Some here are arguing that mechanisms used by LLM providers already derail the goal of "the very best, most precise words at every single decision point", therefore the author is misguided. The author has expressed a preference. A

I also suspect those who have decided to leave their employer will be more likely to create, maintain, and even keyword stuff the skills listed on their LinkedIn profile. This would be a poor proxy for real world skill level and their impac

And despite the click bait "billions wasted" headline, at no point does the article offer any information on the alleged billions wasted.

It's global news to me. Hello from Australia! Edit: Ah wait, I think I get what you mean. By "global news" you mean it's been deemed worthy of sharing to an international audience by media outlets, as opposed to a crowds

Argument from authority is a pernicious fallacy, and typically effective too. You were right to call it out. I must admit I overlooked the sarcasm, however.

The comments section gives me intense astroturfing vibes, especially the way it abruptly starts and stops between 2014. Edit: Although the negative comments stop too. Maybe people were just more passionate about yoghurt a decade ago.

> In a practical world this is an outrageously useless platitude. As an industry we went from treating engagement as an art form, to treating it as an optimisation problem. Along the way we got very, very good at it, at scale. While prof

While the analogy they offered may not be a good fit, I agree with the sentiment. My takeaway was not that addicts have zero agency or ability to help themselves, but that it's unethical to rely on this as the sole mechanism for minimi

See https://www.datastax.com/our-people/jonathan-ellis Wikipedia lists them as a founder. Perhaps their author bio is outdated, or Wikipedia is. Not sure about your friend.

Not the original commenter, but I have often been asked by non-technical colleagues to answer questions about a spreadsheet they've sourced from someone/somewhere else. "So-and-so shared this spreadsheet with me. Can you plea

I don't understand why there's so much negativity here. From my cursory perusal of the docs this looks like a simplified, vendor agnostic re-imaging of something like CDK, with cool tooling including visualisations and out-of-the-

My thoughts exactly. We don’t do LeetCode—our interviews are like regular dev work. Candidates get access to an existing codebase on Github complete with a DB, server, and client. Environments are Dockerized, and every interview's set

It must be that time of the year again: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Papers+We+Love Edit: Not meant as snark, just a playful observation of how often this is shared. Remains a worthy contribution to this day.

Why do you consider this to be a mistake? I've thought about this in the past, but can't really articulate my motivations, and in the end I haven't followed through. Some of my previous colleagues have fit into the gap betwee

Great overview with a minor nit-pick; it's Cross-Origin Resource Sharing rather than Request Sharing. It describes a server's willingness to share its resources across origins. The client's request isn't the thing be

For those using Java, it's also possible to achieve this using Testcontainers[0]. It's nice to have the test DB setup co-located with your test code, and if you're using JUnit it's really easy to manage and align the DB

If you're developing apps in containers, there are platforms that make it really simple to deploy. For example, Cloud Run (Google), Fargate (AWS), or Heroku. What the parent comment is suggesting is that building a platform like Cloud

It's probably fine, but reading about a single Postgres container in a Kubernetes cluster with backups to S3 gives me sweaty palms. I hope the author has fully tested their disaster recovery plan.

Also worth noting that it's a lot less resource hungry than the official Kubernetes distro. Kubernetes documentation recommends 2 CPUs and 2GB of RAM per node just to have enough left over to actually run any workloads. k3s is specific
