    If there's a unit test and you can give the correct response, I think it absolutely should be refunded and more. Otherwise, the stage of proof would be too hard.

    Ask HN: Have you found a fulfilling way to handle multi-line text with JSON?

    JSON doesn't like new-lines in human readable formats (ie, anything but \n). Multiple times a year, I will find myself forgetting this, pasting in some raw text, and seeing that li…

    Stepping on my soapbox: Treat your mind, body, and present moment as if they're sacred. As if you could live a thousand lives and they would be sacred every time. All the other stu…

    I had similar feelings with art generation. The early midjourney was definitely impressionistic, and I just kind of like impressionism. It's cool how accurate these have become, bu…

    Yeah. It really does seem that Microsoft is giving up on... everything? Like Xbox is kinda out, Windows is not great, and their AI never comes up as meaningful. I wouldn't personal…

    Sure. I spent some time designing the architecture for a system like this last year, based largely on my experience dating a prolific social networker for many years. Would love to…

    I'll join your team if you find something. Would love to work as a group, rather than lone contributors. Currently I'm looking into Deno and Ladybird. The latter has been nice enou…

    Ask HN: Would you like some help with your OSS project?

    I'm retired and I would like to resume collaborating with smart people. Any project will do. Journey > destination. My best times programming had more to do with people than purpos…

    I usually know what type I have and what type I want and just skim, searching for code examples with anything using either of those types. The only time I really read some docs is …

    Ask HN: Do you read docs, or just skim for shiny syntax? or other?

    Ignoring AI for a moment... How do (did) you read docs?

    I'm currently discovering Helix because I'm creating an LSP. I had tried to do the work in Zed, but Zed requires compilation with each update. It's for the sake of sandboxing, but …

    I often go with either SQLite or a JSON loaded to RAM and synced for really small stuff. But even SQLite is starting to seem like overkill. Honestly, I think most of my data will b…

    I'm trying to figure out if our predictions differ because of the confusion of language and definitions, or if it's because there's something you're seeing which I am not. But also…

    You seem to be human from your comment history. Are you being pedantic about your definition of databases, or do you legitimately think DB's are necessary for storing decentralized…

    Are Databases going to start dissappearing?

    I already don't trust anything a bot can POST to. So now I'm working towards making all my personal information live on servers that I control. And when it comes to decentralized p…
