It is also interesting to observe that your most valuable accounts in this kind of pricing model are the ones that are least used and therefore are not confronted by the limits. He…

Show HN: C4 – Separate file description from file content
C4 is a standardized identification system that separates file description from file content so they can be stored or transmitted independently. You can send a small text-based fil…

This is the problem I suspect. I think it has a negative impact on tons of users but people just curse and move on.

Thanks for your "not sure" comment. Very helpful. Perhaps I'm mistaken but I thought the formatting would make it more legible and scannable. I can see why that might come across a…

Ask HN: Why does macOS still lack focus stealing prevention in 2025?
Been dealing with this forever and finally went down the rabbit hole to understand it properly. The issue: macOS lets any app steal your keyboard focus whenever it wants. Technical…

Olympic athletes don't exist because no one at my gym runs that fast. You are right that typing speed isn't the bottleneck, but wrong about what AI actually accelerates. The 10x en…

Agreed. Adding black boxes on top of black boxes is not a good way to abstract complexity. Helm does nothing more than any template engine does, yet requires me to trust not only t…

I would think that by comparison to image models synthetic data would be relatively easy to generate for audio model training. I’m curious then why it continues to be so difficult …

It seems to me (at the moment) that the 'engineering' of "prompt engineering" happens at the level of taking a word prediction model AI and turning it into a Q&A AI, and the art of…

In Go that quote is literally true. If you do nothing on a new computer but download Go you can immediately build a statically linked application that can fetch from an https endpo…

> I'm not just taking it in isolation for no reason. If you have static linking, you basically have HTTPS by consequence. Can you clarify what you mean by this because to me there …

I really hated this feature at first, but it's one of my absolute favorite things about Go now. In general Go communicates more information than other programming languages without…

I just addressed this question more directly on your other comment. I do not agree that it is incumbent upon a speaker to anticipate the listeners knowledge, so I do not think it i…

Comment #33758861
Then why not assume it is the static linking that is trivial? Isolated each item is trivial in some context, its the exclusive set that is non-trivial, or at least uncommon. The fa…

Comment #33758610
Sorry for the misattribution, my mistake. Nevertheless, the fact remains that https is a part of the standard library and one of the elements that the op finds unique about Go. It …

Well that's not on him man. You are the one calling him out for being unaware of static linking, when you don't even seem to understand the full set of pros he listed in his first …

Wait, what prior programming language is compiled, can be statically linked, and has an https implementation in it's standard library?

Why would you need a Makefile? You have to run helm to apply helm charts, how is `kubectl apply -f .` any more complicated then that? The entire existence of helm is superfluous. T…

A problem, however, is that subscriptions are desirable revenue streams regardless of continuous operating costs. A product I can buy for a largely concrete exchange in value, wher…

Think of Kubernetes like a single application. The config files are the source for that application, the running cluster is the compiled application running on the users computer. …

The problem is that few people seem to understand the infrastructure as code concept, and essentially break the core k8s declarative architecture with imperative workflows that loo…

Thanks! That is the one I was thinking of. Notice how even at 10ms of latency rubberbanding is easily visible.
