Haha I was there too. I remember he made thinking clearly seem so simple. What a humble man. If I remember correctly, his talk was about how the world of science-the pure pursuit of truth-and the world of engineering-the practical applicati

They're amazing for digital art. That and reading PDFs at near true-life size.

They didn’t take away a one-time purchase option for it though. It just never existed to begin with so the op’s point remains.

I think something that often isn't considered with affirmative action is the benefits that are conferred to the people who are not in a minority. In other words it is a genuinely useful thing to go to a university with a broad spectrum

Hypocrisy? I said each side acts in their interest: NATO and Russia. My point was only to ask whose interest would readers on HN prefer prevail? It's a simple question. Do we want to live in a world where Russia achieves their strategi

So what? Everyone acts in to further their interests. NATO expands because it's in NATO's interest to do so. Russia says that this expansion is not in Russia's interest. Why only say the Russian part and leave out the NATO pa

The AI/LLM movement is either utterly transformational or it’s not. By the former I mean there is no daylight between it and the latter. If it’s not transformational then this is a bubble and the market will right itself soon after, e.

My friends and I have been doing a book club like this online for years, where we only read books in the public domain. It’s been an amazing experience and I think we look forward to it each week. https://b00k.club

Without any context safety _can_ mean a lot of things, but it's usually used as a property of a system and used alongside liveness. Basically, safety is "bad things won't happen" and liveness is "good things eventua

Email workers of all things seem to have slowed down dramatically, although they're not down completely.

The real thing that forces one to choose micro services over modules is when data isolation is a requirement, e.g. security. Capabilities based programming could come along way though to help with closing that gap.

Not at all. Neil and buzz were first and second astronauts on the moon. If we ask who was on the moon before them then the answer is nobody. I think that’s agreeable. So then what am I talking about? It’s just counting. I’m going to explain

I agree with all of this. The original discussion was regarding there's no such thing as a zeroth X, and what I've been trying to say this whole time is sure there is, it's the beginning. Which is why you start counting time

O you’re right. How could I forget the first minute of each day is 12:01, or that a previously unknown computer exploit is called a 1-day exploit. And everybody knows a pandemic starts with patient 1!

Ok as soon as you start walking your are in the first block, I agree. So then where are you before that? What block were you at before you started moving, when you were giving directions? What is the name of the block from which you left to

by asimpletune 11mo ago
If you’re at a corner and someone asks for directions, you say “three blocks that way”. That means three blocks starting from here. Then what do you call “here”? The name for where you start from in this scenario is usually not required bec

Functions can accept/return multiple values though? // In typescript const [a, b, c] = foo(d, e, f) You could even pass this to itself foo(…foo(d, e, f)) Also one definition of a function is a map from a domain to a range. Th

One explanation is this is the standard rollout of Amazon. First they undercut all the local options, and then once the population embraces them they flip the switch. Amazon has always been about cash flow over profits. So they don’t really

De Cecco is great for a big brand. The best way to know if a dry pasta is good is by the color. The more pale (i.e. less yellow) the better. This is because a more costly, slower drying method preserves the original color better.

Honestly it’s sad to see people cheering on a car dependent future and then to act like they’re sticking it to the man. The GAH became so much better when it closed, and the subset is already super car friendly even without it.

I honestly think they didn't sell well because they were called 'mini'. They should have just marketed them as the base level iPhone and it might have had a chance.

I think OOP suffers in particular because patterns aren’t a mathematically defined thing like monads etc. They’re just a convention and I think that permits misunderstanding and dogmatism. It’s fine though.
