Can I ask you to expand on this? I've never worn knit socks, and I don't think I've ever seen a knit T-shirt, so I'm not quite sure what to look for (or at) :)

I'm curious about how you 'harvest' a section of tube without it unraveling. Maybe cut it around, remove the little bits of yarn, then unravel a ways on purpose, and knit the unraveled yarn through the edge like a normal bind

Is anyone else disappointed that you can't buy the wind-knitting device itself, only scarves knitted from the device? :)

It feels like the title here isn't accurate - we haven't lost the satellite at all. It wasn't destroyed, it wasn't de-orbited (on purpose or accidentally), it wasn't hacked or hijacked. Can we ask dang to change th

It's weirdly hilarious that they allow day-old birds, and adult birds, but apparently nothing in between. So you can order chicks by mail, but you can't return them by mail (unless birth + packaging + USPS shipping, including deli

I don't remember why I looked this up in Washington state, USA a while back (bad work by a plumber, I think) but here in WA I think there's also a rule/law that you can only take individuals to small claims court. There'

On the one hand, we don't (hello Photoshop!) On the other hand, it looks like the output of a typewriter (including individual variation amongst typed letters as the typewriter has small variations in the amount of ink that's used

Can I ask which humanities? I'm probably showing my bias here, but I'm (respectfully) surprised that, say, poets would want to work in LaTeX :)

This is excellent! Thank you for posting and best wishes for your success with this! I'm teaching a class next year that'll have college-level students learning to use the command line and this looks perfect. Nowadays most &#x27

genuine question: can anyone expand on this? This is the first I've heard of this and I'd love to know more. What is it about AI generated resumes that get paste AI resume filters that manually-written resumes don't have?

I'm new to RAG and have a question: how do you get all the numbers into the context window? Does the RAG part look up just the needed number? I think that Gemini has a million token window (yes?) - do you have access to a model with a

FWIW - 'Kermit' is now an option in desktop MS Word. Click on the font drop-down box and it's listed alphabetically. I assume it's in the web app too but haven't checked. Interestingly, it was listed in the font d

Possibly off-topic, but if you're looking to reduce your costs you should look at acrylic yarn. There's also cotton yarn if you're looking for something less scratchy :)

Is this open / free / something we can download and try out? I did a super-brief search on the page but "download" didn't turn up any results. Does anyone else know where we can download this from?

I'm seeing a lot of discussion here about how to prepare your phone for a border crossing, which is fascinating. I was wondering about a different strategy: what about leaving your phone at home and then buying a new one after you&#x27

I don't have the reference, but apparently there used to be US laws requiring producer / manufacturing / distributing companies to sell to all grocery stores at the same price. Because of this regional and local grocery stor

If you're willing to share I'd be interested in hearing more about what you learned. What is it about those two codebases that you've used to inform your own choices? The kernels are pretty sizeable and pretty specialized pi

For what it's worth, I had the same reaction as you. The still image of the YouTube video prominently features a woman standing, arms spread, with her nipples clearly visible because she's not wearing a bra under her shirt. Other

Also for reference, for those who aren't familiar with typo and don't want to read the C source code listed above (side-comment: citing the comment-free source code 'for reference' is hilarious. Thank you for the laugh

I was gonna (silently) disagree with you, but in the last couple of weeks I updated Windows and now it's periodically asking if it can know my location. I'm not clear if Windows is asking, or it's asking on behalf of a speci

Can you provide a link(s)? A super-brief spin through Amazon doesn't show anything like that. And <= $30 is within the 'impulse buy' range, so I'm very interested to know more, if you're up for sharing :)

Genuine question - the HN title says "CLI to..." but looking at the GitHub repo I don't see any CLI-centric documentation. I do see $ himalaya envelope list --account posteo --folder Archives.FOSS --page 2 and a scre
