The Director of Photography on the movie is also an Australian!
I'm building something that has to share a pool of phone numbers for SMS between many businesses with many clients and the architecture I had planned out looks a lot like this - client gets assigned a phone number from…
All the apps i've worked on lately in Rails use GoodJob, which is a Postgres NOTIFY/LISTEN based queue system.
Startups generally _don't_ end up with better outcomes. Large companies stay stable, startups are volatile and often end in failure. Stability means removal of volatility, which means to stay stable they end up becoming…
I'm an software engineer with 17 years experience and I can't even get an interview at most places I put my resume in to.
When I choose priority delivery in Uber, I can see the driver go to the store, pick up my order and drive directly to my place. I also see the driver usually have 1-2 stops on the way if I don't select that. If there's…

Agree, but I don't see any mention of that in the article, so I don't have enough information to argue for that. I'm sure we can agree though that having 17-day decomposing plastics that don't contaminate with heat and…
> I don't think it's at all surprising that the injection of identity politics into the software industry has had a negative effect on quality. That's a pretty broad claim. This conference could be in response to a…
There's other tells, like this other top HN post right now tries to work around: https://wbenny.github.io/2025/06/29/i-made-my-vm-think-it-ha...
It's not a stance about the merits of AI generated code but about the legal status of it, in terms of who owns it and related concepts.
Seems like exactly one of their examples, or am I missing something? "Create a new image using image references" https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/image-generation#cre...
Yeah, this is interesting. You asked it to play geoguessr - and it played the game as a geoguessr player, by "guessing" the location, and responded like a player would. How much more truthful/accurate is it when you…

The people of Flint, MI were (and some still are!) forced to drink bottled water for years when their water was contaminated with lead. When you drink from publicly supplied water, you accept risks that can be much…
This isn't normal in Australia or New Zealand, at a national or a local scale. But you can't draw conclusions at a national scale from a local interaction, either way.
Do we send Social Security checks to everyone in the Social Security database?
I have a lot of data-heavy websites that are completely automated on Render. I don't need to care about them day to day. Render abstracts a lot of work away from me. Before this I used Heroku. Heroku basically filled…
The answer in formal education is probably somewhere in the middle. The stuff you learn shouldn't be obsolete by the time you graduate but at the same time they should be integrating new advancements sooner. The problem…
Accessibility is generally framed around providing accomodations to people with disabilities, but at its core it's about more people being able to access things they otherwise couldn't. By this metric we agree
okay i'm not going to read all that, I already read your whole post.
What advantages does this have over adding `.json` on the end of any reddit URL? Is there not a sizeable risk that Reddit will block you?
There's a full blown test suite for Ruby which the various implementations use: https://github.com/ruby/spec
I guess my point was that, with discipline, it's not a foregone conclusion that a Rails app is going to be a rats nest. The lows can be pretty low for sure. But it's one of the tradeoffs for the framework and one that…
