Dudester230602··on Skip the API, ship your database

On the next iteration some consultancy will replace that with a bunch of microservices using a dynamic language.

When that thing fails again they will hopefully settle on a sane monolithic API.

Dudester230602··on Apple Investors Already Hate the New iPhone 15

Perhaps most of the historical profit had been made on proprietary charging cables?

Dudester230602··on What the interns have wrought, 2023 edition

> Relatedly - how do others deal with being objectively inferior, in basically every way, to the types of people that work at Jane Street?

Would you not rather be whoever founded Jane Street and gets the largest profit share? Why aspire to be an expensive perfect instrument in someone else's hands?

Dudester230602··on The New Godot Development Fund

I hope they will drop the funny little language in favour of first-class C# support.

Dudester230602··on Tamagotchi Connection

I guess this was unbundled into:

- Facebook (general social interaction)

- Instagram/Twitter (doing regular updates)

- Tinder (dating)

Dudester230602··on Ask HN: Is GitHub Down?

Don't worry! The whiteboard is out and they are doing super-elegant binary tree reversal implementations as we speak!

Dudester230602··on ‘I just assumed it would happen’: the unspoken grief of childless men

Might as well get a surrogate.

Dudester230602··on ‘I just assumed it would happen’: the unspoken grief of childless men

If one likes signing unfavourable contracts with the government, there are non-matrimonial ones available I am sure?

Dudester230602··on ‘I just assumed it would happen’: the unspoken grief of childless men

> That's pretty patronizing.

Let's be lenient, there is a whole cocktail of dont-abandon-your-child hormones in that brain.

Dudester230602··on WASM: Big deal or little deal?

> ...because talking about JS like this it's going to feel like I've insulted a cult...

There is now a generation of developers equating front-end with web.

> ...but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one feeling this way about it...

There are dozens of us!

Dudester230602··on Microsoft blames outage on small staff, automation failures

That probably best describes Google these days to be honest. All that alleged engineering might yet not much new stuff to show up for it.

Dudester230602··on TDD Doesn't Force Good Design

It's not TDD that I don't like it's the zealously of its proponents.

In any case, TDD helped trainers put their kids through college, now the hype is over and we can be productive again.

PS: thanks god, mainstream pair programming is dead too.

Dudester230602··on *@gmail.com

Well, they don't shut down things where the user is the product.

Dudester230602··on Third of Japan's 18-year-olds women may never have children: study

This means that an even bigger share of men may never have children. But that isn't important of course.

Dudester230602··on U.S. Bans Sales of Nvidia's H100, A100 GPUs to Middle East

If we could like not supercharge communist dictatorships with AI high-tech, that would be great.

Dudester230602··on The End of the Googleverse

Whatever culture they were trying to build with their interviewing approach, politics engagement and staff promotions, that is not a culture to aim for it turns out.

Dudester230602··on Unit Tests Are Overrated: Rethinking Testing Strategies

Unit tests are a poor man's type system.

Dudester230602··on Meta threatens to fire workers for return-to-office infractions in leaked memo

As "young people are just smarter" I think he is only making these statements while Meta is searching for a suitable younger CEO.

Dudester230602··on London Then and Now: Aerial Shots Show City Grow over Past Two Decades

Don't be racist. It has nothing to do with a skin colour.

Dudester230602··on Momentum, a DIY 12-voice virtual analogue polyphonic synthesizer based on TSynth

> ...virtual analogue...

Fake truth, dry wetness, empty fullness.

Dudester230602··on Microsoft Signing Key Stolen by Chinese

Wasn't Pichai rushing somewhere this very summer? The sort of rushing that starts when you lag behind?

Dudester230602··on Modern action films fetishize the body even as they desexualize it (2021)

Time-proven formula, yet sounds like counter-culture in 2023.

Dudester230602··on Modern action films fetishize the body even as they desexualize it (2021)

N-th partner when she was 19 or last partner when she is 38... Tough choice.

Dudester230602··on Netscape Meteors

That was a good move bro, thanks.

Dudester230602··on Netscape Meteors

"cobbled together" would probably be a better choice of words.

Dudester230602··on When Emo Conquered the Mainstream

Dudester230602··on The Gorilla web toolkit project has a new group of Core Maintainers

Keep up the good work!

Dudester230602··on Singapore to execute woman on drugs charge for the first time in 20 years

Treating genders equally might be a sign of progress in an otherwise conservative society.

Dudester230602··on The magic of dependency resolution

"Dependency resolution is something programmers usually take for granted. Be it cargo, npm, or whatever package manager you use, no one is actually surprised when this black-box figures out, all by itself, the specific set of packages that should be installed."

I am personally still surprised npm/node etc. both work and are used unsarcastically.
