code_runner··on 85% of AI Startups Will Be Out of Business in 3 Years, Major Investor Says
I’ll take the over
code_runner··on CSS findings from the Threads app
The secret for me was working with something like tailwind etc and in a componentized framework.

the framework part isn’t mandatory, but I suppose very small tweaks with something like tailwind do the trick for me.

I can’t work with css if there are massive classes and nested stuff etc. I guess composition over inheritance

code_runner··on It's official: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027
One argument at least with thinking about… Because the demand is not there. If those phones sold well there would be more phones with this option.
code_runner··on Unchecked Java: Say goodbye to checked exceptions
To the credit of the die-hard Java community, you all really seem to love and support even the most horrific syntax and awful language features. You love the pain. The rest of us are here for you... I promise software can be fun.

Checked exceptions are far and away the worst part of java and I'm glad that no other language I've personally encountered have them!

On a more real note, I work at a shop with a fair amount of java now and checked exceptions are definitely my biggest complaint. I hope we adopt this, I'm sure we won't, but I'm glad to see a little movement on what I feel is the crusty status quo in the java world.

code_runner··on Unchecked Java: Say goodbye to checked exceptions
nothing better than someone assuming a method can only throw a specific type of exception or won't throw at all.
code_runner··on Unchecked Java: Say goodbye to checked exceptions
only the things that someone acknowledges may go wrong
code_runner··on Unchecked Java: Say goodbye to checked exceptions
its only an illusion of stability. so many things can go wrong outside of exceptions and all it does is add mandatory lines of code (probably rethrowing as a runtime exception) to every single consumer. It pollutes everything it touches.

I’ve heard only bad from people who grew up there and have been back to visit family over the years. Obviously just anecdotal but I think that’s how this sort of info spreads.

You seem to think that people will care about this proof or believe you in any way. Even if they do, they can still hate you because hating people on the internet is easy.
code_runner··on Backend of Meta Threads is built with Python 3.10
Tests is likely a large part of it. There are some great tools for code formatting, quality, and type checking. It’s a very flexible language…

When people are hyper critical of Python I feel it’s typically they haven’t seen real professional Python before and just throw scripts around… if you work with some hardened Python pros you pick up the tricks really quickly and it’s very enlightening.

I’ve always struggled to find all of those tricks in one online resource personally.

I’m personally really torn on this. I don’t think the user base will reduce though… especially if people spent that sort of money.
code_runner··on Lawyers blame ChatGPT for tricking them into citing bogus case law
These exemptions we are passing out are insane. This guy claims he thought it was a search engine?

Lawyers use specific case law databases and they SHOULD approach any new tools with healthy skepticism.

And if he googled it and cited a fake case would it be better? Why wouldn’t you vet the information.

code_runner··on Lawyer who used ChatGPT faces penalty for made up citations
Yeah you should be allowed to file more than just a handful of fake cases before you’re penalized by the body that exists to make sure you don’t.

I mean, as long as the internet is mean to you about it. Now, if the internet isn’t mean enough you should be penalized some amount that accounts for how mean the internet was.

In fact, I think doctors that amputate the wrong limb should not face malpractice lawsuits if the greater metropolitan areas local news station ran more than 2 stories about it reaching a population of at least 2 million viewers.

code_runner··on Ask HN: How do you make money on the side?
Boutique consulting firms sometimes have side work you can do and they don’t always care where you are located.

Just look for a consulting group that doesn’t have 40000 job postings on LinkedIn

I guess what I mean is that I don’t personally think this helps their cause. The numbers look big in print but in reality it’s a very small number.

code_runner··on Amazon corporate workers to stage walkout citing lack of trust in leadership
1800 isn't a massive number, but considering the possibility of consequences maybe its a good amount.... though its probably a little self important to think that execs at a company that size would even care who you were individually.

Working in my first big-tech(ish) job, I've noticed a lot more dissent than I expected... and its really wild to me just how many people think a large company would run better if they were in charge. Its entirely possible that nobody would make the right decision under any circumstances. Slack is a pretty insane echo chamber and mixed with the god-complex we tend to have as developers... its a recipe for disaster.

I don't know much about what its like to work at amazon, I think RTO is silly, and I do think that climate impact etc is all important.... but its shocking how much company time people in high paying jobs spend just shitting on the company.

code_runner··on Amazon corporate workers plan walkout next week over return-to-office policies
People think this, but after a stint in boutique consulting it just is not true.

We worked for companies that had a lot of extra cash but didn’t want to hire for these roles out of stubbornness. We were basically there to clean up messes and attempt to build/handoff AI backed solutions to off shore teams… the generalists just were not good and were drowning in work.

We even assumed that in a few cases we were typically not talking with the person on teams and instead got a random employee of their own consulting place. Face to face meetings were RARE.

I guess my point is that people working these “quarter of the price” roles are not great and the companies hiring them aren’t trying to build anything of quality.

Healthcare companies trying to get their piece of the govt money without providing any real value
