My guess is higher run totals.

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.

We used to have a very nice option called Blackberry. Oh how I miss those phones.

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.

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.

30 seconds for 100 files sounds horrible. Was this time including tests?

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.

Oh, the typical ones, like all this type checking is stifling and slowing me down.

Weak/Dynamic vs. Strong/Static typing.

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

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?

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.

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...

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.

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.
