Agreed. I thought the article was really interesting. I don’t know much about how the author got their data, it seems like it’s a Kaggle dataset and I’m not familiar with how that was procured, but the analysis was really fascinating to me.

Thanks, and oh wow. Hard to believe that was ever considered problematic. I guess times change.

What is format and time shifting? I am wondering if you mean like code formatting and reordering history, but I’m not really sure. Thanks.

That’s a cool idea. I don’t know much about ASTs or anything but I know you are right about LSP being able to find most everything I am searching for in the mostly statically typed languages I’ve worked with. Would be fun to try that out ov

I also feel like that SpaceX hyperloop link could use this context: > As I’ve written in my book, Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in

I just read this poem and I agree with you about the lines: > And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. I don’t believe that a

Daniel Stenberg, the lead maintainer of cURL, has some interesting tweets about this topic. In fact several of the toxic comments he posts are from people who seem to lack a basic understanding of what the project even provides. https:&#x2

A fine article. > There is no need to abuse the maintainer, repeatedly post the bug, harass them over twitter. All this results in is people wanting to not contribute their time and expertise for free. > [...] > Always remember you

I agree pretty strongly with the premise of this article. Unexpected or unnoticed bottlenecks and localized issues can lead to cascading failures. A book I read more than a decade ago helped me learn about this stuff: Release It! by Michael

Thanks for the recommendation. It is nice to see. I have read both of the novels myself, as well as at least one of the Penumbra novellas (it's been a while). I really enjoyed the Penumbra stuff; I have to admit I remember feeling slig

This is a crazy story. It is a tale of compassion and human perseverance against nature. But parts of it really bother me. To equate risking everything for a chance at a decent life with the struggles of foundership is discarding the inhere

The ones linked in these comments are hilarious. Sadly it is not working for me right now, probably exceeded some kind of quota. EDIT: I did some testing; it seems to work fine for me on desktop Firefox, but not on my iPhone.

One question about the article. What does the phrase “soup the negatives” mean?

Damn, I had some fairly old opinion of Doctorow where I disliked him for some reason or other, but I am definitely revising that. I thought this was a great article. I am certain “bossware” will accelerate the downfall of already shitty wor

Thanks very much for that PNAS article. If I may attempt a brief summary: listening (paying attention) matters.

Hi, thanks for your interest! I am definitely happy to share, but I didn’t expect any interest and I posted my comment under my HN pseudonym account. However when I link to the repo on GitHub that thin veneer of obscurity will disappear and

I feel the same way. I strongly believe that choice of language makes a huge difference in your material’s reception. Any time I am told that something I’m doing is wrong by an article, an inanimate piece of text that clearly has no cogniti

I used to query flagged comments from time to time using the API, just out of some morbid curiosity. It definitely used to work for that; I am not sure if flagged items are in the same class as dead ones, though, or if they have since delib

My understanding is that this is the official HN API. I think Firebase is a YC company. Others can correct me if I'm wrong. See the link at the bottom of every HN item page. Edit: I took a look, it seems like Firebase is owned by Googl

I do feel like we are all a little beholden to bash and it is tiring. While I will put simple work into simple bash scripts I always use shellcheck and do ‘set -euo pipefail’. For the life of me I can’t remember what that is or why I need i
