Hacker news still going strong, you get the drama stories here and there but the focus is on the technology
And B must be for Body of course

I just tried and got "about 40,000 billion kilometers". Also the references are completely different from the ones in the post, so I guess it was a ranking issue
AI is just too unpredictable, hard to know what's accurate and you end up doing the work yourself anyways
A once in a lifetime experience!
that's awesome, did not know about that handy operator!
The other command could just be printf '' >> file to not overwrite it. Or even simpler >>file and then interrupt
I generally agree and like this strategy, but to add to the other comment about catching reimplemented code, there's just some code quality reviewing that cannot be done by automating tooling right now.
Some scenarios come to mind:
- code is written in a brittle fashion, especially with external data, where it's difficult to unit test every type of input; generally you might catch improper assumptions about the data in the code
- code reimplements a more battle tested functionality, or uses a library no longer maintained or is possibly unreliable
- code that the test coverage unintentionally misses due to code being located outside of the test path
- poor abstractions, shallow interfaces
It's hard to catch these without understanding context, so I agree a code review meets are helpful and establishing domain owners. But I think you still need PR reviews to document these potential problems

Gateway: For some late payoff, hard sci-fi content, I like Frederik Pohl quite a lot. His stuff is between classic and contemporary, and balances technology with sophisticated plot and characters. I greatly enjoyed reading his Gateway series this year, could be one of my favorites.
Mass Effect: I was pleasantly surprised with Mass Effect: Andromeda Annihilation. I moderately enjoyed the Mass Effect video game series, and thought this companion novel could tank, but it was actually a really fun read, with great characters and immersion. The plot is orthogonal to the main plot points of the video games, rather than extensions of them, which I thought gave it breathing room for novel ideas.
