This kind of response is rude and unhelpful. This is how they are finding it out. Just googling "X vs Y" invariably gives you worthless SEO spam these days. A forum like HN, where you can hear about the experiences of other peop

Render's free DB tier isn't really usable when the data gets nuked after 90 days. Really strange decision IMO.

It's also emphasized in the onboarding materials which is probably more impactful than an internal policy page.

Not to shame the author--I'm glad when people share the stories--but the thing that surprised me is that the author knew the "hang up and call the number on your card" advice but didn't seem to understand why it's

Since a good bit before 2014, even. They used to recruit very heavily from MIT (while Palantir was overrepresented at Stanford and Quora at Harvard--all of these reflecting the almae matres of the founders). Note that this was before the po

Yes, this is scam prevention 101. Anyone who called you is always unverified. It's hard for me to take seriously a "scam prevention expert" who doesn't seem to know or follow this rule, which by itself is enough to prote

This honestly looks perfectly reasonable to me. It's obviously far harder than the SAT math section (which isn't saying much since SAT math is a bit of a joke), but the questions look completely fair and not at all like they'

I already said why in my first comment: > Why would you want to do this? Well, what about layout? And what if you have a component that wraps or otherwise behaves like an HTML element? Yes, it's nothing something you'd want to

On the other hand, I find Svelte's handling of this half-baked, as there's no way to pass scoped classes to a component, only to a HTML element. [1] In fact, I find this so frustrating that I have actually given up on Svelte'

This is a classic illustration of the Central Limit Theorem--in fact, the example is even on the Wikipedia page [0]. The distribution tends towards a normal distribution as n increases (though to actually take the limit you need to rescale)

It's not just "authoritarian governments" but rather "governments" in general, unless you consider the EU government to be authoritarian. And circumventing the law has always been the prime use case for crypto since

Inertia [1] is an interesting project in this space that might solve some of your problems. I haven't used it, but I believe the general goal is to make it easy to "plug in" client-side frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte) into se

Probably the equivalent would be a custom store, something like this: <script> import { writable } from "svelte/store"; function autoCounter(interval, initialValue = 0) { let { subscribe, update } =

Yep, these are used extensively at Google (which is where the abseil library came from, and which is famously anti-cpp-exceptions) and they work very well. If I somehow found myself writing a new C++ project I'd probably reach for abse
