For what it's worth, I use Firefox for 10+ years now for web development, and in my opinion their tooling is actually superior to Chrome. Small example: if I just want to test visual responsiveness of a page at different breakpoints, F

I was such a big sqlite fan that I used it for my data-intensive startup. Once I actually started scaling it up I ran into crippling file system race conditions. This was because we were hosted on a distributed file system in the cloud whic

OP here. Our marketing head Stephanie talks about three interesting observations that she's made working with AI: that good prompting isn't good enough, how annoyingly PC Claude is, and the effects of AI cannibalization on future

Re cold outreach: it depends. The bar is abysmally low, and most outreach is just an untargeted spam cannon. Don't be like those people. If you manage to make the outreach warmer, it can work surprisingly well. I built a tool to identi

Socrates allegedly was opposed to writing since he felt that it would make people lazy, reducing their ability to memorize things. If it wouldn't be for his disciple Plato who wrote down his words, none of his philosophy would have sur

Depending on the use case, a 10% failure rate can be quite acceptable. This is of course for non-critical applications, like e.g. top-of-funnel sales automation. In practice, for simple uses like labeling data at scale, I'm actually re

While this is a pretty cool hardware project, I would be quite annoyed to be your partner. No offense, but it almost reads as satire that you want to flash LEDs in every corner of the house if your wife doesn't look at her phone notifi

Very fascinating, I tried doing the same years ago with a simple Markov chain model. The biggest problem back then was inconsistency. I'd love to read a chapter of the Minecraft or hard magic / sci-fi books to check out the writin

This is breathtaking. I watched a few videos, and am reminded of the alien evolution simulator that I am working on right now. But where my console-based program is crawling, this project is soaring through the sky!

Wood constructed houses have one of the arguably worst thermal profiles because of their extremely low thermal mass. Basically, they heat up quickly and cool down quickly. In most of Europe and North America you want the opposite: a structu

Good point, I think nothing can replace the actual experience of learning coding out in the wild. I personally think that the single most important step for a student learning to code is the transition from the "happy path" of an

Hey HN! I'm Fabian, the CTO of Frobocode, and I'm pretty frustrated with the state of affairs of coding courses. 10 years ago, MOOCS promised to give us really good educational content that everybody can use to learn programming.

Good point, I don't know of any way of doing that inline. So that's definitely a good convenience function in Tailwind! My lived approach to inline vs. not-inline is: why not both? Inline is great for prototyping, and for edge cas

Tailwind is a thin wrapper for the people scared of CSS. I use Tailwind at work, and it opened my mind to the benefits of an "ugly" html layout with inline styling. However, being there now, I think that inline CSS offers the bett
