I would never talk to anyone like this... I thought Linus was working on controlling his anger
Or maybe you have just gotten better after doing it for 20+ years? I can't imagine anything being easier than plain HTML and CSS
Very cool. And if you're interested in this sort of thing, I would recommend taking a look at remix.run as well. They go a bit farther and pull these concepts into a framework where it's straightforward to describe the client/server relationship in this style
Yep this has been my experience as well, and it has popped up more than I expected, honestly. And this is the type of thing to affect a team's productivity for months at a time since it requires taking action, and then finding a backfill, all before the team gets the support they need
Does anyone know if there is a straightforward way to implement logic for showing a screen saver like this in a basic website after X number of minutes without user interaction?
I can't find myself through some of these searches, even when adding parts of my name in quotes. I wonder how fuzzy these results are, specifically from GitHub
Thanks for posting this, I had never even realized I should be looking for this blog
Totally unrelated point to the person you're replying to
You're just proving their point -- these types of communities follow "Internet chat" trends which includes toxicity to literally everyone. Minorities are affected most by this dynamic. By moving the discussions "above ground", we force the discussions to use professional etiquette, and move the conversation closer to where it can have actual impact
The new things that become popular aren't strictly better than the things they replace. In many cases, it seems like the newness factor that makes it popular to people at all
For this to mean anything, you will have to make the claim that Fuchsia is more similar to Serenity OS than Android or any other full scale OS project. And if it truly is closer to the pet project, then that's not a good sign for a company like Google, who is paying X number of engineers to work on this
You will definitely run into more cold starts though, if that is a consideration for your project
Yeah this paper takes a heavily biased stance, even to the point of vilifying generally accepted and genuinely useful concepts like `return` statements. Not sure how the author can pretend that they are presenting any sort of analysis on the broad set of languages when they've already presupposed that everything besides their own language is wrong
If this was true, non-technical people would be stringing these together instead of using products that were created with the end user in mind
Yes they do this. I don't know if the other guy just hasn't seen it himself or what
This is used extensively in classrooms. Providing this standalone editor that "just works" is more appealing in such scenarios than asking students to use vscode with extensions
I mean that's the definition of the term "luddite" in our current understand of English. The only thing that could be labeled as propaganda is the application of the term to that movement
This sounds like good advice in theory, but if someone isn't even at the stage of knowing what they want to read, I don't think picking a significant book at face value is going to work out well. In fact, I bet it would probably end with a large majority of people reading the first 10 pages of Plato/Socrates/etc., getting confused by the utter lack of context, and giving up. That's what I did the first couple times I "tried to get into philosophy." It took me getting to undergrad philosophy classes to really "get it."
At the very least, if you're going to go for primary sources, find a guide or lecture to lead you through it. Of course primary sources are important to read in philosophy, but in my personal opinion, I would recommend going for an introductory text first and picking primary sources to read from there.
You might find AWS SAM CLI to be useful for packaging your code artifacts. I'm not sure if you've found this yet, but even so, it can be finnicky sometimes.
Particularly, the "sam build --use-container" command might be useful for simulating the Lambda environment

This is such an insightful comment. I find myself falling into the trap of complaining about things that are "broken" all the time too, but you're right: if you're on HN then you're not the customer that most companies are targeting.
It's nice that people do this because without it, we wouldn't have anything to do 90% of the job all the time. We need those last 10%ers
Why not just say that then
I'm interested in why you stuck "avoid on-call" in there. I'm about to start my first on-call rotation next month
I think taking the approach of "help[ing] your team make informed, data-driven decisions" through generating reports is valuable here. In my opinion, it goes too far if we start continuously deploying ML code like it's a SWE project. To take an example in the case of autonomous vehicles, pushing continuous updates to perception modules without thoroughly exploring the ramifications of an update could be potentially catastrophic.
Obviously we can't predict every error by thinking hard, but datasets will never serve as a full representation of what models might experience in the real world. Continuous deployment to an ML model could affect undefined behavior in unpredictable ways.
I agree, and I'm not sure why people are replying to you trying to help you. Your comment is a constructive critique on the link. By adding a bit more introduction, this tool could be made even more useful.
> If you need someone online to justify for you learning new things in your field you have probably already lost.
You can't learn everything though. You absolutely should contemplate whether something is worth learning before embarking on that process -- otherwise you fill your head with useless new things.
Nobody is saying that I need to learn COBOL to stay relevant in the job market today, even if that would be a new language for me.
What is your point here?
If you are saying that you need to practice and find methods that work for you after being taught by Messi, you could apply the same concept to thinking. Sports, like most other things, consist of both a theoretical and practical aspect. Getting Messi to teach you the theoretical side of the sport should not be seen as a replacement for practicing the sport itself, and the same can be said for thinking.
