I was a heavy Quora user from 2014 to 2019 with fairly many answers and questions. In 2019 they essentially blocked website for mobile users and urged them to download the app. That's when I deci…

Wait you mean Kanban boards are not Todo lists?

And that's (almost) as wrong as saying BSD is not Unix

I can't think of any logical reason to exclude ChromeOS and count it separately,and a good portion of the "Unknown" category may as well be Linux. The "real" number shouldn&#x…

I will die with the crushing embarrassment of not being able describe what a monad is, despite being a so-called (and apparently fake) programmer since the age of 10.

Web shell is probably not the name you want this tool be known as... That aside, does it automatically block connection from anywhere other than localhost?

Nice work. It seems I cannot open stl files in it, right?

I understand your point. But in my hypothetical model, the paying entity (the customer) does not have an incentive in manipulating the search results, and the search is still optimised (only) for rele…

Now that the AI overlords demand more and more training data, maybe we will start "paying" by annotating some unit of information, aka Captcha-style.

Convincing any one of those 50k people to ditch a free product for a paid one is a miracle by itself. Congrats to Kagi! However, is there really no other model than these two, i.e. being 100% the prod…

It's your understanding of what I wrote, not what I meant and far from it.

Why would I have a problem calling that guy a sandwich engineer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_engineer …

I understand your point, but don't we already have e.g. AWS engineers? Or I believe SAP/Tableau/.. engineers?

As nobody mentioned before, Java has had JBang for a while now: https://www.jbang.dev/

Hi! Does it have to be a legally incorporated company?

I agree with your opinion on WSL. I psy a similar "tax" when I defend ChromeOS, and I will not stop it, like you won't. The Linux on Desktop is finally approaching, in more than one &qu…

Sure. So maybe notehr comment would be to make it (particularly the Series class), as compatible with Java Streams as possible. Next step would likely be compatibility with popular libraries such as A…

Does Polars have a Java library?

Yes. It has bothered me for a long time too. Maybe the best mix is a dataframe library with basic operations (column select, non-null etc), which also allows SQL for more complex stuff?

I have heard it about the situation in 1995, but it probably also holds to a good extent now: You appreciate Java (only) after you have experienced/experience other languages.

I'm following them since their first mention in HN in 2023, particularly for Wasm support in compilation. Still not much output, unfortunately.

Hopefully PEP-723 and uv will alleviate this.

It seems string typing is not as bad an anti-pattern as it used to be :) It will be a very impactful work; I'm excited to see. Probably even a 1% improvement in String::hashCode will have an impa…

Then what to do about this cost center vs profit center thing?

"..leveraging advancements in generative AI.." Given their history in "marketing", I'm not even sure what it means or whether to take it seriously :/ By the way, 148 new …

You may want to change the name and be careful about any reference to that game. Otherwise the copyright(/trademark?) owner will come for you, unfortunately.

I'm not a purist, but working with SQL as a case insensitive but otherwise great and very useful language seems to be really annoying and "shaky", especially when you have interface it …

But hasn't Coder.com[0] built a business around exactly that? [0] https://github.com/coder/code-server
