astn-austin··on Launch HN: Sidekick (YC W23) – AI support bot for developers
What if the AI can pass the bar, such as GPT-4. When can we allow AI's to be legal experts?

Is WEF some sort of political party?
astn-austin··on More Americans are saying they’re ‘vaxxed and done’
That's like saying: the crotch rocket is based on internal combustion engines, that have been proven safe in multiple automobiles. So crotch rockets are safe because they use internal combustion engines. MRNA is the platform. You can do good and bad things with the same platform.

You should check out Apache Flink. It does a bunch of those things that Spark doesn't, though it's also missing a few things that Spark has. https://flink.apache.org/
astn-austin··on An API is a user interface
The way I read it was:

When you are programming against an API, you are using the interface. When you use an interface, you are a user. You are even the expected User from the API designers perspective. You are that API designers customer. In your job as the User of that API, you also have different customers you serve. But that doesn't mean you are no longer a User of the API. Because you are the user in this case, using an API, then that must mean your going to have a User Experience with that User Interface that just happens to be in a API.

astn-austin··on The Day AppGet Died
As far as being offended that they called it WinGet when you had a package manager called AppGet.

MS already had a "package manager" called OneGet. They also have a package manager called NuGet.

I don't see any issue with MS replacing OneGet with WinGet.

Or why the name WinGet offends AppGet, or AptGet, or OneGet, or NuGet, etc.

I think [name]Get is pretty common.

I don't get it. You open source something (make it public) so everyone can benefit in any way, inspiring, forking, extending, giving back, etc. Someone does so and your offended?

Hi all, long time reader.

Cheers!
