Cupprum··on Hacker News Data Map [180MB]
Is that necessarily a bad thing? Cant some posts be relevant even if they were created before covid?
Cupprum··on Open Source on its own is no alternative to Big Tech
Do you by any chance work with Python? If i recall correctly, the default Python library for VSCode doesnt work out of the box in VSCodium, as its pulled from MS servers, which VSCodium does not allow. I think you need to enable this connectivity on your own. So my understanding is that by “crippling” the maket, its more convenient for people to just use VSCode.
Cupprum··on Ask HN: How do you share and sync .env files and secrets with your team
I have a question, why would you call it rot? To me that sound something similar to Caesar cipher, also called rot13, which is far from being safe.
Cupprum··on Dexcom starts selling its new over-the-counter glucose monitor in the U.S.
I once spoke to Scott Hanselman [1] on a conference. He is diabetic and also makes talks about IT and diabetes. I liked one point he made: people without diabetes should not buy these products, as it only brings the prices up, meaning that not everyone by can afford them.

Edit: forgot to specify link. 1: https://www.hanselman.com/

Cupprum··on Is a 'slow' swimming pool impeding world records?
Did previously a lot of doping come russia? I am curious.
Cupprum··on Attribution is dying, clicks are dying
Why do you think apples V Pro product failed? Maybe you were just not the audience. Once they release a customer oriented version i am looking forward to it.

The way i understood the rollout for this product is to first target developers and give them time to enrich the so far empty ecosystem.

Release in US, means US will have a head start to adopt this new technology professionally.

Cupprum··on SQLite: 35% Faster Than the Filesystem
SQLite is meant for transactional data, DuckDB for analytical data.

I am not sure which one would be better for logs, I would need to play around with it. But i am not sure if SQLite wouldn’t be a better fit.

Cupprum··on SQLite: 35% Faster Than the Filesystem
Honestly, maybe? Would be a fun project to look at at least.
Cupprum··on Not everything is behavioral science
I was so confused by the initial part of article. BS here, BS there…

The author in PEP mentions, that you can use Github Actions for building of the libraries [0].

Cupprum··on Boeing engineer tells senate about 'manufacturing shortcuts' [video]
I believe it already started, SAS posted couple of messages [1] that they retired their boeings. I believe they currently only have couple of boeing lefts for some medical emergencies.

Cupprum··on Novo Nordisk facing pressure as study finds $1k drug can be made for $5
How much do you know about this? Novo Nordisk sponsors many universities around Denmark, they pay a lot of money for those graduates.
Cupprum··on Novo Nordisk facing pressure as study finds $1k drug can be made for $5
And Novo Nordisk contributed back to society. By a lot. Large part of earnings goes to Novo Foundation, which is used to help people in Denmark and make it to a nicer country for people (even though its already amazing country).
Cupprum··on Ask HN: Who's getting their job applications rejected?
If i may ask, what made you switch your field?
Cupprum··on AutoDev: Automated AI-driven development by Microsoft
I am not sure I agree. Many companies do not want to outsource stuff, because afterwards you see a huge dip in quality.
Cupprum··on Over 100k Infected Repos Found on GitHub
Getting the actual number is probably very hard. These are the infected repos the OP found during their research.
Cupprum··on Apple to EU, Drop Dead
Why is this Apple telling to EU drop dead?
Cupprum··on Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
But neither of these implementations are going to provide this functionality, because of lack of development kits, right? So in the end people would just send it over some messaging app, which scales nicer, or create a shared album, which also scales nicer. Because smashing phones in group of 10 people might get tedious.
Cupprum··on Free and Open Source Alternative to Airdrop
I am still missing why people are so crazy about airdrop. Sure, it seems nice, and is nice to interact with, but all my stuff is already in the cloud and i don't seem to need to share it very often with people around me. What are some of the use-cases you personally use airdrop for?
Cupprum··on Researchers confirm what we already knew: Google results are getting worse
If i may ask where did you get this number? How are the other search engines on it compared to google?
Cupprum··on Python 3.13 Gets a JIT
Just to clarify BDFL.

Cupprum··on Cold showers on overhyped topics (2017)
When you look at the history the “scene” swings from one side to another. Initially people mostly used static languages (C time). Afterwards came some dynamic languages (abc). After that the internet time came back with static (java time). After which the dynamic took over again (python time). Currently we are moving again to static (kind of) mypy / typescript.

My guess would be this depends on what problems is the majority of developers trying to solve.

But of course this summary is just a huge simplification of evolution of languages.

Cupprum··on PyPy has moved to Git, GitHub
What does this mean?
Cupprum··on The Subscription Trap
But which platform do you use for this. How do you discover new music? Do you have to upload the music manually to your device? Do you use some platform which automates this? My point is, that the streaming services are really convenient in this case. And that i mostly pay for the convenience.
Cupprum··on The Subscription Trap
Do you personally use bandcamp? Do you really own the album once you buy it? Can you download the music if bandcamp would cease to exist?
Cupprum··on The Subscription Trap
Many banks provide this feature out of the box no?
Cupprum··on The Subscription Trap
The only subscription i have (except for energies and flat which are basically subscriptions as well) is for my choice of music. Because of the convenience factor. What would be an alternative? Buying albums? I am not familiar with any nice platforms for this.
Cupprum··on Mozilla 2023 annual report: CEO pay skyrockets, Firefox market share nosedives
Can you please elaborate on why you consider it corruption?
Cupprum··on Can Microsoft Flight Simulator help me learn to fly or make me a better pilot?
Given that this is Microsoft i would be very surprised by this. They are too incompetent to be able go think about such a huge details. And even if they were forced to implement this feature it would be poorly done and would probably have a lot of false positives which would make the data almost useless. (I dont know about games from other companies)
