Depends on how one defines "socialist"
> Some of us still perceive that as a bad thing.
Then what's wrong with you? Look at other first world countries.
All this "socialism bad" bullshit needs to stop. It has no basis in reality.
But it is generally referred to as "creative non-fiction", and I agree it can often be overdone.
Whether or not the datacenters return on the investment is a different question.
(to be clear, I don't think the other poster is correct that having trains would satisfy the desire of the guy who wants a self-driving Rivian. I consider his want/need there to be fundamentally different)
Not to mention the ignorance in this thread of the basic fact that Muslim empires kept attacking and supplanting each other in South Asia, culminating in the Mughal defeat of another Muslim empire, which is exactly what this article describes. But instead of actually reading it, you'd rather bring naked biases and caricatures to the table.

no we won't lol wtf
but also: we will probably still have to do that anyways, but the LLM will help us and hopefully make it take less time
GPT-5.2 sometimes does this too. Opus-4.5 is the best at understanding what you actually want, though it is ofc not perfect.
Hmm really?
In the first couple episodes, he definitely is, but I think they level him out a bit later on so that the viewer actually ends up liking him.
In the books, he is much more consistently unlikable.
(Don't bother with the books, IMO--show is better while still hewing quite close to them).
Well, if you say so.
If you're a parent of a recent college grad who is on Hacker News, haven't you been in tech for some time? I would expect your perspective to include experience seeing at least a couple cycles of economic ups and downs.
> It’s Christmas and we aren’t celebrating. No decorations. No pretending things are okay. I’m completely shattered as a parent, mostly because I don’t have answers. I told her for years that merit would protect her. It didn’t.
This is pretty bonkers on multiple levels. IDK what your family's overall situation is, but based on what we can infer, your family is not in economic jeopardy. If I'm mistaken, then I apologize, but it seems you are just one of the many, many families with an unemployed recent college grad, and if you're positing on HN, I assume you and your wife are doing at least adequately.
I don't understand how you, as a grown man, could be under the illusion that "merit would protect her" or that somehow graduating from a good school guarantees someone anything, or how you could lack the perspective that this is temporary and less important than health, family, etc.
Nobody is above broader, universal developments and forces, whether economic vicissitudes or worse (war, societal collapse, etc.) Your arrogance in thinking that "merit" could protect an individual from these things is justly punished.
I also went to a top school, and there is also something to be said about your daughter's lack of resilience and naiveté here, but she's a ~22 year old girl, so that's acceptable. From you, this is not, IMO.
Your entire view of the world was mistaken and brittle, and reveals a stunning lack of value placed on things other than career and such, but the good news is that it's much better than you seem to be stuck thinking right now. Economies get good again, and your daughter is in a better position than many because she at least had one job and has a good CV.
> army, fight to defend their country (at least not as soldiers), and many other things.
In most places and times, didn't all men just get conscripted into war frequently?
> Running the house was hardly "brutal", neither did it consume "all waking hours until the day she died".
Why do you think it didn't consume all waking hours?
This is generally true, but Indonesia is neither
There's that, but there's also the developer experience and functionality for people to run it on Mac and Linux.
We have a small C# service that we run locally via Docker (which I think is usually the optimal setup anyways) and develop with VSCode. Since it's small, it has worked well. Would it work well if that was our main backend? Not sure.
Wish I had the option of full Visual Studio on Mac for it regardless.
You mean the situation where Israel didn't let journalists in and deliberately killed many that were there? Yeah, I bet that made it difficult.
Pro-Israel voices try to cite that as a massive contradiction, label such Jews as "self-hating", etc.
(I am not endorsing the initial comment in this thread)
> what message does this send to Hamas?
who cares? Israel has had a genocidal government for some time now that has, until very recently, only received positive reinforcement.
Which country are you in? Depending on which country and where you are within that country, maybe your vote could help
the "it doesn't have a UI library, and thus you are forced to write JS" criticism in particular feels odd to me. Given the reference to HTMX, I assume this person isn't building desktop apps, and in the web app world, TS/JS is by far the industry standard for the front-end
Damn really lol
What does it do then, just block "breaking" deletes?
