When you can easily drop down to low-levels and write code in C or even Assembly in Python, why bother using any other language? I'm pretty confident at this point that Python is just going to eclipse anything else, I've been programming for years now and aside from using JS in browser I find it baffling that people would use anything but Python or C.

Oh oh that's because he's 100% lying. Just trying to draw more people into the scam. Hacker news is such a naive place sometimes.

I just want to say before you read any of these comments, they are being monitored, they are being manipulated. Don't take anything on the Internet at face value. There are no "concerned citizens" on the Internet only bored people and trolls trying to force action out of inquiry.

I mean he answered these questions. The line is drawn here.

Truly anti-vaxx behavior is a mental illness. They are being a danger to themselves and others and should be locked up.

I just want to live. This is not a political argument. People who purposely spread deadly diseases are criminals. It's just the same as firing a loaded gun at someone and pretending you don't know what a gun is. I don't care about what argument you're making anymore if I'm ending up shot either way.

I don't think so man, I think you're being influenced. Paying people to be gay just doesn't make sense. I'm not going seriously argue this with you, you need help.

I mean I dated a transgender person, were they being paid or something? explain to me what was going on there.

Probably less complex then a 1, but more complex then a 0.

I work in an organization where the developers pretty much run the show, it sounds like heaven but we bump into churn situations like this all the time.

The thing the author doesn't really realize in this article is that building consensus and making sure everyone agrees with the priority of the project is part of the job.

It kinda sounds like he had pet project that others disliked so they tried to kill it by claiming the "dashboard team" was handling it. Then he attempted to vicariously micromanage the project from another team.

I honestly would love if we stopped trying to square the circle with speech recognition and just built a phonetic signal based system for computer interaction. Words are overrated, I'd rather whistle at my speakers like I'm R2D2.

Yes, Google is mostly spam now. Digg went out of business, Enron went out of business, Google could just as easily. They are forcing a lot of activity now by just allowing people to abuse their site by allowing fake traffic that's just bots. The SEO for every search is noticeable worse each year, it's always pointless to check every anything past the 3rd result, I can't even find stuff I remember being able to find in the past.

If Reddit doesn't get this funding it will become insolvent it's valuation will be seen as the obvious BS it is, companies like Pinterest, Tiktok, Twitter, maybe even YouTube will collapse overnight. Reddit MUST show growth, even if it's just buying clicks and junking the stats, if it doesn't all our jobs go out the window.

But I'm pretty sure they will, the big thing now is to have a big e-commerce advertising component to "unknowingly" facilitate money laundering. Expect spam to explode and be repeatedly ghettoized, it already happening on their porn subs. Entirely fake traffic with bots talking to bots.

I mean the story of Indiana Jones 1 is about the power of religious symbolism, nostalgia , history in general. It's not just about the actions of the plot but about how we see that era the film is set.

Nazis aim to use the Ark for power, Indy wants to put in a museum, ultimately it ends up hidden again in a warehouse. I mean seems pretty meaningful statement about how knowledge is used and controlled.

Basically anything we can do to make cars more expensive and take them off the road I support at this point, driving in America right now is a frustratingly brutal experience that leaves thousands dead, maimed, late or in prison, every day as well driving the environment into a state of global chaos.

I love these kind of laws, oh we mildly inconvenienced a car company, big deal, they'll end up making more money off it in the end. Hopefully I'll just stop seeing the bodies of people being decapitated or torn in half on my commute to DC and actually be able to actually go where I want on time.

Another shallow clickbait article from substack, purposely lying about the tone of the article for clicks.

Funny to me that they chose 2001: A Space Odyssey, which posits (more or less) that aliens gave people intelligence, not god. I bet the Vatican really liked the visual association of the fetus with the rebirth and life in the final scene of the movie. Still a strange choice!

"Can there be an infinitely large integer"

No there can't there's always a larger integer. Anyone who claims otherwise is just making stuff up. It's just mind blowing to me that anyone think otherwise, it's like asking what the final digit of pi is, you'd get laughed out of any college class for insisting there might be one, rightly so.

Cryptocurrency like all right-wing idealism is based on a belief in the supernatural. They preform these ritual calculations and anoint each other with imaginary tokens, claim value has been created and write that off on their taxes, the big difference with crypto over the regular voodoo is that you can actually make money doing it even if you don't believe the fundamentals are sound. You attract the worse of both worlds, the crazy idealists and the complete scam artists and when you get to the core of what crypto is really about those groups are basically the same.

I actually think what your saying is foolish. There's no "other universes." As I stated there's only one universe. Seems obvious to me.

Richard Feynman had a satirical theory that any complex mathematical problem/theory when stated in layman's terms becomes self-evident. This is the perfect example of this.

There's only one universe, QED.

People in tech are constantly chasing the next big thing, but honestly I feel like most of the major software paradigms have been discovered , things like website UX, AI etc are already at the state of maximum effectiveness and "innovation" is basically just a way of locking in devs who want to learn something that's "industry standard." Look at all the pointless wheel spinning created by having multiple large JS frameworks. The real efficiency gains most organizations are going to see from technology is in integrating their engineering/tech infrastructure side with the rest of the organization, simple stuff like teaching people to use Ipython notebooks instead of PowerPoints and spreadsheets.

Now that the Trump movement has run it's course it's kinda jarring to see how little a popular uprising can accomplish when it's entirely described and disseminated via meme.

Even Trump's most obvious, easy to execute plans failed. Memes couldn't even build a functional wall let alone fix healthcare or even repeal what exists, even with a majority in all branches of government. Memes aren't necessarily a bad way of disseminating information, the ideas they spread are necessarily intellectually reduced and ineffective in implementation.

I'll just say this is pretty obvious to anyone who been reading the comments in wave after wave of "The Federal Reserve is collapsing tomorrow, buy gold!" articles that swarm the site every single month regardless what's actually going on in the economy.

Poetry just was too little too late, containerization is how people are fixing their dependency issues now. I obviously want have a dockerfile that really represents all my dependency then a good package manager that blames my OS when it can't install something. It's the best horse at the car show.

I live in Virginia and I was proudly told this by a Republican running for office. They have a DB so they can pool data state-by-state and cross-reference it with social media.

My advice if you don't believe this is true, just ask! They are very open about talking about this and feel that Democrats do the same thing.

Don't do this, it's pointless if you complain about Republican elected officials they typically just try to siphon resources away from your area. If you really think this will work please use a false identity to avoid being targeted.

Richard Feynman had a joke theory that any purely theoretical mathematical concept when expressed in layman's terms devolves into something completely obvious. So does this actually mean something like "git uses branches."?

I actually love programming language advocacy and programming language partisanship even when it's rooted in ignorance, just because generally peoples efforts are better spent extending existing languages as opposed to trying to solve problems by improving the language it's self.

There needs to a bit of friction in the system or everyone is using discrete languages nobody else understands, even for irrational reasons.
