Yeah I can't take Marc Andreessen seriously any more after that incident, no matter how hard I try. He wrote that surreal letter objecting to building multifamily/affordable housin…

This is just a sad attempt at marketing to OSS maintainers. Whoever came up with this idea has no idea how OSS maintainers operate.

Python is great for small scripts or explorations. You can't use it for anything serious that needs to scale due to the lack of concurrency and significant memory overhead. If you …

One data point: my wife and I were set in getting a Tesla as our next car. We are now in the market for a new EV, but we both decided against Tesla due to Elon's shenanigans. We wi…

Lol, I could host all of substack as static html pages on a $20/mo linode instance. Embarrassing.

To be brutally honest it does not seem like Slack is the actual problem. I think you are having difficulties performing and are looking for an excuse, and Slack seems convenient. J…

We used to pay CircleCI $200/month to run CI on a widely-used open-source project, which was set up before GHA was available. Around one year ago we switched to GHA, which was sign…

I am surprised to see that GitHub staff are still working on GitHub Actions. It's hard to tell because it's been almost two years and it's still not possible to have a self-hosted …

I think the primary use case is building the same code on multiple platforms. A developer can write a single CMakeFile and then CMake will generate Makefiles/Ninja files/VS soln fi…

Now all of a sudden those physics problems involving shooting a gun while on a train seem a lot more depressing :(

To me that is a specious argument. It's like asking why Python was invented when Cobol could suffice. The dozens of ASN.1 specs are absolutely hideous and entrenched in obsolete te…

I feel like I have derived so much value from Google Maps, especially turn by turn navigation, than I don't even consider the advertisement aspects. I would happily pay a monthly f…

I am guessing FANG engineers (and most engineers in general) would unanimously suggest "delete this ridiculous , ill-conceived JNDI integration ASAP. If people want JNDI integratio…

This feels like the Google Plus fiasco all over again. Throwing an entire company at making a social product that nobody will use. Good luck!

Translation: I have written buggy, racy software that has specific dependencies on thread timing. Please do not make significant improvements to Python because it will reveal these…

OR, folks can just use Atari emulator in a RetroPie or any other media PC and not have to deal with this guy.

This article has a summary: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23696427 That’s not how I would interact with a Turing award winner. And it’s not the first time they have had that…

Declining a research award due to supporting a toxic employee with a long history of unnecessarily hostile and combative behavior (just look at the yann lecun twitter thread). Soun…

Very interesting article. Got through the first few paragraphs until I got completely lost. This seems like something that should be submitted to an academic journal and OP should …

It is quite pathetic that a purported 'future of payments' is so inefficient in so many ways. This is why I will never participate in systems like bitcoin that consume hundreds of …

I believe it's the other way around. Objects with mass warp spacetime, and the resulting curvature results in gravity. Everything not accelerating travels in straight lines, where …

The audacity of these AWS folks patronizing elastic about open source despite AWS making millions of dollars off of their open source project just reeks of entitlement. Glad I am n…

If a project management app is the hardest code you've ever written, this sounds like overengineering**2. Just use lists of lists like every other project management app.

Fair point, Maxwell was one of the most brilliant scientists ever. Definitely on par with Einstein, Newton, and Galileo. It's a shame he died so young, who knows what else he could…
