IMO they should be required to offer the same API they use when they release an app that's using it. I don't think it has to be stable - it just has to be at the level of maturity that their internal apps are using. That does re

I agree with you in the long term, but like the joke about solving something with regular expressions: now you have two problems. This is an argument for an intervention to reduce a certain harm in a certain way now. We should also, indepen

I think most estimates place the budget of GTA 6 at well north of $1000M. That said, based on public data, it's #2 on wikipedia[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_video_g...

It certainly can - I think artificial sweeteners are great examples. There are experimental studies that show that artificial sweeteners can cause cancer in animal studies, but as of yet there's no clear evidence of that showing up for

Your linked evidence doesn't support what you say. There are plenty of examples of concerning ingredients turning up in tattoo inks (a recent study found many inks have unlisted and potentially harmful chemicals[1]). This is obviously

I liked this youtube video that covers the same topic[1]. The US focusing entirely on this strategy to increase fire safety seems obviously stupid to me. As people say in other comments here - Europe and other countries require better fire

Oh! That's great. The mocktails I've seen are generally complex, well-crafted drinks that are missing the bite that makes alcoholic drinks so satisfying to sip. I guess I need to check out more mocktails.

Depending on the time of action it could be very useful in addressing the "lag" in alcohol hitting your system. If someone is drinking heavily, they regularly reach an uncomfortable level of intoxication before all the alcohol in

by aeturnum 2y ago
It's both right? Alcohol is a dopaminergic[1] in all amounts. Your brain, to some degree, likes you drinking (which may be offset by side effects). A much smaller group of people genuinely enjoy the taste and physical experience of dri

It seems great to change the REPL to treat it like a statement! This is obviously a better user experience. I also think it's somewhat funny given Python's history on "should common functionality be accessed through statement

I think the Conventional PR Wisdom is that releasing a statement when you do things like this will be better than not doing it. So yes, most companies would make some sized press release and have a statement ready to go before doing somethi

There's a pretty consistent stream of relatively senior postings on the elixir forums[1] as well as a number of successful large-scale elixir deploys (Discord, Heroku, etc) that probably do their own recruiting. I get the sense that YC

I believe chess evaluation functions are always the difference between your opponent and you - i.e. it's "the same" to take a piece or avoid them taking yours. You must simply find any path to check. STS, on the other hand, i

I personally am more interested in micro-hosting services like omg.lol[1]. I do self host a few services, but they are generally on VPNs that have smaller attack surfaces. I don't think it's practical for most individuals to maint

Like many, I am not overly bearish "on ai" - I am bearish on an "ai-focused laptop in late 2024." I think what you say is roughly true and maybe in six months I'll be wishing my portable computer ran AI faster, but

I fully agree! I'm also disappointed (but not surprised) that kobo (or some other 3rd party epub seller) hasn't created an API where you register a key pair (or whatever) and can decrypt books on your devices. I suspect it's

IMO Kobo is absolutely built to be a "better managed library experience" than kindle - but as you say other platforms are better if you have a large non-drm'ed library. Unless you plan to buy books from publishers / use

Lots of talk about how Musk's controversies are hurting the company (agree!) but I think a bigger problem may be his tendency to hyper-focus on things. Many tesla models have not received significant updates or styling changes in years

For small teams I also think Kubernetes often greatly complicates the per-service operational overhead by making it much more difficult for most engineers to manage their own deployments. You will inevitably reach a point that engineers nee

That's not the argument at all? We're talking about "the tax" and who it falls on. It's not good that some poor people will have to pay it. That's obviously a downside. It's also only one of many unfair co

I suspect this summary is fundamentally mistaken. I'm sure at least one poor person will have to pay this tax, but my understanding is that the revenue from it will be used to improve systems used by the general public and the wealthy

I do think these kinds of "virtual presence" apps are possible and exciting - and also I think there are huge new challenges that come with the Vision Pro's better spatial computing. If you are in a video game (like fortnight
