Not at all. There's an extremely loud online contingent that has developed a distaste for it. Mostly game developers who were badly bitten by some of the nastier parts of it in the…

If you hire using LeetCode, you will surround yourself with people who enjoy blogging about LeetCode in their free time. LeetCode was never about LeetCode, it was always a stand in…

1) I know a few kids that went on to great schools that were addicted to various video games. In general, all of them are successful today, a couple decades later. In only two inst…

The internet underground in the late 90s/early 2000s was absolutely full of Australians. I feel like I hardly encounter them anymore, for some reason.

New internets have been formed, and the same stuff you knew and loved about earlier internets are present there. But it feels smaller & lonelier - because you've become accustomed …

It's possible to learn CS on your own, but judging by how many people on HN seem to have a complete misunderstanding of what big O means, I would say it's rare.

> In Germany, signing a FTE contract also entails implicitly that, if I produce something over the weekends, my employer has legal power to claim it as their IP. What gave you that…

The Pokemon Snap one brings me back to when I was a kid. They had these Pokemon Snap machines, and you used to be able to take your memory card to the local mall and use them to pr…

My general understanding is that Zig was made to make video games and Rust was made to make system software, and everything falls out from there.

I've found that it's the other way around, Europeans want to call Americans refugees because they themselves use it as an insult. If I started introducing myself as a refugee/migra…

If you're willing to boot to Windows, Dolphin Smalltalk is the best modern day version. It's great fun to play with and easy to make native tools.

This and things like FocusMate seem symptomatic of much larger, more serious latent problems. It reminds of the younger generations having to put YouTube on to eat a meal. I can't …

The stuff ChatGPT comes up with sounds funnier and more entertaining than 90% of the current Netflix catalog.

"To decode the text "wnphmmv" using rot-13, we need to replace each letter with the letter that is 13 positions later in the alphabet. This can be done manually by writing out the …

It's not about "genius". It gets just enough wrong (like, completely wrong) that it's untrustworthy. It's really good if you're already familiar with the content, though (or you kn…

It's also useful for translating with specific instructions. I've replaced DeepL with it for German because I'm able to provide specific context, e.g "Write a friendly letter to th…

Xanadu is starting to sound more and more attractive these days

Isn't the bogus code trivially caught by linear type languages like Austral? Maybe we need to move past urBEAM and into futureBEAM
