This is magnificent!
Gave me roller-coaster ride across 40 years of gathering knowledge about computers and networks.
I'm very jealous of whoever created that. Well done!
- ahofmann 2mo agoWhile I also enjoyed it very much, some thing are strangely ordered and not how I would expect someone with such knowledge of all the moving parts in a request, would build such a site. So for me it feels like an LLM has build it and the human with the prompt saw it and said "eh, good enough".
- mimischi 2mo agoAgreed. This reeks LLM writing with no human oversight, or at least a human with no writing experience. The text underneath “The Click” is an immediate giveaway: > Five milliseconds of hardware and browser bookkeeping before a single byte leaves the laptop. I don’t even know how to describe it, but the “[…] before X” sentence style stands out to me.

- samlinnfer 2mo agoNot really, jealous is defined as envious (being envious is one of the definitions of being jealous). For common usage they are equivalent, e.g. I'm jealous of X is the same as I'm envious of X.
- sriram_malhar 2mo agoThey may be equivalent in common parlance, but that’s a bit like saying it is ok to use ‘your’ instead of “you’re” just because it is so common. We say “jealously guarded’ not ‘enviously guarded’ for a reason. Jealousy is about being protective of your own possessions and relationships; you feel jealousy if your spouse responds well to a coworker’s flirtations. Envy is when you find think of the coworker’s luck in having a good looking spouse
- samlinnfer 2mo agohttps://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jealous https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jealous 1: hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage : envious >His success made his old friends jealous. >They were jealous of his success. I rest my case.
- sriram_malhar 2mo agoIf you check "jealousy" (instead of "jealous") on MW, you get this editorial note: Depending on who you ask, jealousy and envy are either exact synonyms, totally different words, or near-synonyms with some degree of semantic overlap and some differences. It is difficult to make the case, based on the evidence of usage that we have, for either of the first two possibilities. Both jealousy and envy are often used to indicate that a person is covetous of something that someone else has, but jealousy carries the particular sense of “zealous vigilance” and tends to be applied more exclusively to feelings of protectiveness regarding one’s own advantages or attachments. In the domain of romance, it is more commonly found than envy. If you were to say “your salt-shaker collection fills me with jealousy,” most people would take it to mean much the same thing as “your salt-shaker collection fills me with envy.” But if someone made a flirtatious comment to your partner, you would likely say that it caused you jealousy, not envy. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jealousy https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jealousy
- moefh 2mo agoLisa's dictionary is different from widely-used real dictionaries. Here's what Merriam-Webster says[1]: Some assert that only envious is correctly used to describe someone who feels or shows a very strong desire for something that belongs to someone else, but in truth both envious and jealous commonly carry this meaning. Jealous alone is used to describe someone who tends to suspect unfaithfulness. [1] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/envious https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/envious
- stevepotter 2mo agoI once asked a question like this for an interview. "Tell me what happens when you press the Buy button on a web site". It really helped me gauge a sense for the person's interests and expertise. Like some folks just talked about javascript and some node code. Others talked about tcp a bit, some got into cloud stuff. It was really telling. Not bad or good, just a great way to learn where someone's head is at and was a fun back-and-forth conversation. This web site is basically a cheat code for that question lol. So well done, kudos to the author. Bookmarked and shared
