At Microsoft, the recommendation is to use cheaper models for tasks that don't need frontier models. I personally use Lua and it's more than capable for complex problems.

There is no way they can re-write everything in Rust by 2030. No way. Even new projects are modern C++ at MSFT. Some teams are creating their Rust/C++ binding but that's a very small fraction.

I would love to. Unfortunately, half of my friends are on Instagram and the other half on WhatsApp. We are screwed.

Agreed. I live in Midwest and that's the same sentiment I am getting from the people. People voted to oppose illegal migration, not stopping legal migration. This November will be judgment day for this administration's policies.

GitHub is too important to fail, and they obviously can't fix their up-time problem. Shouldn't they open-source core and/or problematic components and ask for public to fix it? this is not sustainable. It's literally blocking development/productivity worldwide.

Awesome idea!

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!

I will vote in midterms. Enough is enough.

What about a spouse visa? It's insane. I just got married to my girlfriend, and she needs to go back to her home country and wait for years before getting a green card? It's crazy.

I'm an Iranian American. There is no Internet. Only people who work for the government have limited Internet. We can't call phone numbers in Iran. They can call our phone in the US (they will get a sms or call shortly after ending the call saying that we the government was monitoring the conversation) and these calls are very expensive for them. This situation is not sustainable. There are many businesses in Iran that rely on Internet. Millions of Iranian live outside of the country and haven't been able to talk to their family and friends. Not sure how long will this internet blockade will continue.

As an Iranian-American, I don't trust BBC. I'm sorry.

It's a circular logic. He elects people who elect him.

Again. I don't want a king. I want people not to die when they go protest. AM I ASKING TOO MUCH??

It seems like you are great at repeating propaganda points and don't actually live in Iran because otherwise you wouldn't have internet.

But the supreme leader elects the Guardian Council, and their memeber elect Assembly of Experts that elect the supreme leader :)

We have ChatGPT. We are not dumb. Stop the propaganda.

You think I am CIA/Mossad for asking people not to get killed when they protest? I expected HN community to be better. Shame.

I would like people not to get killed when they protest

I would like the internet not to get shut down during the protest

Am I asking too much?

I'm an Iranian and this protest is very different because it's not about a specific government policy ... It's about the totality of the regime. Unfortunately, government has been following the same old brutal playbook by killing protesters and cutting off the Internet.

Clicking on back button of my mouse starts an infinite loop.

It's DNS

Sorry, dumb question. Which book? I am curious about the book :)

what about postdocs and researcher at universities?

I think we will feel the impact of this in ~10 years. Not good.

How is it different from hangfire?

My manager at Microsoft, Dwayne Need. He is a principal engineer worthy of the title. I thought I knew C# very well before joining Microsoft ... turned out he was the person behind Windows Media Player.

Me too. I can't use anything other than Monaco.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but lambda model is when server responds then there shouldn't be a background task or any compute after that point otherwise how would lambda know when to stop or there wouldn't be a difference between lambda and VM.

I think we (hacker news community) can make a difference in dating industry by creating an open-source free to use dating app. Same quality as Hinge/Bumble but free of cost and free of algorithm manipulation. I have been thinking about it for a while. I am a software engineer but doing this requires a massive group effort. Maybe let's chat about it. amirhesamyan [at] gmail.com

In the Midwest city where I live, the price for a new apartment is almost or even more than a house in the suburbs. All these apartments usually end up empty or get rented out. Such a waste of money.

As a software engineer, PhD is worth it if you know what you are getting into. Especially now that job market is saturated, it definitely helps your career. It's a long journey but it's worth it if you know what you are doing.

I LOVE the idea. This helps a lot of people who want to make a dollar transaction but cannot just because they live in middle east. I am worried US government might come after you because this is essentially a way to get around banking system.
