Indeed, it's sad. They are staple here in Portugal, covering entire buildings. Beautiful examples: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3BK1BoMVsgRY38eG8 and https://maps.app.goo.gl/fquP923g13x…

I would love to help, but it's not my domain. I, unfortunately, witness the side-effects of people stealing them on my day to day. There are many shops in Lisbon that sell them, an…

Doing a little activism here: please don't buy old ones while visiting Portugal/Spain/etc., as they are commonly stolen goods. Thanks, from Lisbon.

Are you using openrouter or something else?

Very cool! I did something similar using Dolphin and LLVM, 16 years ago during my masters, for a course on virtual machines. I compiled the interpreter to LLVM bitcode and then use…

Q: Why? A: Why not?

These folks have no lasting moat and they know it. We are still close to the November 2025 inflection point, so they had a clear advantage during these past few months. That will s…

I find it surprising that the word "incident" doesn't yet show up on this page. Cloudflare had at least two nasty incidents a few months ago. It certainly shook my confidence in th…

I totally get you, but this is yet another thick layer away.

Indeed. We now live in a world where freeware is named open source. We are very sorry, Stallman.

It was super popular in Portugal.

I just read the article and I didn't get away with that rationale. Now, this isn't to say that I agree with the author. I don't see why go would *have* to add typed error sets to h…

I'll continue apologizing. I'm very sorry, though.

I'm not! Just preparing myself for the worst-case scenario and creating some bookmarks meanwhile.

Damn. What alternatives does HN recommend?

Totally. I was in the ER, hitting my head against the wall because of the pain. And when the doctor cut it open... it was so painful, but the almost instant relief was worth it.

It makes me want to buy both! Old to tinker with, new to support the move.

I have a very similar story. It went from ibuprofen and water to antibiotics the following day, to different antibiotics the next day, and finally to having my tonsils purged (i.e.…

Depends on the software. IMO, development speed will increase, but humans will continue to be the limiting factor, so we are safe. Our jobs, however, are changing and will continue…

To the author: you wrote those apps. Not like you used to, but you wrote them. IMO, our jobs are safe. It's our ways of working that are changing. Rapidly.

It worked in the past.

>WCET ("worst case execution time") is an important consideration: Operations should take a fixed amount of time and the produced machine code should be predictable. Good luck. Giv…

Did you really go through the trouble of creating an account just to spit trash? Damn!

Absolutely. I wouldn’t be surprised if they turned the heat up a little after the last incident. The result? Even more incidents.
