  1. And Peter Thiel is anagram for The Reptile.
  2. My guess is higher run totals.
  3. I find this dubious since the effect she was describing is caused by resonance frequency. Since, in the example provided, the source is an amplified speaker pushing air in both cases the outcome should be the same. The more famous test of this principle is the breaking of a glass and I would be surprised if this hadn't been done with digital signal inputs.
  4. We used to have a very nice option called Blackberry. Oh how I miss those phones.
  5. Dozens of microservices, oh one should be so lucky. Try hundreds where the complexity of the whole system rises non-linerarly as a function of each microservice.
  6. There is good content on the site. But it's nearly impossible to get in a convenient way with the UI options. I've glanced at their APIs and it looks possible to build some clients that presented only what you wanted in a chronological order, filterable by accounts but it would take work.
  7. 30 seconds for 100 files sounds horrible. Was this time including tests?
  8. Keyboard typing speed and compile times aren't really the bottle neck for the overwhelming majority of software engineers. For them these times are dwarfed by the time it takes Service Now access tickets to get fulfilled.
  9. Oh, the typical ones, like all this type checking is stifling and slowing me down.
  10. Weak/Dynamic vs. Strong/Static typing.

    I used to complain about the latter then I grew up.

  11. Are individual agents deployable on their own or does the entire "app" of agents need to be deployed as a single group? If individually deployable, what does this look like from a version control and a CI/CD perspective?
  12. Or just post a link to your blog article here and link to it at the end of your blog article with the label Comments. You filter for those with HN accounts instead of Bluesky accounts. As for rich content, words are enough IMHO.
  13. There have been reports of "road rage" like instances such as an elderly woman in Flagstaff AZ being assaulted for driving a Tesla. It's not clear cut in these cases what the motives were. However, there are many cases of destruction of personal property where the motives are crystal clear. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14556619/woke-key-t...
  14. The bookmarkable ability is secondary to the filter parameters meaning. Once I know the parameters and their meaning I dont need the bookmark. In fact, I'd probably need to title the bookmark as something close to the URL anyway to know what it was actually referring to.
  15. Complexity merchant... I like that.
  16. Good luck with that.
  17. I've been asking for quite some time what the fundamental difference is between BTC and BCH that would warrant such a price difference. I've not heard an answer that has satisfied me yet.
  18. It's why Alan Kay calls our industry a Cargo Cult and says it's much more akin to the fashion industry than engineering.
  19. In my experience REST is just a code word for a distributed glob of function calls which communicate via JSON. It's a development and maintenance nightmare.
  20. This is the canonical example I believe. The product is ~35 years old.

  21. Or it could be the Western Spin Doctors wishful thinking because of this

  22. What does this buy over all the other terminal emulators? I see why the component is in IDEs so the developer doesn't need to switch apps to get to the terminal. Now a full fledged JVM shell that supports most of the commands we come to expect in a shell and also has the JVM and it's whole ecosystem at its fingertips, that might be something.
  23. Yep, there are so many options one couldn't list them all. I spent the first 10 years of my career in defense contracting and got out because I didn't want to contribute at all to that. Since then I've worked for companies whose products are tangible and needed by everyone. The downside is, not being tech companies per se, you're not working on anything that will change the world. The upside is, your work generally helps the company provide needed products more efficiently.
  24. I'm getting on in years so I'm becoming progressively more ignorant on technical matters. But with respect to something like software development, what you've described sounds a lot like creating a detailed design or even pseudocode. Now I've never found typing to be the bottle neck in software development, even before modern IDEs, so I'm struggling to see where all the lift is meant to be with this tech.
  25. My two favorite characters of his were Budd and The Matadore.
  26. Misleading title as it's definitely not the first subscription based Social Network.
