You sound like my boss! I'm not really into the whole "burnout" thing though.

I LOVE Kurzwheil! Thank you for the compliment, I'm very far from having his writing skills. But yes sci-fi is looking more and more like, well, sci.

Perhaps you're the one making it work well? I've spent a day fixing a feature my very junior colleague pushed, and which was merged by my should-have-known-better colleagues who have almost as much experience as me. We have access

Did you use chatjimmy? It's somewhat terrifying to use when you think of the potential results with a better model. Ok, real life example: I now spend most of my time, as a developer, waiting for the agent to do its thing (after carefu

Possibly the dumbest take I've ever seen on HN. Like politicians are going "without the homeless, I won't have anything to do anymore!". Like the street workers are thinking "shit, what'll I do if this goldmine

This is like speciation but for languages: there's no "ah-ha!" moment, but we know a lemur can't produce viable offsprings with a zebra. Likewise we know Italian isn't French even though some words are kinda similar

"and all Canaanite dialects are mutually intelligible": That is the definition of a dialect. Also, I don't know how you can claim Hebrew is phonetically represented by its alphabet rather than the other way around, as a reviv

It's been pretty obvious for a long time that Youtube doesn't want you to have an objective view of anything. It wants you to trust in the Algorithm to spoonfeed you content. Even the subscription page now displays some arbitrary

Is Anthropic matching OpenAI's announcement schedule or is it the other way around? It's strange how it's so often the same day.

Thanks! I hope I didn't come off as too dismissive, I'm hearing a lot of good things about Jujutsu. As a developer though, I've never wanted to build from source (probably in the minority on that front).

I did check that page, as far as I can tell you still need to run Cargo which I don't want to do because I don't care about Rust. I'm not complaining for the sake of complaining, I'm saying if they want to play in the Bi

I did! No apt install jujutsu. I also did 'apt search jujutsu'. Don't ask me to care about yet another language's package manager, I already know way more than I wish to.

> $ cargo install jj-cli@0.23.0 --locked I won't install Rust just to test your software. Make a debian package like everyone else.

I'm not vouching against WordPress per se, just wish people would use the best tool for the job at hand rather than the one tool they know. Sometimes that's Jekyll and sometimes you need comments.

Counter-point: static sites are unhackable, require no maintenance and are free to host. Now that I've migrated the website for a local (volunteer) event, they will never have to worry about their site breaking on them again. Multiply

And how do you draw the line between feeling progress and actually making progress?

Kind reminder that Twitch is owned by Amazon, which is a monster of a company. Check out Owncast and Peertube for alternatives.

So custom implementation, then? How very Microsoft.

I remember back when Anubis came out, some naysayers on here were saying it wouldn't work for long because the scrapers would adapt. Turns out careless, unethical vibecoders aren't very competent.

Not sure why you're talking like OP pissed in your cheerios. They are a victim of a broken system, it shouldn't be on them to spend more effort protecting their stuff from careless-to-malicious actors.

I'm always fascinated by these growth charts. Isn't everyone who needs GitHub already on GitHub? Are people migrating from GitLab? I don't get it!

This is only true if you weren't paid for your work all those years (which, then, it was just a hobby). But more importantly, this is only relevant for vomiting boilerplate code. I don't know about you but I always did a lot more

Well, we do need taxes. Land taxes are fine too I guess, but I doubt they'll catch on in North America (too many politicians own real estate).

Sales taxes are regressive and nonsensical, why punish people because they contribute to the economy by buying stuff? Just do income tax.

hahah what are you talking about, there's no such thing as long term!

Surely you mean managers, right? Most developers I interact with would love to do things the right way, but there's just no time, we have to chase this week's priority!

Jesus I just had flashbacks from my last jobs. Non-technical founder always telling me I was being pessimistic (there were no technical founders). It's just not that simple Karen!

Is there a way to ban specific users in your GitHub project? (I prefer GitLab, I'm sure if it had projects that are as popular it would be similarly inundated.)
