762236··on Ask HN: Is it still worth pursuing a software startup?
You're asking an orthodox and conservative audience who have time to be on HN
762236··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
That isn't a Russian. It is me, an American. It is convenient for you to dismiss my arguments as Russian so that you can ignore their validity. The same thing happens in the US: people dismiss arguments by saying they are right wing (i.e., from Republicans)
762236··on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels
I'm currently in a room with frosted glass for the shower and bathroom, with my girlfriend and her daughter. I guess it helps with lighting?
762236··on Giving C a superpower: custom header file (safe_c.h)
I don't understand. This is an optional part of Rust. I'm obviously not using a garbage collector in Rust.
762236··on Giving C a superpower: custom header file (safe_c.h)
For new projects, I just use Rust: there is zero reason to deal with a garbage collector today. If I'm in C, it's because I care about predictable performance, and why I'm not using Java for that particular project.
762236··on Giving C a superpower: custom header file (safe_c.h)
If I'm in C, I'm using JNI to work around the garbage collector of Kava
762236··on Giving C a superpower: custom header file (safe_c.h)
Why would I want to run a garbage collector and deal with it's performance penalties?
762236··on Zohran Mamdani wins the New York mayoral race
His policy proposals have been repeatedly disproven throughout recent history. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
762236··on Sequoia COO quit over Shaun Maguire's comments about Mamdani
Although I'm vegetarian, I consider it smart to eat animals that are available when you are low on money (I don't know details and don't care, as long as people aren't eating the animals in protected areas like parks)
762236··on Sequoia COO quit over Shaun Maguire's comments about Mamdani
People are in down-vote wars on this article. It makes it so much more appealing to use x.com for conversation.
762236··on Everything you need to know about California’s SB 79
This doesn't cover Atherton's train stop, based on their estimated map, which is interesting.
762236··on Cache of devices capable of crashing cell network is found in NYC
Yes, they were using these to commit crimes, and will miss them.
762236··on Restrictions on house sharing by unrelated roommates
The Bay Area has lots of these places, running under the radar, which are not turning into anything bad, as they are occupied by young people working at startups.
762236··on Restrictions on house sharing by unrelated roommates
The advent of contraception also changed the game. Now people would expect to have sleep overs, sharing limited resources such as the bathroom, where that was less of an issue in the past.
762236··on The future of 32-bit support in the kernel
Removing nommu makes the kernel simpler and easier to understand.
762236··on SpaceX's giant Starship Mars rocket nails critical 10th test flight
They compromised the ship to study failures of that nature.
762236··on Ask HN: What trick of the trade took you too long to learn?
How to exit Emacs
762236··on Typed languages are better suited for vibecoding
Gemini has been doing a fantastic job for me for Rust
762236··on Telo MT1
They had a ton of design constraints, and looking like a toy wasn't one of them. This is what their solution to those constraints (such as more range via a low coefficient of drag) looks like. Very few people are capable of evaluating a vehicle without their biases influencing them, such as what a masculine truck needs to look like.
762236··on Hyatt Hotels are using algorithmic Rest “smoking detectors”
Is there a way to deactivate the sensor if you find one in your room?
762236··on I'm switching to Python and actually liking it
I won't touch Python either, but because I've been burned debugging large Python programs. Something that would have taken a minute in a statically typed language took hours of tracing data through the program to understand what was supposed to be in a dict. There are alternative languages that are pithy, statically typed, can write programs quickly, and can grow into large code bases that are maintainable; so there is never a reason to start a new project with Python today.
762236··on The Amiga 3000 Unix and Sun Microsystems: Deal or No Deal?
I've always associated Amigas with AmigaOS, and this is the first I heard about Unix. Why would you replace AmigaOS with Unix? Is it because it would be substantially cheaper than other 68030 Unix workstations?
762236··on Why I left my tech job to work on chronic pain
As someone who has overcome chronic pain, and frequently foils acute pain from turning into chronic pain, I started daily joint-mobility exercises from Kelly Starrett's Supple Leopard book (and his MWOD videos on YouTube) to achieve this. Physical therapy needs daily, incremental progress, which you can do yourself.
762236··on The first American 'scientific refugees' arrive in France
Gender affirming care is unsupported by evidence, so it is inaccurate to say "unilaterally".

Trans woman tend to dominate their sports. There are so many examples of this. We don't need to have opinions on this: just use the evidence.

762236··on The first American 'scientific refugees' arrive in France
I started voting for Republicans because I watched Democrats become anti-science, e.g., gender-affirming care. Anyone with ideology rejects science, which includes people from both parties, but currently my life is impacted in a negative way by liberal ideology, not conservative ideology (conservatives actually talk with me, while liberals shun me if I ask for evidence).
762236··on The first American 'scientific refugees' arrive in France
Historical employment rates of conservatives at universities were much higher than now.
762236··on The first American 'scientific refugees' arrive in France
If a university has thought diversity, their demographics will match America's: they'll employ around 50% conservatives. If they have like 3% conservatives, as many do, that is a good sign that they are captured by an ideology, and then the question becomes, why should conservatives support institutions with federal money that actively spread an ideology that excludes conservatives? If the universities want to continue this way, they should pursue First Amendment religious protection.
762236··on Define policy forbidding use of AI code generators
It sounds like you're saying someone could rewrite Qemu on their own, with the help of AI. That would be pretty funny.
762236··on Japan Post launches 'digital address' system
Everyone's got an address in the world-wide plus-code system, and they're used for deliveries in many countries: maps.google.com/pluscodes/
762236··on 'Turbocharged' Mitochondria Power Birds' Epic Migratory Journeys
With the right level of abstraction, we can say that there's only one of four fundamental forces generating the birds' and engine work, electromagnetism, and so maybe can work a relationship about turbos in that way.
