> The described situation is an awful user experience Sure, the worst case scenario is. 99.9999% of the time, a transient error will actually just work on the first or second auto-retry and save your users the effort of…
This is trading a good developer experience for a bad user experience. There are situations where it makes sense to force manual retry, but there's no reason to apply one universal rule to all possible situations. Lack…
I want the freedom to not be surveilled for daring to go out in public. Get off your high horse.
Building from source is nowadays writing one sentence in a chat box. Your idea of extra work is either unbelievably lazy or perhaps outdated by a few years.
3 clicks to disable an adblocker on a financial website seems like a trivial price to pay for mental wellbeing and tens of hours of your life not watching video ads, but you do you.
> 1. I have had them subtly mess with websites I am working on and I probably wasted multiple hours troubleshooting an issue that wasn't an issue If your website is going to be used by people with an adblocker,…
msgpack, mold, and lld are a few other examples of exemplary software.
This is just my hypothesis, but I believe the language barrier is an issue. English is effectively a necessity for programming because real programming languages with ecoystems, error diagnostics, documentation, and…
The Japanese economy is not, in any sense, destroyed. It doesn't get the infinite exponential growth unhinged economists want, but life on the ground is stable, wealth inequality is low, cost of living is low, average…

For most of human history, children very much would appreciate inheriting crafted goods. The kind of rampant, commoditized consumerism where we routinely snub our noses at and throw away perfectly useful goods is a…
Fair enough. I think there is great value to using LLMs to assist in learning new hobbies, helping lessen the friction, and using them for research and learning. I just think it's sad if you let them replace your…

The "pragmatists" who get excited developing a prototype for a week before they realize they will never be able to ship something anyone else will use because each trivial change becomes exponentially more difficult for…
Yes. Every professional programmer should be able to read assembly. This culture of ignorance that has been fostered, as seen in sibling comments, is why Notepad now takes 10x as much memory as a full operating system…
This applies to the internet too. Tell people you liked their software. If you follow artists, leave comments telling them you liked their art. If you watch a Youtuber, leave a comment saying you liked their video. We…
"We don't want to take on the risk of working with a former Apple employee, who could potentially leak trade secrets and expose us to unwanted liability" is a very different statement than asserting that they were…
A class of skill issues that never manifested a few years ago but which now manifest 30 times a day on the front page of HN. Riiiiight.
Sony did succeed in building their incompatible rent-seeking fiefdom full of people writing software for it, it just took them another decade!
Can you show me one long-form investigative article from, let's say before 2020, that is nearly this dense with this BS? A single headline or a punchline here or there don't count; what makes it an LLM tell is that it's…
Your media literacy training can start with skimming headings. When every heading sounds like Buzzfeed clickbait, emphasizing and contrasting numbers with a sort of faux-punchiness to them, or overusing "the" to make…
At a certain point you need to develop your own media literacy. The article is literally dripping with Claudisms in every line.
I'm not saying Google doesn't have too much power, but I'm also not saying it isn't hilarious to see someone letting an OpenClaw instance go wild on their main e-mail account and rightfully get banned for spam.
