I worked on an Elm project professionally for a few years, and I just finished upgrading an old React app to version 19 on my own, which took a greater part of a year. I can appreciate even more now why Elm is so opinionated. As much as Elm

That's great news. Do we have any idea if they'll have something ready before September?

Even the simplest of projects have these engineering challenges, but people cannot see the forest for the trees when it comes to maintenance. Since I did not enter the industry with a computer science degree, I was relegated to less desirab

Ah cool to see this on HN! I'm taking a numerical calc class right now and it's nice to get some historical context around something you're studying. I'd recommend checking out some cool graphs about Runge's phenome

The code, tests and comments convey what actual business rules are implemented. While documentation is someone's non-precise natural language expression of what (to the best of their imperfect human capacity) expected the code to imple

“While our study did not differentiate between methods of cannabis consumption, cannabis is most commonly consumed by smoking,” Kokot said in an email. “The association we found likely pertains mainly to smoked cannabis.” So yeah if you inh

Sounds like the future is bright for the field and that it has lots of applications. I'd imagine future aging treatments would employ several of these methods together, say cell reprogramming for your organs, along with resetting some

A good SWE salary doesn't necessarily elevate you to the same strata anymore. Most of the programmers I work with have parents that supported them, especially monetarily. I myself, could not rely on either parent. Well-off parents can

These prices are pretty meaningless. They said the same thing about Hyundai Konas but dealer prices are substantially different. Used/new car purchases continue to be a terrible value proposition.

I've been following this story for a bit. I'm traveling to Mexico soon and the last leg is on a 737 MAX 9. I'm looking into contacting Aeromexico to see about changing flights to a different airplane.

Love Steve. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a conference once. I wonder if Mexico City's historically bad air pollution had something to do with it. Apparently the oxygen levels are 25% lower in the city, due to its high altitud

I understand where you're coming from, as they can be highly destructive and are to be blamed for some species on Pacific Islands going extinct! The humans who brought cats to such fragile ecosystems are clearly to blame. By and large,

Read the article. The emissions are net negative for the EV until you put 20K miles on it, due to the added emissions of producing the battery. After that the fossil fuel engine becomes a net polluter. This just means the CO2 savings for th

What if you could seed probes, like the Breakthrough Starshot probes, with synthetic life that, upon reaching their destination, would develop into humanoids that would explore for you and send back data? That's a lot of ifs, but it wo
