This rules

People like sdiehl and molly white are getting 100x their normal engagement sharing unresearched crypto hitpieces in the same way NFT bros are making 3 mill for a low effort monkey picture. its just the thing that all these people attach themselves to right now.

"NFT is literally identical to the original" Youre so close here! Literally identical except for the fact that people are willing to pay millions of dollars for one, and not the other! Perhaps there is something else that makes them different too.....

"A lot of us older grizzled engineers came from an open source culture that, at least aspirationally, built software around ideas of abundance, post-scarcity, universal access, and equality"

I can't square this type of thinking with actual analysis. Some tech bro is making $225k arbing AVAX every day? I can literally go and check out his contract on chain. I can deploy it myself! How is that anything but abundance, universal access, and equality?

TBH if you check out this guys tweets its like 70% crypto stuff, but anti crypto. I think he found his social echo chamber and is exulting in the attention.

I grew up hearing 6 months expenses liquid cash on hand at all times

> Well, yes, in the end it's just art critique. But even that should be a topic that you can discuss without being labeled as chauvinist the moment you disagree.

Wow, it sounds like perhaps you have been called a chauvinist for expressing these same opinions before! Perhaps instead of blocking out that critique you can meditate on it. To be honest, you are hitting all of their talking points.

Can you imagine that perhaps there are factors that make a man killing and torturing a man different from a man killing and torturing a woman? Surely you can, sexual dimorphism is a thing! What if I told you there is a type of sexual dimorphism that exists in society wherein women are treated entirely differently than men?

In fact, what if equality didn't mean murdering an equal number of men and women in video games, and instead that is just a silly distraction? I promise you no serious people are discussing the ratio of sexes killed in video games to do anything impactful.

Reddit is full of these patterns in order to drive users from mobile web to app. Reddit mobile web really sets the bar for user-hostile UI in my opinion.

> Government spending is almost entirely leveraged by debt and these documents prove that these "ultra-rich" pay a large absolute dollar amount of taxes (albeit lower than 30%). That is factually non-zero

These are such non points. Who cares about the absolute amount? We measure it in points for a reason, and the effective number of points the ultra rich pay is <1, while I pay ~25. You can't denormalize that away.

" In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks" from the very study you posted.

" In theory, transmission should be reduced the most if both infected members and other contacts wear masks"

Wish you had read the studies you posted

> worth the time

is completely relative to the observer. a piece of shitty fabric over your face won't stop n95 levels of transmission but it is better than nothing. To some of us, it's "worth the time" to be less likely to spread even if by a very small margin.

I'm sure you can understand the context and I'm sure that the point you are insistent on inserting is not novel information to any readers of this thread.

Amjad is incredibly unprofessional. Years ago I worked in ed-tech and one of our sales reps replied to a tweet, from a Replit user complaining about some feature on Replit. Amjad damn near bit his head off and said some really nasty things to him. My coworker was this meek religious dude honestly trying to just send a teacher a helpful link. I personally would never work there and have steered several great engineers I know away.

Edit: Amjad has been tweeting a ton of stuff along the lines of "oh you can be too popular on HN, hivemind bad" so expect to see him pull up the blinders and act like the world is crazy if he ever sees this. Amjad, you treat people poorly.

Can we just remove this? It's an abstract for this guys motivational book. We get that taking your hand off your penis allowed you to do something with your life. Good content for other teenagers maybe?

> see it turn into a 3rd world country in a matter of years

This is just a wild thing to claim.

"What novel tools are you using to write web sites/apps?" ??? is that not the prompt

What a fucking loser posts his own blog then adds the site be posted to to a 'cesspools' blocker because he is so entrenched in being hateful

You can do anything! You are so powerful. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

> As someone who has thousands of tabs open

This behavior always confuses me. To what end? Have you ever derived any value from a tab you chose not to close?

No worries at all, would love to! I am available anytime Wed-Fri. I can reach back out via email as well if that makes scheduling easier.

Hello! Emails to work@supabase are getting kicked back. I've been working on something similar for hobby use @ apime.dev since the pandemic started and would love to chat :).

Looks like the main difference is docker compose compatibility but admittedly I have more reading to do. Still tho that is a good difference! I have multiple caprover nodes in prod for hobby stuff so absolutely not knocking it.

Agreed. Map performance especially on native is night and day -- 60fps smooth scrolling even with React Native, vs choppy shitiness on the web.

When it works, it works. Myself and a friend started learning programming at the same time, both with the goal of switching careers. I worked in tech in sales, he had a job translating subtitles. He did a bootcamp, I taught myself. I'm finally on my first job as a SWE at a tiny startup with no funding, making a little less than I was in sales. He has been promoted 3 times to engineering manager at a well established international company with $xx,xxx,xxx in funding, and just bought a house. Maybe don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

The author seems to miss the boat super hard on

> 6. "Everyone Should Learn to Code"

Her argument seems to be that teaching more kids to code, will result in more people ending up in a toxic tech industry. This may be true. But the tech industry will never, ever change until we expose more kids to engineering as a choice. If we can cause a greater number and diversity of children and young adults to consider engineering as a career, the industry will be more diverse. this seems like a bit of a no-brainer.

Also the reaction to the Hour of Code makes me question whether or not the author has every lead or observed one in a meaningful way. Having led literally hundreds, almost every single one that I was involved with resulted in at least one student saying "I didn't think that this was for me / for people like me, but I really liked it". That makes it worth it. Hearing that one single time, makes every single HoC ever worth it in my opinion. I know a lot of teachers that would agree. Nobody on earth thinks kids are making significant progress towards mastery of programming from an hour of code -- it's about exposing every child and letting them know that they are capable of a career that is often, for a variety of reasons, seen as "not for them".

I disagree, unless you are hiring straight out of college and the C+ is in an immediately relevant or "red flag" class. I can't imagine being asked this. I studied philosophy, I'm interviewing to write software, who cares about my grades?

I would totally disagree. We started migrating our front end to React this year. We dipped our toes in with Class based components, found out about hooks, and never looked back. Hooks are confusing when you're trying to translate a class based component to a functional component with hooks. Starting a component or page from the ground up with hooks is so, so much simpler than class based components. As with any iteration of any framework, there are gotchas, but they are no worse than Class based react (totally opinion there). The mental model, once you latch on to it, is so simple.
