Re:LeetCode is the best way to learn a new language on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @05:52AM (#48473907)
I think that's only proper when you have basic understanding of the language. I don't think it is proper to read full c++ doc if you don't even know what is ptr

Re:Show HN: My Private GitHub on Postgres on Friday May 01, 2026 @02:53PM (#47978591)
Great idea

Ask HN: In the age of AI do we need to learn how to code?

First off i am a software engineer. I had been a developer with C and Rust. In the old days we have to learn a lot a bout these languages even assembly. My days we only focus on C while still have to touch assembly a bit. I saw my frd's kid in college only learning python and a little bit C. I feel like after LLM and ai coding in the future people will skip the C. While I doubt and consider it...

I think if you can build an AI to identify AI-generated text, you could actually create a billion-dollar business.
Re:Delve Removed from Y Combinator on Saturday April 04, 2026 @02:02AM (#47636294)
lol strongly agree it is just cherry on top. In big tech they also copy but just copy in a smart way so I don't believe that's the reason they got removed.
Err, yeah, you should neither do any web scraping without respecting robots.txt, nor use ad blockers when using Google. When working with a business, never use Google Docs without paying them. Nah, that's not how the world works and at least not in the software industry.
It can save tons of tokens compared with screen capture or reading the HTML directly. The downside is that we are still not able to handle complex JavaScript and CAPTCHA checks.
ICIC. Indeed, our next step after completing all the JS rendering would be to pretend to be human, i.e., pass the CAPTCHA. Of course, we have to respect robots.txt."
3 differences:

1. I use the MIT license, so you don't have to pay. Lightpanda requires payment if you use it for business. :)

2. I use Rust to try to further optimize.

3. Lightpanda isn't in Markdown format; it's more like a curl format.
