If the lift is geometrically full of the (perhaps blended) mass of people, and race-dependent density is roughly similar, does it matter?

Agreed, the negativity here is quite wild. There are new power tools for our craft. People are experimenting and having fun with said power tools, and have interesting results that may be transferrable to $YOUR_PROJECT. Doing things just b

Curious but offtopic - are others also immediately suspicious of the content and quality because the readme is so obviously AI-written? What are ways you distinguish genuinely useful contributions on the sea of slop?

Only a 100 years — the whole history before that was working in the vicinity of a home, it does feel natural to return to that. Instead of anvils, we hit keyboards and instead of swords produce alignment, but either way it brings food to

On 2/ there is a safety point in having the grounding pin on all plugs, and it being longer than the live/neutral: in the socket side, the grounding pin opens up latches that block live/neutral, so kids can’t stick things int

I have thought of that as ‘n’ being the manageable threshold and the (uncontrolled) ‘+1’ the overflow creates the problems. Typically in terms of additional layers or iterations.. but i like your point and perhaps’n+1’ and ‘1+n’ mean differ

One fun mechanism I've been using for reducing html size is diffing (with some leniency) pages from same domain to exclude common parts (ie headers/footers). That preprocessing can be useful for any parsing mechanism..

Thanks, will look into it, looks promising

Awesome to hear! Looking forward to a launch -- the Waitlist form was too long to complete, need to take another LLM to fill that :)

Agreed there are several complexities but not sure which ‘this’ you mean - specifically updating selectors is one of the areas I had in mind earlier..

What I'd love to see is scraper builder that uses LLMs/'magic' to generate optimised scraping rules for any page, ie css selectors and processing rules mapped to output keys. So you can run scraping itself at low cost an

Agreed, it's curious the article never mentions sustainability or benefits of not having uncontrolled population growth, but uses negative language for the trend (collapse, doom, disappearing..)

Ask HN: Developers, do you use SDKs to integrate against REST APIs?

Clever! With bit of more complexity in generation, you can shave off good number of bytes by using shorter id's, I think? 3 characters per id in base36 should do, in reality even less on average, starting from #0. >100KB reduction?

One could abuse Kotlin to make almost this syntax valid. Something like: states.includes { +”VALID” || +”IN_PROGRESS” } Where statestype function ‘includes’ takes a lambda that’s run in states context and overrides plus operator for string

No dismissal intended! Was agreeing with you on the premise of a barrage of difficult situations (=‘fires’) in the job. The kinds of challenges you list are to be expected and normal business as usual, but imho doesn’t have to make the role

It’s certainly an unpredictable one, never know what new fires the next week brings, or when they set off a chain reaction pushing the whole team to the brink of despair. Being able to have mental boundaries and (this sounds cold) emotional

You’re right - it is not the job for everybody. Perhaps the perverse incentives pushing folks into management for career growth have contributed to lot of human-job misalignment and to this narrative of almost superhuman effort. In what I’v

It’s not wrong, but also checklist is not a practical way to approach this job, in my experience. All the listed activities (and we could list 50 more) are situational and should build to the needs of your job goals. It’s not a hard job and

Thank you! Really like Replicache though only used it for hobby projects so far, and enjoyed also the backend side of it (minimal and entirely in supabase stored functions, probably not prod ready). Hope the new approach is a great success

What does this mean for Replicache development, is the client-side codebase mostly shared and can expect continued updates, or more likely to replace the primary focus for you?
