You always review large code diffs by comparing them side-by-side? You never need to drop into an IDE to follow the path a branch takes? How do you review large diffs without an IDE, do you remember what every function does in a million-loc codebase?

AI is already making many things expensive. Memory prices have already pushed prices of laptops and phones into unreasonable territory. Gradually this will bleed into all sort of consumer electronics prices like cars, TVs, ACs, refrigerators etc. It will(already is) push up the cost of cloud-compute that you need to publish/run your software product which would in turn push up the price of the software product itself.

Meanwhile, salaries won't increase and job-market will shrink so ppl would start cutting down their expenses starting with software subscriptions they don't need which will have further knock-on effect on the consumption and the broader economy.

But sure, your $200 subscription was worth it in the end.

User defined Safari Extensions was also pretty cool.

I thought the title was some kind of metaphor. Quite surprised at being a literal thing.

Oh, I've eaten this thing once while visiting Dongargarh, a Temple town located in central India.

It was the only time I had seen this thing. There were dozens of vendors selling this lined up on the stairs to the temple.

It seems the snack has gone popular now. It's quite tasteless, felt like eating soft wood.

Never expected to find this on Hackernews!

I have programmed in Python, Ruby, JS, C, Go and Java. The main reason Java receives so much flak is because it's setup is not beginner friendly. JS, Python, Ruby make it so much easier to just write a program and run it. Naturally, any novice programmer would quit Java in the setup process itself. It's not easy in Java to just write a program and run it instantly.

But once you are through that painful process, there is no other ecosystem more stable than Java. Things don't move too fast and that's a good thing for production applications.

I do dislike the verbosity sometimes while doing something that would take just a few lines in python or ruby. But IntelliJ more than makes up for it.

The India-China border is basically the Himalayas.
