Just to clarify, and I know you weren't saying they are related, but this has absolutely nothing to do with AI or vibe coding or manager code. It's a continuation of the Shai Halud…

I see the problem everyday and am just playing devil's advocate but it doesn't really do a good job explaining the "why". They hint at Django being a different level of quality com…

I don't think that's fair. I follow politics closely but prefer HN to stay technical. It shouldn't be offensive.

I've never had a good experience with individual metrics leaderboards. On one team we had a JIRA story point tracker shown on a tv by a clueless exec. Devs did everything they coul…

Agree, if they're going to guilt shame companies publicly and be defensive in replies, just dual license it. Not a great look.

you do realize it already comes with a matrix screensaver, right?

> But Omarchy is a reminder that we live in a world where software isn’t just software, but the people who make it. I get people are totally within their rights to ban movies/softw…

Not shocking, a lot of time goes into making Vite and they need to make money. One approach is to setup consulting services. Looks like Void Zero's approach is to start building va…

deep breaths, everything is going to be okay.

I can't speak for the person(s) you're referring to but at lest on HN it's generally always been anti-political. The guidelines state: > Please don't use Hacker News for political …

This is tin foil hat crazy

Come on now, security isn't easy but it's not rocket science. If someone is competent enough to be developing applications they're certainly competent enough to do security correct…

I admit I haven't read the article but what's disgusting about incentivizing employee efficiency with prizes? What's weird to me is that these people aren't forced to work there. T…

We had to abandon Lambda due to cold starts. Any news if that's resolved?

To be fair he's just pointing out a fact. If we're going to talk about this then let's get the facts straight. I do not think he was justified in shooting but I also don't think th…

> Blew them away as soon as they opened the door. Source? My point was that "as soon as they opened the door" and "seconds later" are not the same thing. Go watch the body cam or d…

There was an investigation. It was concluded that the victim reached for his waist (maybe to pull up pants) after being told not to. Very very difficult situation for sure.

I'm not sure your point. It's extremely harmful as it caused the death of an individual. The investigation concluded the officer was not in the wrong.

The idea is to reduce complexity as developers can simply provide code and let the service handle everything else. Unfortunately, the technology isn't there yet and serverless is a…

I've got no VR and no problems. Game infrequently, computer off for weeks at a time. Yes, Steam or Battle.NET will need to install updates but that's just like any console.

I don't mean to take away from Shazam (because I too was amazed when I first used it) but the Pixel phones have Shazam-like ability built in which uses minimal battery and without …

Developing for the browser is leaner but it's the opposite for end-users. I hope PWAs are the future as well but native is still king for the time being.

Looks great for basic websites but it's missing the biggest and most difficult piece of cloud infrastructure. The DATABASE! Today you'd have to open up your cloud DB provider to th…

Looks awesome and love the focus on plugins. I also like some of the choices made, Redux, React Router, Security, etc. but going with Flow?? Our company has standardized on Typescr…

That's like saying "electric cars are never happening". Both already are happening.
