fshr··on Ask HN: Burnt-out, directionless but want to turn it around
But what if they aren't worth more (as a dev, financially) than they think they are? They could be awful, but naively put in a ton of hours. Why do we assume people are worth more? Are we trying to make them feel better by making assumptions and potentially leading them horribly astray? Most people are supremely mediocre and there are just and many horrible devs as their are great ones.
fshr··on Ask HN: Am I going insane or is there genuinely no value in blockchain tech?
Could it make the whole court process of suing more efficient? Determinations prior to enforcement are very intensive.
fshr··on Back-end languages are coming to the front-end

fshr··on Back-end languages are coming to the front-end

fshr··on Amazon asked FCC to reject Starlink plan because it can’t compete, SpaceX says
1 guy out of billions of people dealing with one 20th of the problem? That’s not tiny.
fshr··on Introverts didn't 'win' lockdown
Do you think most introverts are “getting to know and appreciate themselves on their own terms”? I don’t think most people are introspective while alone - not even most introverts.
fshr··on JPEG XL
This is a strange argument. The larger companies have plenty of people to work on all the things you mentioned plus bandwidth optimizations. Also, they’re rarely the same people.
fshr··on An early look at Postgres 14: Performance and monitoring Improvements
Well that explains a lot. Imagine the success of all his work had it had better branding.
fshr··on OVH CEO Octave Klaba apologizes and provides updates about SBG2
Should they be sending emails? Yes, of course. But, you’re being hyperbolic. It’s always, otherwise, Twitter or a status page on their website.
fshr··on Why Clojure? (2018)
Metabase is written in Clojure.
fshr··on Nuclear power: Are we too anxious about the risks of radiation?
