News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I don't see that as much better?
I work in Philly where this happened. I consider myself a pretty mild mannered person, but even I get an urge to kick these things while walking home during rush hour on busy sidewalks lol. They are mostly harmless though
Re:Proton's CEO Cancels AI 'Re-Interviews' on Friday October 30, 2026 @02:39PM (#50308343)
There are ways to communicate without being rude and treating people with respect.
If my CEO called me a loser for trying to enforce some level of quality, I would start looking for a new job immediately

If the models start buying up a bunch of pods and causing damage, couldn't those services just shut off their access?

Good read, I was so curious how this happened a few months ago

It may take awhile, but it ends by voting in political candidates that actually care about combatting greed and corruption again

If i'm looking at git history, the ticket number is the most useful piece of info to get more context on the changes for me
Re:Claude Code no longer included in Pro tier? on Tuesday April 21, 2026 @07:25PM (#47856217)
I paid for the annual Pro plan in January...I know this mentions new users right now, but is there a chance they just take Code away?!

It certainly benefits insiders that can bet on outcomes they directly control
Re:Ask HN: Is anyone else experiencing AI fatigue? on Friday March 20, 2026 @08:43AM (#47453745)
Also just generally worried about the mental health of engineers out there right now, with the rapidly changing processes, and the constant messaging that you may no longer have a job soon. Feel like I don't see many people talking about it.
This is all xenophobic nonsense

I'm a 100% lurker and it's such a nicer experience before any enshitification. It probably won't last forever, but no ads or spam, and simply seeing a feed of accounts I follow is all I want.
You can already see his negative effect based on the 2019 Samoan measles outbreak. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/15/rfk-jr-globa...
You seem to be implying politics/values are passed down from the parents, where at least anecdotally, it's often the exact opposite. Just as an example, the majority of people I know that grew up Catholic are now atheist.

I'm honestly shocked at the amount of pro-motion interpolation comments there are in here lol
there's a climate fiction book Ministry for the Future, that was alright, but the idea that stuck with me was that the billions of people who have yet to be born deserve to have an advocate in decisions that will directly effect them. Maybe unrealistic, but would be ideal
"Electrifying won't fully solve the problem, so don't bother" is also not particularly helpful
Re: on Monday June 26, 2023 @04:44PM (#36485583)
Man, I've coded a fair amount in my free time, and have even created a couple of money making side-projects, but I just can't grind leetcode no matter how often I try. That plus the rejection after doing long on-sites drains me for days afterwards. I've come to the conclusion that even though I may be missing out on those top salaries, FAANG just probably isn't for me
Re:Get Running with Couch to 5K on Sunday January 01, 2023 @12:39PM (#34208565)
I stopped wearing headphones while running when the pandemic started. I really don't think about much. It's become sort of meditative for me.

I imagine Tesla will be losing a lot of good employees in the near future if this is true

Woah, Fark still exists and looks almost exactly how I remember it 15 years ago

Write in Batman for all I care. There are still elections other than the presidential race that will arguably affect you more on a day-to-day basis.

Who says divorce is the expected outcome of marriage? What's the point of getting married if that's the person's mindset?

I'm really interested in trying this, but have little skateboarding experience. Is there a steep learning curve to riding one of these in a dense city?
Re:Pittsburgh as a Startup on Monday May 16, 2016 @02:27PM (#11708422)
But Philly has everyone's favorite company, Comcast! I think the city wage tax is a huge barrier for new tech companies from setting up here. The burbs around Philly aren't bad for jobs though
Re:Android Studio 2.0 Released on Thursday April 07, 2016 @02:12PM (#11449315)
Some of the apps I work on can only build on ARM, so the emulators were completely useless. Maybe it'll be better now!
Re:My Little Sister Taught Me How to “Snapchat Like the Teens” on Wednesday February 10, 2016 @04:15PM (#11076029)
I didn't get it until literally this past Sunday. I've always had it installed on my phone, and have maybe ~10 friends on it, but I never actually sent anything. I would occasionally receive a snapchat from my friend, I would chuckle, and that was the end of it.

This Sunday my wife took my phone and just took a silly picture of ourselves during the Super Bowl and sent it to everyone on my list. Within minutes, I was getting a response from pretty much everyone, some people I haven't even talked to in months, and it was fun and made us laugh! I had the dumbest epiphany of my life. It's really just a fast, dumb way to communicate. That's it. Maybe I'll actually use it more now
