    > This is such a weird statement to see. The idea that a startup founder whose company is growing at 93% month-over-month has a net worth growing at the same rate is just so logica…

    Is this for real? Native apps on all platforms including GUI in Typescript...sounds too good to be true. Anyone have any experience with it? Does it work for crud applications?

    That makes sense to me too. Why wouldn't that be an option or is not really just a small vein between the two, but a bunch of "blood vessels"?

    Came across this a while back (haven't used it though): https://www.juniper-lang.org/ -- seems interesting and different. Specifically for Arduino tho and compiles to C++ apparentl…

    You could charge a lot and only not have dark patterns :-). Nothing says you have to charge a little because you are open-source/foss.

    But the answers are really coming from those "SEO laden crapware" sites that ChatGPT was trained on -- in some ways ChatGPT has kinda stolen information and summarized it, but what…

    This (the comment in the example link) is really an amazing sharing of learned information!

    It's unclear to me what this is doing exactly -- is it finding the best ever? If not, why would the best change every time you run this? Also, does anyone have pointers to a hash f…

    It feels like your change is changing the scene? The author's sentence makes it seem like the laughter was not in the restaurant, while yours makes it seem like it's taking place i…

    I think, as a kind of "get an explanation for a specific thing" this is a fantastic addition to the world of teaching/tutoring and hope it succeeds. I tutor my son in engineering l…

    Since when has the broad term "networking" started referring to just Web protocols? Can I use this to build any random server (like, say, an FTP server) that provides services over…

    Seriously, the competing library problem is stale news. It might've contributed to things stalling a long time back, but I think the main reason right now perhaps is due to no main…

    And which language did you enjoy coding in the most? Yeah, a subjective question :-). (Edit: Missed the auto-generated part, so maybe you don't have an opinion on experience regard…

    Apart from clearly specifying the binary format, do you have any tools to generate code to process said format? What do you envision this will be used for -- apart from documentati…

    Isn't a method worrying about whether it needs a lock or not and being coded appropriately way better (since the writer of that method/function thinks through it when writing it) t…

    In theory, if this is the case (or the case in other comments about null pointer use and such), you would/could write it as: bool cheap = cheapCheck(); bool expensive = cheap && ex…

    But isn't such a language already there? It's called the D Programming Language [1]. Sorry a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I'm getting tired of all these 'even-more-awesome' new program…

    Before it goes out of business, you will spend some frustrating amount of time playing with pricing or giving discounts to customers when you will wish desperately that you had a s…

    Yeah, CEO's likely optimize for their bonuses...depressing to think about it; but most likely the CEO's compensation is aligned to what the company wants to be the outcome financia…

    I think managers will do that (keep popel around just in case), but businessmen (or CEO's) will optimize for what's best for the business. No? A lower-level manager who actually se…

    Interesting way to look at it. It certainly makes sense that companies hire to capture intellectual output when money is cheap and then tighten spending when access to easy money g…

    When you "see it" and if you not going just by cheapest price, one of the things you might go by is "familiarity" (for products in the same space that are similarly priced). That "…
