Hey, I know that sound. Hah!

I agree. I think it's an escape hatch phrase for people to try to avoid criticism. A.I. tooling is so similar to a highly addictive drug. Users think they can control how much they…

Because someone commenting leads to others spending time and effort responding. Deleting the comment breaks the chain. Don't comment if you feel that it's something you might want …

Exactly. People buy those automated circular floor vacuums. Anyone can get it done with a regular broom/vacuum in a small fraction of the time it takes for those things. Just like …

When I decided to leave my last job (I say last as I have no idea how to find work anymore), one of the top reasons is because they were pushing AI so hard on everyone. From suppor…

The only thing good to come out of LinkedIn is Kafka. That's it. I deleted my account about a year ago. It does suck, I lost all those "network connections" from past contracts and…

Sure, but right now we are talking about Cloudflare Drop. Whataboutism doesn't dismiss this specific issue. What we need then is someone that is good at collecting, digesting, and …

Wow, that's awful! Considering how incredibly easy they open anyone up to uploading sensitive content, it's ridiculously unsafe to have open like that. I only saw the home page, an…

You got me with the rewrite, you lost me with AI.

This just means I am done with buying game consoles. I'll be done with buying any new games soon. I've been around long enough where there is a backlog of games that can last for t…

I can deal with a launch problem. I am looking forward to being able to check it out. I stopped coming to HN as often as I used to because there has been too much AI talk. It's lik…

Yeah, I have dropped out of the tech biz completely. I'm unemployed and kind of screwed now. I couldn't take it anymore. I used to work with intellectuals and thinkers. This is why…

No, that is not correct. It's a symptom of unbridled capitalism. It has nothing to do with our ability to manufacture. It has everything to do with maximizing profits.

Great tools!

Wow, I haven't written any Objective-C since around 2012. I just went back and looked at some code I had written back then and that really brought back some memories. I was much ha…

I simply run GrandPerspective (GUI app, https://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ ), or dust (terminal app, https://github.com/bootandy/dust ), to give me an idea of what is going o…

They have $. They pay others to execute their plans. There is no bright side.

I was the king of Descent for a long time at a place I worked at. 4 of us would play at lunch just about every day. I was so f'n good at that game. That and Duke Nukem.

As others have stated, there is no point in a "reveal". Simply show the comparison upfront. User interaction should not be necessary as it only needs to be a plain old html documen…

It's JSON.

What would be the point of avoiding linux?

Yeah, I'm not a paid shill. I have been using IntelliJ since version 2 way back in 2003(?). Yes, it's had its performance issues, but people tend to forget the feature set they bro…

I'm in the camp of "If your target is Go, then prototype in Go." I don't bother with the intermediate step. Go is already so very close to being a dynamic language that I don't get…
