I don't know about that. As in yes I agree but that seems to apply to Western countries in general. For example in Tunisia, people go to public baths at least once a week and part of that involves sitting in a hot steamy room for 30+ minutes. So here you have an example for a population that does use sauna (in a way) but aren't relying on self-reporting.

So you can find new way to terrorise the world? Right attitude but wrong application.

Ironic.

We're missing the other obvious problem, most of the content there is AI generated anyway. I personally posted a fake story generated by Chatgpt and even posted screenshots of that at the start of the post and yet, the post ended up on the frontpage...

> our civilization relies upon workers to shoulder the burden everyday.

Our civilization? Nah. Just that one shithole country. Greatest country in the world and they schedule a single guy to work both tower and ground frequencies at a major airport, it's almost like they're asking for this shit to happen.

And before anyone mentions understaffing, this literally one of the plethora of problems that the rest of the world figured out while the U.S. continues to act special.

Not to gatekeep things but if you think uv solved python dependency issues then you probably never had those issues in the first place and pip would have been enough for your use case. Conda on the other hand, with external binary dependencies, now we're talking.

Ask HN: How are you reviewing code at work these days?

curiousgal — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 19:31:47 +0000

With everyone using AI coding assistants, I am curious to know what policies people have implemented to deal with the influx of AI generated code? I am maintaining an internal library at work and as more people on the team gain access to Claude Code, I am wondering whether we should be highlighting/labelling AI code or not.

I can't help but find type hints in python to be..goofy? I have a colleague who has a substantial C++ background and now working in python, the code is just littered with TypeAlias, Generic, cast, long Unions etc.. this can't be the way..

This, honestly. Seeing all those billionaires on inauguration day lined up to kiss the ring was utterly pathetic. Like what is the fucking point of having billions of dollars if you're just going to be someone else's bitch. And for what? A couple more billion dollars. Oof

This is not meant as a personal attack but this has got to be the most naive thing I've read.

I hate it when people obfuscate the fact that organizations are not individual entities. Someone, or a group of people, decided to do this, not some faceless org. Some had to greenlight this.

Semi tangent but I am curious. for those with more experience in python, do you just pass around generic Pandas Dataframes or do you parse each row into an object and write logic that manipulates those instead?

What? Their economy is highly dependent on fossil fuel exports. Just because the oil is being burned somewhere else does not absolve them from having dug it up in the first place. Everyone is living on the same planet

My point is that whatever is working for them is not even remotely applicable to 90% of the other countries. They are better than Saudi Arabia and other rich countries, but that's about it.
