Incentivising people to drink to the point of hangover (ie overconsumption)

I'm watching it now, it's quite entertaining. But there are quite a few comments on YouTube suggesting it's a hoax?

It works for me in Chrome, but in Firefox when I click the create button it just refreshes the page

That brought a tear to my eye. What a beautiful example of love

This is very valuable, anonymous venting can bring out topics that many people wouldn’t otherwise discuss (for better or worse.)

Is there a way to reply to threads? Without replies I think you’ll see much less traction.

Smart! I especially like how the styling is customisable. It would be nice to also include timestamps which act as permalinks to each comment, and also the usernames could link to their HN profiles?

Some detailed (or even interactive) examples would be great, otherwise I won't be interested enough to dig in further or schedule a demo :)

I think what GP was suggesting was that this person might have a chance to redeem themselves if they were surrounded by, and came to respect, people like you're describing. Do you think that's ever possible?

Dario’s descriptions of the working conditions are pretty brutal in this series. Relentless 12-16 hour days, arguments in emails, demotivating management. I grew up with a fairytale idea of what working at Valve must have been like - a brilliant environment of smart people doing their best work. Although I’m still sure that’s true, I don’t think I’d be willing to make the sacrifices these developers did for the sake of a video game. Astonishing

I wonder what stories they don't want told

When it's your company, it's never small.

Thanks for all your hard work dang

When I land on the page my back button stops working - quite annoying. Best of luck

The brand/copyright info page would suggest otherwise[0]. But it seems like harmless fun to me --

"Ryanair ROBLOX is a non-profit group which intends no infringement to the trademarks of Ryanair. We do not accept real cash and exist for the purpose of online gaming and enjoyment, as with other flight simulator games on ROBLOX and beyond, such as flight simulator games. We are passionate about Ryanair and working on components including this website have helped to develop the skills of our staff and passengers for future use in the industry.

We would comply with any copyright requests or simple complaints but have not received any to date. We are therefore in a position to keep operating, developing and expanding. The experience and knowledge gained by some staff, including in website development, may even be a bonus for future prospective careers within Ryanair. These are profoundly vast achievements, including website development, coding with Java, airline management and operation, creating SOPs, implementing trainings and more.

We hope that our consistent love and advertisement of Ryanair, if seen, will be welcomed! As we are a virtual airline, we pose no threat or harm."

What a phenomenal amount of work. My favourite bit is the annual reports for investors, complete with accounts and a statement from the CEO!

Don't build your castle in other people's kingdoms

Might be my Scottish bias but could the codename give a clue?

Interesting but there’s a weird pause before the word ‘danced’ in each demo? Sounds unnatural

As of writing - 4 posts seeking freelancers, 87 seeking work. Is it just me or is this ratio much more skewed towards supply vs demand than in the past?

Run the code it writes, if it gives an error, paste it into the chat and 90% of the time the LLM can fix the issue.

People are missing the point here - it's not about writing code in one-shot. An LLM-enabled loop can generate the code and test and refine it until it works

You can make your point more generously than this

Thanks for sharing. Can you help me understand the difference between Cordova/Haxe and Electron? I mostly do web dev.

If AI can replace abundant jobs in customer service, this will mean that the entry level becomes harder and harder for people to access. Because the work that's left for humans will become more skilled and complex - the stuff the machines can't deal with.

No, but it could defer to a human if it’s unable to assist. If a chatbot can cover 80% of common support tasks, that vastly reduces the number of support staff but those who remain will be necessarily more skilled and have more authority

I think it's partly the shared event and ritual. You're taking part in something with hundreds of other people, and a lot of effort goes in to making it just right (with a good projectionist and a cinema that gives a shit)

Nice! I remember using a tool called Appcelerator Titanium about 15 years ago. It was like a precursor to Electron, and you could use various languages to build desktop and mobile apps - including PHP. It blew my mind at the time that this was possible.

Glad to see the PHP desktop app dream has been kept alive :)

Unless the financial benefit could be shared with the original authors somehow, with some kind of royalties system?

I learned something today. Cheers!

Why shouldn't languages have a logo? It's not just a commercial/corporate thing, a clear visual identity can help tie any project together. It makes it easier for users to identify material and organisations related to the project and its ecosystem.

As an example, the Python, PHP and Java logos are very distinctive in their own ways, and when you're sifting through YouTube tutorials as a beginner, seeing the logos pop up in thumbnails can help you spot material that's relevant to your learning.

I'm not sure I understand the licensing issue - if the camel graphic came from one of these books, would it not be possible to license it direct from the pictorial library (possibly no licensing required, just a royalty free deal from buying the book)?
