Yes, because the code you (or the LLM) writes is only part of the equation; if you use third party libraries then it becomes an ecosystem problem. I'm not currently using much Pyth…

> Considering that the recent Google code leak only substantiated that Chrome is the honey pot for surveillance and data harvesting that people long suspected I'm vaguely aware of …

The Internet existed before Internet ads (and particularly targeted ads) did. Personally, while I don't necessarily disagree with the point you're making, I'm curious to see what a…

Really? I've gotten the sense that the Rust community is more kind to noobs than average. Not that the average is great, but still.

I can't cite my sources, but I recently started learning Rust and I've been doing this. I would guess that I picked it up from the Rust book, since that's been my primary learning …

I feel like I often hear these kinds of stories about Uber, but rarely about Lyft. Is Lyft actually better, or are they just more under the radar?

"Quone" is another good Scrabble word, though it's usually only found in medical dictionaries.

I just want to thank you for your contribution to this thread. I've long thought email should go in a direction similar to what you're describing, and I appreciate the specificity …

This seems like the type of thing that a sophisticated query planner in 2024 would be able to figure out on its own? Maybe as a non database expert I'm expecting too much?

I'm out of touch. What would you use instead of ARM?

I was skeptical at first - tried the copilot beta, got annoyed by it, and quickly turned it off. Later I tried it again and haven't looked back. For the most part it's not that I'm…

I feel like in part it's an education issue. I don't have the slightest clue - was never taught - what is ok to eat and what is risky. I rely entirely on gut feelings and Google.

This (developers having significant time to work on hobby/side projects) seems to be pretty common among experiences I read about online (i.e. Hacker News, blogs) but basically unh…

One major caveat is that PWAs don't have all the capabilities of a native app. I think that's the biggest issue people have with this -- if PWAs had full feature parity with native…

Android's app store may suck, but at least it's possible to start a competing store which sucks less.

Seeing as how this is Hacker News, I thought this was going to be about how the constitution contains non printable characters or something.

Maybe I'm dumb but that section didn't explain the problem to me in the slightest.

Is not being creepy sufficient? My understanding is that you need consent to collect literally any PII, e.g. an email address.

You've touched on some good points. It makes me wonder: what kind of objection can one raise that would actually make a difference? Send a mean tweet? Call my senator? And tell the…

> I can get rid of all these lightning cables > Will have to buy more USB-C cables, though Finally Apple's switched to USB-C so that we can cut down on cable waste!

I have no expectations, but I thought I might as well ask: do you know if there are any apps that will unroll a Twitter thread given a link like the one in your comment? The web ve…

I hear this all the time and I don't understand it. Bootstrapping a new project with is so easy and fast, literally easier than bootstrapping a vanilla HTML project. What am I miss…

All of the modern frameworks do tbh, people just like to bitch about what they don't understand

I agree. I don't have aphantasia but most of the time when I look at an architectural diagram it feels like I'm looking at nothing at all.
