Why are there an endless flood of comments like this on HN and other social media insisting that because there’s such high demand, it’s IMPOSSIBLE that these tech companies are overvalued and over leveraging debt. Reality is way more nuance

I'll be honest given the article title I was hoping for a detailed rant on the complex installation process that most Windows apps hide, but this was also a nice read. And as a user of Raycast they do indeed have a very nice installati

Go ahead and go live next to one then and show us how it's nothing but propaganda. Quite convenient how the same people trying to run roughshod over the others to get these bubble mania mausoleums built NEVER live near them but are HAP

I don’t have some grand theory on SO’s downfall. All I will say is that sometimes us programmers try to optimize every single thing in life and that’s simply not how humans work. SO tried to optimize the Q/A by eagerly rejecting repe

Been using it for half a year now in prod to collect sensor data from IoT devices. My only complaints are: 1) Memory usage is a bit high. We went with the AWS instance they recommended in the docs and even that went over our provisioned mem

It's clear the OC was using hyperbole but we're honestly not too far off. Just a few examples: - Sam Altman & Worldcoin collecting everyone's eyeball scan - Discord attempting to roll out worldwide age & id verificati

Supposedly humans have become “100x”™ more productive with these AI tools, but nowhere to be seen are the benefits for the wielders of said tools. Is your salary 100x higher? Are you able to spend more time with your family/friends ins

Why not Go? I don’t understand starting new backend projects in a JVM language when go exits and its both faster and simpler. People love to proclaim Java’s ability to handle “big data” but I have programs parsing TB of data daily in Go wit
