They dont want to build the next git they want to build the next Github. It will have one of those licenses where you can use it but not offer a managed service like the Elastic License

This article is just describing Clojure. The SUPER principals are describing the native natural way of writing Clojure, no category theory needed.

When Colorado passed the wage disclosure law and Digital Ocean decided not to hire in Colorado anymore despite being founded in Colorado is when I decided to never use them. I dont care if they eventually started hiring people in Colorado again.

Rust is cool but there is way too much dogma around its memory safety and static typing in general being a panacea. Most errors are not type errors. Two days after Cloudfare's little Rust hiccup that took the internet down for a day I saw people posting about Rust "if it compiles it runs".

When skiddies use other people's scripts to pop some outdated wordpress install they are absolutely are responsible for their actions. Same applies here.

My experience with flat structure is the most stubborn opinionated people end up making all the decisions because they dont budge and get to escape all responsibility for bad calls. Better to have a designated lead.

Excessive amounts of interviews is more likely they were not enthusiastic about him but didnt have anybody else better and were stringing him along until they found somebody else.

Way too much work having AI generate slop which gets dumped on a human reviewer to deal with. Maybe switch some of that effort into making better review tools.

If you have timeseries data TimescaleDB has this with continuous aggregates

HN is so prime to sockpuppet on because of its fairly low comment rate but high concentration of users who can make technology decisions at companies.

More evidence for my theory that the only reason Uber et al are able to exist is because they have an infinite supply of suckers signing up as drivers. Any McJob pays better now.

>Unless we're now ranking scientific discoveries based on whether or not they get a post every weekend on HN.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed there is a weekly (or more) post on what Fourier transform is.

New comment by lispisok in "Scala 3 slowed us down?"

lispisok — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 22:16:43 +0000

I tried getting into Scala several times and kept going back to Clojure. Unless you are into type system minigames Clojure has many of the things Scala advertises but without the dumptruck of Scala overhead and complexity. Another commenter briefly touched on this but it's a language made by academics for academics to play with language design. It was a little weird it blew up in industry for a while.

On linux mint I can get games to run but they run horribly. I wish I could figure out the issue because running most of my games on linux would be awesome

Anthropic doesnt have $50B to invest, even over multiple years, so who is really writing the checks?

In the US Mercedes Sprinter vans are used exclusively by very affluent people so it doesnt dilute the brand there.

There is none. Despite the less stable environment if you are Talent by far the best place to be is the US. If you are an ambitious entrepreneur by far the best place to be is the US.

We're back to using LOC as a productivity metric because LLMs are best at cranking out thousands of LOC really fast. Personal experience I had a colleague use Claude Code top create a PR consisting of a dozen files and thousands of line of code for something that could have been done in a couple hundred LOC in a single file.
