hyperbolic.

anonymity in your product could be a sensible design choice that your customers could value. fine. go nuts.

but in general? hard disagree. anonymity is fragile and can't be guaranteed, privacy is a legal obligation which can actually be enforced if push comes to shove.

also that page reads like slop : it's not X, it's Y. blah blah blah. this is a marketing piece trying to go viral.

I just started playing in the Erlang ecosystem and they have EIGHT levels of logging messages. it seems crazily over-specific, but they are the champions of robust systems.

I could live with 4

Error - alert me now.

Warning - examine these later,

Info - important context for investigations.

Debug - usually off in prod.

ugh. I have to replace my time rotors again - I thought regen was supposed to help with the wear while it improved range?

we don't need clickbait

well, it's an arts and crafts project and they may value avoiding petrochemical products in the end-product. regardless it's interesting to work through that whole process instead of just accepting it.

I'm building personal, minimalist, website monitor in Gleam using the Erlang OTP.

In the time-honored hacker tradition of added more problems to the problem i'm trying to solve I'm learning a new language (never done FP before, either), building the product I wanted, using the latest crop of creative tools, and treating it as a little end-to-end business startup too. Launching in January!

I started reading, then shifted to skimming, then abandoned it because it has said NOTHING in the first few screenfuls. is this a joke?

this is so stupid i wish i could flag it twice

It is not at all true that "Most investors can time this aspect of the market". This is laughably, absurdly, wrong - as if most people could predict the future. Here's a little advice I sincerely pray you accept : don't trade options.

Huh? That’s not what rhetorical means and those silly questions aren’t confusing anyone here. What are you on about, mate?

you're being obtuse, GP clearly wants a locked down internet

You win my comment-of-the day award with grace and subtlety.

Yikes

That's awful - just an awful way to teach. It's from more than a century ago when the point was to tame the children and turn them into good Prussian soldiers.

You don't have to start with anxiety, shame, and dominance - you can start with curiosity, a base of common understanding, and then experiment and problem solving.

The behavior was lazy and dumb, not the person.

I heard it was a stuffed bear. "tell it to the bear" they'd say, and point without looking up.

I added ELIZA to shittalk for a statistical ML model to play bouts on 'stickfight' PVP game around 2000. :)

leaning "no, this is fake" since it's trying too hard. they made their point though

it's surprisingly hard to tell if this is a reporting a real thing or not

the space elevator has to go a LOT higher than that. also, the landing gear is down on the reentering shuttle. The big thing people don't get is that orbit is about sideways speed not altitude and this does nothing to address it. I don't get the hype for this, it's cute but not much at all.

that's so obvious in hindsight! was this really not discovered before?

oh, it goes back to the 1980's

you will look back on this and feel so silly.

depends how sophisticated the investor in the story is. it thay are perfect homo economicus they would have been selling some of those inflated shares to do what they would have done with the dividends

ffs. really? the clickbait headlines need to stop - I'm for full banishment of people who post them and the publications they came in on.

nah. not the sort of thing this site care really engage with. fun read tho

ok, I went through it as a relatively normal software engineer (though i certainly can empathize with a lot of on-the-spectrum behavior in kind if not in intensity) - I have 3 takeaways.

1. Things that I brush off or bounce back from have a cumulative effect that leaves some autistic people 'in the red'. It affects them and sticks with them more than it does to me.

2. Options that are not at all realistic or sensible to me like 'not taking meds' - i would never consider skipping a prescription. several cases offered responding with formal processes and complaints that are wildly inappropriate for the offense. Are you showing that to an autistic person these terrible choices somehow seem to be viable?

3. This sample environment is over-the-top with caricatures of the worst sort of job activities populated by judgemental and sneering villains. Are you trying to show that to an autistic person they only see a day full of the very worst things - that they fixate on these problems and don't put them in context with the rest of the experience?

An uncharitable person could take away that autistic people are fragile, make poor choices, and only see the worst in the people around them.

Maybe this was more meant as a comic rant that autistic people could enjoy as a parody of their shared experiences? I'm not actually sure this is accomplishing what you want.

"The rice is a little more fine-grained"

nice writeup!

this. the HN discussion on subjects outside of computing and startups is awful. When it gets to anything else I know something about it's all overconfident sophomore bullshitters proclaiming and being deep. see especially health, aerospace, and economics

Proof of Concept?

Person of Color?

Point of Contact?

If I ever want to use async in python again i'm going with Trio.
