I'm going to straight up disagree that open source communities should use Discord. Michael Greer lists a lot of great advantages over Slack, but that is not sufficient. In particular I think open…

i have very little doubt that the eponymous Scott would not mind. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :)

yes and its $11.77 now (up 2%) this is not in the same league but i recall AMD/INTC also traded up on the spectre/meltdown debate. a lot of insecure chips ironically leads to a lot of deman…

i always find the importance of these disclaimers blown way out of proportion to their probable economic impact. AMD shares are -up- 2% right now, for a presumably negative piece of news. the stock ma…

HN readers regularly miss the point of Ben's posts. I admit I'm a bit of a fanboy but sometimes I wonder if this audience just doesn't "get" Stratechery. Ben doesn't real…

i rather they be combined. I know they are different but one is the successor of the other.

you mostly predownload them over wifi. you listen during commute, driving or otherwise. yes you can pay attention while cooking, just depends if you can multitask.

Reminds me of https://tldrlegal.com , but i guess this has an AI component

ah a perfect chance to get some Prettier+Typescript help! I am using Prettier+Typescript+React and when I do methods within classes, Prettier adds a semicolon for me at the end of each class which `ts…

commenters seem to be missing the sentence about "Florida doesn’t have the authority to adopt daylight saving time year-round." this is just state politicians being state politicians. Nothin…

sigh. well i hope the support is good.

just commenting to thank you for a very accessible assessment of a simple question "is the hype warranted". please do more of these on HN (or elsewhere!)

i completed the andrew ng course recently, and felt that the difficulty dropped a lot in the second half of the course (for example, he stops giving homeworks). im hoping for more in his new DL course…

typo in the title - its Abramov not Ambramov It's interesting that Lin Clark basically demoed Time Slicing a -year- ago at ReactConf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCuYPiUIONs …

writing about high level tech and strategy is an art form. you probably want to see deeper detail, more in depth examples? me too. but although he isn't saying much of anything to you, (and somet…

spotify seems to have a few professional scrum masters and it seems to work for them. I'm less interested in typical cynicism and more interested in how this gets done -well-. Any spotifier'…

ah i was thinking of making something like this but never did anything. i would have called it Hacker Olds :) well done!
comment
ok and more stupid questions please: - the proving launch mass is only the mass of a Tesla? i mean thats great but i would have expected a much bigger mass for a fully functional satellite. but then a…

>They will need to have an IPO or they are expecting to raise Uber level funds. neither is possible with no revenue or only dev-kit revenue. you are overlooking the third option: do an ICO.

i am somewhat bemused that this got 38 upvotes in 16 minutes. i have no idea how hacker news' new page works.
