I made an “offline” version of this visualisation a long time ago: https://github.com/adamserafini/suffix-tree C++ with output rendered with Graphviz

My Italian grandparents operated a fish, chips and ice cream joint in Falkirk called the York Cafe. It has nothing to do with the article but this is the first time I can remember Falkirk being discussed on HN!

My recollection (admittedly worked for Amazon >19 years ago) is that there was never any computational overhead to commingling. In fact, the opposite was true: there was a computational overhead to tracking which vendor a specific piece

I experimented with Claude Code but returned to the familiar Aider which existed before all of these tools AFAIK. You’ll notice people in Aider GitHub issues being concerned about its rather conservative pace of change, lack of plug-in ecos

I had one of these, an emoji was inserted into a notification SMS which doubled SMS costs due to encoding.

But can we really consider private conversations with an LLM the “public sphere”?

Very interesting! I wonder if, sadly, the rise of AI-assisted coding will chip away also at this potential revenue stream? As developers simply ask a local or cloud LLM how to use a piece a software instead of reading the documentation.

I wonder what Paul's definition of "young" is in the sentence and why he qualifies this as only applicable to "young" people. Is he proposing that "old" people will have misaligned thinking about what need

Not all problems result in error traces to analyse. Example, you release buggy client that doesn't call "POST /order/finalize" when it should. There are no error traces, there are just missing HTTP requests. Metrics

Yes, and: Not all problems result in error traces to analyse. Example, you release buggy client that doesn't call "POST /order/finalize" when it should. There are no error traces, there are just missing HTTP request

With only sampled traces though it’s very hard to understand the impact of the problem. There are some bad traces but is it affecting 5%, 10% or 90% of your customers. Metrics shine there.

One problem I found with the "delete your apps" recommendation, is that you can't actually delete Safari on iOS.

> there are no driverless truck deployments Is this really correct? What about gatik.ai, they certainly appear to have driverless trucks on the road do they not?

It’s not a subjective opinion: I’m saying that I’ve actually migrated a Python application to Golang (real time chat application with a lot of business logic) and it was 2x the line count. I expect the Golang line count ‘overhead’ gets bigg

There are tons of startups that were built on Python that became enormously valuable companies: Instagram, Dropbox, Reddit, Spotify, YouTube, Pinterest, Quora, SurveyMonkey, Twitch, Zenefits. I don’t think the data supports your VC’s thesis

My experience translating a codebase from Python to Golang (chat application), is that 20k of Python really does translate to around 40k of Golang to get the same functionality. And it’s not just due to language but also expressiveness of t

Do you mean greedy, as in the sense of a greedy algorithm? Because I don’t have a formal mathematical description for this, but it feels more ‘optimal’ than a purely greedy algorithm. Local agent behaviour may be greedy, but this could stil

I’m just not finding that ads suck that much. Things like mandatory cookie dialog boxes annoy me a lot more.

I don’t. Reason: I work building ‘internet stuff’ and I want to experience the internet in the same way that the majority of people experience it. That’s more useful to me because I consequently experience the pain (or delight) of the typic

For the OP, you've got a typo in your docs. https://allquiet.app/documentation#what-is-allquiet > by explicit excalation should be 'escalation'. Ps. I'm also in Berlin, and would be interested to have

Suggestion for the blog post author: make a PR to the Zig docs to clarify this if it’s not already.

I expect the stdlib will not be quite as tailored for general backend work as Go’s, but I envisage we’ll ultimately see a rich and vibrant package ecosystem with all those bases covered.

This feels like a failure. It doesn’t understand that tuxracer implies kelseyfrog is also just ‘predicting the next word’.

Even if no change could ever be made again to Bitcoin: it is not an inflationary money in the long term. Only during the current predictable and necessary bootstrapping phase where there still exists a block reward (until ~2140) is the tota
