I love the fact that we’re starting to think about AI tools being kinder to our brains rather than overwhelming them

TIL that I'd been using items in this list for reference without realizing that I had been working with Josh (OP) at my day-job the whole time!

Hahaha, thank you. I was also trying to be curt and funny, but I guess the HN community takes their Ethereum seriously :D

I have no idea how Etherium or the blockchain works. I'm sure that it's all incredibly important and technically impressive, but these all sound like fake words that your parents would use to describe what happens when they try to

You are entitled to your opinions, but why do you see this as forced? The quotes you present show a piece of prose intended to evoke a mood and set a scene. None of it feels forced, or thick, or unnecessary.

I think it really depends on your implementation. For readability, having a `UserStore` and `MessageStore` in one place might get to be troublesome, especially when it comes to separating out business logic. But that said, things like `Om`

Absolutely. At first I was excited that there was so much activity. Simultaneously, it intimidates many engineers I talk to because of how much fragmentation there is. Thankfully, the footprint of each framework is relatively small. I'

While your points are reasonably valid, I think it's missing one grander conclusion: the tools are simply that, tools. Above all else, it's what you make with them that matters. As an engineer, I might be interested in the impleme

All I want is a fast, functional Gmail. Any shine they want to put on it is fine by me.

Watching Veep right afterwards is a nice (and just as brilliant in other ways) contrast.

HN gets a lot of post about acquisitions and whatnot, but I feel this is probably one of the most important in recent memory. The implications of taking this talent into consumer robotics (or augmenting their presence in the defense communi

Probably, though the thermal shock might be a lot more exaggerated (hot-ass days, cold-ass nights). But the solar power mechanism would definitely be more viable in the desert.

Design note: that slider is awkward. There's no indication that it's moving until it hits a discrete point.

Nice idea. You should probably make it clear that it uses Google auth, though.

I had never been to SF before last summer. This building was right across from the bus I took home every day. And every day I wondered: what was in that windowless building? Never was it not an imposing sight. Even after I found out about t

I asked them about this in an interview. Simply put, they said that if you don't feel comfortable working on a project, you just say so, and get moved elsewhere.

"So the main reason to intern is to just become a better coder? Doubtful. Just to be completely blunt, the main reason college students intern is to have a secure job after graduation." False. 100%, completely and entirely, false. School is

Project decisions aren't binary. I'd assume that people that worked on Reader didn't work on this.

It gets testy around walls. My experience is that in a moderately-lit situation (or a low-lit one) the thing works pretty great.

I can't wait for this debacle to stop being news. Google cancelled a product. It let you read websites quickly. There are other ways to do it. Moving on...
