Mate, you're on HN, you live probably in a bubble made of better software developers than the overwhelming majority out there.

I don't think so, I think SQL is unintuitive and hard to parse. Enough ppl disagree with me though judging by it's success it was clearly good enough

This won't happen in most cases because the valuable thing is largely the knowledge encoded in the software, which the buyers of the software don't have and don't want to have since they're focused on their own business.

There's also, of course, the not insignificant value in the software itself actually working, being operated, being updated when necessary, all of that. Again just extra hassle no business will want to shoulder when they can just buy something that does it for them.


Actually, maybe the user was being sarcastic. Let me think this through carefully...

Yet it is not in the submission. How am I to know you all assume male sporting events?

The answer to AI resume filter is AI, if you are not utilizing it as part of your job application process to magnify your output then you are likely going to get bottlenecked from the supply side of the market.

Also, in the US until very recently, there was no path for women athletes to make sports their career after college. Soccer could be a path to a scholarship but you were going to have to get a "real" job after that even if you wanted to continue to pursue Olympic or World Cup level goals in the sport. The NWSL is changing that but salaries are still nowhere near the men's game, nor any other male dominated professional league.

This is a common arrangement. The replaceable batteries in phones also usually have 3 or 4 terminals for a thermistor.

I suspect many of those who have 3D printers may also have enough scraps of plastic lying around to be able to make something like this from; a few sheets cut and solvent-welded together would likely be stronger.


Frankly that is a bad comparison. Soccer is incredibly popular at a youth level. The talent pool is there and the money is there. How big is the Brazilian baseball economy? As the article states there is about $1.5bn in player value in the MLS. Not to mention that our top tier talent is usually exported to Europe where there is an order of magnitude more money available for the sport. My argument is we have a big talent pool of kids who want to be successful in soccer and we have not learned how to manage it at scale. The talent market of potential players is incredibly fragmented.

Edit: typos


The flip side is that if you have that creative control, then LLMs have _definitely_ sucked the joy out of programming, and in the worst way.

The danger to democracy has always been uninformed voters.

Now it is mis-informed voters.


check out the work of Robert Pirsig.

one of myriad ways to define "quality" I use often is 'as the intersection of art and science'


If all you see in soccer is fake flopping, that means you do not really appreciate nor understand the game, you do not understand what hard and what's easy, the incredible acrobatic feats the players do, the intricate positional maneuvers, etc

The fake flopping happens sometimes, but overall it hardly detracts from the game. It would be like me saying false starts is why I don't watch the 100 m dash.

And I'd be wary of thinking a fall is fake when the referee and the linesmen who are actually on the field think otherwise. Note that soccer is mostly not supposed to be a physical contact game. It was much more like that up to the 1070s. In fact, the infamous and relentless fouling of Pelé in the 1966 World Cup was a major catalyst for the creation of the red and yellow card system.


Yeah. It's easy to forget that sometimes.

I think it has now been said in many other threads or forums. But it is a good summary.

It's the culture.

I'm from Spain and living in Mexico. Football in these countries is almost like a religion.


No it doesn't.

Sure, I was being extreme. The danger is getting stuck, like in “Glory Days” by Springsteen, or Brando in “On the Waterfront.” People especially get stuck on their high school years.

> Meteorites don't have any of toxic chemicals used to build a server with ... solar panels

Right. The toxic chemicals found in solar panels known as silicon, aluminum, copper, and trace amounts of lead. These chemicals are only found in fuming Earthbound laboratories, and are nowhere else in the universe.


Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions fans have something to say about fan violence.

No, it’s definitely a lot less likely and probably an edge case you can ignore in practice

That's horrible but also a stark reminder for how quickly life can change for any one of us...

This is why I stopped playing Call of Duty after the original Modern Warfare 2. After self hosting servers were removed, the game became less fun.

Solutions to this modern problem was solved during the dialup and LAN party era. None of those single player games required an online launcher.


As someone with less than stellar knees who skis a lot, ski/ride powder. It's way easier on the body and more fun too. And maybe skip the big jumps. You can definitely still ride big/steep enough mountains for a big adrenaline rush.

Can you give an example of a friendly fire on a warship consisting of continuous air and naval attack over the course of two hours? Just one? Friendly fire will suffice, I am not even asking about some other country doing the same to the US.

As for Israel motivation it's pretty obvious why they did it - they wanted to blame the attack on Egypt and involve the US in the war. Though it does not really matter, even you are unable to deny that Israel attacked the US ship, it's an empirical fact.


The goal is - and I think they have achieved it - is that you don't have to think about it. They handle sync, and they do it reliably.

Football (or soccer for you) can be insanely high tempo and insanely slow and boring. Depends on the game.

But the low scoring is actually one of the most important things in soccer.

A goal in soccer is so much more precious than in any other sport. It can win you the game, as almost a third of games have one or less goals in the game. So the euphoria when the team scores outweigh any "boringness" that preceded it. It can only be compared to a sudden death win in hockey (another relatively low scoring game, though a not as low as soccer).

Those not into soccer don't really understand this, and many have tried to increase the number of goals scored. But it doesn't make the game better. An 8-2 score is much more boring than a 2-0 game, as the nerve is there all game.


I think the part where she abandoned people, including one prisoner, to a murderous gang of con artists / burgeoning cultists is more relevant than precisely what she abandoned them for. I'm reasonably sure that my interpretation is not how the author (C. S. Lewis) interpreted this part of the story, though.

Also, she wasn't damned by the end of the last Narnia book (rather, she's expected to be damned, but it is not yet certain).


C, C++ and Rust are the only ones that stuck, but programming languages graveyard is full of C++ killers. Rust is around because it offered something new.

But the os can't uninstall the native app at any time unprompted right
