Docker doesn't even .. really fix the issue it claims / is-used-for. I think nix does that, but it's pure pain to use. But it does actually address IME the repro issues.

Hopefully they don't, good things must be hidden in this era of ours.

I have to say that there is a strong ngmi energy in this kind of obsession.

Why is there a new frontend-whatever-work / tool every week? Database stuff is fairly stable, so is backend stuff. Browser APIs seem stable to me too? Why can't you guys decide that this is how things are best done

We get taxed at 60%+ rates, have no energy and got trench warfare like it is the 1918. There's not much room for "innovation" in this hole.

Seems like a bonkers meme language.

New comment by oxff in "Ask HN: Should HN ban ChatGPT/generated responses?"

oxff — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 06:18:46 +0000

This is ultimately arbitrary restriction, as most can't tell if it is modal consciousness behind the response or CGPT; that is, why on earth would you not just ban the people who contribute nothing but CGPT-tier responses too?

Nothing beats the Jane Street one for programming / engineering. Some of them could be introductory lectures to a subject.

I think you just need a person with actual executive function to order the people to arrive to a given location at a given time once he hashes out the details. That is, I think your first ideal point is wrong. If these are 4 busy people their executive function might literally be gone after work week. They can only think in potato.

New comment by oxff in "Ask HN: Will AI put programmers our of work?"

oxff — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 10:57:28 +0000

(i) AI does not exist

(ii) already you can automate low hanging fruit with python + excel but its not done

It will increase their demand, if anything.

First developed country to enact anti anti-natalist policies (restricting birth control, strengthening marriage etc) to win; or you could just drive off the fertility cliff like lemmings with females all working or in edu until 45+.

Nothing to do with "fighting corruption" (or else a literal convicted felon wouldn't be head of ECB, - lol, lmao even) they just want to monitor you more.

I went through the previous version with Rust. It is almost entirely language agnostic. It could be in sign language.

Do not ever forget what was promised: Russia in rubble in two weeks from sanctions and Russia out of missiles in two weeks. This was the "negotiated" social contract upon which quality of life in other parts of Europe was thrown into a dog shit trash fire. These kinds of articles are just not-so subtle cover for the once again failure of leaders here, and moving the goalposts and rewriting of history.
