Scandinavian are quite different between each others as well.
Re:GitHub Stacked PRs on Wednesday April 15, 2026 @03:41PM (#47784194)
Wouldn’t it be easier to do those as stacked PRs then?
Yeah, I’ve built many one-off scripts in my day, and these days they take 100x less time.
Not to mention it’s a topic most if not all people have an innate strong opinion about based on their lived experiences!
The books in Swedish primary school are tiny, no worries about that.
Sounds interesting! Any good sources on that subject? I find results pointing both against it and for it, but am not a psychologist.
Does any of these solutions work reliably for non-English languages? I’ve had a lot of issues trying to transcribe Swedish with all the products I’ve used so far.

It’s like instructing a toddler.

IRC never died.
Re:GPT-5.3-Codex on Thursday February 05, 2026 @04:05PM (#46905305)
It doesn’t have to be, really. Even if it could replace 30% of documentation and SO scrounging, that’s pretty valuable. Especially since you can offload that and go take a coffee.
Re:A website to destroy all websites on Thursday January 01, 2026 @05:06PM (#46458594)
Yet no mention of the real friction: buying a domain and getting hosting set up. There are a number of free alternatives out there but they are not well known by the public.
Re:Show HN: I rewrote my Mac Electron app in Rust on Thursday May 29, 2025 @06:50AM (#44124743)
I care, for sure. Electron apps have been better than tauri apps so far, from what I’ve used.
Re:Kirin demos "electric salt spoon" at CES on Saturday January 11, 2025 @05:52AM (#42664985)
Which?
CI providers should definitely start proxying PyPI with their own cache.
Visual iconography doesn't need to transmit the same ideas to different users, it's there to reduce space taken but still be identifiable to an experienced user of the tool.
Re:Was Rust Worth It? on Saturday October 28, 2023 @07:38AM (#38049028)
I would have needed this when I started learning Rust! All my early programs were object soups.
Re:Mypy 1.6 on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @12:08PM (#37917261)
Pyright doesn’t really support a lot of big libraries, like Django, so if you want to use them you’re out of luck.
Wow. In Sweden, ”frequent” would be every second year.
Why would in-office work lead to more burnout, as opposed to remote work? I’m thinking that remote work would be much more conducive to burnout - nothing to stop you working too long, no segregation between work environment and home…
Re:PRQL, Pipelined Relational Query Language on Tuesday July 25, 2023 @07:16PM (#36871048)
What made you think the goal is to not know SQL?
Re:PRQL, Pipelined Relational Query Language on Tuesday July 25, 2023 @07:10PM (#36871001)
What countless alternatives? I can’t think of many, and believe me, I’ve looked hard!
Re:PRQL, Pipelined Relational Query Language on Tuesday July 25, 2023 @06:58PM (#36870899)
It’s certainly not a feature. A lot of important SQL usage is ad-hoc queries, and they are more annoying to type than they should be.
Which area is it more expensive in, then?
Re:LazyVim on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @03:02AM (#36782951)
Just because it’s predefined doesn’t mean it’s suboptimal. On the contrary - anything I do myself likely has less about of thought and consideration from an officially published configuration.
Re:Taskfile: A Modern Alternative to Makefile on Sunday July 16, 2023 @04:26AM (#36744774)
I would take yaml and regular bash over long Makefile invocations every day.
Re:Taskfile: A Modern Alternative to Makefile on Sunday July 16, 2023 @04:24AM (#36744761)
Make doesn’t have any builtin —help for the list of user defined targets, and has a slightly wonky bespoke syntax of it’s own. So it’s quite natural to look for something that has those properties.
Re:What programming language has the most beautiful syntax? on Wednesday July 05, 2023 @11:33AM (#36601854)
Even though I prefer Python, I find Ruby can be very beautiful. Allowing ? and ! as part of variable and function names is very nice.
Plenty of other professions have these kind of best-practise recommendations that are not based on quantative data, so it’s likely something more universally human rather than a function of the profession’s age.
Re:Is ORM still an anti-pattern? on Thursday June 29, 2023 @07:01AM (#36518837)
Care to mention one or two? All the ones I’ve seen have been dismissed as ORMs by ORM-haters.
Re:Is ORM still an anti-pattern? on Thursday June 29, 2023 @04:03AM (#36517695)
But at that point, it’s no longer SQL, it’s something better. That seems like a very nice point in favor of Clickhouse! But then again, Clickhouse is not a RDBMS, right?
