Good to have a slightly less breathless shiny-shiny summary: some of these look useful, and one in particular is a bit of a relief!

This may not apply to HN, but I wonder about sites that use JS in the page doing clever timgs with time and apparently ignore the possibility of (at least) skew between local time and time at the server. I remember doing sysadmin for a clie

Tools to help devs and others improve both client and server ends of feeds are to be welcomed, considering just how badly some implementations are... https://www.earth.org.uk/RSS-efficiency.html

People are asked not to post SPAM (eg penis pills and crypto), or porn or warez or worse, indeed insist on it, so why is political polemic categorically different? Real question: I'm not sure how I'd draw the line algorithmically

Or a woman who has allegedly eaten nothing but orange pips since she was 3 or something, while hustlin' apps to summarise CVs... The boundary between 'political' and not is hard to pin down though - articles that are clearly

Why do you want to become rich? If it is only to avoid office life then there are other arguably more pleasant ways to achieve that. I have semi-retired in my 50s on the back of a few interesing but small startups and I am now a PhD stude

I am now doing research. I am supporting that with model coding, and still hacking my home control systems and servers because it's fun and informative and gives me fine control where I want it.

Your claim is simply untrue AFAIK. A social media site typically takes a soft licence allowing it to store and reproduce your content (which is needed to be able to function), and maybe use it in marketing. Some go a little further, but pl

My uncle, who was a top UK lawyer but not really into tech, basically reinvented a spreadsheet on paper spread over his office floor, while working on a hige planning case. Yes, I think that basic structure will pop out of a number of prob

You appreciate that the contrast that is being highlighted in the paper is the missing 8 orders of magnitude? A little bit more than the OOM baseline claim of 10bps highlighted is neither here nor there.

I am very very annoyed by many of the shallow "it's obviously wrong" comments on this story. And thank you to those rebutting more politely than I feel inclined to. It's a fascinating paper and something that I have bee

That's very kind, but I have all the (SR)MHRV units that I can reasonably fit! FWIW the email address on your site page is bouncing for me. Please do add my email (in my profile here) to a low-volume mailing/updates list if you ha

Good project. I've added links from my MHRV pages which have quite good traction on search. Small note: the older single-room unit we have with the fan on the outside can ice up and make horrible noises then stall at a few degrees bel

Just maybe no one should be regarding coming round a blind corner at 60mph as any more sensible than crossing the road without looking ... especially given that the motorist is a lethal danger to others...

As a cheat last year, and I may do it again this year, I spent all of one day on one track so that I had no scheduling decisions to make at all that day!

Yes! I sometimes just refuse to continue with sites that start as blank without JS, or require many clicks in NoScript to turn on layers and layers of JS. On my current main site most pages have no JS at all, and only on a couple is it esse

I am not authorised to give financial advice etc etc but I think that it makes sense to have a substantial fraction of assets (but not all) where you live or correlated with its market, especially retirement funds. So I moved mainly from t

That is indeed possible, and generally one has been missing out if not in the US market (I used to sit on derivs/credit/etc desks, though not myself trading), but the near-term risks from likely innumerate, cruel and reckless US p

That's not the reason that I just moved most of my/family investments away from US markets, but it is another good one.
