The premise of this is that I feel people are pinched for time and need space to work – yet when they come back from their coding mode the answers team members provide seldom respect the depth, severity, or nature of the queries which are posted while people are focusing on dev work and, in some cases, simply delay the discussion of it until the next weekly/in-depth check in.I've been thinking abo

I'd guess that we would be now ready for great, successful AI-generated music. I know nothing about it, of course - can someone more knowledgeable than me tell me what's going on, what's interesting, what's noteworthy in the year 2022? I've been working with OpenAi's jukebox to make vocals / "singer-songwriter" type stuff rather than electronica. Can do a HN writeup on process if there is interest

If you could never read a new book in your life, and only had one book to re-read once a year, which would you pick, and why?(Feel free to substitute “the next 10 years“ for “the rest of your life“.) James Clavell's Shogun: The contrast between the Japanese and European cultures in 1600 are delicious, the characters and plot both well developed. I've read it at least a dozen times over four decade

This is really impressive-- In a talk some time back Bret Victor talks about interfaces that look and feel like this; where you can see the whole system, "running" and tinker with parts without, "re-compiling" or, "re-writing" programs. I always love finding things like this on HN.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfytHvgHybA&ab_channel=stupi... Author here. Indeed, much inspiration comes from the d

It gave me a pause to think about how it came that I can never really tell what am I looking at anymore. Forget the HN title, which is stupid — what does this landing page tell me? Well, that it's… next gen, and it apparently can catch up with me, which is not much, since I'm not really catching up with what's going on anyway. Also, that it's "tooling". Like IDE, or framework, or maybe a chainsaw.

I am a full stack TypeScript dev looking to broaden my skill set by learning a new language. I’ve been weighing Rust vs Go for a long time but can’t really decide which would be a better use of my time. I often hear that people who try one of these languages after coming from something like TypeScript feel that they really level up their abilities/understanding.I’d like to learn whichever language

These definitions don't really give you the idea, rather often just code examples.."The ideas", in my view: Monoid = units that can be joined together Functor = context for running a single-input function Applicative = context for multi-input functions Monad = context for sequence-dependent operations Lifting = converting from one context to another Sum type = something is either A or B or C.. Pro

It's the start of the holidays. My daughter is 11 y/o and I'm currently unemployed. I would like to do some projects with her that may interest her/us while enjoying the time together. Any suggestions/ ideas would be great! I became a single parent when my daughter turned 1 year old. When she got old enough we'd go fishing, bicycling, swimming, and hiking a lot. We'd also go to a used book store t
