Hi HN, I'm sharing this project because it's finally in a state I'm happy to show to others. It's my first effort to make use of the skills you learn in Fast.ai's MOOC (part 1). The Fast.ai course encourages experim

While I was in undergrad (early 2010s at a major public university) the engineering machines dual-booted Windows and RHEL. We also had servers running RHEL, accessible via VNC and SSH. I liked the setup, it was very reliable and I found it

I have a personal project that saves state to the URL's hash ( https://www.rebalancecalc.com ). I do that because I wanted users to be able to save their state without burdening those users with accounts or burdening myself w

My understanding is that many of the oligarchs quite literally stole what they have during the 1990s free-for-all (Soviet collapse). This is opposed to many western business people who won by making better products and generally advancing o

That link is cool, I wasn't aware the CIA has a literal VC firm! Still, I'm skeptical. The link doesn't really say In-Q-Tel influenced Google directly, I especially don't see evidence for influence during Google's e

Off the top of my head, disabling uBlock has been the only way to unblock on-and-off trouble with some ATT-owned websites (ATT's own website, ATTWatchTV.com, etc) and owner.ford.com (original, the beta works fine). My experience has be

They have these at the station I use along my commute. I also find it quite annoying. Pro tip I came across online a bit back: pressing one of the buttons on the right will mute the screen. In my experience the button one down from the top

I know the word gets a bad rap, but I feel entitlement is a better word. Driving is a privilege, you have to prove yourself worthy and it can be revoked relatively easily. Voting is (typically) a positive right - an entitlement, it’s gurant

Funny anecdote, my fiance used to live in midtown Detroit near the Whole Foods. At the time the groceries situation was worse, it was more-or-less a food desert other than that Whole Foods [0]. I don't know how folks who can't aff

I disagree with this assertion. Say you move to a lower cost of living area, say 6% cheaper, and your wages decrease by the same amount as the change in COL. Now all your expenses are 6% lower, but your money left after expenses is also 6%

It’s been shockingly easy, actually! I do relatively few orders (2 per month) and can get a record of my filled orders [0] on the day I know my buys will occur. I plug those automated buys into a spreadsheet where I maintain a record of my

Dang, I was looking everywhere for something like this just a couple months ago! I ended up digging through the GDAX API docs, writing a node script, and scheduling it [0], but I'd rather not be in the business of script maintenance. T

This is a really big point I've never considered! I don't have kids, so I'm definitely coming from a place of ignorance. On planes and trains I never see car seats used, which I assume is because crashes are so unlikely on th

This is a neat tool! I had too much fun identifying minimal titles, particularly my coming post "(YC S0000009)" with 99.3% probability of success and a 0% flag probability.

It's an interesting result, but it's important to note there are likely further developments in this field of study (the paper was published in May 2016). Thanks to the age, there's some really good Reddit threads [0][1]! [0]

It would be spectacular to have a tool like this to enforce, and automatically revise, code style guidelines as languages evolve. Keeping up with something like the C++ Core Guidelines [0] can be a fair amount of work, as you need to respec

I disagree. King county voters just funded a $54 billion, 30+ year light rail and transit development plan last November[0]. I actually think this new rail plan has a great chance of happening. Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, and surrounding ar

Beyond that, I find those that want to run Linux on a Surface often put it in Hyper-V and use putty + WinSCP + $TEXT_EDITOR_OF_CHOICE wired up to WinSCP. Heck, now there's the Windows subsystem for Linux. X11 and VNC help if you want a

Honestly, this is mostly an issue of syntax (a problem, but one that is remedied with a quick look-up table/cheat sheet). Giving a legend explaining those symbols would turn the statement into this: Given a function (f) that maps integ
