Quit then. Do what you want.

I keep wondering how articles make it up to the first page. This one, for example, an article hosted by substack. A service with terrible user interface, that tries to make you think that someone is doing you a favour for letting you read their literature without paying, whereas... the opposite is true.

The article itself is irrelevant but since I read it, I can tell that it is a classical nonsensical piece on the benefits of listening to children. The author lacks any formal qualification on teaching from what I could also find.

In other terms a complete time waster.

Does anyone find this interesting?

I respect Peter Norvig as a programmer and a problem solver. I've taken a course taught by him in the early mooc days that I really enjoyed.

What I don't understand how does something like that makes it to the top of Hacker News.

I used to visit HN to get smarter, lately I feel that I am getting dumber.

How is this low level exactly?

I am really not getting this. If you run Typescript on both ends, can't you just share the source code that defines the types?

If you think that users can setup-configure their dns servers then this feature (DOH) is completely useless.

I guess the point is valid for users that don't want / are not allowed / cannot configure the dns server of their operating system.

How hard can it be for Firefox to embed its own recursive resolver that talks only to the root servers? If you are really concerned about privacy that’s the only way to go. Other than that it makes little sense to me to trust one company over another.

This was superseded by Sonic Pi https://sonic-pi.net/.

The author has said that if he would do it in Erlang if he was starting again now.

Here's a talk with him and the late Joe Armstrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SUdnOUKGmo

I'm a person that wanted to give them another chance and got my self a Lumia 930. They didn't deserve it. Sometimes I get the feeling they are incompetent.
