remify··on ChatGPT's enterprise success against Copilot fuels OpenAI/Microsoft rivalry
I loved my Windows Phone UX, so simple and reactive.
remify··on Why Bell Labs Worked
Yeah, there's thousands of university with that kind of people and budget. It's not that fun
remify··on Blender-made movie Flow takes Oscar
Second title should have been named the Book of Job IMO
remify··on Framework's first desktop is a strange–but unique–mini ITX gaming PC
I think it's an offering for companies that would like to get onboard with Framework but would prefer to only have one contract / contact for their laptops and desktops.
remify··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)
Love to see some F# in the wild
remify··on How I ship projects at big tech companies
I kid you not, I've seen managers claim that v1 is shipped while no software was deployed at all (it was just the production environment). All this just to say the project is on schedule (it wasn't !).

I've also seen in the same company rushed QA (like ignore the guys) in order to ship faster to meet the managers' KPIs and bonuses.

So yeah, shipping a project probably means something different than most developers think.

In my opinion Typescript made a mistake staying in sync with the ECMA Script specs.

This is very nice, It would be great to add other leagues and cups.
remify··on Node.js 20 is now available
The idea was to use the same paradigmes and practices as the Angular framework.

It's nice to have consistency between backend and frontend, but it is indeed a bit heavy and really not necessary most of the time.

remify··on Meet “Claude”: Anthropic’s rival to ChatGPT
One trick you can do is to copy a text you like the style and ask him to describe it.

You can then use the response as a request.

YouTube is definitely trying to make you watch the absolute most they can.

That's me but with F# :')
remify··on Stripe laying off around 14% of workforce
Patagonia has an interesting story about this.

After having to layoff a lot of their staff in the 90s, Chouinard decided to switch his compagny values and reason of being.

This article sums it up I guess, https://medium.com/@adamler/limiting-the-engines-of-growth-a...

remify··on I got a Netflix cache server. 262TB
Things to consider:

- These are cache servers they don't need to handle the whole library, just what's most hit.

- They cache, video and audio in mutiple formats

- This thing lives inside telecom infrastrure, near their users. A content available in South America should be to no use in an european location.

remify··on Ask HN: How influential can physical appearance be in professional environments?
Last year a few months after confinment I went on vacation and while I was having a break in a too expensive restaurant in the Geneve airport something weird was going on but I couldn't tell what. An hour later it hit me, all these people around me were good looking and outright elegant. Most of them were doing business.

A lot of studies shows that indeed good looking people does have better odds in the traditional success game.

I just got a ROK Espresso (also a manual espresso machine) and I love it.

remify··on The Animal Is Tired
Great explanation, thank you
remify··on Ask HN: What are the best websites that the Anglosphere doesn't know about?
As a French my definition of a documentary is what Arte produce.

I recently discovered what a documentary is for an American and it's night and day. American documentaries are entertainment package with actions and conspiracies. There's really not a lot of discovery and knowledge.

remify··on The Pros and Cons of DRY Code
My motto is abstract at the third duplication. Before that you don't know if you're going to need it.
remify··on EU countries team up for semiconductor push
ST Microelectronics from France and Italy
remify··on AWS Lambda – Functions with Up to 10 GB of Memory and 6 VCPUs
For a 1 hour process why not just launch an instance ? You can also probably use a spot instance to be even cheaper.
remify··on VSCode memory leak issue marked “out-of-scope”
This .. also it's an issue of V8, not electron or vscode.
remify··on One Week of NixOS
It's how they used it at my old job. You could deploy nix with the libs needed for the compute part.
remify··on JetBrains Compose
This has become my way of knowing if a UI framework is garbage or not.
remify··on Clean Code – Notes
Although I agree, coding practices should be added incrementally so that they have time to become habits. Nobody can remember hundreds of rules while working on a code base.

This kind of notes are useful I think.

In my opinion Product/project manager and product owner are way more stressfull.
