Dudester230602··on Terraform Cloud Pricing Changes Sticker Shock

The dude probably ChatGPT-ed the entire thing. I might as well ask those tools directly.

Dudester230602··on Terraform Cloud Pricing Changes Sticker Shock

Don't read - there is AI art there.

Dudester230602··on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO

>> “He doesn’t want to see lives destroyed”

As in, people staying millionaires instead of becoming multimillionaires? Could such life-destruction be brought to EU, please?

Dudester230602··on Google's ChatGPT Competitor Will Have to Wait

Why did not clever interview questions help? They need to grind LeetCode some more.

Dudester230602··on Microsoft wants to move Windows to the cloud

I don't know...

Since this move would make (advanced) user experience worse, it sounds very realistic to me.

Had they suddenly say "Windows 11 was a big mistake, we are moving back to Windows 7 experience, HTML-based pseudo-UIs are banned" etc. - now that would sound unrealistic.

Dudester230602··on Exploring GPTs: ChatGPT in a trench coat?

Valve are truly visionary in their AI ban and charging a fee. Imagine the steaming brown tsunami of this sub-average shovelware hitting Steam?

Dudester230602··on WASM by example

That's the dream. Render to WebGL/Canvas. Bypass CSS + HTML.

Make web actually open to other languages by putting them on a very common ground.

Dudester230602··on .NET 8

I am slightly surprised they still did not replace it with some 80% similar "WasmUI". Which XAML framework are we on now by number?

Dudester230602··on Show HN: Inshellisense – IDE style shell autocomplete

Yeah, they claim because it's better but the reality is that they simply cannot build good cross-platform UIs on a budget / on time.

Dudester230602··on Show HN: Inshellisense – IDE style shell autocomplete

1980s... but like 2020s-style.

Coming next: auto-complete for punch cards.

Dudester230602··on The new headache for bosses: Employees aren't quitting

"Please come back to office to have all those water cooler conversations that bring unbelievable creativity... Oh you cannot? Such a shame... Please feel free to leave."

Dudester230602··on Developers Guide to Moving to Denmark

Does Denmark recognise freelancers - one-man companies? Or do they rob them same way as permanent staff?

Dudester230602··on Firefox Development Is Moving from Mercurial to Git

Luckily, by now there are enough tools to hide the insanity of git behind the scenes. Just make sure to avoid the 1980-s way of using it (console).

Dudester230602··on Scientists Are Researching a Device That Can Induce Lucid Dreams on Demand

You could make it a Saturday night thing.

Dudester230602··on Why banks are suddenly closing down customer accounts

Let's transition to cashless society, shall we?

Dudester230602··on Brits make Amazon, Meta stop using third-party data to undercut rivals

This is why I don't understand new LLM start-ups. They hope their low-hanging integration or LLM-flavor-of-the-day fruits do not attract attention long enough.

Dudester230602··on For developers under pressure, it’s better for bugs to be found in production

There are two kinds of developers:

A - puts a brand new project on CV and moves on before go-live.

B - stays behind to handle going-live issues and maintain.

Guess which kind sees pay growth and promotions?

Dudester230602··on Hundreds demonstrate against high rents in Zurich

You wrote "Berlin" in one sentence yet "Germany" in another. Is Germany a city-state?

Dudester230602··on Microsoft is retiring Visual Studio for Mac in 2024

They were desperate to attract more devs who don't care about Microsoft anyways so they started throwing things at wall to see what will stick. VS for Mac did not, but Chrome browser masquerading as a text editor did.

Dudester230602··on Oxide Hiring Process

That'd better be 1+% stock offered.

Dudester230602··on Bringing garbage collected programming languages efficiently to WebAssembly

Let's not build our potential future on a foundation of a crappy language designed over a week.

Dudester230602··on Java JEP 461: Stream Gatherers

Are you making an assumption based on some specific "lists" or are Java 'streams' infinite?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_(abstract_data_type)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_(abstract_data_type)

Dudester230602··on Java JEP 461: Stream Gatherers

It's like desktop Windows, server Linux or Android of programming languages. So big it does not need to be good or innovative.

Dudester230602··on Java JEP 461: Stream Gatherers

Why waste such a powerful term as "stream" on good old trivial 'list comprehensions'?

Dudester230602··on Current thoughts on social media

"Some people are critical that I still use X"

So, was Musk wrong or not lol. Let's hope Fowler won't get cancelled.

Dudester230602··on Help Wanted at LWN

"in such a case, salary and benefits will be dependent on what we are able to arrange in the specific location"

How generous, they understand there are countries out there where software development specialists are accustomed to higher compensation than in USA. Hence the language used.

Dudester230602··on Facing 110 years in prison, Sam Bankman-Fried "can't recall" what he did at FTX

We cannot travel to the past my friend, and HN design encourages re-creation of topics since old things go off main page.

Dudester230602··on Copying Angry Birds with nothing but AI

Mobile games are a mix of half-arsed Steam game ports, polished ad-budget-driven exploitation machines and trash. I think the trash producers will be excited, not scared. The other two kinds won't care.

Dudester230602··on Ask HN: Is Oracle that much more evil than other big companies?

TypeScript, NPM - doubling down on crappy language and rotten foundations. You could argue that at least they are helping to manage the damage to the industry.

VSCode - misspending money to prove JS can be used to build native apps? We did not say you "could not", we said you "should not".

GitHub - they just bought that, thanks for not ruining it I guess.

Dudester230602··on The costs of microservices (2020)

Exactly, just use well-factored services of any size and smack anyone saying "micro..." with a wet towel for they are just parroting some barely-profitable silicon valley money sinks.
