HN user
Trololo, super strange: I posted this and immediately got to your post. Assumed it’s some nifty mechanism to avoid double posting since we published the same URLs but you were a few minutes earlier than me. But apparently you could make your post despite the previous one you kindly linked to. Did we find a bug in HN??
Woke up to an email saying continue.dev has been acquired by Cursor. I was notified since I had some projects there and probably a few leftover credits. How were they acquired by Cursor, if Cursor itself was acquired by SpaceX only 2 days ago? Beats me.
(yes, the authors named it after themselves) The same way the AVL tree is named after its inventors - Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Evgenii Landis... Nothing peculiar about this imh
Running on the Meta Cognition Protocol server near you.

A sad name collision :/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2084:_The_End_of_the_World
A talk by Tom Sellek about producing 10x teams, not just 10x developers. This is not a C++ talk, it just took place there.
Oh, just let two instances chat with each other and either let me read the conversation logs or have them present me what they learned/came up with since I've last checked on them. And that would be the end of all it all.
I don't know about other places/communities - but in the Jewish Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) communities this is still in common use: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haredi_news_hotline
Author is very kind! In practice, many times I saw only the CR/CRU of CRUD getting implemented.
For example: as a company aspires to launch its product, one of the first features implemented in any system is to add a new user. But when the day comes when a customer leaves, suddenly you discover no one implemented off-boarding and cleanup of any sort.
what they're designing the software for
They are designing it to sell. Their potential buyers are sociopaths just like them. These buyers, in turn, will also not benefit from the software, but I do imagine it would sell nicely. SNAFU.
Very Beastie of them - like in Johnny Ryall where they rap on how the titular character is "better off drinkin’ than smokin’ the rocks".
Good that does not sustain itself is quite sad - you can see the efforts going down the drain. Aligning good and sustainable (utilitarian) is worthwhile imho.
I have a similar monitor at work. I find my adhd deals better with a single, wider monitor than with multiple monitors. That said, as I type, my keystrokes make the monitor shake. This is visibly irritating and I still haven't solved this issue. Looking at this monitor I'd sadly expect the same to happen.
I read a few titles from https://bossfightbooks.com/ . As it happens much, I read about games I did not actually play. It was a nice reading though. The Majora's Mask and Spelunky books were particularly sweet, and encouraged me to watch playthroughs of both games (which I still haven't played).
Looks pretty darn cool! Two questions please:
1. How does this compare to dbt? If we're already using dbt, why migrate?
2. Will you consider making a tool that tries to transpile SQL back to Hashquery models? This way I can work against my database, then merge the changes back to the model.
Good luck!
Did the Game of Life change anything in your world view? Your belief in god, or how you view society and societal changes? Even if the change is not rigorous or logical but something anecdotal that nonetheless changed your emotions, I'd be glad to hear about it.
In more practical terms, however, it steered the burgeoning Monkey Island franchise straight into a cul de sac with no obvious escape.
Without getting into (almost any specific) spoilers of the last 10 seconds of the game... this claim is completely untrue. The hint at a sequel is right there in the open, as the ending implies LeChuck is still at large.
Your and others' comments on this thread remind me of a though I had lately. In the "before times", you would buy things that would last. So naturally, the companies that made them could not sell new products.
Planned obsolescence was one natural outcome that we ended up with. An electrical engineers I know told me how designing a CPU that would last a lifetime is relatively easy compared to designing an equipment that will fail only 5 years from now, but not earlier.
I wonder if there was a way we could take the other path. Keep manufacturing solid, long lasting products but also being financially sound. Right now economy, to me, seems like a thing of perpetual growth, but in a cancer-like way.
Package visibility is actually one of the things I dislike the most about golang :(
Coming from Python, I got used to the "explicit is better than implicit" Zen. With "import *" being discouraged, usually when you see something in your Python code, you know exactly where it came from. When I started out with golang, seeing references to things that came out of nowhere (to my eyes) annoyed the hell out of me. I still consider this a cognitive burden.
I thought about this yesterday.
There is actually something very cute and personal about WhatsApp.
I would go to Telegram to get movies or some restricted (conspiracy?) news feeds.
Spam, payment notes, etc. come via regular Messages/SMS.
But when something comes via WhatsApp... Dunno, it just feels more personal from me. As if, it's someone I personally know or care about / involved with.
I think some of this magic is preserved just because it does not add any other features that dilate the original use case and how it makes one feel.
it's to break something
One of my university professors told me, during intro. to algorithms class, "some people understand things by building them, some by breaking them, and you are of the latter type". Nothing wrong about that, the way I see it!
