Does anybody have a good sense of how impactful this will really be? I've grown cynical over the years after plenty of big announcements but very little in the way of big action.

Hi HN, I'm on the lookout for "no-fluff" software engineering podcasts. I find myself disenchanted with many of the more popular options today. A common issue I've encountered is t…

What a legacy. I watched an excellent documentary on this man a few years back[0]. He donated massive sums of money (up to $1 billion) to third level institutions in Ireland, all o…

Obair mhaith! Not what I was expecting to see on Hacker news this morning. How does it work? Are you translating Irish speech to English text and sending to chat gpt? Are there API…

In many parts of Europe, a heart attack used to go like this: 1: 112 call to an ambulance 2: Ambulance arrives, takes an ECG and gives aspirin and GTN 3: Paramedics drive to the em…

Hi HN! Many developers use websites to handle menial everyday tasks like formatting json, generating uuid's, etc. The problem that we found with this is that many of these websites…

I have no affiliation with Intercom but I was taken aback by how much better this bot appears to be compared to any chat bot I've seen before. They have an interactive demo on the …

I built a similar one to test job descriptions for non-inclusive language[0]. These tools are helpful , particularly for people who are not native English speakers. I use open sour…

The major one that came to mind were cloud providers (AWS, CGP, Azure, etc.). Even if you manage to build in resilience to a major outage, I'd wager that many services your busines…

Good idea to make a throwaway account for this question. If I were in that situation I'd send a get well soon card and flowers. I wouldn't call or visit. Usually the only thing you…

A lot of the reporting that I read about this event showed an astonishing lack of critical thinking. As the linked article says, two things would have to have been true: 1: The air…

What (presumably!) was built as a joke will actually help me a lot. For my side-project (devscreen.io) we have to make lots of realistic coding tests and pull requests with bugs in…

I've done this. It was the right decision for me and I have no regrets. However, it is a personal decision and I'm not going to try to convince you one way or another. Rather, I'll…

If you were shocked that this is only happening now, I'd highly recommend reading or listening to the book "Invisible Women" by Caroline Criado-Perez. She highlights instances of t…
