The exhibition of his work on at Dulwich Picture Gallery at the moment is brilliant. (south east London, until 12th March). I hadn’t heard of him before going and it was well worth it. It’s really inspiring stuff. For example, some pieces a

For the benefit of other readers, I think you mean “..correlates CO2 with PM2.5..” I’m basically a layman here and I agree that CO2 and PM2.5 particles are completely unrelated. PPM is Parts Per Million, i.e. a general measure of density of

Second this. I switched recently and it’s been great. The tool to import all my email from gmail worked flawlessly.

Riiight, that makes a LOT more sense. This would have been HUGE if the actual repos were infected and it wasn’t even at the top here at HN. I was very worried for a minute there, your comment has calmed me right down. Thank you!

Same here. `make test` beats `./gradlew clean test` in one project and `pytest -s ...` in another, etc.

I know what you mean, because of those 3 species, dogs are the only ones to be commonly kept as pets. But what is it that puts horses, dogs, and cows in the same/different categories?

Really stunning visuals for super interesting content – yet again someone's taken the guts of an idea I had and executed it 100x better than I ever could! Love it

Not all dings are equal. If they're replies to messages you've sent (i.e. the continuation of a conversation) or your latest instagram post getting a like, you're gonna get that hit. Namely, for the validation that someone ou

You could have a look into how https://worldle.teuteuf.fr/ does it. I'm sure there are better ways but might spark some inspiratino at least!

I disagree with a "high effort ask" being a wasted effort if no-one's around. Just because no-one's around now doesn't mean someone won't be around later. And writing down your thoughts can often be enough to c

Yes but they seem to have some pretty draconian rules where a beautiful looking music catalogue (for users and Apple’s marketing screenshots) is more important than the artistic nature of whatever album art the musician might want. Who are

Along the same lines as realising that you'll eventually want to get rid of things is realising—at the time of purchase—that there'll be a cost (time, money, emotional) to getting rid of it is a healthier way of thinking. The idea

Fellow outlier here, perhaps we should begin to meet regularly to discuss our shared beliefs and how to proliferate them? I wouldn’t expect us to be outliers here to be honest but it’s always interesting to see what other replies there are

A paragraph can be crafted to have a centrepiece. That's not something I'd considered before so I'll be keeping an eye out. Could be a sentence, a word, or a punctuation mark; whatever's needed to make it linger. And, tr

"FD 100" was my introduction to programming too! This short post just brought it all back! I've remembered for years that there was some for loop syntax that I'd used as a kid. I knew it wasn't "for" so se

It’s the convenience that’s missing. The difference is not having to worry about the weather (too hot, too cold, wet) and even aside from that, carrying an extra set of clothes even in ideal conditions. And you’re obviously limited as to ho

Setting something like this up has been an idea of mine for a while. Glad someone's done it. Being able to get simple plain-text diffs of documents (preferably through git) that you've agreed to or signed should be the expected st
