I don't know if I understand what you're asking... what meaning would there be in measuring "an odd number of galaxies within a specific radius of a red giant star"? It would be purely from our point of view, those galax

I know that what I'm about to say isn't constructive in any way but after looking at the image and scrolling around a bit I have this echo in my head: that's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I actually do

I could go point by point on the first part of your reply, but there is something underlying your view that makes me feel we come from places that work a little different. I don't know where you're from, I'm from Italy so let

I'm not saying you cannot use it, in fact I use it (with minor hassles here and there) But this last step is taking ages, what I don't understand is why it had to be such a painful process without a migration path (hence we are st

I think Wayland is a nice way forward from X, right now it's still not a replacement because of how central X is and how much stuff interfaces with it specifically or make assumptions about X features. (and so indeed, Wayland kind of b

Each one of us has his or her own way of expressing opinions, from my point of view there is more than just those three lines of text in what I wrote, some people got it, other people didn't, and that's what I find great about HN

Well I guess we are discussing different angles of this matter, I actually didn't thought that my comment would go to the top since it was supposed to be a random naive statement. I'm not about making things that simple by default

Yeah that was my point, 100%! And by the way I really like you music analogy, and it’s emblematic of something even larger: they read about Shithouse Rats on Rolling Stone, named after a song of Bob Dylan or Muddy Waters or the group itself

Glad to see that you actually know what is right ;) All tools can be bad, but that means that probably you cannot use it well or build something good with it. Every good enough tool can be used to build something good enough, or else it wou

This article keeps coming up every once in a while and reminds me of all those “Why JS sucks”, “Never use PHP”, “Java is enterprise only”, “Ruby only works on hobby projects” etc... But then in real life people built great software with all

I finally deleted WhatsApp, even if here in Europe it’s the ubiquitous messaging application and maybe things will be a little complicated at first. I should’ve done this long ago, the same day it was bought by Facebook. Anyway we have so m

I had to change my mother tongue from Italian to Portuguese when I was 6 and it was kind of strange, but after a while it simply felt normal except for a couple of things. I'm not dyslexic but sometimes it is hard for me to focus on lo

As blopeur said in another reply you need to feed data to the supercomputer, and as parallelizable as your algorithm may be some data might need to be shared between nodes at some point, just to name a couple of examples. If you connect a l

Just a small list: - emptying supermarkets and fighting for products that finish instead of waiting for the shelves to be refurbished (with police interventions, etc.). I've seen people buy 20kg of pasta or 100 water bottles on Sunday

Just to clarify, as I said it was not an ad tracker, all data was ours and ours only. It was 1st party tracking using a 3rd party service that was blocked by ad blockers. Anyway we don't use cookies for *.mycompany.com, and it was a se

Thanks for the cleverness! As for the evil, it was a tracker whose data wasn't shared with 3rd parties, we needed to gather as much data about our users as possible since we are incredibly understaffed (one handles the business, one se
