c03··on Sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration (2023)
>Putting your hand out of the window and then blocking the wind with a book doesn't make the car slow down.

...yes it does?

c03··on Danish government agency to ditch Microsoft software (2025)
I don't. But I remember that the French also just did the same.
c03··on Claude Sonnet 4.6
Even hackernews readers are eating it right up.
c03··on Django: One ORM to rule all databases
> outside Django sites

What does that mean? Like you can't use the library's ORM without exposing a webserver?

c03··on Detekt – A static code analyzer for Kotlin
Kotlin has everything. A language isn't better just because it has more.

Its great for DSLs though.

c03··on Just use HTML
Fuck I hate this moronic regressionist mindset. If your project is too insignificant to benefit from a framework, then just don't use it? It has nothing to do with the technology, but everything to do with your piece of shit usecase.
c03··on Buy European Made. Support European Values
My point was that a company, and thus products and employees, do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the government of which it is based.

Besides taking ethical actions, how do you signal that that you share a certain set of political values with your consumers and shareholders, instead of your "somewhat arbitrary" law makers. It is a big shift, and not always an option, to move physical factories, workplaces, etc.

c03··on Buy European Made. Support European Values
If nuance is that hard to equip, then please do, but please be keenly aware that this is your own choice. No one will save you from your own actions.
c03··on Buy European Made. Support European Values
This is a great point where nationality does not reflect political values. Many Americans exist that do not carry the opinion of their government, as do many Russians.

If a global set of "Don't be an asshole" values could be defined, put into words, shared and progressed, it would have much greater value to a consumer and the world than merely going back to nationalism and protectionism.

c03··on Firing programmers for AI is a mistake
Modern development is not as much about writing "good code", but just as much about good communication. There is a very real risk of losing good communication when outsourcing.
c03··on I Didn't Need Kubernetes, and You Probably Don't Either
Please don't mention it's name, we don't want anyone else reading it..
c03··on Why "founder mode" is a rebranding for micromanaging, top-down leaders
And their product is so great..?
c03··on PySkyWiFi: Free stupid wi-fi on long-haul flights
The author sounds so incredibly obnoxious.
c03··on Intuitive Guide to Merge Sort
Label your axes.
c03··on UltraRAM
I believe the author means database as disk persistence. But we could all host sqlite db's in /dev/shm today if we wanted.. I guess it's just excitement about persistence at speed :)
c03··on Money is pouring into AI. Skeptics say it’s a ‘grift shift’
This reads like Sin City. Please do more Noir style writing.
c03··on Where have all the laid-off tech workers gone?
On point. It would be nice with insight into the roles of the lay-offs.
c03··on No-one knows what they are doing
Why is this so far up on hacker news? It's 3 paragraphs of groundless whining and self-promotion with absolutely no substance.
c03··on Fresh – Next-gen web framework
HTMX is revolutionary in it's bang-for-buck simplicity
c03··on The saddest “just ship it” story (2020)
It's not really a story as it is now though. Someone did something better than this guy. It's just a stream slightly coherent gonzo ranting.
c03··on Nukemap
However nice that sounds, that is unlikely to happen.

History shows that targeting civilians is by far the most effective to make the opposition concede.

c03··on Charlie Bit Me NFT sale: Brothers to pay for university with auction money
Would love to see a write up of this defense.
c03··on Git Submodules: Adding, Using, Removing, Updating (2009)
Both --recursive not being default and then using --recurse-submodules when pulling are my top annoyances in git.
c03··on The M1 MacBook Air is the best computer I've ever owned
So the title should be "Apple actually improved their product with their latest computer, and I am surprised" ?
c03··on The Mayron Cole Piano Method is now free
I must agree. op comment is the worst advice i have seen on HN on any subject, it reads like an impatient child wishing to avoid to study just to be able to perform.

But then again, it comes down to what you want to achieve. If you just want to mind numbingly press buttons, knock yourself out.
