I don’t care about HN the same way I care about my development platform. If I want to show someone my life’s work I don’t send then to HackerNews.

Just an fyi, when I try to sign in with google for your app I get the message: "The app is requesting access to sensitive info in your Google Account. Until the developer (*reka*kc…

Okay this is kinda random and maybe off topic but can someone please explain? When I tell an LLM to count to 10 with a 2 second pause between each count all it does is generate Pyt…

This thread reads like sour grapes to me. When people can’t compete but instead start throwing unfounded allegations is not a good look. Even OpenAI itself hasn’t resorted to these…

Does anyone know what CMS this website uses?

> week, they would be artists, parents, lovers, researchers And who would 1. Pave your roads 2. Keep you safe 3. Care for you when you’re old 4. Keep the electric grid running 5. E…

There are two reasons I can think of: 1. The most popular front-end frameworks (e.g. React and Angular) are created by large orgs which naturally leads to extensive codebases as th…

Tangential: check out FreshRSS ( https://www.freshrss.org/ ), a self-hosted RSS reader.

Well, many open source developers are quite content with making their software freely accessible without expectation of monetary gain. In fact some are strongly opposed to it (see …

Honest question: how valuable is the current mode of testing (based rote memorization) if much of that can be done by AI anyway? Maybe it’s time for new testing methodologies?

All great points. To add: As someone who's worked blue collar jobs, it is all too common for unions to protect assholes from getting fired. This leads to a hostile work environment…

At what percentage of knowledge are you ready to use the language professionally?

I'd like to think that the "killer app" for the fediverse isn't going to be Mastodon or the other current alternatives but the ActivityPub protocol or something akin to it. Whereas…

And yet WhatsApp had 55 employees at acquisition. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/whatsapp-bought-for-19-b...

I’m willing to bet a pretty penny that the next big social media will be built on the fediverse. > Glad Mastadon is doing its thing being like the IRC of twitter or whatever, but t…

Not everyone is a wanna be influencer who wants to reach a billion people. If that’s the case private Facebook groups, WhatsApp groups and Telegram groups wouldn’t be as popular as…

HN is not a powerful walled garden. It’s a site mostly used to share links and comments. Places like it abound on the internet. In case of any shenanigans, they’re liable to lose u…

I’m fed up with “platforms”. Growing a garden on someone else’s land is dumb and I think more people are starting to get it. Why feed someone’s enterprise for free who will then tu…

Why is this article hiding its hyperlinks? On my iOS all the links are black and indistinguishable from the rest of the text.
