Thanks, my daughter loves it. She wanted me to tell you she's only 10 and got 2nd on the leaderboard.

Never understood why our industry seems unique in our willingness to do unpaid work for giant corps. Your compression library isn't saving the world, it's making it easier for amazon to save a few bucks. You have the right to be p

Alcohol temporarily helps but you pay it back with interest over time. It sounds trite but exercise and sleeping/eating better is really the only thing we have proof that works. (zoloft can help kickstart the changes but it won't

Exercise. It's the silver bullet.

Don't. Do you enjoy playing games or do you enjoying making games? If you enjoy playing games don't kill your hobby, if you enjoy making games I would expect you'd already have a ton of example projects you could show and dis

This completely made up series of conspiracy-laden comments is what HN is now ... well, that and people getting very confused about what free speech is.

How did this become the narrative? Wikileaks was started by the Russian secret service, so of course they wouldn't leak their own stuff. Assange was a useful idiot to them.

You're missing the point of VC funds. Due diligence doesn't matter, incompetence doesn't matter, reality doesn't matter. What matters is if they can turn their 1 dollar into 2. Doesn't matter if that requires breaki

Ding ding, winner winner chicken dinner. Quick reminder that we're on a VC board that has participated in this shell game; this fraud that has stolen money from naive people. And before I get downvoted to oblivion or moderated by @dang

I hope people read this and really understand what it says. It Crypto had any intrinsic value this paragraph would be ridiculous ... but it's not. At least tulips were pretty to look at.

You're on a board founded by a VC fund to market their investments, I would expect capitalists to be the majority here.

Giving out dangerous medical advice was on topic for the thread? Yes my comment was intentionally an attempt to derail a dangerous thread, it worked for a bit and I'm glad it did.

This thread is terrifying. No, covid boosters don’t cause MS. No, there isn’t a magical Mexican clinic that fixes everything. No, light isn’t going to cure you. Please stop giving out dangerous health info and stick to which JS framework is

Fair enough and you seem to be adding features fairly quick which is impressive to watch, but my point still stands. These benchmarks don't make me think Bun is fast, they make me think Bun is cheating in something they don't need

by jddil 4y ago
Not rigged at all. Just a joke of a microbenchmark trying to equate a toy with an actual runtime. Bun may be great someday, but right now it’s missing such basic functionality that any benchmark is a farce. Nobody cares that you can quickly

Miss? Russia is indiscriminately firing missiles into dense civilian areas for maximum terror. They did not miss.

Then say no to the meeting. And if you can't, find a job that treats you like an adult.

I wonder if anyone who upvoted this post actually tried it first. Be better HN, don't just upvote a post that matches your view of google.

No idea if this is you but the number of times I've seen an over eager employee (usually more junior but not always) think they've stumbled upon a great solution to a problem but really they were just missing some details is very

You're not nuts but you're viewing this the wrong way. You will be significantly happier if instead of working more to keep up on the hedonistic treadmill you do one of 2 things. 1) Get a raise. There should be 0 reason for a soft

No news adds benefits. It was designed and refined to trigger your outrage and voyeurism. Unless it's hyper local news (that mostly doesn't exist anymore) it's junk and will make your life worse.

You haven't actually described any of the unique parts of GraphQL though. Generating a typesafe API whose schema is defined in a single place is trivial with an OpenApi spec and a client generator What I've noticed is people get t

What? Server rendered content is infinitely more cacheable, maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying. In the boring old days we just did it all on the server and used the semantics of HTTP to handle caching ... it worked gre

The longer I do this the more I realize the part of engineering most of us enjoy is solving a problem in a novel way. Which means if left to their own devices engineers will recreate the entire tech stack every few years instead of using th

I'm glad the tide seems to be turning against GraphQL. Your company is not Facebook, you don't have an impossibly large graph dataset that needs querying I've used it 3 times, each time it was a nightmare. REST with some addi

It's a guild system in some countries to try and retain high wages. Engineer means, "Clever builder", how does that not describe software engineering?

In 2022 anyone that writes code is an engineer. Words change meaning.
