I had the same initial reaction as the other person. Should be easy right? I think you’re right though, there are probably many more steps to getting this right than it seems on the surface. I kind of want to take your 50 line challenge how

I was also expecting to see probabilities here. Does anyone know of any other similar software that does do probabilities?

I drink probably 3-5 cups a day consistently, either black or a small amount of cream. I don’t know why, but I am not sensitive to caffeine at all. I don’t get ‘wired’ or energized from it. Been that way my whole life, even as a kid consumi

This is the same for me, I very recently got over the hump, and finally am a proficient Vim-er! I never cared as much about the efficiency. Not talked about enough, is the fact that Vim is simply fun . I simply enjoy typing with it. You’re

You point is interesting how speech patterns catch on and become the phrase 'du jour'. I think the internet has changed that dynamic, it used to be only withing people you saw face to face. Now we're exposed to a much wider r

Yeah it’s just a rocket lawyer blog post, trying to sell their services, but I actually found it it very informative. The list of documents whose demand has gone up during the pandemic is interesting to browse. It’s not an area I tend to th

I tested on my iPhone and it does not have this behavior. It went to the correct site on Safari & on Firefox. Why is he demonstrating on random phones in an Apple store? That’s not really a good example of a ‘clean’, out of the box devi

Just messing around, couldn’t help myself. I’ve ranted in the past about this, and had folks tell me they prefer a Twitter thread. So there’s that, and once I learned about thread reader, my life was changed! I’ll check the podcast out!

C’mon man! A blog post just to link to a twitter thread? Should be the other way around ;p For those like me, averse to twitter threads, a more readable form. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1274859897826488322.html?

Opinions or preferences aside, I thought this was very well written! Enjoyable to read, and I learned a lot about pixels, fonts, screens et-cetera that I did not know before!

Due to the god awful state of Microsoft Teams conferencing, we recently started trying Chime at my new job. There are still some hiccups, but I can vouch that the quality of both audio and video is very good on Chime. We have also used GoTo

Thanks, I see now that I overstated the number of for profit hospitals. You are right, though. They all depend on us using them.

Oh, thanks. well maybe I’m wrong about the amount of for profit hospitals, I’ll look into it. I realize now that I could have left that part out in my rant. Either way, non profits are affected the same way from lack of traffic/ volume

I think it is more complicated than that. Almost all states very early on had some level of 'lock-down', stay at home order, or what have you. This has limited movement of people, and as a side effect, or maybe even direct order f

You are right, Zoom was a right place right time thing. Doesn’t bother me other people saying it, but I’ve never used Zoom once, nor do I have any plans to, so I don’t see it making it into my vocabulary. I don’t get it either, but Animal c

Agreed! It has been my go-to javascript table library for a while. Can't say enough good things about it. That being said, Grid.js looks like a nice upstart project. I will have to keep my eyes on it

I’m not really sure why this is important? What’s to keep this from spiraling out of control, and taken over by trolls? What will this look like once it expands beyond the HN audience? This is a chat roulette clone, we’re all remember how t

I’ve tried the menus on Google maps as well, but found them to be even more inaccurate than various delivery services. I assume if a restaurant maintains their google presence they can edit their menu by hand but this seems to be rare. Othe

Apparently it actually is a matter of the size of the dose. I think it is a misconception a lot of us had early on that any contact at all with the virus would cause infection. Note, we still don’t know what the critical dose is, but smal

I agree 100% with you. I think the expectations of the parent comment are very misplaced. Restaurant owners are usually not tech people, nor can many of them afford to hire tech people. To expect all restaurants to pay exorbitant amounts of

Thanks, I think I will try again with Arabian. It’s been a while since I tried, I think Armbian was not available at that time. Something must have been wrong with the other Ubuntu/ Debian builds I tried.
