dmarlow··on Wing: A cloud-oriented programming language – request alpha access
This link hijacked my back navigation and I couldn't get back to hn. Sigh.
dmarlow··on What causes Alzheimer's? Scientists are rethinking the answer
That's not a realistic view though. Technology and AI aren't some magical things that remove the need to have a balanced life. At the end of the day, we are living/breathing animals that depend on the things around us to grow and thrive.
dmarlow··on Ask HN: What field in computer science will be AI proof
ChatGPT response:

center two <div> side-by-side

To center two <div> elements side-by-side, you can use the following CSS code:

Copy code

  <style>
    .container {
      display: flex;
      justify-content: center;
    }
    .left-div {
      margin-right: 20px;
    }
  </style>

  <div class="container">
    <div class="left-div">
      Content for left div
    </div>
    <div class="right-div">
      Content for right div
    </div>
  </div>
Here, the .container class is used to wrap the two <div> elements, and the display: flex property is applied to center the <div> elements horizontally. The justify-content: center property is also used to align the <div> elements to the center of the container. The left-div class is used to add a margin to the left <div> element, so that it is not touching the right <div> element.
dmarlow··on Kite is saying farewell and open-sourcing its code
I'm confused.

"we were 10+ years too early to market, i.e. the tech is not ready yet."

"Our diagnosis is that individual developers do not pay for tools."

"We built the most-advanced AI for helping developers, but it fell short of the 10× improvement required to break through because today’s state of the art for ML on code is not good enough."

Sounds like you know why people didn't pay for it. If it truly did make people as productive as you claim, it would have sold like hot cross buns on a cold day.

dmarlow··on Tell HN: As a dev, Slack has ruined my life
Has anyone tried using a forum/bulletin system in place of slack? I'd be curious to hear how that went.
dmarlow··on Our ancestors ate a Paleo diet and it had carbs
Some meat is also not very rich in fat, which is extremely important. A diet won't survive long on rabbits alone, for example.
dmarlow··on Does Company ‘X’ have an Azure Active Directory Tenant?
What about coupling AAD with AADDS?
dmarlow··on Does Company ‘X’ have an Azure Active Directory Tenant?
What's the source of data and truth for your SSO?
dmarlow··on Ask HN: Anyone else feels the commoditization of real estate is unethical?
Absolutely! But plenty do. How many tenants out there don't hold up their end of things?
dmarlow··on Ask HN: Anyone else feels the commoditization of real estate is unethical?
BLM land. Anyone can camp there free for 2 week.
dmarlow··on Ask HN: Anyone else feels the commoditization of real estate is unethical?
See my comment below to a similar concern. There are as many different kinds of landlords as there are people. The value the good ones bring are cared for, affordable places for people to live who prefer to not own a home. Repairing, maintaining, improving, insuring, all take a lot of costs and risks. The government does provide public land in which people can live for free. Why isn't that more popular?
dmarlow··on Ask HN: Anyone else feels the commoditization of real estate is unethical?
Yes, but the spirit of what was meant is that smaller groups could only be the owners. Perhaps a different kind of "corporation" is needed. Maybe one with limits, reporting transparency and other benefits wrt maintaining and improving the property.
dmarlow··on Ask HN: Anyone else feels the commoditization of real estate is unethical?
It takes considerable effort and funds to keep a house not just livable, but well kept, insured, managed, etc. If not for landlords, how else would all of that happen?
dmarlow··on Ask HN: Anyone else feels the commoditization of real estate is unethical?
That's an interesting thought. At first read, I like the concept. I'm struggling to see the downsides here.
dmarlow··on Is this the end of social networking?
You're not wrong. But, you're not right either.
dmarlow··on “Who Should Write the Terraform?”
Good article, I enjoyed it. I agree with the premise that every company is different and they need to adopt what works for them. Ownership alone is a huge issue I've run into in the past.
dmarlow··on The End of Manual Transmission
There's a place for everything. I personally enjoy driving a manual on certain occasions with certain vehicles, same for automatic.

I ride dirt bikes and I believe that if they all become full electric someday, they will at least have a clutch.

dmarlow··on P5.play
Great work. The examples are fantastic. Code looks really clean, but there's quite a bit of magic going on that's not immediately understandable. For example, in the flappy bird clone, how are the pipes' placement determined?
dmarlow··on Ask HN: Why is job matching still broken?
Hit me up @gmail.

I've spent years and countless hours doing research in this space. Happy to knowledge share and discuss the subject if you're interested.

dmarlow··on Kubernetes is a red flag signalling premature optimisation
I often hear a lot about you should vs you shouldn't. How about just highlighting your experience with? Not all companies, people or circumstances are the same. To me, it's akin to comparing athletes and trying to debate who is the goat. Just talk about what you did and let people figure it out. If their startup failed because of it, then they got what they were after, to learn and grow for the next one. Or, maybe to not do one again. I can guarantee you that for every claim you make, there's someone who was successful in doing the opposite.
dmarlow··on Launch HN: Andi (YC W22) – Q&A based, ad-free, anti-spam search engine
Can you give an example, please? I did a search and got a blurb, with a link to go to the original. I think that's a balanced compromise that serves both sides well.
dmarlow··on Kyiv gave up its nuclear weapons in return for security assurances
This is sending a strong message that everyone must own nukes to control their own destiny.
dmarlow··on How A.I. Conquered Poker
Nah, he's def Tony G
dmarlow··on Show HN: Evil Wordle
ALKYL -- took me 14 guesses.

You're a monster.

dmarlow··on I am a New York City public high school student. The situation is beyond control
I thought it was gold when I read it too. Its use was the pièce de résistance of that paragraph.
dmarlow··on Experimental depression treatment is nearly 80% effective in controlled study
There was a good piece on 60 Minutes about this type of treatment. It looked very promising for those looking to get more information about it.
dmarlow··on PlanetScale is now generally available
How so?
dmarlow··on Use forums rather than Slack/Discord to support developer community
Not just to support a developer community, but maybe communication in general.

I've mentioned this in the past and have thought this for years and years now. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25273869

dmarlow··on Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2021?
Do real estate investments count? I've heard others say it's not truly passive.
dmarlow··on Idea: Non-Recourse Founder Loans
I think this is a neat idea. There's a big push towards venture debt and this nicely correlates as the equivalent option for early liquidity. Given the right terms, I'm sure both sides would be willing to participate.
