman.

The YC network effect is the secret sauce. Most YC companies would not even be able to bootstrap if it wasn't for YC alums like AirBnB.

If the problem you are solving doesn't map to being embarrassingly parallel then you will indeed have problems. This is not restricted to just "real-time", or more technically stre…

Doesn't this already exist as WordPress themes?

You have to vendor. There is no other way. Or you pay the cost of vendoring at deploy time by having to pull in all the third party dependencies anyway. Whenever I rely on the end …

Maybe we are getting better at programming but we still suck at delivering computing artifacts to end users. Who here has tried to ship a Ruby or Python application to desktop or e…

Trouble with anecdotes is that it is not data. I'm happy for your brother but that still doesn't change the fact that most bootcamps are overpromising and underdelivering on their …

Good. The idea and intention behind bootcamps is a good one but the current implementation is suspiciously like university of phoenix.

Kinda misses the point of unikernels. The hypervisor already does all the necessary scheduling. You don't need another scheduler.

Let me break it down for you with all the necessary substitutions > (idiomatic) To raise a false alarm; to constantly warn others about an imagined threat, thereby failing to get a…

Guess you lack the level of abstraction capabilities I expect. Sure. The parable is just about lies and not signals and noises. All Linus rants are full of information. He is a bri…

Words have meaning? ffs. Was there a shitpost memo sent out I didn't get. thx cpt obvious

The parable of the boy crying wolf is not about lies but about desensitizing your audience to what you are saying. I've read enough of the rants to know there is very little signal…

Google Linus rant. There are many examples.

Linus has cried wolf too many times. His outbursts about garbage patches are no longer believable.

I find the juxtaposition of productive and capitalism odd. The entire point of capitalism is to slush money around. That is the definition of productivity in capitalism but somehow…

I find it hilarious how the limited supply of these engineers is forcing these companies into ping pong hiring.

As noted by others the annotations would be active checks. More like proofs in coq than static text. That way you'd be building up a logical understanding of the code base that was…
