“Show HN” is generally reserved for things the author themself created. Looking at your post history, you’ve made “Show HN” posts on a wide variety of topics every couple days. If you made all those things yourself, that’s incredible, and

> Apartments, obviously, need operable windows to vent cooking fumes and brighten living space. I for one would be perfectly happy to rent an apartment without any windows if it meant getting a place located in the heart of a major city.

Class of 2021 UC Berkeley CS grad chiming in. It is untrue that it’s in Haas Pavilion, the course scaled by making lectures available online. The semester I took the course, it had over 2000 students and somewhere around 100 TAs IIRC.

This was a long time coming. I graduated in 2021, and while the UC Berkeley computer science program is still absolutely stellar, it was starting to collapse under its own weight. While it scaled admirably, there are limits. I TA’ed operat

Zstandard really is incredible. Anywhere I would’ve previously compressed things with gzip I now universally prefer to use Zstandard instead. It’s a shame it’s not supported as a HTTP Content-Encoding in web browsers.
