Three points: (1) I don't think this is the reason it did not work. There are lots of things that make you look like a dork -- PCs, airpods etc -- but they took off like rocketships (speaking as someone who adopted these dork items who

This is not a criticism of Blitz which looks fine. From what I can see, it is better than fine. However, this reminds me of the early Rails (or even Rails 4.0) demos that I saw where they build a blog in 5 minutes. Here is the thing: The fa

Not directly relevant but it got me thinking: Has anyone tried to use the source code and white paper to figure out who Satoshi Nakamoto might be? If you can figure it out from binaries, surely there is a lot more info. And you have the git

Zen Koan: Before I began my studies in Zen, I thought a tree was a tree and a stone, a stone. When I started to study Zen, I could see that a tree was not a tree, and a stone was not a stone. Now that I am a Zen master, I know that a tree i

The issue isn't the tool to get your blog up, but hosting it. The real solution will be a super easy app that lets you push the blog out to: - git* pages - digital ocean/vultr/aws/wherever - netlify/forestry as an a

The point is, this was not meant to be advice! This was anti-advice. You can't use the criterion: if it is insightful it has to be actionable on an insight that says "I have no actions for you". The difference is, it is not t

Note: you had to be kind and nice enough for the former boss to care enough to: - ask you to email - read it and understand what you do - follow up and spend the company's money edit: simplicity

The things that you think are going to take a long time will take a short time and the things you think will take a short time will take long. So, for instance, if you have 4 hours scheduled to implement some neural network to optimize X, i

This looks great so far. Eager to hear from all the people who are going to point out the other platforms that are similar so I can learn about them too.

You’re right.

So you’re saying it great practice! Do a study on the survival rate of the average AngelList offer. I didn’t say penny stocks. You can try names you know and like: SMAR, SSTI, PS, etc

Have you considered getting your start by investing in micro cap tech stocks? The transaction is much easier. You get all the risk of total wipe out you may crave. But most importantly you get a lot more information and that might help you

Huh? This seems like a non-sequitur. What does leaving in 2 years have to do with your worth this year? How many years would he have to stay to pay off this year? By that logic hires are bad deals if they ever eventually leave because you &

You're looking at it the wrong way (i think). The point is not that he is starving, or that he is desperate. The point of that number is what he gave up! The point is he gave up a job of 0.5 million, potentially 1 million in a few year

confused as to why someone who owns a lot of shares would want to take a "big risk" "without reason" during "normal times." Wouldn't a person with a lot of stock not want to take a big risk without reason

The comment:code ratio is higher than anything I write or that I’ve seen. However, it does give me some comfort. When it’s not gamed, do other HNers also feel that a high comment:code ratio probably indicates quality? There are reasons why

I just assume that, in order to qualify as an exaggeration joke, it had to be both an exaggeration and a joke.

Rockstars are definitely a thing in real life. They may have long hair or tight clothes. They sing or play instruments and are often surrounded by fans. Unfortunately I’ve never seen one involved in computers.

There is also another issue with “just works” and meeting specs: specs are almost universally under constrained. I might describe an admin interface in terms of what it controls but implicitly I want large choice sets to have search functio

IMHO the big cultural difference between the sub continent and the US is an emphasis on a particular notion of being “practical” over what I would call a particular notion of being “smart.” I assume you are familiar with the particular noti

Sounds like you can get the results of a premade and trained TF model, but you can't build your own model or train it.

Is there discovery on Facebook? Most people I add because I meet them in read life. Actually, 100% of the people I add on FB after I've met them in real life. Maybe if there was a good search and easy add mechanism for people I've

So one simple way to solve the scala and excel issue is just to match for the space at the end or punctuation. So search for "scala " and "scala." instead of "scala". Same for "excel " and "excel

Tech support issues on HN are like the tech equivalent of putting up medical bills in a newspaper. The situation is so unfair and one is so powerless, that the best way to resolve it is to get dozens of other people involved. This is probab
