I feel like this is a good spot to mention that Dmitry's a friggin beast when it comes to engineering. As that Tweetster put it: "Dmitry is an insanely skilled dude. Easily on par with Carmack or Karpathy IMO. They almost had t

Someone's gotta get the word out, I'm seriously sick of all these ridiculous LARPers trying to magic Rust into existence Rust is a joke, it's a complete waste of time and effort to try and use it. It's the EU cookie law

Their support raises issues directly to the dev teams when they happen often enough, too. There's a good chance the touch screen team is working their asses off right now on this already

I'd guess they didn't market it well enough A palm pilot could do most of what people love iPhones for, but the only people who used them were business freaks and super-nerds

Alex St. John's blog was like that for Microsoft in the 90s, but unfortunately he took it down after a bunch of internet Marxists got mad at him for encouraging entrepreneurs to work long hours building games

Pretty wild.. what's the point in even making them go to school if you're just going to let them goof off on their phone all day? Just let them sit around at home watching TikTok until they turn 18 and have to get a minimum wage

All the subs I followed are a shadow of their former selves.. there's still some half-assed content posted, but it's not worth bothering to try and keep up any more I was on a bunch of small niche subs with 10k users or fewer each

I'm not saying it's good for games, but the iPhone's GPU blows a big ugly Switch or Steam Deck out of the water I really wish the gaming space on phones weren't such a radioactive wasteland

hmm, I could never see any open parking spots either.. it's weird too, that place is packed even in off-peak times I'll admit the burgers are a lot better than McDonald's, although still not as good as something half-assedly

Is it weird if I carry a phone with this and a solar charger around at all times, in case I suddenly get hurled back in time?

Yeah man, I know this is another HackerNews "Why not simply.." but it feels like he really did have a golden opportunity to hijack Reddit I'd much rather post on an open version of Reddit with my clients of choice than the ma

You're going into a bad, boring place for 8 hours a day. You're pissing away your precious time on earth while lying to yourself that it's a "balance" and you're happy about it.

You aren't sitting on a beach playing guitar with your friends if you get a tech job in Germany, you're doing the same boring pain-in-the-ass dead-end work either way. Just with less threat of being randomly fired or mistreated,

I'd rather work one year at Amazon than 5 years at a nice European country in a walkable city, and that's how the numbers pan out if you're saving for retirement
