News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I mostly agree. good things often have to buy attention just to be found. I am very suspicious of things that pay for it attention continuously. The extreme influencers have their entire life become adspace.The gross part is its dressed up like a friend telling you about their day.

this one food guy i follow really loves eating out. and this might be the only way he can afford to do it every day. but the entire setup rewards never saying anything negative.. so i can't ever take his recommendations seriously.

Re:Cartesian – AI 3D Modeling for Design on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @12:21PM (#49714888)
Looking at a bunch of these: I don't think they are even manufacturable. This is something you would use in a video game.
how exactly do you decide which neurons to stimulate? dopamine connections are enough to get it to solve problems?
This is something that Chinese models like Kimi/GLM will never care about. These kind of limitations along with the cyber-program nonsense is exactly why people will avoid OpenAI/Anthropic in the future.
Windows COM is super weird and way over engineered.

> They may view an instructor as an opponent standing in the way of the grade they want. And they see “getting the right answers” as the goal of education because that’s how you secure that grade. But that’s no more true than thinking that logging a count of reps is the goal of bodybuilding.

The author is essentially saying "you're doing education wrong" to students who never signed up for the author's version of what education is for. Students are making a rational economic calculation: they need a degree to get a job.

Re:Tell HN: Amazon has deactivated my seller account on Wednesday January 21, 2026 @01:38PM (#46709633)
I think people would be surprised what is on the internal seller forums. There is really like a huge amount of issues that Amazon fails to help with. Literally everything from onboarding to protecting sellers from refund scams.

I suspect big sellers must have dedicated account managers

Make sure you pre-allocate a buffer that is short and stout
Re:How to make smaller C and C++ binaries on Sunday May 07, 2023 @03:46PM (#35854937)
Why is avoiding STL bad advice? Lack of problem solving skills? You could survive with LIST_ENTRY and UNICODE_STRING-type structures.
Re:Modern C for C++ Peeps on Saturday January 07, 2023 @05:04PM (#34293405)
What's the point of this? Just use an int.

typedef struct { int val; } meters_t;

Sounds like they are being more than reasonable.

Re:Why aren't there C conferences? (2018) on Friday August 26, 2022 @02:32PM (#32611078)
There is nothing stopping you from storing size of the string. See: UNICODE_STRING

This is a silly argument.

This is very nice. Looks like you have a lot of experience with Qt.

Searchcode looks great. Wish it had a recently indexed sorter.
This only applies to Asia. Nobody gets sued for cheating in US/UK/Can. Cheat sellers being the exception.
