Agree. Marketing, Finance, Legal, already having huge impact for junior positions.

> I’m back to where I started: a plain text file called todo.txt.

Nice, mine is called todo.doc, as I can easily copy screenshots in it.

There is probably somebody on HN who's tasks is to train this neural network right now.

Italy pales in comparison to Vietnam.

> Feeding someone who is hungry or not feeding them when they cannot provide for themselves is a moral question.

There are many examples of programs where people are structurally fed. None of these have positive results, and all of them are based on quasi moral arguments. Yes, we don't want people dying of hunger in refugee camps nor we want children falling behind in class because of their failing parents. But there is nothing moral about choosing the easy way out of the problem.

I had a university friend with an Amiga and another with a similar setup with the Commodore. They had stacks of floppy disks with one game more beautiful than the other. Both spend most of their time gaming and one ended up 8 and the other 9 years before finishing their masters.

I just had a Tandon 286 PC with a 287 coprocessor (yes, probably twice the price compared to an Amiga). But it did run Matlab pretty well, as well as WordPerfect - all I needed for my study.

Enlighten me, what is moral about lunch? All kids bring it to school. Of course, my kids also would like an a la carte restaurant for lunch, but we as parents think it is more efficient and cheaper if we just provide a lunch bag from home.

Am I missing something? My kids have to bring their own lunch to school. The school is for education and the parents' job is to feed them. And it gets even better: after 12/13 yo they grow self supporting capabilities, so as parent you only need to replenish the fridge.

Nonsense - there is already a decade plus of litigation on copyright and sorts with China. The days you could find carbon copied designs in China are of the past.

I had to replace a handful of clutches, but never had any maintenance done on automatic transmissions (having owned 10+ manual, and 5+ automatic). For just the money I would opt for automatic, let alone the performance that is much better than with manual gear nowadays.

Assuming you were the buyer. Did they also ran an add clicking scheme on it, to even further inflate their profit?

Absolutely. I am creating more code than ever, but mostly copy/pasting it.

Two thoughts, AI will enable more people to express their creativity. And wait for large self trained models appear. I mean, how different is that from learning Go? It is a matter of time and AI can generate original work.

VMS++ = Windows NT?

Yes, this process also filters out candidates who would refuse to go in such a hiring process.

I think the goals of having a good match are nevertheless important. Perhaps it is better to communicate these goals to your candidate co-founder and figure out together what the best approach is to verify them.

I live in lala land. Obese children are rare, however overweight is 11% and declining from 15% post covid.

The school where my kids go to has zero obese and zero overweight kids (n = 300).

We have Starbucks, McDonalds, Dunkin' Donuts and the same brands like Heinz and Coca Cola. Pizza.

So, I am optimistic willpower can prevent us from a new Ozempic disorder. I suggest to go for willpower and not pills. If willpowers falls short, in my country when a child becomes obese, child welfare steps in. So let the government intervene (yep, you will lose your parental power) with a lifestyle program.

That is not logical. If willpower fails, how could a pill be a solution? That is like suggesting to give everybody methadon, because the substance dependency issues are just too overwhelming. Or even better, give certain kids from 12 to 6 years old a gun to solve the school shootings issue.

If we give up on willpower, we have no plan b.

The willpower frame actually works pretty well for a lot of people. If not than in our society almost everybody would be obese. This pill will make things worse for the group that hangs out in the treadmills and drinks green and disgusting smoothies.

On topic, very happy this medicine exists, but let's pray god will keep the prescription only for BMI > 35.

Oh, I always think the opposite. If the outcome is technical, then quit playing, RTF specs, design and build it. If the outcome is some wobbly user expectation, wobble back with Agile.

I got a course at Oracle on DSDM RAD (rapid application development) and worked on a project with it. The 4GL tooling used at Oracle were no good fit, but back then also Oracle was moving up to 3GL tools like JDeveloper. And they thought using RAD was good fit.

Key what I remember was time boxing. And much less religious stance than Agile. But back then it was normal to have different people doing functional designs, technical designs, database design (also in two levels) and business process design of sorts. I guess it took a while for these people to realise they had to be Agile digital transformers.

And I guess it also did not help the DSDM also certified people on the waterfall methodology.

You might think, welding a ship together: what could possibly go wrong?

The first ships that were welded would suddenly break in two. These were the liberty ships used in WW2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_ship

Seeing 20,000 dots is humbling. My grandfather survived two dots on this map. It has settled as a profound family story.

I always wondered what staring at the historic values of your portfolio will actually help to improve performance.

If you can define some sort of investment strategy, then the tool can make you follow it perhaps.

I suppose you mean PSD2. That is mandatory for EU banks that do payments. I don't think your stock and crypto trading services need to comply.

That is easy to turn around, if the company would do smarter and cheaper hosting we would ask why they didn't spend more time into finding a viable business model.

Uhm, Holland is here and there below sea level but the rivers aren't. Escher probably could have drawn a map where this could happen, but in reality we still need the rivers to be higher than the sea.

edit: canals and baby rivers are lower indeed, they are pumped out and locked

Yes, just make the content. Inspire others how they can use your product.

How do you imagine the customer journey goes? For me I would not consider to use Figma as a starting point to design a website, and not knowing the market too well I am wondering how common is Figma for marketing websites (that seems the main target audience I assume). But nevertheless, it seems to make sense to follow your vision on this.

The sea is a bit wider than the river. And deeper as well. The 32 cm was the rise mentioned in the article.

Why, nothing happened. Let nature run it course. After the tide the water will flow back, and the 32 cm rise is nothing to worry about (after 4 hours, imagine the 24/7 guy observing the 1 mm high wave).

It would make more sense when water levels are already high. But then there are indeed people assigned to keep an eye on the crucial infrastructures .

The situation is you will need to pay a premium to the utility company once you are feeding electricity into the grid. The mandatory digital meter will register both usage and production flow separately.
