Sand Hill Road is a road in the SF bay area where a lot of VC firms have headquarters. People use "Sand Hill Road" to refer to the SF VC industry the same way people use "Wall Street" to refer to NYC based finance. I&#x2

Has Oxide released any information on the price range of one of their machines? I assume if they're targeting mid-size enterprises it would be outside what I would consider buying for hobby use, but it would be sweet in the future if t

I always thought names like "180 nosegrind" made no sense. Why not "180 switch 5-0"? That seems so much more intuitive. It made so much more sense when I learned a lot of these tricks were first invented in the 1980&#x27

In general I find I'm productive in Rust; however, I do agree that there are some features that produce more confusion and debugging than others. For me it seems to be async and dynamic dispatch that are tricky.

I've observed that large corporations are also quite capable of bureaucracy. Although I've never worked in public sector so I can't make a cross comparison.

I could not agree more. Additionally, if you are going to use a QR code and web page as opposed to a physical menu, there's no shame in just statically hosting a PDF of your menu. It's so frustrating that some bars/restaurant

I think Beej's Guide to Network Programming is IMO hands down the best resource I've come across: https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ It also doubles as a very great introduction to C, if that something you&#x2

What I'm seeing is a lean (at least in large companies) to offering more associate choice towards WFH/office going forward. If there are natural skews in terms of which populations will gravitate towards each option, what are the

I've absolutely loathed working from my makeshift bedroom office for over a year. I rent a townhouse with multiple roommates, and there simply isn't communal space to accommodate everyone setting up their own personal office. My p

I admit I sometimes use google search as a spell check that's a simple Ctrl + T away. I'm not proud, but it's so simple to access when you're already in the browser.

Is there any thought to including a default executor in the standard library? I think it's kind of an obstacle for beginners when the language/stdlib provide all the tools to write async code, but not to run it. I saw discussed in

I think that consideration of libraries is a good point, I didn't initially consider, and especially relevant for Python. I think the one connection I'd make back to my original point is that perhaps python becoming the defacto in

I can't help but feel like if you want static typing, you're better off recognizing that python is not the right tool for the job. Admittedly I've never done serious work with mypy (or typescript), so I'm approaching the

I think it would be really cool if there was a VS code extension where you could embed dot graphs in your .md file within a triple back tick block. Then when you hit the preview button, it automatically renders it. Something like this: htt

If this is made for a quick, tongue-in-cheek laugh I think it's pretty harmless and kind of funny. If this is posited as actual guidance for interpersonal communication, run.

I think the value of calming down is normally to not send impolite or passive aggressive communications. I don't have so much experience interacting with recruiters/hiring managers. However, every time I've let some frustrati

I spend more the 1-2 hours a day in "ceremonies". Today we had a meeting to discuss the pervasiveness of meetings. The irony was palpable.

Hey just FYI, when you run the hackernews and explore examples without enabling the tokio feature flag, you get compilation errors about undeclared types for all the tokio stuff. I think these examples just need entires in the Cargo.toml re

Any old skateboarders here on HN? I remember when Lakai Fully Flared came out, it felt like a crescendo in skateboarding, and IMO lived up it. The Mike Mo switch kickflip + napalm explosion was seared into my 13 year old brain forever: htt

For the simplest of communications, like an IM or short email, maybe using checklist rules does impart more good than bad. But I think in larger writing pieces, including those technical in nature, these rules produce low quality writing. I
