Discussing is obviously fine. But sometimes some innocent blog posts get criticised as if they claimed that they solved world hunger. They don't. They are often just some random thought in a rarely-read blog. Nobody…
It takes more than a few minutes, yes. But this one-time investment will prevent the next 10 migration-related bugs that he'll otherwise blog about. Grab some representative data from production and keep feeding that…

Tbf, it's not their fault it made it to the HN front page. Are we going to criticise every little innocent blog post just because somebody liked it, submitted it to HN and it got enough upvotes?
As a random US citizen, chances are high though that you voted Trump and are ok with all this nonsense. So, should be ok?
As a European who has lived in both countries I can only laugh at this. From our perspective, US and Canada are 99% identical, culturally.
"Receive messages on Signal via a simple API. Perfect for notifications and alerts." is not "how it works" but "how you use it". This is "hacker news". A hacker is typically interested in how something works (under the…
"... seeking the truth ..." Hahaha, ha ha, ha... Maybe more accurate to say "spreading my truth".
You built this? Would you like to comment what your future plans are? Your self-description is "entrepreneur love for automation". Is it fair to assume that if this takes off then you are planning to introduce paid…
That code-gen would be fantastic. I have commercial applications for this, so I'll keep an eye on your space.

It's the exact opposite of math. Math postulates a bunch of axioms and then studies what follows from them. Natural science observes the world and tries to retroactively discover what laws could describe what we're…
It's been there in programming from essentially the first day too. People skip the theory and just get hacking. Otherwise we'd all be writing Haskell now. Or rather we'd not be writing anything since a real compiler…
In my experience, even if people knew, they just don't care. Most people I talk to about this, tech and non-tech folk have an attitude with a.mix of "you can't escape this anyway, so might as well embrace it" and…

Prominent definitely. But researcher? Does he actually research anything? He just claims lots of things. He is half-way to being a fiction author, just that he would never acknowledge that.
That all may be the case. But these two arguments are working against each other. One is to work on a super low spec machine because things were really expensive and the tech scrap in Mexico at the time just didn't have…
Sure. Not common, but possible. Still 8x as much as what I responded to, and thereby even as an uncommon case an order of magnitude more. Further contributing to my point.
When somebody questions a description that by the face of it violates general sanity checks then you (and others reading along) can often contribute more to the discussion by providing the context in which it makes…
Excellent point. Why would a move a certain crowd likes be out of principle and when the tide turned and a move in the opposite direction happens suddenly be just opportunism? The more realistic/neutral interpretation…
Depends on the company. I've seen the opposite case were such a person was let go, much to everybody's relief. Some people had to clean up his mess, which was genius in the sense that it worked flawlessly, but nobody…
It's not just some govt. form. It's literally about using it as a reason to ban the world's largest news agency from govt. press briefings.
Whether a birth certificate for a same-sex couple in the IVF case mentions "mother" or the less ambiguous "inseminated person" is indeed fully inconsequential for the vast majority of the American public. Doesn't stop…
