This is delightful! What a nice and wholesome resource.
The story is that the writer is Orcaset, which is trying to sell you their own analysis tools.
And yet, the React/SSR infra has never gone down.
No they don't, human intelligence has the ability to form an internal model of itself, which allows it to "notice" its own mistakes and change.
We used to think that if a computer could play chess, it would be intelligent. Maybe back then they were also people saying "stop trying to draw lines, just admit it's intelligent!!" Good thing we didn't listen to them.…
Yeah that's the problem. Imagine trying to learn calculus as a top-down isometric 2D animated simulation. It doesn't make sense for the topic.
The fact the author thinks every topic can be fit onto a rollercoaster tycoon-style analogy leads me to think they do not actually understand these topics very well.
That's because you're trying to snarkily jump into a conversation you don't understand. User `flanked-evergl` is asking why do you need a whole new format for this instead of just using json. And the answer is because…
> So your argument is that no solution could satisfy your new requirement No, read my comment again. They could do it but it would absolutely destroy the responsiveness of the app.
Are you serious? Do you honestly think that I am talking about a schema for passing empty lists around? If you are passing around lists of structured objects, I need you to send me what those objects are supposed to…
And there you go, just `[]` is no longer valid, so you need a new format.
My new requirement is NOT physically impossible. I did not mean "immediately" as in "zero milliseconds", it meant strong read-after-write consistency. It makes facebook so slow and unscalable as to be unusable. Facebook…
Completely untrue. Every design can be destroyed by a single poorly-thought out requirement. I can take down Facebook's design just by saying "any edit must immediately be visible to all users".
"Quick scan"? It's a few paragraphs. You can't read a few paragraphs? What's the point of replying when you don't even know what you're replying to?
Your theory is that he found "very dark stuff" that is accessible to any MIT student? Schwartz didn't "hack" anything, he connected to their student network and downloaded articles that they had access to but the public…
Nobody expects the scroll behavior to be different on a webpage, so it's always a surprise when a page does something like this. Then, you have to learn to adapt to how it expects you to scroll so that you don't screw…
Look at the HN comments and you'll see many saying they don't get the point
The broader point is that percentages can be misleading, and are often because of that. It makes things sound better. But usually, the more accurate thing to do is use odds-notation ("1 in 50" instead of 98%).…
There is simple correctness but there are also second order effects to consider. How does this particular implementation allow you to grow, and in which directions? What does it prevent? If you don't already have an…
This is why I get worried about the hatred for income taxes. No, you want the government to want you to be richer. If all they raised was property taxes, then they don't care if you get priced out of your home, as long…
The setup may be simple, but what about the maintenance?
That was the fearmongering, which made no sense because advertisers can't put a dollar value on "the AI will kind of sort of mention you", and because every conversation needs an ad. If ChatGPT always snuck in a brand…
Using FizzBuzz as your proxy for "unreviewed code" is extremely misleading. It has practically no complexity, it's completely self-contained and easy to verify. In any codebase of even modest complexity, the challenge…
No, because they are not blindly passing on the briefing to the board. It's a starting point, and presumably they're going to tweak it.
How many documents can be used to prove your citizenship? How many times do people have to go back to the DMV because they forgot something or another? Now imagine that everyone has one shot to get that right on voting…
