Whoever owns shares.

That's one of those decades-long debates that continues. Is CS actually "science"? Are developers actually "engineers"? Is a person in charge of a Kanban board an "architect"?

There are absolutely computer science jobs, but in general, a casual distinction would be what side of the research/implement line you fall (though in truth, it's probably more of a 2D graph than a hard line).

Even in good times, CS was poorly matched with the jobs people got the degree for. People put up with the BS because there was gold at the end of the rainbow.

Not a great way for me to hear about Northflank for the first time.

Because no one cares about the nerdy stuff, they just want Lambos

In many cases that’s an advantage. Tiny (or no) attack surface, less power, etc

In your shoes, I'd just get whatever Pro processor is available at that time. (Knowing that new processors were coming, I happily bought an M5 Pro machine last month)

As pointed out in a sibling comment, 153GB/s.

I believe they're discussing the base processors as a way of comparing generations, since there is no M6 Pro/Max. (the M2 base was at 100GB/s)

For a direct comparison to your processor, the M5 Pro is at 308GB/s.

and I thought I was doing something special with my little GMKTec 32GB machine I use for a dev server haha

Did the same. Took a week or so to get used to the workflow after doing dev locally my entire career, but now I'm certain it's the best way to work. Even better is using a few scripts to simplify things like opening in VS Code (instead of `code folder-name` I run `codeon repo-name` from my local machine).

I did actually get a new M5 Pro/48GB machine last month, but that's only because I bought my work machine to keep my personal and professional lives properly separated; otherwise I wasn't seeing any issue running that M3 Max/36GB for a long time further.

According to the timestamp, that was uploaded less than 24 hours ago.

I'm not familiar with their site; I assume it's user-uploaded? In that case, it's the same challenge that every user-generated content site has, balancing openness with policing IP violations.

I spent a good part of my career as a CF developer, but I found Homesite in the mid-90s. As a poor kid at college, carrying my editor around on a floppy to the various computer labs (yes it fit!) was very convenient.

cfscript has been part of ColdFusion since 1998. It has expanded over time to include more functionality, but it has been there.

Also the markup-based functionality hasn't gone anywhere.

Scarier than that is the idea of replacing you with someone far cheaper who can drive the AI.

Don't we do that to felons already? They violated the TOS of society, and are categorically banned from a significant portion of the job market.

While interesting, it reminds me of all the headlines over the years about governments who were switching off of Microsoft Office to OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Needless to say Microsoft didn't close up shop.

If you mean pre-packaged jobs in that specific language, you're correct. However, if you're a Rubyist needing native performance, it's another tool in your toolbox.

Solvable problems (just login or pay). This is more than just blocking anonymous scrapers. Sites are blocking access to agents even when they have a proper "ticket" for access.

They use Codex?

So the v2 that people put money down on 9 years ago has been thrown away. Hopefully they'll be able to easily get their money back, ideally with interest.

Obviously they mean v2, a design that apparently was thrown away.

I agree that there's a lot wrong, but both Marketplace and Groups are actually pretty valuable and useful. To say that Facebook is just a feed of memes and politics is reductive.

At least they'd have control and can fix it as they see fit, instead of waiting for the government.

Put up your own fence inside of your property line that you can keep up to your needs and standards.

Despite the typical snark on HN, I know there are still plenty who are bought in to Apple. Is anyone here using the HomePod and/or using Homekit? I'm mostly on board with the Apple ecosystem, and in my assessment when trying to outfit my home, I couldn't find a reason (maybe the privacy store is better) to choose them over Alexa or Google Home or any of the other options, including DIY.

Not familiar with the company. Home page says nothing other than a tag line and a signup to continue. About page does add very little. Their blog provides a little bit of insight, but honestly, I have no clue what they sell or what the value prop is.

Maybe I'm the clueless one, at it seems others are quite familiar with their story.

Probably not, if the previous administration, when they had full control, is useful precedent.

Can we consolidate the posts? Currently there's 3 on the front page, basically all pointing to Mistral's messaging in different places.

I tried it in DataGrip on a messy database. It hallucinated about which tables and columns to use. Had better results using Claude in the terminal and having it give me the SQL to run.
