One thing to keep in mind though is that "someone calls your public method" more often could be an agent, and that agent will try to explore the edge cases.

Tim Cook should do, or Donald Trump, either one should get you removed from the list quickly

A simple browser extension that makes reading comments pages like this one much easier: clearly marks new threads (and threads with new child comments) since last opened, and makes collapsing / uncollapsing threads easier and prettier: https://github.com/bachmitre/hacker-news-comments

This! Very interest in where this would lead.

Thanks, this is a good list to start. I will check those out!

100% agree, i've got that, but how can I make most of my 401K and mortgage (e.g. through Roth IRA or refinancing? I saw some mention of both, so will have to read up on that).

It looks like ChatGPT already knew that (or I skimmed too quickly):

Why was Roman concrete so durable?

Roman concrete, also known as opus caementicium, was a highly durable construction material used by the ancient Romans for a variety of structures, including aqueducts, bridges, and buildings. There are several factors that contributed to the durability of Roman concrete:

The use of lime and pozzolanic materials: Roman concrete was made from a mixture of lime, water, and an aggregate such as sand or crushed stone. The lime was derived from the heating of limestone, which produced a highly reactive form of calcium oxide. The Romans also added a pozzolanic material, such as volcanic ash, to the mixture, which improved the durability and strength of the concrete by reacting with the lime to form a cementitious material.

The inclusion of a reinforcement material: Roman concrete was often reinforced with a material such as iron or lead, which helped to increase its structural strength and resist cracking.

The use of a hydraulic setting process: Roman concrete was able to harden underwater due to its hydraulic setting properties, which allowed it to set and cure even in the presence of water.

The construction of thick, monolithic structures: Roman concrete was often used to build thick, monolithic structures such as walls and foundations, which were able to withstand the forces of nature and resist deterioration over time.

Overall, the combination of these factors made Roman concrete a highly durable construction material that has stood the test of time.

I second that

I think once you allow eating at the tables and have everyone hammering their keyboards (as opposed to mostly reading) there won't be much of a difference to an open office anymore

nice! i was contemplating creating something like this, will give it a try !

In my 25 years as a developer I have been sitting on both ends of a coding interview a good number of times. One thing I find coding interviews helpful for is to weed out people that apply for a specific job description (e.g. "looking for experienced python developer", who's resume shows 7 years of recent python experience, but that during a simple coding test have problems getting the syntax right.

Haha, agreed, also, in my 30 years of working in CS at more than a dozen different companies of all sizes in 3 different countries, never ever did anyone ask for my degree.

Exactly, at that point you let the AIs play against each other and go back to watch some TV. (or in the case of DALL-E, we won't be able to understand the concept/description space of the images anymore, let alone the images generated from it).

ok

How many requests can thttpd handle simultaneously, compared to, say nginx ? It's a moo point being small if you then have to instantiate multiple containers behind a load balancer to handle simultaneous requests.

Currently neither nor, but I used to teach unix systems administration in evening schools 20 years ago.. now I have children in middle / high school, and I wonder what tools are currently used in schools to teach programming

I like comments to be an "alternative" way to read the code , e.g. understanding the flow / logic solely by reading through the comments (and only having to look at the actual implementation / code when more details are needed).

This should come with pre-trained templates to create new templates via voice commands ;)
