This is such a good write-up and something I'm struggling with very hard. Does quality of code in the traditional sense even matter anymore if e.g. CC can work with said code anyway. I haven't had imposter's in a long time, b

Having worked with cvs and svn, git has been an absolute blast. That said, the first thing I do now in a repo is jj init --colocate. The fact alone that there is an operation log in jj, so you can easily revert your last command, or go back

It's happening on a different level as well. More and more developers are moving from the US to popular startup hubs in Europe, e.g. Amsterdam, Copenhagen. They were often higher up in the FAANG chain, so they are immediately quite hig

If I understand correctly, what this project does is take the actual postgresql sources, which are written in C, compile them to wasm and provide typescript wrappers. So you need the wasm to be able to use the C code from js/ts.

There is a very loud part of HN that strongly dislikes mozilla/firefox. It's disproportionate imo, I don't understand why they're singled out so often.

From what I've seen in my direct circle, childhood trauma leaves deep deep traces, and not in a good way. The idea that childhood trauma encourages growth to me sounds like pull yourself up by your bootstraps kind of rhetoric.

Am I missing something here? 4chan is available in the UK so has to follow UK laws there, where is the problem? Regardless of whatever it is they are enforcing.

In Belgium we have a service called "itsme". Had it for ages, works very well, used to be mainly for government but banks are also switching to it.

Enemy country in the current geopolitical climate is an interesting take. Doesn't sound like a great idea to me tbh.

My observation is most people who mix up C and C++ use neither. How could you even automatically migrate when a lot of things you do in C++ are straight up illegal. Not to mention relying on third-party software like Qt.

Isn't this already done? I remember a "try to hack the llm" game posted here months ago, where you had to try to get the llm to tell you a password, one of the levels had a sanitzer llm in front of the other.

LLMs are so easy to use though, it's addictive. Even as a senior I find myself asking LLMs stuff I know I should be looking up online instead.
