And older example: Warner brothers were born as Wonsal (or Wonskolaser), and they changed their names too (Hirsz became Harry, Aaron became Albert).

I feel like the internet used to be "cool that way", but it's not anymore. You don't do stuff for "engagement", but you probably want some audience and feedback, otherwise why bother publishing your work at all

It seems like this project tries to replace various battle tested and widely adopted things like sdkman, serialization libs, build systems, HTTP servers and web frameworks. Even if there's something wrong with any existing solution in

I don't know anything about the author, but they seem rather humble, not giving "do you know who I am" vibes at all, the writing is very humanizing, raises many good and relatable points. I enjoyed reading the whole text with

Most international broadcasters have left the shortwave band quite some time ago, unfortunately. I think it is still easy to find BBC, China Radio International, Romanian radio, Radio Havana Cuba, but the list is relatively short (compared

Normally you don't want to format automatically generated code, you adjust the code generator instead.

The text on all pages looks very much LLM-generated, and I think all "user comments" there are fake too. (Edit: I mean "what people said" sections.) I like the idea of the site, but not the execution. It feels weird to r

It is obviously AI-generated, lots of filler text that communicates nothing of substance. Disappointed to see this on the front page, what a waste of reader's time.

Usually when someone decides to share code with the world, they don't want to publish the actual development history. They publish the first version that is ready to go public as the first commit. With enough functionality etc.

Isn't it normal for the initial commit to be large?

I have a similar experience, I learned English much later than my first programming languages, and picking up some keywords and basic APIs was never an issue (it was BASIC and C/C++ at the time). Maybe I would occasionally look up in a

Scala and Kotlin have 'tailrec' annotation/modifier, though not as sophisticated as you describe.

You mention it was 8 years ago, at that point a typical Java dev would be already using Spring Boot for requests and deserializing JSON to POJOs (with Jackson under the hood).

I get your point, but the natural numbers do not form a ring or field.

It looks like a parody of LLM delusion, but the PR is oddly specific to be just trolling, and the author also submitted his work to HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45982416

I am doing backend in Kotlin, but I must admit that Java has been catching up quickly, and it seems like Kotlin has been shifting its focus to Kotlin Multiplatform. Modern Java is a good, pleasant language and a safer bet. Gradle with Kotli

A vector is always a vector -- an element of something that satisfies the axioms of a vector space. The author starts with the example of R^n, which is a very particular vector space that is finite-dimensional and comes with a "canonic

One factual thing that looks off is "the UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets". I'm not in the UK and not following closely the situation there, but "thousands", really? Genuine doubt, would love to see some

It is used for things like "Foo x = new Foo()" where the type is obvious.

Oh I think you're right and both took it from Common Lisp, which largely predates namespaces in C++ and R.

C++ also uses (::), by the way. R probably borrowed it from C++.

I think remasters are uploaded by the record labels, it's not some kind of algorithm run by Spotify. It has loudness normalization, which can be turned off in the settings.

Among well-known mathematicians, Gabriel Lamé claimed a proof in 1847 that was assuming unique factorization in cyclotomic fields. This was not obvious at the time, and in fact, Ernst Kummer had discovered the assumption to be false some ye

You can use LLMs to check grammar and style and manually go through each suggested correction; it will take more time, but your readers will appreciate the effort and your own voice and style will be there. People get upset by LLM-generated
