This is gonna sound a bit absurd for HN, but you need to tl;dr that README. Or at the very least give a link/jump first to the core files needed to try it out.
Great question. We see customers try us for both types of value (short-term means to an end, as well as long term continuous investment).

Some use-cases we've heard from customers:

1. Onboarding oneself into a new language (for experienced engineers, learning syntax is relatively straightforward — it's the idioms, standard libraries, etc that they need exposure to)

2. Team Hackathon / general engagement — Our company leaderboard and Slack app (available to teams) offers an element of "friendly challenge" and collaboration, and teams seem to enjoy that as a way to learn new skills together. Developers are naturally curious people — so more opportunities to bond over ideas, approaches, facts, are always appreciated.

3. Prepping towards roles in platform engineering — either as general skill development for confidence, or interview prep
The URI is per-RPC, specifically at /service/method, if that helps.

On cacheability, do check out https://connect.build/docs/protocol#future-extensions - it’s something we continue to put thought into to make sure we get it right.
> noticeable when a guest mispeaks or mislabels a theory and Fridman corrects them, suddenly knowing the exact scientific term or implications.

In my experience, (Elon interview) they are _both_ misspeaking. Just one (Elon) more so than the other (Lex).

Of course, you wouldn't know this as an outsider to that field, necessarily - and it does have the effect of making both parties seem smarter than they actually are.
You sort of just explained why the State of California decided it knew better than every incorporated city, in your first sentence.
I recently used Windows 10 Internet connection sharing to do this with my bulky laptop since my ancient MacBook Air is starting to struggle with the captive portals.
Some search engines seem to just completely ignore quotes now, it's very frustrating especially when I know what I want to search and the search engine just isn't letting me.
Even so, letting the "competition" just be 75% Chrome and 25% Safari still isn't a good thing.
People that rarely (or never) give interviews are not afraid to go to Lex’s podcast. This is huge.

Could he push a little bit more? Yes he could but probably potential guests would start to refuse his invitation.

I see Lex podcast almost as a terapist. People go there, talk their mind, they are not pressed or judged.
Who do you think are the best technical writers? I have a much better sense of who they are in literature, but in technical writing I'd like to read some examples.
If you liked reading about the false positives, then you'd be interested in the true positives:

Linux has significant competition: all of the BSDs (including Darwin) and Windows.
This sort of appeal-to-the-commoner approach has been used for decades by news anchors.
Perl is right before my time b/c PHP, but the idea that "bless" is a keyword that associates an object with a class seemed like an easter egg of "what exactly was he getting at?"
This is an underrated comment :)
Having little contrast in lightness is mentioned multiple times on that page as being an explicit design goal.
> why she didn't go to the police

something leads me to believe you don't realize the can of worms this statement opens

personal traumas are highly complex for one, and more to the point, there's many reasons why someone may not report such an event to a particular authority.
This isn't a "nitty-gritty" issue. Wealthy suburbs forbid the construction of any kind of multi-family dwelling through single-family zoning rules. The "disagreement" is simple: everyone says they want more housing, as long as it's least 30 minutes away from them. There's a simple fix: stop dignifying those objections, and mandate relaxation of zoning rules statewide.
Keeping a project bisectable
They're absolutely getting gamed (by sticking clickbait keywords into the meta description or invisible content or even just in plain text at the bottom of the page - you'd think they'd have learned their lesson on Youtube but alas). This doesn't change that.
It's one thing to not officially support a browser. It's another to say "we're going to try to figure out if you're using this browser, and if so, intentionally lock you out".
Given it is transmitted by contact, it seems like avoiding hook-ups with promiscuous people and, generally, avoiding touching strangers in public if you can help it should suffice.
I’m totally fine with that. Let the other states choke on gas.
Almost everything posted on this site is blown way out of proportion. Google is a tool you can use if you want. The vast majority of people think it works great. But from the comments that get posted here you'd think the government is sending police forces to bust down your door if you don't endure an hour of google waterboarding.
They did, it has always surprised me that they threw away a market they were leading in.
The pivot happened ages ago, his podcast was originally called something like the Artificial Intelligence Podcast, and then changed to the Lex Fridmin podcast along with a change in more general guests. I do wish he focused more on computer related topics, but his guests still tend to be very interesting.

I havent thought about it much before. But the part about being your most productive and doing the best work when depressed is a bit too relatable. I can confidently say my productivity and quality of output just shined their brightest in the few lowest points i had.
Of course, also check out Connect :-) https://connect.build
Google’s policy shifted. You can show the crawler full text of an article and then put it behind a paywall for example.
But I can’t search for things I know exist and very much want to find. I could previously do this with the same search syntax, really hoping this announcement means I can again.

And if that seems dramatic, in the intervening period do you want to know what Google served me for very specific search terms? Malicious content and very little else.
Regardless of whether one might call such a response as being “cutesy”, it’s not the sort of response we are discussing here. The problem with the cutesy messages being discussed here is not that they are cutesy per se, but that their cutesy aspect is uninformative and quite possibly annoying.
As I was designing UI for a recent project a realized that color is a subtle but powerful tool in providing a sense of depth and layering for human eyes. It's arguably even more important in today's trends of flat designs which has much less shadows, gloss, bevel and other 3d effects that were common 10-15 years ago.

In a nutshell, warmer colors for foreground content and cooler for background goes a long way in adding depth. Even when working with the same base hue. The fundamental reason this works is precisely sky/sun interaction, which is fascinating.

I used chroma.js with oklab as color space (importantly: it's perceptual). Working with HSV or RGB directly is very difficult in comparison.
My best guess is its because people pasting things in with quotes are met with no results. Stuff like error messages often quote the only unique bit of the error leaving them with no results while ignoring the quotes would give them the result they want.

Probably the vast majority of the population have no idea that quotes do anything in searches. Maybe they need some checkbox in the tools bar that makes quotes actually work if you know how they work.
Not surprised. Corporate retaliation against anyone who speaks up seems to be the de facto rule in any industry. On a slightly different topic, I've sometimes struggled working with women bosses - they are harder to impress than men! (I know it's a generalisation, but I think this is perhaps because women compete socially, and thus tend to look beyond your work too, more than men - i.e. also considering your "social ranking" within your peers and superiors to form an opinion of your competence).
I see gta level stupid driving nearly every highway trip these days. People were always stupid but the level of dumb driving I’ve seen in the past 3 years has been through the roof.

People are just being much less careful and are heavily distracted.
For question of whether SEC has jurisdiction over cryptos, there is something called "Howey Test" for anyone that is unaware of:

Under the Howey Test, a transaction qualifies as a security if it involves the following four elements:

- An investment of money

- In a common enterprise

- A reasonable expectation of profit

- Derived from the efforts of others

To be considered a security, a transaction must meet all four prongs of the Howey Test.
It appears that portraying anyone as criminals on tv will increase public perception of those groups criminality. Solution: make them Klingons.
Timo is amazing, and we wouldn't have been able to build any of this without him :)

We ported the code generators to TypeScript because - as you guessed - it was a bit of a pain to package them for NPM. We also felt that it would be more approachable for TypeScript developers to read, which we hoped would contribute to a sense that all of this isn't actually all that complex. We were a bit worried that performance might be perceivably worse, but the difference wasn't significant.
How do I run (or obtain) a Web Browser (Mosaic, Netscape)?
You disagree and commit when you need to choose one option from multiple. In this case, Marc could just choose to not sign the letter.
I can't believe in enumerating his accomplishments they left off Netscape!
An alternative is a multi step build, then running with Google’s Distroless https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless
Less about property values and more about having to interact with commoners.
My tip is to keep a dict of all the fields and the data types you expect them to be, particularly strings. In my company we have IDs that start with zeros, or are a mix of numbers and letters, and get interpreted as numeric types. I'm frequently pulling data out of the DW with the same fields, so I just have to use the dtype= arg point it to my dict and it takes care of that for me.
Not only does that benefit the site owners, it benefits Google by creating a moat. Any new entrant to search is initially restricted to the same content as you or I.
How many old jokes do we think have an origin that’s still too young?
They can also be tracked by their history if you have othe data sources. Let’s say you have cell phone data of someone. You can then correlate that with place (let’s say home and work) and time of a few purchases. This then de-anonymizes the card and the other purchases, even if they had their cellphone turned of in the delicate purchases.

What the possible hell does this have to do with anything we're talking about?
Well sure, but per the HN guidelines "Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter." (Which she states in her twitter feed)
if anyone else is confused, blue-haired is an expression that means apparently just means old.
It was also signed by Marc. It would be perfectly fine for him and his wife to have a difference of opinion, but if Laura holds a view that Marc holds to be actively harmful, as he has argued in the past, it's still hypocritical for him to endorse that view. Though I think it's more likely that Marc is just the more typical "Yes In Your Backyard" kind of hypocrite.
Or they just went with Alphabetical order when signing the letter? Order doesn’t mean much to be honest in this context - you don’t put your name on the letter unless you really agree with what’s on the letter. Now it maybe possible that Marc never co-signed this in which case he will speak out hopefully and explain his stance better.
What are you talking about? The situation in the tweet is insane and absolutely unheard of with incumbents.

I've owned multiple brand new Toyota's and have never had an issue that needed fixing under warranty in the first place, let alone a failure to fix it.
This feels gross, but if the codec costs Microsoft money I don't think I inherently have a problem with it? The alternative is that the cost is built into the price of Windows, and all Windows users have to pay for it even if they only use patent-free codecs.
Parent said run perfectly not gives the same result.
Detestable isn't a strong enough word.
Yikes! Good thing I keep a spare Android without GAPPS installed so I don’t have to do this
It’s about status and not being associated or bothered by commoners. Anything less is a ‘dump’.
"Second reminder: Did you forget to fill in our survey about your recent experience?"

I didn't forget it, I ignored it. Take the hint and sod off.
Compared to public hearings where I live, which often devolve into shouting with people forcibly removed from the room, this seemed very mild. They even said "please" and "thank you".
Will google stop suppressing political positions they don’t like?
I do a search for "how to barbaz a foo" on google.

I get the following domains as the top 5 results:

1. allaboutfoo.com
2. fooexperts.com
3. infoonfoo.com
4. foonation.com
5. thefooblog.com

The linked pages above all have

1. A table of contents section
2. About 30mb of AI, autogenerated filler ("Why should you foo?", "How does foo affect your dog?", "Can you foo a foo?", "Why you should foo twice a day?")
3. The same content plagiarized from each other's sites, just slightly reformatted/edited
4. NO ACTUAL INFORMATION ON HOW TO BARBAZ THE FOO

It's 2022, and there's still no way to filter this garbage out?
"Competition" requires competitors to actually compete. Firefox is clearly not interested.

If you want me to use a competitor, build one that doesn't fuck me over. Begging me to use something because "the other guy is too big!" is just not going to fly when I have to actually use it for practical purposes.
Tether is gasoline they print new tethers out of thin air and use them to purchase bitcoin in the market, propping up the price of bitcoin.
That will be a cool feature when they implement it.
I hate captive portals whenever I’m carrying a few pi zeros / esp32s to tinker with because I cannot directly connect them to the wifi.

Rather than building your own I would highly suggest looking into Gl.Inet routers because they come pre flashed with OpenWRT and support handling captive portals
I'm not terribly surprised. In my experience the calls for more housing from the wealthy and business class are disingenuous; more often really a call for more apartments to be built exclusively in neighbourhoods dominated by the poor and working class and a continued ban of apartments in the low density single family home areas that the wealthy business owning class live in.

Often this is called the "Grand Bargain," that new housing can be allowed, but only if it is constrained to a tiny area (which becomes increasingly dense), while the bulk of single family homes are left untouched.

The challenge for voters is to discern between those that are calling for more housing that are genuine YIMBYs, that want to build more housing for everyone more equitably, everywhere in all neighbourhoods, and those like Andreessen, which merely want to continue on with Grand Bargain thinking, and want to continue the status quo by which the poors live as far as possible away from him.
Autosummarized HN (With GPT3)
This is the definition and I don't blame him.
Your answer here is reinforcing OP's point. It's a choice. You can choose to have "faith" in something or not.

Because you "simply cannot" you've made a choice.
Yeah. Reminds me of a video game class i took where one of my cohorts thought of doing a prison simulator. The guy who had the idea was white and saw no problem with the racial composition of the simulated prison. Yikes
For further context, "A blue rinse is a dilute hair dye used to reduce the yellowed appearance of grey or white hair."
One way in which it is not simple is that you can't set what the "max" of the bar is and have it auto-calculate the percentage. Like, if I have 7 tasks to accomplish, I have to manually keep track of the percentage to increase it by, and since 7 doesn't increase cleanly, I probably have to custom-code the final update to 100 manually, or it'll be just under or over, depending on how I round. Or maybe I have a variable number of tasks, and instead of increasing by a constant, I have to have separate variables for calculating the amount to increase by.

I know every feature added to something simple adds unforeseen levels of complexity, but this choice doesn't eliminate complexity, it just moves the complexity to calling code, and for nearly every use case.
Ahh, I see you aren’t married.
Isn't it ironic that the most expensive android phones (samsungs) are the ones that come with the most crapware installed?
I don't think it's only that. I've been walking & biking in my city a long time and once cars fully came back the degree of driver hostility to pedestrians and cyclists was noticeably increased. I mean stuff like intentionally swerving towards pedestrians in the crosswalk to scare them, physically pushing a car up against cyclists waiting at a light, actual malice shit.

For a while I thought I was just not used to high traffic anymore, or imagining it or whatever. But I've heard conversations about this so many different times from so many completely different people over the last couple years now.
There was a time when sentiment was very against GitHub. Iirc, it was when prices went up before Microsoft acquired the company.

GitLab dined on that, and really any time negative press has come from GitHub.

I don’t think people would have been pushed the move it to GitLab narrative If they had foreseen this.
And the vast majority of the population is who use Google now, rather than web enthusiasts. It was probably causing people to get no results when they had quotes, and most people wouldn't know why.
The book is Probability and Related Topics in Physical Sciences by Mark Kac.
I disagree about the "doesn't add value" part when talking about introducing an abstraction over the AWS sdk: with mocks, it allows one to simulate failures, hung connections, and reproduce bugs without trying to contort an actual AWS account into the bad configuration that one might encounter in the real world

Your assertion about "cheaper" is also only true if one remembers to tear down all those resources when finished testing against them
This is literally what happens to California’s (particularly SoCal and LA’s) public infrastructure all the time. Liberal California will vote for extended mass transit, homeless housing, low cost/public clinics, etc and then when it comes time to build them NIMBYism leaves them in perpetual limbo.

I love my home, but this is easily one of it’s biggest hypocrisies and the thing most strangling it.
I don't understand why they never added + back after Google+ finally died. When I was at Google I actually went as far as looking for the code to re-enable it in superroot. If I recall correctly I actually found some of the code but never had time to learn enough about superroot to make and test a CL.

Of course I probably wouldn't have actually been able to get it changed back just by making a CL but at least I would have learned why it couldn't be changed back.
I can't agree anymore.

GitHub action or GitHub bot helps us complete a lot of tedious work, and it is replicable. We can apply the practical experience of other excellent open-source projects to our own projects by installing GitHub APP easily or fork GitHub Action of other repositories, so as to improve production efficiency.

Because of this, the activity of robots increases so frequently.
They created a device which they can successfully and safely move through blood vessels in the brain without causing injury and you characterize it as "Some college guys move coated wire with magnets"?!

I mean yes. Sort of like saying a covid vaccine is "some people mixing chemicals in test tubes".
At least basic HTML and Javascript can be spun up with little more than a text editor and a modern browser.

Also all the old platforms either do or soon will live on forever in Javascript/WASM based emulators.
Make that Excel auto conversions can be switched off entirely
Yeah, time will tell. Ford and Edison probably lived similar lives. Their legacies are tarnished by their abuse now.

The packaging multiple images into one is unintuitive to me, especially when packaging a database with an app. What does this mean generally with image pulling and loading in kubernetes? Why is this a good idea for databases? Today we think of them as separate running entities. We have one database service, which multiple applications talk to today. How does Acorn work within / related to how we currently think about running services today. The docs leave one wanting and wondering.
Are any modern airplanes actually impacted in any meaningful way by any of the radios in an iPhone?
The infamous top comment from the HN Launch of Dropbox [1] which has been widely discussed and dismissed over the years.

This is the comment that got me onto thinking: "how awesome would it be to have a software capable of decoupling the UI from the actual storage" so you wouldn't be tied to one vendor and do so by implementing a simple programming interface [2]

I did open source my solution [3] and have refined it over the year with plugins that implement storage for any storage you could think of like SFTP, S3, Samba, WebDAV and many more. Most of the money is coming from enterprise who need help to join authentication, authorisation and storage in 1 complete solution to do things like SAML based SSO on S3, 2FA layer on a samba server, audit capabilities, ....

The part i'm super proud of is it feel faster to browse Dropbox from my app than it is from Dropbox itself [4]

[4] the technic that's used consist in caching the list of files/folder in indexDB and render the content of a folder with the data coming from indexDB first then refresh it with the new data essentially making a visit to an folder you've seen before be instant without any loading whatsoever. It's very simple but it seems nobody else is doing it

Protein Families Pfam Database Is Shutting Down
In 1992, our school introduced computers. I think we were the 3rd school in that tiny state in the corner of India. I have a story of how I did an uprising so that almost no one would want to do computers, leaving only a few of us to have all six computers to ourselves. But that is the story for another day.

In the winter of 1993, I learned QBasic enough to write a tiny program (game). I used graph paper to calculate the position of a heart-shaped object on a robot-like figure. You move the cursors to shoot (like Space Invaders or something like that). When hitting the heart, it types out a name (which I asked when starting the gameplay).

I had gotten my friends to arrange for "the girl" to play the game in a fateful extra class while we were preparing for our upcoming state-level 10th examination.

Yes, she did play the game after I taught her how to, and instead of just her name, it said something like "Love you, NAME." She became my first girlfriend, my first kiss. I think the whole school knew that.

Now, we have all grown up, with families, and the whole Class of '93 is still in a tiny group communicating regularly. Everyone still teases me to this day, including my wife, who is good friends with all the girls from our Class.
