I see a lot of biased posts on Hacker news regarding Bitcoin. How it will replace fiat, how it will revolutionize banking, how it will continue to go up in price. The fact is that the technology powering Bitcoin is not great. There are bett

Lol this costs more than a Xbox Series X or PS5 for comparison and with Xbox Game Pass you’re at same value as AirPods Max but with hours and hours of entertainment. This isn’t worth $550 probably $200-$300 around AirPods Pro price.

Why not telecom? This is dumb. Yes I get it Facebook did so e idiotic things I agree, but Telecoms are pillaging us everyday.

A lot of it is tied to the dog and pony show that is pre-med. You have 90% of the class interested in going to Medical/Dental school. So most students are NOT interested in the WHY but the How can I get an A.

Ok legit question, is Biden’s mental health an issue? (i.e. Dementia, Alzheimer’s). Surprised my family brings this up, and I’m not sure how to reply back to them..

So the kids grow up seeing their parents as just associates. Sounds healthy, what a great way to show your kids how intimacy, empathy, and a normal romantic relationship works.

This is for an internal app, makes sense that it worked out well for them because the internal app is mostly a greenfield project. Some resume padding and performance review check offs for those associated with the project, however this Kot

“I have no mouth and I must scream” basically but black hole edition. Wonder if it’s possible for some type of unique intelligence to live inside a black hole. There are lots of particles rushing towards the singularity and if there are “ho

This looks like the perfect example of I have a hammer so everything looks like a nail. Not needed, unnecessary, and most likely expensive (meaning will bloat up my server costs) :-)

As someone who’s been writing both iOS and Android apps for almost a decade now. This made me chuckle, the sheer absurdity of Android being the standard when Google can’t even ensure mass adoption for their latest releases is just too ironi

I mean you can say that for any language. If someone has to learn C or Java, you still need to learn how those languages work, build domain expertise and so on. Swift is a very nice general purpose language and I’ve been writing code decade

That’s not a problem with the language that’s just you not knowing how to use it, two very different things. Associated values with enums are very powerful features of the language.

Among us is nothing new it’s a rehash of an old Starcraft 1 map mod called “The Thing,” The idea was you had up to 8 marines and 1 was a zergling, stick together until the timer runs out to win. Fun times. I miss those days.

People are forgetting that the original Zenimax Studios is not exactly the most pro-gaming group of shareholders. Their original motivations were to increase shareholder value (I imagine that Fallout 76 decision was a factor among this). I

I would say still thinking too narrowly, some interesting science fictions novels had knowledge as a form of currency in some technocratic societies (The Omar ~> Deus Ex Invisible War) Not saying this is the best solution but again diffe

Even if this article is a satire peace, it’s extremely ignorant. What about the people that earned their keep as category one? For example I have friends who are refugees who now fit into bracket one. This article makes it seem like categor

I mean how big of a deal is this? UIPasteboard.general.string gives you access to what the user copied. I’m sure some apps are just trying to provide a better user experience... Example: they’ve copied a website make it easy for them to sha

Can someone address the argument of: Writing tests for everything (or almost everything) as proposed by TDD results in... more code to maintain. This is the argument most teams have had that I’ve observed which resulted in little to no test

Shift away from swiping based dating apps. Most people I’ve spoken to have all been infuriated over dating apps, and are now looking for alternatives. Big opportunity here
